I love how in reality I'm defending imperfect entertainment, but people are reading so little of what I say they're talking about how I want perfection.

Can't talk to that. Don't know what episode you're referring to and I was never a fan of DS9. I will say that many Star Trek episodes go over board with the "prime directive". Course then, what's the point of a law, especially a "prime" or supreme law (like America's constitution) if you don't...

Really I'm just looking at flawed entertainment and asking if it still serves a purpose. To Harry Potter, actually I don't like that series, but I'll give this a shot. Harry is shown living in a flawed system and flawed world. However he saves his friends and that world anyway because it's the...

Probably Josh or Chris. You could have as asked me as a kid and it would have been Sam. What can I say, I never have been a very exotic person. I just liked those names because a couple people I liked have them or because a couple characters I liked on TV had them.

To the rest of what you said, thank you for reading all of what I said, instead of just trying to find something to react to. I'm a pragmatist, not a negativist, thanks for noticing the difference. Next, it's hard to argue for "junk entertainment" without having examples so I'll just look at...

Actually I was saying that all entertainment has flaws, but I was asking if it all still seems to have a point anyway. Didn't I say I LIKED Bleach? Pretty hard to say a fan of that show could be much of a critic of underdog shows.

Actually I'll be 30 Tuesday friend. I love how whenever someone points out the flaw in thinking one person can save the world, everyone is quick to assume that person is being a negativist, rather than just a pragmatist. Sorry, the Waynes Brothers are never going to come along and write a song...

I?ve seen many critics try to tell us what we do or don?t need from a movie or a show. Well, watching the Bleach series, a series known for its stupidity and not giving its audience what it ?needs?, I?ve actually started to wonder about something. I watch Bleach because it is a relentless...

I guess if you remove Diana from her women only island, miraculously better off than the rest of the world for that very reason (when the rules of procreation say a single gender nation would go extinct in a generation if that long, but whatever) and put her in a jumpsuit fitted like superman or...

I also loved Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys! Monkeys from earth spontaneously gain intelligence and now fight battles in space. They all had interesting personalities and a good story going, all of it tongue in cheek, but still pretty interesting.

To a degree that's true. But I find it easier to discuss Anne Coulter than Wonder Woman, and Anne isn't exactly a controversy free figure. With the right, "the terrorists" were the figure that could not be discussed, intelligently anyway. With the left, Obama, their freaking presidential...

I'm sure it's come up before, but whatever. What are some cartoons you all remember from your youths, or that you just discovered, that you wish had gotten remembered by history? Me? Here's a few: Freakazoid! Possibly the most powerful superhero alive, basically because he has the powers...

Ever feel like there are some things that are meant to divide people along certain lines? Essentially they're created purposefully to create a George Bush style, with us or against us mentality? I find these things obnoxious because they're often pretty big deals, like even cultural icons, and...

No, Wonder Woman did not say "screw that noise" and bring the boys anyway, she told them not to come. I kinda give the movie a pass because, you're right on that one, she did say it was dumb. And yes, to those about to point it out, I get that the whole idea probably was to say "See, you...

"Who would ever want to watch a movie on a device the size of a cell phone?" iPhone. "Who would ever want a touch screen phone, you'll end up butt dialing people because it won't know the difference between your hind quarters and your finger." Ironically, that's actually a thing now. Still...
