And conversely those of us hated it will hate this one too?


I would say so as well. They're continuing an alternate timeline, with some similarities and some differences.

You can thank me for keeping your expectations in check.
What did you like most?

Mostly that they were pursuing the alternate timeline, while making changes here and there to make it a bit more timely (the idea of launching the torpedoes and killing Harrison w/o a trial drawing similarities to our current activity of killing US citizens classified as "enemy combatants", w/o a trial). Also, the reveal of Khan was surprisingly kept under wraps pretty well, despite wide speculation. Kirk throwing the rules out the window is always fun to watch, and a corrupt Federation made a good enemy to play against that.

I will say the ending felt like JJ was potentially ending his involvement (or at least a good jumping off point). He's established everything, and what Paramount decides to do next is kind of up to them...

Also (meant to send this in and forgot), I read an interesting article yesterday about why we don't have a new Trek show on the air yet, and how Abrams might have had larger plans for Trek that he ultimately wasn't allowed to do, due to the fine folks at CBS. It makes you wonder what might have been, similar to the role Whedon now has over at Marvel...

People said the same thing about the DS and 3DS and both are doing very well now.

I picked up a 3ds a few weeks ago, and am enjoying the hell out of it...

And thus I will continue to torrent whatever I wish to see from them. Which isn't all that much.


I just wait for everything to come out on disc/streaming, but yeah...it's like they don't get it...


And you expect to get it for free? They are not a broadcast network. They charge subscription fees. They are probably just as tied up as ESPN and HBO when it comes to streaming content on the internet due to existing contracts. ESPN and HBO both offer free streaming to existing subscribers.


No, I never said free. People don't want cable - they want ala carte. Something that terrifies the shit out of cable, since it removes them from the equation.

Not directed at you personally, but I don't give a fuck about their contracts. If they want my money, they have to play my way. Or I'll keep doing what I've done for the last 5+ years and stream or buy shit what it comes out on disc.



I'm pretty sure they don't give a shit about you


They don't give a shit that people are cutting the cord? Really?

Glad this worked out! Seemed a little slow in the middle (as most KS do), but seemed to rally in the last few days...

Rift support is a bonus - while I'd initially been skeptical, I might just grab once the final non-dev versions are available.

That's the reason there's been no Blu-Ray release of the series. Someone somewhere at some point erased the files with all the CG models. The live footage was recorded on film so it can be converted to Blu-Ray quality no problem (they even filmed it in widescreen for future proofing). But the CG stuff was only recorded at DVD spec as they thought they could re-render it later on in higher def when technology advances made it cheaper. Now they'd have to redo everything from scratch and the studios don't want to bankroll that.

And yes it blows.


Wow, hadn't heard that. Crazy...was this the same person who magically burned all the original trilogy negatives for George Lucas?

I admit I sometimes eat stuff I probably shouldn't, but I also have 200-300 calories b-fasts and 250-400 calorie dinners most days, so I'd like to think it evens out.


srsly, 400 calories? that's not even like 1 fry. that's like, the grease you could wring out of said fry. how do you survive on that? i'm pretty sure the FDA recommends 2000-2200 cals/day as healthy.

Maybe I'm not being clear - that's two of my three meals, which gives me slightly more wiggle room at lunch. But fries are out, as is most pop (coke zero is actually semi-decent, better than diet coke).

I'm 6' and weigh about 230, and was close to 260 a year ago. I'd still like to drop another 30, or get as low as I can to 200. Part of it is a medication I have to take that is known to kill your metabolism. But in the last few weeks, I've been trying to half it (so far, no problems, fingers crossed), so I'm hoping that helps.

But breakfast and dinners are usually one of [url=www.amazon.com/Clif-Bar-Energy-Crunchy-2-4-Ounce/dp/B001G7RDRO]these[/url] (link busted, sorry) and either an orange (breakfast) or a fruit bar or two (dinner). It helps that they're extremely tasty, and surprisingly filling...

Fast food place I avoid -- Long John Silver's. Never eaten at one, and at this point I'd just rather keep my streak going...

They used to have really good chicken in the 80s-90s...since being acquired by YUM, they've gone downhill quite a bit, and everything is so greasy now... (although it looks like YUM sold them off in the last few years) Now what they offer is your typical "compressed/shaped meat" which isn't great.

Having said that, now I have LJS on the brain...
