Yeah I saw that. It was awesome for what it was but the sets looked like they were made of plywood and you could see the block of foam they used to cover up the giant opening on the back of his mask. That plus Batman lost, so there's that as well. =P
Buttman losing was the best part!
^Yes, there was. And her dialogue was conveyed between brackets, too, for some distractingly annoying reason.

When does he not look like he's on drugs? He's always been this spooky kind of guy.
And that is why I love him (insert Frink-antagonizing "no homo" statement here).
^THIS should be canon.

It's not the wrong thread. The question was asked, "what do you like about the EU?" I responded "nothing". Not a darn thing. And explained why.
Which is basically the same as going into a thread about -- say -- favourite hobbies and saying "not stamp collecting".
Either give an example of something you actually like (not the absence of that something, but the actual something) or just go to the "What do you HATE about the EU?" thread and say "everything".
I did that. And that doesn't change the fact that I still answered the question here correctly.
*sigh*

"Nothing" isn't "something". "Nothing" -- like it says on the label -- is "nothing".
After months of watching it on-and-off, I've finished my rewatch of Spider-Man: The Animated Series (AKA the Spider-Man cartoon from the '90s).
While I like the first two seasons, I can't stand the rest. I grew weary of the incredibly stupid censorship and the overuse of the Kingpin, and the overall lousy execution of practically everything else -- Spidey's supporting cast, his other villains, the other superheroes, the storylines -- just served to earn my disdain. Frankly, I think the talents of the entire cast -- regulars and guests alike -- were wasted on the tripe they had to work with.
Oh, well, at least the final two episodes were good, allowing the show to finish on a relatively high note.

Some of us come into this thread expecting a discussion on Star Wars stereotypes and instead find a discussion about Kahn.
And some of us are actually furthering conversation in general instead of filling the thread with complaints. This is what real conversation does. It weaves in and out of a topic as other similarly relevant topics are brought to mind and subsequently mentioned.
I think TV's Frink just hates Trek.
Oh no you don't, I'm not going to start talking about what Trek I like and what Trek I don't in the wrong thread.
Just keep on trekkin'.
^YES!
"Hi, my name is Carrie Fisher. I'm known for playing Princess Leia Organa in the original Star Wars trilogy and the crazy gun-weilding bitch in The Blues Brothers. I happen to have a fondness for white, powdery snow."
"Hi, my name is Stevie Nicks. I'm known for playing Lindsey Buckingham's guitar back in the '70s. I, too, happen to have a fondness for white, powdery snow."
"Did I he'ya someone mention a fondness for powda'ry snow?!"
"Yes."
"Dat is so cool! I, too, have a fondess for white, powda'ry snow! I fact, I have a whole load of da stuff stashed away fo'ya special occassions! Would you pa'ya of beauta'ful snowburds like ta sha'ya some with me?"
"Sure!"
"Just go inta da transporta ova dere --"
"-- it's wa'ya I keep my snow to keep it nice und chilled!"
"Well now, I, um, would advise against doing that. For, you see, the, um, transporter is, well, um, unstable at this time. It is, um, finicky, in fact. It would be very, very, very unwise to, um, go inside it right now!"
"You lai!"
"Well, you see, um, no, I don't!"
"Shaddap! Now get oudda here before I tyrn you inta a icicle!
"Whatever. I've got to stop aliens from invading Jurassic Park, anyway."

KA-ZAP!

"We went into the transporter and all I got was this stupid yarmulke!"
Hans Zimmer has as much talent as any nondescript composer who writes nondescript scores for nondescript made-for-TV movies.
Yes, yes it is.
Yes, please. Let us instead discuss Stargate SG-1 and point out how it is a complete disgrace as a continuation of the original movie.
;-)

There is literally nothing about the EU that is useful. It's that kind of mindset that transformed Star Wars from a contained, well-told story taking place in a mysterious setting, into a meaningless serial filled with rubbish.

Seeing as the film was directed by the director of the current film it is pertinent.
Drawing attention to the Trekness of that situation over the JJness of it only pads the thread.
Just reference DE's post to see how quickly it becomes a Trekness over JJness situation.
Ah, well, I felt obligated to respond to a post I found acutely disingenuous. It is out of my system, now, and I am fully willing to drop the subject and return to the original discussion.
I just like running with the idea that midi-chlorians are Force-sucking parasites which alter the DNA of their hosts to make them incapable of independant existence.
They don't create the Force, they don't connect you to the Force, they just siphon the Force from you while making you dependant on them for your continued survival.
It allows me to fully accept what is revealed about midi-chlorians while still taking a huge dump on the concept, and that is so much more satisfying than flat-out disregarding them as non-canon.

Now look, Star Trek fans have no idea what they want.
Oh, no? I have a pretty good idea what I want from Star Trek: strong characters, exploration of alien worlds, philosophical discussions, and no conceited Roddenberry-styled utopianism or stupid technobabble.
The TOS films, TOS itself, and -- to a somewhat lesser extent -- DS9 did the job for me in most regards, TNG ... not so much, the TNG films not at all, and I've never seen Voyager or Enterprise as I became sick and tired of Berman & Braga's take on Trek while watching TNG and have absolutely no wish to ever see them.
Anyway, I can say with certainty that what I want from Trek doesn't include Kirk being promoted from cadet to captain, Kirk acting like a douchebag, swollen hands, black holes made out of red paint, the Enterprise nacelles looking like giant hair dryers, Khan becoming a white Brit, Sylar fucking Uhura, and all the other shit I've read about Abramstrek.
Ah, midi-chlorians ... Just like my sciatica, they keep coming back as an acute chronic pain in my side.
^^Yet another piece-of-shit movie to add to my anti-watchlist.

I'm going for RicRollie.
Wow, that's an excellent name. I'm never gonna give that one up.
Note to Frink: have RicRollie play "Never Gonna Give You Up" upon his introduction in The Ridiculousness Awakens.
Thank you all for reminding me yet again why I'll never ever watch anything from the Abramstrek Universe.
Note to self: place <sarcasm></sarcasm> tags arounds words/phrases/sentences/etc. you do not wish to convey seriously so as to avoid confusing the other posters.
