Would someone, literally anyone, attempting to fool people into seeing midichlorians as a cool concept count as apologizing?

Yes.

Personally I think James was trying to make the best out of the poor material he was given rather than trying to purposefully deceive people into thinking the idea was good in it’s original form. But that’s just me.

I’ve never read any PT era EU books, so I don’t actually know what Luceno did. However, he should’ve known that any attempt to make meaty-chlorines a “cool concept” is futile.

All Things Star Trek

The video’s getting pretty popular online. My brother (a non-Trekkie and fan of that guy’s videos) told me about it and told me to watch it… and eventually told me to calm down when it sent me into a lengthy, angry rant. “It’s just a theory man, why are you so mad?”

EDIT: well, it was getting popular. Seems like fewer and fewer tweets now are saying “I liked a YouTube video…” when I search Star Trek. I’m glad it’s dying quickly.

TFA might be a better film than ROTJ, but my cognitive bias will deny that fact. Maybe Episode VIII will be better than both films, Episode IX definitely not.

How could you possibly already be making a judgment on IX lol

Have you seen Jurassic World? Disney hired Trevorrow not because of talent, but money.

I didn’t think Jurassic World was that bad. Not good, mind you, but to preemptively dislike a film he’s directing just because he made a sub-par Jurassic Park movie (aka any JP movie after the first) is silly.

I just meant you can shoot someone in the head and it’s PG-13, but show a penis for one second and it’s NC-17.

You can simulate shooting someone in the head. It isn’t real. The penis is.
Not saying I agree with the ratings boards, but I don’t like the idea that simulated violence = the real thing.

jedit- THE PENIS IS REAL! NEVER FORGET!

Watchmen is R for (among other things) nudity, yet much of the nudity is CGI.

What?

I’ve never seen Watchmen. Why is there CGI nudity?

Dr Manhattan in his blue energy form is completely nude for a few scenes.

I believe he’s naked in the comics too?

That’s true, but the genitals are shown far less often in the comics IIRC (maybe two or three times total in the whole series).
