On a brighter note.
I saw The Last jedi this past weekend.
How excited are you for this Star Wars film as compared to Star Wars films of the past?
TV shows you loved as a child, but couldn't stand when rewatching them as an adult.
Has anyone read the short story this film is based on?
any one find this yet?

I read him back in the 80's in marvel comics presents, and he showed up in the Fantastic four comics. Along with the avengers.
Yeah everything has to be so political now. I just want to watch a movie of a character I use to read about as a kid, and escape reality for a couple hours.
I was thinking the same thing. She shows so much compassion for M. Georgiou who is a complete monster. She ate alien slaves, and committed mass genocide. Yet Tyler who couldn't help what the Klingon's done to him is all like "screw you".
Also I find it odd that a show that takes pot shots at the Trump administration would at the same time. Try to get it's audience to sympathize with mirror universe Georgiou who is basically a sadistic, psychopathic, space Hitler.
I know your right. I find the excuse they give for the Defiant looking different pure B.S. It seems they want their cake and eat it too. They want to treat this series like a reboot, but market it to fans as prime universe.
Then how do the writers of this show explain the drastic changes in the Klingons, and their ships? They look like a totally different species from any Klingon we've seen before? Also that is not explained in the episode, that the vessel was altered or even still in use. A viewer shouldn't have to watch the special features to have details explained to them. When they show the schematic of the Defiant any viewer is going to assume it's a schematic of when the ship was found, and not a version that has been altered.
Then the writers and producers of this show have no respect for trek continuity. The Vulcans should have been seen as part of the Terran empire, and not the rebels. Like they were in the original mirror universe episode. Which they went out of their way to explain that only humans were apart of the empire, and no aliens were accepted.
The writers have also stated that this show would deal with alternate versions of the Trek universe, and alternate versions of Sarek.
I don't know if everyone has pieced this together yet, but Discovery does not take place in the prime trek universe. The mirror episodes just revealed that. Look at the scene were they check out the schematics of the U.S.S. Defiant constitution class that came from the future. It's design is differen't from the U.S.S. Defiant that disappeared in the Star Trek:OST episode, and reappeared in the past in the mirror universe. Which was featured in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode a mirror darkly.
Also this mirror universe is a mirror of their alternate universe, and not the prime universe. So it's an alternate mirror universe to the prime mirror universe.
I clicked on the link, but couldn't find the article. However I think rebooting Alien is a stupid idea right off the bat. Also recasting Ripley with a man is stupid. Even if Ripley was recast with a younger female actress the idea would be stupid.
What reboot has worked out? Total Recall reboot was crap, Robocop reboot was crap, and so was the Ghostbusters reboot.
I'd rather see the Alien 5 that Blomkamp's, with the original Ripley return, and have an adult Newt to carry on the torch.
I watch Alien once a year I love the film so much, and man you can't replace Sigourney Weaver. Ripley is her role.
Ripley is in my top five favorite female sci fi characters of all time.
You are right. High ticket sales doesn't always mean a movie is good. A lot of factors is go into if a movie is a hit or not. A lot of movies that have bombed in the theatre became classic hits in the home rental market.
Good one, that made me laugh.
A lot of SJW's are authoritarian, and they are not just on the left. There are right wing SJW's as well. Doing things like shaming two women into shutting down their fajita truck in Seattle just because they are white. Or trying to shut down any speakers that have a different opinion at universities instead of debating them.
So it's people who are against authoritarianism. You must think it's wrong for someone else to have the morale authority to tell people who they can, and can't marry? How is that any different from telling people they can or can't have a certain business they might be providing a good or service. That didn't originate from their culture?
