Enterprise had some descent ideas, but it suffered from being on UPN and the writers thinking that shoving boobs in our faces would make nerds give certain things a pass. At its worst, it overused time travel and marginalized the borg. At its best, it tied into the mirror universe stuff and...

Regarding DS9, if you are going to watch it, skip the first two seasons entirely. Basically, the point at which they introduce Elam Garrek is when the show gets good. TNG really had nothing but shit prior to season three, also, honestly. Voyager had some pretty shitty characters in it and the...

The people hating on this probably only watched a couple episodes. The first three or four are mostly setup. The major payoffs are the first Tobias and Maebey episodes. The Gob shit was funny as hell, too. Honestly, once it got rolling, only the Buster episode felt flat to me. I am glad...

This thread has been entertaining, but as much as I feel like Tanoomba's feminism regurgitations put him in the "may as well start sucking dicks" column, I stand by my original assertion that its possible for older guys to have genuine female friends. The thought of fucking them is going to...

I think it was. There were entire episodes like the song flute one or the Riker in the insane asylum one that essentially were introspective character pieces. It was also jammed to the gills with Shakespearian references. Not sure what a show would have to do to qualify as cerebral among...

TNG was a good show, but it was as you said very cerebral. It took three seasons before Rodenberry more or less got marginalized and it picked up, which is pretty much what happened with both DS9 and Voyager (though the latter never got especially good). The best episodes of TNG were generally...

double post

Dumar is rapidly becoming the Utnayan of this tread. Sorry about your penis, bro. As someone who like Kruegen watched the originals before TNG even existed, I greatly enjoy both for thier merrits. Sorry you can't see past your own nerd hipsterism on this one.

What I was saying was that Khan was unable to overcome his nature. Had he done so, he might have been able to free his people and simply be imprisoned.

Well, there are people who fuck who have no intention of getting into a relationship. If you think all female friendships lead to one party trying to jump the other, then I think you are still at the point in your life where your dick is making most of your decisions. At that point, you are...

ID had two main themes. Maturity (the whole Kirk not being ready for the chair thing) and vengeance (Khan wanting to fuck over the people who used his fellow supermen to blackmail him, Kirk wanting to avenge Pike, Spock bottling up his feelings about Vulcan until they bubbled over), which were...

Actually, I have had one or two female friends bail my ass out of serious shit at odd hours of the night and put me up when shit went south with life in various ways. I admit it is more the exception than the rule, as I tend to hang around tomboys (married one too) and none of the women I...

I look forward to General (kl)Anthony's valuable contributions to this topic of discussion. On topic, this is more or less what happens when you ignore wackos. They do progressively more extreme shit to draw attention to themselves.

The Great Intelligence is a long time enemy of the Doctor (dating back to the second one, if memory serves), so I think Moffat just pulled him out of the archives to facilitate the whole "Impossible Girl" story line. I really hope that the Valeyard is the direction they are going with the John...

And it is easier to have female friends you are not married to once you are married and settled down. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive. If you are a single male (especially one of those forever alone guys), then yeah, having platonic female friends who are not using you is unlikely.

The other thing is that we are looking at the characters at an earlier point in their development (Wrath was post 5 year careers winding down, ID was before 5 year even began) as well as different audiences for movies. Some films can never be made again because the expectations of audiences are...

Well my wife is a nerd and my best friend, besides being my wife. Maybe you guys marry poofta women you can showboat around to friends and such, but I like being able to do nerd shit with my wife. I like that we argue over who gets to play the next fallout installment first. Treat a woman...

Its a function of age and being in a relationship of your own. When you are younger and looking to fuck anything that moves (and women are generally at their zenith of crazy), you will only put up with women that are either going to put out or serve as a means to get other women to put out...

Vycron and I made arrangements to play Tuesday night at 7pm PST. My stunty is done and awaiting validation.

I had a warhammer tourney and just got back. I am working to get my games in.

Liked it. Might have liked it more if they had more if there was a tad more plot and more dialog interaction with Cumberbatch, but I am having a hard time remembering a movie with better pacing than this one. Aliens maybe? Literally no wasted time in this movie, just kept the foot on the gas...

I forget, does Vycron have an IRC alias?

Most of their armor downloads tend to be cosmetic, but the robe had nice stats. Anyhow, completed the first run. Changing back to a Sorcerer and facerolling Earthquake and Meteor Swarm on everything made the expansion a lot easier, but the last fight was some annoying shit as a caster. I...

Or Jay Leno's love child.

We used to call that Kirk Fu in my nerd circle. That specific move was known as the Kirk Chops, which you first have to lull your foe into a false sense of security by letting them bear hug you and lift you off the ground. I love the reboots as much as the original, but Shatner is the fucking...

In the Modern Era, Nolan, Wright, Guy Ritchie, and Abrahms. Say what you will, but I know that no matter what happens, I will not feel like I wasted money on a trip to the theatre for one of their films, at least for the spectacle alone. Of the batch, I like Ritchie the best, mostly due to...

Seems likely, considering this is supposedly patterned after the modernized R&J movie Leo did way back when.

All of them once you find the drop in the expansion.

I will never understand the love for this book, outside of people who treat Atlas Shrugged as the bible, of course. Redford could not make this boring bleak story watchable and I have my doubts that DiCaprio can, either. None of the characters are people you would root for or empathize with...

This. Xmen also have a completely different sort of tone compared to the more conventional characters and story that the Avengers spring from. FF could be rolled in, but I honestly would not bother at this point. There is already a lot for the average short attention span American audience...

So the room just past the bottom of the tower with two Clopses chained to the wall in a hall full of harpies and a pair of wolf boss things was a random monster spawn? That room seemed staged to me, honestly, because of the Clopses starting chained up. And they should have just made Wakestones...

Yeah, seriously, the Politics thread is in General guys.

The expansion areas are brutal, at least the boss fights are. I was running around as a magic archer with full dragonforged Ur gear around level 125ish and some of the boss fights are really nasty. I ended up going back to being a Sorcerer and just AEfuckit trolling the boss fights, since they...

Regarding Ace, she was one of Fenrick's Wolves. Fenrick was the uber space vampire being that the 7th Doctor had as his main recurring villain. That story line was never fully realized due to the cancellation of the classic series. In ancient Time Lord lore, the space vampires were their...

IF you need a filler team, I can bowl a Nurgle, Khorne, or Ogre team, whatever you want played. Let me know if you need one.

I actually like Matt Smith, as he reminds me of the best aspects of Baker and Troughton, who did much of the defining work on the character. His supporting cast, on the other hand, has been very hit or miss. River in small doses is excellent, but in large doses the show veers too far off...

...assuming they haven't been tainted with cancer or gonnacacacas, like you did to her vag.

Dark Elves are better in a bash centric environment, thanks to the higher AV and additional blitzers. The biggest problem with injury management on a Wood Elf team is that the linemen are pretty expensive to replace for what amounts to a skill less S3 derp who can happen to handle the ball in a...

Bioware got fucked out of being able to complete work on both KOTR games by Lucasarts pushing the schedule on them. Of course, I do not expect EA to be any better in that regard. I expect Call of Duty Wookie Warfare and a slew of sequels with mandatory online multiplayer to be the ultimate...

That is actually a travesty, when you consider General Clansman is still shitting up general with his racist bullshit non stop. Sean is a much more active and OCD mod though, so.....
