    I'll just put it this way:

    I liked Captain Sisko more than Commander Taylor.
    I liked Odo more than Jim Shannon.
    I liked Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax more than Dr. Elisabeth Shannon.
    I liked Jake Sisko more than Josh Shannon.
    I liked Doctor Bashir more than Dr. Malcolm Wallace.
    I liked Major Kira more than Lt. Alicia Washington.
    I liked Garak more than Mira.
    I liked Quark more than Boylan.

    And so on...
    They could in theory just kill the entire cast off and recast it and change directions. I think it would be a waste not do that with all the exposition out of the way.
  2. My opinion is that it's too dramatic and not focused or epic enough which is really kinda sad cuz there are a lot of things that could be epic. Dystopian future, pioneering past, time travel...the two interacting with each other...Dinosaurs... And yet we're getting this wild west teen drama CSI want-to-be conspiratorial drama crap that isn't really anything more than static that if i miss it I don't care, but it's something to waste an hour on.
  3. It's the 1st day so you guys should post your fist post! And it should be better than mine >.>

    Are you bovvered?

    So let's see now, based on what I saw in the trailer:

    1. Agent K in the present tells J that there are things he doesn't need to know.
    2. The present seems to have altered so that only J remembers K.
    3. J goes back and meets young K and the early incarnation of MIB.

    Speculation: K of the present knew of the time shift/paradox due to his meeting J when he was younger but had to give the "things you don't need to know" line to J because he couldn't tell him for fear of making an even worse time paradox.

    J is now in the past and MIB doesn't appear to be as tech sophisticated as they are in the future....perhaps a technological grandfather paradox in that J will introduce some future tech to MIB that they will begin to utilize, such as the Neuralyzer perhaps.
    You missed the importance of the lines...
    "There are things out there you don't need to know."
    "That's not the lie you told me when you recruited me."
    "I promised you the secrets of the universe. Nothing more."
    "Well what other secrets are there?"

    Then we go to explosions scenes and then J walking in looking for K and then the Time Jump scene

    Time travel is obviously a secret within the universe...

    So what obviously happens is that K goes dimension hopping, J somehow follows getting dumped in a universe where K died years ago. J then goes back to the past where past-K-2 works with J and learns about multiple universes and J ultimately gets home.

    I predict K or J will be the villain ultimately...

    My question however is what will the crazy brain twist at the end for the tag be as the end has always been "You still don't get it" and then the camera zooms out revealing the a gag in the movie is applicable to them as well... the first time was that the Galaxy which we experience as marble for the entire we're a marble on another cosmic level... the second time was the stuck in the locker and then K busts open a door and reveals they're stuck in a locker. So I wonder what the brain bender thing will be.
  7. it occurs to me that I said the 14th in the OP, yet i said 24 hours from the time of that last post which make it the 13th... but since I don't really care so much about time and such I'm just gonna go ahead and post this picture now...

    I haven't drawn in like 8 years now, and my scanner is buried... and didn't want to take up a lot of time for something i knew wouldn't turn out great regardless of how long i took so... I present

    Manticore and the Partridge...

  8. Games that might be good...

    Arkham City
    Skyrim
    Skyward Sword

    However you might want to get him something "relating" to Diablo III like if he really wants it maybe get him a custom DIII keyboard or something like that...

    Who do you think you are talking to? Durakken is well recognized by the internet as insane!
  10. So... 24 hours till the first day is upon us. You all better post something cool...or else!
  11. I think we should start giving synopsis of some of these, but make some of them up and see if freitag can figure out which are made up and which are the real plots ^.^

    Oh my... someone didn't say something about a person that most people didn't know about.

    If you want to honor and respect people, dead or alive, making them out to be more than they were is not the way. It's disrespectful to the person that they are taking credit away from and it's disrespectful to the person you are giving it to because you are saying "you aren't good enough on your own merits."

    If you want to pay respect to someone pay respect to them and not some ******** person that never existed because they are a fabrication of false praise. A person is both their failings and their successes.

    RIP, Mr. Robinson. De mortuis nihil nisi bonum.
    Great. didn't say anything about that now did I?

    I find it more disrespectful to not remember someone accurately. And not to mention that their lies is disrespectful to those who actually should be remembered for that stuff.

    But that's besides the point because there is no reason to "respect" the dead. They're dead.

    Of course she would be... Amy is the Doctor's Mother-in-Law.

  18. >.> I'm not impressed with them trying to make more of him than he was.

    "I came up with the name for Robin" Uhhh dude your name is Robinson... it doesn't take a genius to see that if you did it was more like "Why not name it after me?!" lame

    "I played a role in the creation of Joker" Ummm dude it's well known that Joker was nearly completely lifted from "The man who laughs" so no you really didn't

    Just saying...

    Here's a question... It may seem kinda rude, but it's not meant as such... It seems you are lacking in a lot of cultural knowledge and this tends to indicate someone who doesn't associate with people and definitely not a group that would be considered nerds/geeks... Why would ever go for the position of Moderator? As I would argue that someone that doesn't have an understanding of such things might not be a good choice for that position...

    Again, not trying to be rude... just curious >.>
