We should nuke this entire site from orbit.

I originally started this thread as a tongue-in-cheek post. I never believed that the romance between Anakin and Padme was remotely believable. I just wanted to see your reactions.

People have taken this thread way too seriously. . . .

I don’t believe you! It’s another trick!

Fixed that for me.

And lest we forget, an A Wing can take out a super Star Destroyer.

I’m honestly trying to forget that.

Don’t drink out of nerves.

I’m picturing a coffee cup made out of nerves. It’s pretty disgusting.

Your true identity wouldn’t happen to be David Cronenberg by any chance?

I personally don’t care, but Frink … *shrug*

Language Timothy!

Oh, he’s Asian, alright. I think Frink takes umbrage at you defaulting to describing him by his race.

Speaking of which does anybody know why ´´something something´´ was banned?

Obvious troll, was Obvious.

^I saw what you did there.

Pointless necrobump, this was, yeesss.

The first season of Supergirl has finally wrapped up. My final thoughts?

Melissa Benoist is good; David Harewood is good; the rest of the main cast is … passable. But the writing? The writing … how to phrase this …

I thought Smallville had sophomoric writing, but this show truly redefines the word. Even at its poorest, Smallville at least knew how to properly structure out a season-long storyarc and create a balance between the arc and the standalone episodes. The first season of Supergirl, however? It meanders about like a blind drunk in search of something – a something they keep forgotting about only to remember what it is fleetingly and only at the most inconvenient moments.

Before I forget, let me bring up this show’s particular take on the Superman family’s roster of supervillains. To be blunt, except for the Toyman, they were all weak or terrible interpretations. The Silver Banshee, in particular, was done godawful injustice; just think Venom from Spider-Man 3 with a sex change.

I’m not even going to talk about how Superman’s “cameos” in this series were handled. Just watch the last two episodes of this season and you’ll know everything you need to know.

Now, I don’t want to create the impression that I hate the show – I don’t. Like I said, I do really like Ms. Benoist as the titular character. However, the writing just isn’t up to her level – not at all – and it’s all very quite disappointing.

I’m hoping that come season 2, the writers will actually commit themselves to telling a good, clear, linear storyarc with good, properly-developed villains. If they don’t, neither will I; I will drop this series and they will have lost a viewer.

I’m not very good at expressing adoration, so I’ll just say this – I like and/or admire pretty much everyone here (minus certain jerks and trolls; they know who they are).

Am I a jerk?

I’m gonna say yes.

Nah. I was thinking of the posters whose usernames end in “scum” and “Id”, respectively.

Alright – I’ve definitely gotta read the Oz books.

Hey I changed my mind on one thing. Progress. Also I just think it’s fun having talking about Star Wars, I have no intention to change minds or make everybody hate TFA.

Thank goodness. We don’t need another imperialscum/Bosk/Smoking Lizard/MalaStrana around here.

Godspeed.

I don’t know if I have a knowledge of canon so much as a pressing need to turn canon inside out.

It’s worthy of a more disturbing thread.

Ed’s character was too obnoxious to live (or un-die, for that matter). Otherwise, it was a solid movie.
