This is why I love the internet. Until the above comment I'd never heard of the play that invented the term "Robot" - but used it not in the modern sense, but to indicate engineered biological constructs that look like humans. Given that, I'd agree that "Rossum" was almost certainly taken...
Well, Joss does seem to be going out of his way to cast each crew-member of Serenity as the big-bad villain in his other shows: Mal on Buffy, Zoe on Angel, Wash on Dollhouse. I just hope he stops before we see big-bad-scary Kaylee! (Though, River would work (and already has...))
Great news! Any update on whether/when the final episode of season one, "Epitaph One", might air in the US? Now that it's been renewed I assume this episode won't just be on the DVD and in Europe.
You're almost correct, but you're forgetting that this is the 21st century and we're dealing with Paramount. So.... 1) Theatrical re-release of extended cut around September 2009 2) BluRay release of ORIGINAL theatrical version in time for Christmas 2009 with cut scenes as extras. 3)...
I think you just wrote the plot of movie #3 or #4 (since we wouldn't want Romulans in the next movie again). "The crew of the Enterprise encounter the Romulan Empire for the first time and discover that they have technology from 100 years in the future!" The plot hole of what Nero did...
No, it's fun - that's why we do it. :D And for the record, I "go with it" AND I "analyze it to death" - then, just for fun, I re-write it in my head, cause I'm a Trekkie, damn it, not a mundane!
Yes, on Rura Penthe, and it will be on the DVD. I have to assume that that obvious large bite mark on Nero's head (that cut off the top of his ear) is from a Klingon targ.
Agreed. But for a film that wanted to create a fresh start, they've given themselves quite a few unecessary complications. -Can't go near Earth without dealing with temporal black hole. -Can't mention Spock Prime without getting immersed in messy paradox filled time-travel plots that take...
It might be a little hard NOT to use time travel with a temporal singularity sitting right near Earth's orbit. :D (Talk about plot holes...) (Well, not really a hole - just something that MUST be addressed in future movies that almost certainly won't be.)
You've brought up a point that is, the more I think about it, the main flaw in the movie. Spock should have been removed from this universe - he should have been the one to pilot his ship and followed the Narada back through the singularity (perhaps back to his own time). Leaving him in this...
Not my point. Obviously, Jim was conceived before the Narada came through, since that is his birthday - so he is the same person genetically. This point is driven home when Nimoy's Spock recognizes him. Spock and McCoy are older, so they are also genetically the same. Sulu, Uhura, Scott -...
Yes, but events that began before the the Kelvin was destroyed will still happen in this timeline. 1) The star will still go Nova destroying Romulus - unless Spock can stop it. (Why didn't Nero use the red matter to fix this?) 2) V'ger is still coming look'in for Momma. 3) A probe is still...
This is what's wrong with the science, not just of this movie, but of the fans as well.... (In my best nasally geek voice);) As everyone knows, a generation ship like you describe would gradually accelerate to near light speed, which per Einstein's theorys, would cause relative time aboard...
They absolutely do NOT need 1080P even if they only watch Bluray. With a 32" screen they could see 1080P only if they sit 6' from the screen, and that assumes 20/20 vision. See this viewing distance chart: Chart: 1080P Does Matter - CarltonBale.com At the the 10'-20' distances you mention...
As someone who knows nothing about this movie except for the trailer, I can say that it doesn't appear to spoil anything. It DOES make you go "WTF?!!"; but, I can't tell if I'm seeing spoilers or just images of things that are meant to mislead either the audience or the main character. It's a...
LOL You got through seasons 1 & 2 of STTNG and you still want more? Seriously though, you're in for a treat. Starting at season 3 it really gets good (though I assume you know that). You'll find that from this point on it is a MUCH better show. Enjoy!
I love it. It kind of feels like the last season of Angel where they worked at Wolfram & Hart. It took a few episodes to get into because the show purposely obscures who the good-guys are (or even if there are any). By now I know which characters I really like, but I still don't know if they're...
Maybe I can explain why some of us are concerned.
Did I enjoy LOTR? Absolutely - I even preferred his extended editions. Jackson did a great job adapting epic material and his few additions made up a small percentage of the finished film.
However, "The Hobbit" is not LOTR. It is a simpler...
I just thought of another show that I loved and felt withdrawal when it was over. Highlander: The Series File this one under the "Be Careful What You Wish For" heading. It was followed up by the terrible "Raven" series, a so-so movie "Highlander: End Game", and the final nail in the coffin...
Agreed - I love Firefly. Then again, at least it's easy (and cheap) to collect.... one and done. Those 7 year series can be a bit expensive. It's starting to look like his Dollhouse series may be just as economical - maybe even cheaper since it probably won't have a movie to go along with it. ;)
Absolutely.
I never minded the idea of a bridge film since that keeps "The Hobbit" as a fairly accurate adaptation. I could then watch the bridge film (or not) as I chose. But adding in all these parts of Gandalf/White Council/Necromancer/etc. into the Hobbit is a terrible idea. Frankly, it...
But there was more. Even if you didn't watch Angel (or just didn't consider it "more") there are still the "Season Eight" comic books. Since they are written by Josh Whedon along with the rest of the writing team from Buffy they really feel like a continuation - without the budget constraints or...
LOL I know what you mean. After Star Trek TNG went off the air I realized that there was ONE episode that I'd missed. Since this was pre-DVD I had to wait for it to air again. I didn't wind up catching that missed episode until about 5 years later. It was absolutely wonderful catching a "new"...
I've yet to see the movie and have been following this subtitle issue for the last week or so. Can someone please post a list of versions I can buy right now that have the correct english subtitles? I've heard some say that the one from Canada is OK. Is this true? Has anyone here actually...
It was mentioned that selling fantasies is their business, but not their purpose. So perhaps the purpose is to turn all of their clients (ie: the rich and powerful) into sleeper dolls. Two possibilities: 1) Obviously if the dollhouses controls all of their clients they control the world. They...
