I think that is all of them. Boy it didn't cross my mind how many of these things I had until I had to list them.

If only,if only.

Well don't get me wrong they came up with a good episode once in a while but between Janeway and the fact that any danger never lasted more then two episodes and the terrorists acting like normal starfleet members of the crew this one just fails for me. I felt like Enterprise started to get it's act together in season three but I never got that same feeling with Voyager.  Plus I thought the idea of a Star Trek prequel was pretty dumb and didn't have a lot of places to go. Also it was clearly done just to cash in on the Star Wars prequels,so I wasn't expecting much from Enterprise. Voyager on the other hand had the best idea for any Star Trek spin off and if they had followed through it would have been great,but they didn't so Voyager has always felt kind of soul crushing to me. Like there was a show I would love somewhere in there but it fell apart somewhere along the way.

Yeah that is what killed Voyager for me. I could have put up with some of the stupid stuff but when a show seems to forget what it's own premise is from week to week,then it loses me.  They never ran out of shuttles,or people,and no matter what went wrong it was always fixed next week. For a show that was supposed to be about being out on the edge and not having any back up they sure did play it safe.  That is just sad. Voyager could have been the best Star Trek series and instead it is the only one I can not stand. Yes you read that right. There are parts of Enterprise that I like but Voyager's forgetfulness of it's own basic premise pushes it over the top for me.

If it were not for Holo Doc I don't think I could have stuck with it for seven years.

Yeah Ace in the hole is one of those films that grips you from the first second and doesn't let go.  If I start watching it I can't look away until the last frame.  It,A face in the Crowd,and Network are tied as my favorite films that look at the media and the way we react to it.  The movie is amazing and I find new reasons to love it every time I watch it.

It is one of the most intense films ever made and there isn't a single shot fired and only one life is at stake.  That is good film making.

I just started watching SF Debris' reviews of Star Trek Voyager this weekend and all I can say is I love his take on Captain Janeway.

"Then we will just sweep out the shuttle and send in the next poor bastard!"

:)

Another great poster!

I am watching the episode right now and as a big Person of Interest fan I am really excited by the guest star I just spotted.

I will say this for those things. The idea that humans evolved into them makes me laugh but other then that they do look pretty amazing. If they had just been some random alien creature of the week i don't think anyone would be laughing at them. My hat goes off to the special effects people who didn't let the fact that it was a bad story stop them from doing something that I think looks pretty impressive on a TV show budget.

As someone who bakes and cooks a lot I will just say that if you make a cake right without over doing the sugar(Like most store bought cakes and mixes)then it is great all on it's own and the icing is just that icing and it is not needed.  I am pretty sure that is where the phrase comes from.

I just saw Thor (2011) for the first time and it's really good.

Bitter sweet to catch Nat Portman being very yes in this sort of movie. It just goes to show that the right script and the right director can really make a difference.

Good heavens they really didn't skimp on materials building that Chris Hemsworth chap did they?

Nice to catch the JMS cameo.

 Yeah it was nice to see her in a good role.  Thor is my favorite of the single Marvel movies because it has a special feeling of fun and magic to me. I don't expect everyone to agree with me as it is all a matter of taste but for me it just has this feel that I just like.

Oh and I didn't know he had worked on it but i stood up in theater and cheered when I saw JMS appear on screen and then everyone looked at me like I was a loon.

Sounds like the sort of thing that isn't worth paying money to see.  Maybe if movie tickets still only cost $5 like they did when i was a kid I would go to see it but now adays when they cost $12 just doesn't seem like having a good action scene or two and being so bad it is good is worth the money.  To me that is what it keeps coming down to. TAS is exactly the type of movie I would have taken a chance on when I was a kid but with the price of movie tickets where they are now there is no chance I will see it in theaters after all of the reviews and feedback I have heard and read.

Yeah, when Agent Sitwell is spilling the beans on the rooftop, he mentions "Steven Strange".

Marvel is doing a cool thing with CafePress where you can get a SHIELD ID card for $1.50 shipping.

It seems to be getting hit pretty hard, I finally got it to load and upload my picture this afternoon.

 Wow,I need one of those!

I know I may be alone in this(In fact I am pretty sure I am)but I like the episode The Magnificent Farangi.  Seeing those guys try to step up and be the heroes for an episode always puts a smile on my face and the bit where they go all Weekend at Bernies is just great if you ask me.

I know this episodes isn't most people's cup of tea but I love it.

Really?  I must have missed that.

Well there is something to look for when I watch it on Bluray.  Here is hoping the Dr.Strange movie happens.

Yeah it used to be that way here but my state is so small that there is only one theater in my county.  It used to be well managed but since Caremike's took over it's gotten more dirty,there are long adds in front of the movies,the screen sometimes has smudges on it,and the chairs get broken and go months between repairs.

I wish we had a nice local theater to attend.  Hollywood wants to know why they are taking a hit at the box office? It's because movie tickets now cost more then half the price of a Bluray disc and going to the theater isn't fun any more. Lower the price and improve the quality of the theaters and I would go to more movies. Until then I will wait for them to turn up in Redbox where I pay a flat rate and can watch them more then once in the comfort of my living room with as many people as I want.

I think The Sun Makers is hugely under rated.  It's up there with my favorite Robert Holmes stories and I think it makes the best use of K9 of any of the stories.

I love the way the rebels are not shown as being perfect and being rather blood thirsty. I am not sure The Doctor would have worked with them if he had been given a choice but he does try to temper them a bit. This adds a level of complexity.

Oh and I think you can tell this story was written by someone who was fighting with the tax people over how much he owed them in taxes when he wrote it.

In these cases I always just wait and rent the DvD for a $1 at red box.  Theaters are not nice enough any more that going to them is an event in and of it's self so unless I have been waiting to see a movie $12 is a little steep for seeing it once.

Honestly mate your right not bothering with it, my 14 year old son tried to advise me not to go, now hes telling me 'I told you it would be crap'

J

 Good night!  Well thank him for me because now there is no chance.  if a 14 year old didn't like it there is no way they are getting my $12.  I'll save it for Godzilla. Now there is a movie I am looking forward to.

I wish Marvel could get a hold of the rights to Spiderman and the Fantastic Four and but them in the MCU,because I would love to see what they would do with them there. 

 I wish they would too, just saw The Amazing Spider-man 2 and it wasn't so amazing, I have to say it was probably worse than the first one.

The movie was a cringe-fest

Sky is re-running the Sam Raimi films (which I enjoyed, apart from 3 at the time), and they now are not that great, I think its the winning formula of how these movies should be made by Marvel studios thats effecting my judgement.

J

 Yeah I didn't really care for TAS. I wanted to like it but it was just trying way too hard to be Spiderman Begins.  Also Peter went out of his way to show way too many people he was Spiderman,I have to wonder what the point of the mask even is.  I mean everyone who goes to his school must know he is Spiderman.

I can still watch the first two Rami movies because I think he got the tone right,they were set in a cheesy world so i can over look the things that didn't make perfect sense. You lose that once you go the BB route and make everything serous,set it in the real world,and add so much brooding.  Now you can go to far the other way too and you end up with Spiderman 3 and Batman and Robin. I have no problem with people liking the new Spiderman movies but the first one was not my cup of tea and I don't plan on seeing the second one any time soon.  I may rent it at some point but I don't think I will go out of my way to see it.

Yeah time travel can really screw with your life and I wouldn't have it any other way.  That's what makes the show so much fun.

Yeah not sure if I see the logic in that.  Maybe we should ask Mr.Spock if he can find it because it seems to be missing.

I hope you are right because I would like to be able to read Spiderman comics again without feeling sad and facepalming.

You are still reading Spiderman comics?  You are a braver man then I.  I gave up after that One More day and civil war garbage.

 I dunno how old you are or how long you were a reader of Spider-man, but I've been reading long enough to have been through worse than One More Day.

Clone saga anyone?
"No, thanks."
Just checking.

I never give up on characters I like. When dealing with comics, especially ones that have been around for as long as Spider-Man, I look at the big picture rather than each individual story. There are probably more periods of Spider-Man that I hate than periods I like, but the overall story and character of Spider-Man is something I love.

 I was around for that but Spiderman selling his marriage to the devil was the last straw. For me Peter Paker and Mary Jane had always been married and for the editors to just say that relationship didn't matter and to undo it in such a stupid way was too big of an insult for me to take.  It's like they were saying "Hey this relationship that you have cared about for as long as you could read,it doesn't matter and you were an idiot to be invested in it."  All those times when the worst happened and we heard Peter say something along the lines of "Well at least I still have Mary Jane" undone.  it was so stupid because it was hamfisted and I bet if he had asked Aunt May she would have never let him make that deal.

The Clone Saga I could get through because the characters and their relationships stayed intact but after One more day none of those mattered and I knew that any second magic could just come out of nowhere and change everything and that the basic motivations of the characters and what they cared about could change on a dime. So for me there was no reason to stick around. i couldn't invest in the stories because there would be no logic to them and I couldn't invest in the characters and their relationships because I knew all of those would be undo each time an editor wanted a big event. Really I could go on for hours and hours about why One more day killed Spiderman for me and got me to stop reading the comics after 15 years but I really don't want to go into a long debate.   If anyone one is interested in my point of view on One more day and why it is my most hated story in all of fiction I will leave a link to Linkara's review here.  He says most of what I would say.  I will just add this Spiderman comics are one of the first things I ever read as a kid and Peter Parker and Mary Jane's relationship was the only one I ever got invested in. Also I have always liked seeing characters age and deal with the new issues that come from that rather then staying stuck in place. Also they undid Spidergirl and I think that was an awful thing to do to her fans.  To me it just showed that all the editors care about is their own grimdark story telling that they think is adult and they don't care about the characters at all. So I stopped reading. Again I don't want to get into a debate about this because to this day thinking about this makes me so depressed and nothing anyone can say will ever change my mind.  This is something that literally hurts my feelings that is how attached I was to these characters so even if you can come up with some logical reason why I should move passed it that will not change my mind because the emotional pain over rules that. To me that does way more damage then a storyline that went on for too long and had some stupid twists in it. At the end of the day the characters weren't damaged beyond repair at the end of the Clone Saga,but they were in One More day and One more day didn't have a single moment I liked in it. Clone Saga was stupid but it still had some good character moments and action scenes and I think the writers were trying to do the right thing for the characters even if they did drop the ball, I don't feel that way about One more day.

Wow I went on way longer then I intended to,sorry.

Any way if you want to understand how i feel here is the link.

Yeah i really hope Dr.Strange happens in some form.  I would love to see how that would shake up the universe.  Oh and I have never read the comics but I can't wait for GOTG after seeing that trailer.

Shaka! When the walls fell.
