Okay this is odd and I need help.
Time

I am using windows 7 64 bit and the strangest glitch is happening off and on.  One second my computer will be fine and the nest it will be rejecting all cookies and not letting me on any websites.  it is working right now but it could go at any second. it is odd because this is effecting all of my web browsers at the same time and it isn't just not letting me use cookies it is not letting me on any websites that use cookies.  I have tried all the normal fixes like clearing my cash and history and manually setting my browsers to accept cookies but none of that seems to be working and then all of the sudden for a few minutes the cookies will start working again for no reason and then they will stop for no reason.  I have scanned my computer with three pieces of anti virus software and removed five trojans but the problem is still here so I don't think that was it.  i think it's the settings deep in windows somewhere that are messed up.

If anyone can help please do,thanks.

What was going on in that scene????

You know there is a reason Patrick Steward is one of my favorite actors of all time and Picard is my favorite Sci-Fi captain of all time.

 Thanks that was pure awesome!

The best has to be Goldburge's out take because we all know that is what the Holideck would really be used for.

 As do Barclay and Quark. ;)

 I still remember the look on Odo's face when Jake Sisko went to play baseball on the holideck for the first time,he looked like Quark had just set the kid up with a hooker.  It didn't seem to cross his mind that there could be any other uses for the holideck.

You know if I had the money I would collect the Laser discs of everything Star Trek just for the cool LP style covers.

Every time I start to feel tempted to grumble about the price of boxsets or shipping times from Amazon I just remember that I used to have to go all the way to dover(45 minutes away)to special video store and pay $25 for a single episode of Star Trek on VHS.  Those were the days.  Compared to that getting an inter season on Bluray for $60 in a case that will fit on my shelf doesn't seem so bad:)

There is a difference between an adaption and a remake and what is more you should only do a remake if the original was lacking in some way and I have yet to see any proof that any director in Holywood can one up Hitchcock.

As for the remake of The man who knew too much,everyone makes at least one mistake if they work on movies as long as Hitchcock did and that was his. The original didn't have a thing wrong with it and it's pace was nice and tight. Remaking it just to use colour and big name stars was a bad idea and didn't work.

This idea that every movie should be a remake of an older movie and making new movies or adapting books that haven't been made into films before is some how wrong is what is killing Hollywood and is the biggest reason I rarely go to the movies any more.  Nothing creative or original gets released any more.

Yeah as a history buff I spotted that when the episode aired and I was 14.  Sometimes you just need to tell an actor no.  For one thing Sisko had played Baseball with stars who came from racist times and never had a problem,so it was out of character him to let it bother him,and on top of that the problem that he was complaining about(Blacks not being allowed to stay in the hotels or gamble in the casinos)wasn't even a problem at that point in time.  So it was a dumb preachy scene that came out of nowhere and had nothing to do with the over all plot of a comedy episode.  It just felt strange and out of place.

Going away? Post so here!
Time

After Saturday I will not be around any more not because I want to leave(This place and facebook are as close as I get to leaving the house these days)but because that is when my internet service expires.  My dad being out of work so long and the fact that I can't get a job due to my lack of a car(Something brought on by the lack of a job)mean that my family can't afford things like phone and internet service,in fact if we didn't keep chickens we wouldn't have any food what so ever. 

I just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't leaving because anyone did anything that upset me I just don't have a choice.  if I am lucky I may be back in two months.  See you then.

Same here. As much as I like some of these films, and the reboots are often improvements over the originals, or the previous reboot, or the seven previous reboots before that, I want to see something new. Why must all the superhero movies be based on the comics? Why can't we build on the story the comics established rather than reusing the comics' ideas and telling the same story over and over again with new actors? Invent some new superheros and villains already.

 Yeah for instance when I was a kid Spiderman and Marry Jane were a married couple I would love to see a movie that explored that but not in the way the comics did.  Like have Mary Jane be worried but also have her be able to pick Peter's spirits up when he is down. Maybe even give them a kid.  I assume having the child of a Spider mutant would be more dangerous then having a normal baby,why not show that?  Have Eddy Brock be an ex Boyfriend if you really want to go the soap opera route that the movies and the comics seem to have gone in recent years and then have him out to get Marry Jane as much as he is out to get Peter.  Show Peter having fun being Spiderman like there is a whole other side to his personality that he only lets out when the mask is on and instead of having him giving up on being Spiderman all the time because that was one of the most popular issues of the comics why not show him continuing because it is the only way to protect his family,so not only does he enjoy it but he has a good reason for going one.  Outside of The Incredibles we have yet to see a family of Superheros on the big screen and I think we have done as much with the high school drama as we can with Spiderman,do something new that no live action movie has done yet.  of course this is just an idea off of the top my head I am sure some people hate it and a real writer could come up with something better but still it's an example of something new they could do that wouldn't require a reboot and wouldn't follow the comic book. I think the time has come for super hero movies to start blazing their own trials instead of just remaking the same story lines for the 60s-80s over and over again.

Oh and right on about the new characters.  The fresh take on "Robin" in TDKR,the popularity of Harely Quinn and Agent Coulson,and the fact that the modern Mr.Freeze has nothing in common with the classic version proves that well written characters created in other mediums can make the cross over.  They have people with a huge amount of talent working on these movies,it's time to let them spread their wings and do something new and bring some fresh blood into these stories.

Yeah I guess it's just when given the choices between the two I would rather see what came before built on.  Over all I like the NuWho and Sg-1 approach where you don't keep everything exactly the same but the events still happened and you are still building on them. For all the changes SG-1 made the foundation was in the movie and they never said the movie didn't happen.

I don't know maybe I am just sick of reboots in general.  I was really hoping that they would bring in a new director and writer and our next Batman movie would be about Robin from TDKR but now that's not happening and then they had one Spiderman movie with problems and that was enough for them to go back and make us watch the origin story all over again,I guess I am just sick of it in general. It seems like origin stories do better at the box office so now everything is a reboot.  Maybe I am being unfair because most people seem to like these movies but I am just burnt out on reboots.

Well there is no way I will be watching any reboot that tries to undo SG-1 and Atlantis.  So the fans support the shows for more then a decade and the studio makes a bunch of money off of them and how does the studio thank these loyal fans? They say "That show was crap and you were an idiot for watching it and it never happened!",that's just great.

You know I am getting sick of reboots,why bother watching a story when you know in a few years the studio is going to say it never happened?  Whatever happened to seeing stories play out and building on what came before? Stop retelling the same stories over and over again and give us something new Hollywood.  Just because something has been gone for a while doesn't mean you have to start over,just look at Doctor Who,one of the reasons it is so popular right now is that it didn't start over and it built on what came before and it was off the air for 16 years and was the butt of jokes about bad cheap tv for most of that time and yet look at it now.

Still I guess if it keeps Emmerich away from Foundation that would be something.
