“If” isn’t the right word, since Kirk famously did kiss Uhura. But yes, the censors were against it. The scene was filmed both with and without the kiss, so the actors “accidentally” ruined every take that didn’t include it.

Agreed - I have not the slightest interest in Disney’s live action direct remakes, but I don’t mind seeing more “villain’s perspective” stories. They at least offer something a little different than what we’ve already seen. Maleficent was pretty solid as well, though the sequel was a big disappointment for me.

We aren’t too keen on puppy murderers either, but Cruella got her moment.

Yup, I’ve always externalized my thoughts when alone. Got teased for it occasionally when I was caught, but always seemed weird to me that people don’t. One of the many reasons I’m probably on the spectrum, but it’s not causing any harm.

The first in the series was The Ashes of Eden, which I think was the best in many ways… though not quite as joyously wild as The Return. Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens co wrote them all. They didn’t get an official credit until later, but I think they always had a mention in the acknowledgements.

No way are they addressing this during the show. They know that can only make them look worse and prompt people to click away. The hosting is always light hearted and (bad) jokey, not a time they want to be delivering sincere defenses.

I was fine with Clark’s parents, but bothered that they met Lois for the first time, she stayed overnight, and we got virtually no interaction. Definitely one of the spots where I’d have liked to see some of the screen time given to overlong action scenes or the Justice Whatever reallocated to Superman’s supporting cast. I did like the movie overall, though.

“If you can’t take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It’s not safe out here. It’s wondrous, with sausages to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it’s not for the timid.”

Though honestly, I personally like to imagine that Tom Paris really likes Star Wars, but when he brings it up, everyone thinks it’s just another one of his campy 20th century films.

I mean, it is, isn’t it?

Like letting the air out of a balloon!

Season 1 of Picard started with such promise, but it’s clear they had no roadmap. They meandered around not developing the main plot until they had to throw together the most slapdash resolution in the last few episodes.

But I liked the concept of Picard in a new setting with new characters, on the outs with Starfleet but holding up its ideals even while the actual organization fell behind. A much better premise than season 3’s “lets just make everything like it was thirty years ago again!” approach.

Yeah, I mean, I’ll steal from my partner’s plate when they’re done, but if the cat leaves a little behind it’s for the trash.

Five seasons for Disco, SNW, and LD. I’d love more, but I think that’s respectable for streaming series. Doesn’t seem like they’re trying to escape anything.

You’re not suggesting that Star Trek fans might have had a negative overreaction to something just because it wasn’t 110% familiar and comfortable for them, are you? Why, that would be unprecedented.

My biggest concern is with the new ownership. The lack of any announced queer rep, SNW’s tepid third season, and even the pointed heteronormative attire in this poster all seem in line with a Trek that’s not going to push for anything progressive.

I agree with you that a Star Trek teen drama has potential though. Star Trek was built to encompass a variety of genres. Most around here seem to have appreciated the Star Trek animated comedy, and I don’t hear much denigrating of Bakula’s West Wing in space proposal, so I don’t see why 90210 in space should be such a punchline.

It was eventually added back in for the Director’s Edition, though.

I’m shocked it’s taken this long for someone to post that piece of comedy gold.

For the men? Yes. Women must be slender with nice legs.

Wait, what if this is an in-universe recruitment ad?

T’be fair, seems likely his nephew has a torpedo funeral service en route. It was good enough for Spock, after all.
