Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[fireproof78]

So when we see someone with money and power get away with doing what you spend years and years and years actively suppressing yourself from doing, of course you're going to get irritated. And then when you see the star of a show you're eagerly anticipating defend that action... yeah.

All I see is violence being rewarded. And now I have to talk with child clients about not getting in to fights at school.

It's a huge struggle for me because it just reflects a large double standard of what is expected at one level (behavior at school, or going through a workplace violence prevention program as I do) and seeing this all go on and impact a show I was semi looking forward to, or at least the first season.

Now, well, less so.

Can we please get back on topic?
There's another subforum to talk about this.

Agreed. With the expected apology from Will Smith now public record, let's all just move on.

Now it’s canon.

Rock needs a Red Alert light strip running up and down his head.

Hey we got a new Strange New Worlds forum. Any chance we couldn't get this thread relocated?

 

[fireproof78]

Why?

 

[cooleddie74]

We finally have the forum.

Everybody take off your shoes when you go in the first time. This isn't TNZ, you know.

 

[shapeshifter]

I agree. A new SNW General Discussion thread for the new forum. A fresh start.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

No need, we've been beamed!

 

[cooleddie74]

Great. That means we all just died.

 

[Quinton]

Why do you guys think I renamed it last night...?

The old title had a certain charm to it, but the new one is certainly much more legit-sounding!

 

[NCC-73515]

as a person who works in the law field..
What Will done was a crime, and should have been arrested by the cops that were on duty at the event.
Yes, Chris decided not to press charges, but Will should have had a night in jail..

Imagine getting your Oscar in jail by mail

A Chris Rock/Will Smith slap thread masquerading as a Strange New Worlds thread in a brand new forum was not what I was expecting to wake up to today but ok.

 

[plynch]

I think it was because Anson Mount said something not critical of Smith.
Which is BAD. Will Smith is BAD now. #cancelwill

We live in a very Manichean culture.

To slap a fellow man is REALLY BAD. If you, F. King Daniel do not immediately castigate him on my say so, I am boycotting all Paramount movies from now on.

(But that -- Mount's comment -- really is the reason why.)
