I'm was only comparing because the original argument was the character arcs in ID were superior (Though Krueg has a point that outside of Kirk/Nimoy/Spock, everyone else could be cardboard)--and I was showing how the "high concept", or themes, in Wrath of Khan were pretty masterfully all worked...

It wasn't just about the Macguffen falling into the "wrong hands"--it was also a commentary that even science in the wrong hands can still produce something that's a net benefit. That's why the constant commentary about the "needs of the few"--it's a commentary on perspective. If the only...

You said it had better character arcs. Kirk's tragic arc is actually really, really great. We start with a character that does not face loss, and refuses to believe in it. Through some small vulnerabilities the character is shown to maybe be losing his edge (From age, overconfidence ect, lots of...

lol? I know you're just trying to make a point against Dumar. But Wrath of Khan was actually a good film, with good writing, clearly defined arcs, internal logical/consistency. Into the Darkness is an action film, with bad writing, messy character logic, and poor consistency--because it's all...

I didn't say it, but I checked it out when it was said. She does, indeed, have a "no nudity" clause in her contract that was put in after season 1. I'm guessing she wanted more control over the scenes they shot. She performs nude in plays though, so I guess it was more about controlling the sex...

I think the Serling Quote on Wikipedia sums it up pretty well....Rod Serling claimed that the former was "the improbable made possible" (Sci-Fiction) while the latter was "the impossible made probable" (Fantasy) I usually just use it as a term for how tight the technical aspect of the...

The thing is, you really have to go in with the mindset that this is Science Fantasy, not fiction. And lets be fair, this shit hasn't been Science Fiction since the second season of DS9. However, even though the whole franchise became "Sci-Fantasy" with techno babble, it usually had (Not always...

Not unless they were married. Everything we've seen says that Bastards are low man on the totem pole, and Jon Snow is still a bastard, even if he is Rhaegar's son. However, since Targs are polygamists, it's possible they were married, in which case, being male, he'd be above Daeny.

I too fucking hated Heathcliff. It was especially bad because they alternated Heathcliff/GI-joe in the same time slot, rotating every few months. Right around when Duke almost died they swapped in Heathcliff, I was way fucking rustled.

Maybe they should cast Silent Bob as Strong Belwas.

Go ESO super mega collectors bro. Go big or go home, as it were.

Honestly, when I thought if Tyrion, I always pictured this guy (When he was in Twin Peaks)

Watch the scene with Terminator music. Noseriously

I think anyone that says they get "everything" is just lying :P a lot of the stuff I see is only because someone else caught it, and I started thinking about it. But that's what makes these shows great. You can enjoy it just sitting down and watching it, and not picking up any of the smaller...

This surprises me. Siz and I discussed this at the end of Season 5 (Disagreed :P)--Megan's transformation at the end of Season 5 into a more superficial, self-interested figure and how it turned Don off, completely. Given Megan's actions last season, I'm surprised why people don't see why Don...

Yeah, this is what I got out of it too. The whole Domination Don started before anything bad happened at work, so this was not based off any emasculation there. This was totally because he didn't want a sexual affair to turn into an actual relationship. And if it was heading to a more full time...

Spiderman is a gold mine, even the last bad one. And he was an Avenger, right? I think Whedon would have popped a nerd boner to have Spider Man helping out in New York during the final battle.

I can't say because it hasn't been broadcast yet.

Just Roger being Roger. The only thing that guy ever did was throw a fit after he was fired the first time--it was the only episode he was on the show I think.

The discussion was about them mentioning it. Since your comment was on that discussion, you were wrong and they did care enough to mention it--twice. Now, like I said, lets move on. No more rustling.

Actually in the end, he admitted and made some kind of quip about being in heaven.

They literally spent a whole scene talking about how empty clothes meant death. Why do you think in this case it means just being empty?

Was surprised we didn't see the main Character go berserk and explode from the Titan. Maybe it will be more like GoT and the main character will transfer to the chick. Shocking for an Anime.

Empty set of clothes on the bed as Don was leaving, more death symbolism. Also, there is a tea set on the bed, and the room is 503---the episode 503 was Tea Leaves. It's probably a stretch, but Tea Leaves was about Betty's cancer, and her wondering how the kids would react to her death, and in...

I have to do my part after so much work went into this thread.

Honestly, I was entertained by the movie, and it's a very effective movie--like Avatar. But it's not a great story, or a great movie. And it's not because of the plot holes. The fact is, almost every movie has plot holes, or the need to suspend belief in the complexity of how an event happened...

For me, it was Jason and the Argonauts--my parents had a copy and I watched it just about 3 times a week when I was really young. I loved all the special effects in that movie.

When they said it was competing with the Mustang, I thought it was the Camaro --as that was the intention of the Camaro's design. But bleh, Camaro came out in 67, so I guess it is the Vega, lol, hopping from the English Jag to the American version.

When I was 12 I balled my eyes out when they shot Old Yeller. Fuck you rabies....fuck you.

Well, as you thought, the Paris stuff was mentioned in passing...I guess the Doctor's son is headed there. And it was through Megan's parents. The best part was Don's face when he said "We got it"...And the slow realization for Peggy that Don was her boss again, LOL. On a good note, it looks...

Perfect for each other.

Are you going to punch his dickoff? Then yeah, he will look worse, because the explosion of signals in his brain would still be in the realm of comprehensible, and he wouldn't go straight into shock.

The only way it's going to be unexpected is if he stays dead the rest of the season. But I'm going to guess he is going to go Berserk and burst out of the Titan, like.... And so the anime cliche of the hero reaching a "new level" will be fulfilled.

You and Edge should totally have angst driven sex, you're perfect for each other.

This. I've always felt there should be two forms of invisibility. The first would be kind of like what LoL uses a lot--"True stealth" that lasts a very short amount of time, and is restricted in the space and time it can take. It's purpose is to mainly engage (From the more permanent camo) or to...

George Jones died first, this was the third.

I sense powerful attention trolling in this one....

There have been multiple attempts to add crash "resistance" systems....Like one where they attempted to put a chemical in the jet fuel where a catalyst could be released and instantly render it inert. Another was some kind of on board super foam, to prevent fire. (There was a whole discovery...

Xaro Xhoan Daxos is dead in the show, but not in the books.
