Remember you can love the art but hate the artist.

I love Ron Perlman. He's the best Hellboy and he's awesome in pretty much anything he touches. But in real life he's a shit lib with serious brain damage from too many years of terminal TDS.

I can still enjoy the movies he's in because I can separate the art from the artist. Watching his movies is not an endorsement of him the person in the end.

It's also possible a lot of the smaller actors have no choice but to toe the company line. Big name actors were getting cancelled so the small fry would stand no chance so they would kinda have to be vocal in their support of "current thing". I try to give them some slack because in the end they're just some dude who plays pretend for money so what do I care what their personal thoughts are on anything?
 
I'm watching TNG as my first Star Trek since people online say it's the best one. Must say it's a fun experience since when I get the chance to watch it with my old man who's a big Trekkie he always turns it into Mystery Science Theater. Examples include:

Ad-libbing that Riker talks shit about everyone else and is a massive horndog
Constantly repeating "Numbah One"
Lore drops from the original series since he prefers that one and constantly talks shit about Picard sucking compared to Kirk

Best one is really personal taste up till Voyager. I'm a DS9 fan myself but it's all pretty good. Most of the lows come in the early seasons for the old series then they get off their feet running.

I would like a good star trek to come out before I die but think strange new worlds will be the best I get. It isnt awful but it isnt something I see myself watching twice.
 
Looking at it again, it's not as terrible as my first impressions were but it doesn't look great. It's like the early Star Wars sets where they hadn't really figured out how to translate the design and building techniques. I assume it'll just be bought by people because Star Trek,

A Runabout would probably translate to a decent Lego set.
What really bothers me (besides the retarded pricing) is the lack of smooth plates for the top of the saucer section, I think the typical lego pegs look incredibly bad there.
 
tbh I like that look
I respect "make a good model out of it with lego" but there's something to be said for it looking like lego
I'm nostalgic for it myself, I'm just saying that for the price tag these kinds of boutique sets really shouldn't have pegs sticking out. It's a display piece, not a play piece.

Chris Evans tried, in a shitlib way, to approach the "other side" and listen to what they have to say and he was bullied hard on social media. I think he gave up.

Of course, he's not suffering cancelation because he's Captain America and Marvel is desperate. But had he gone for it, he could have ended up with the bad press Chris Pratt has, being accused of things he didn't do and with a reputation of being a bigot. They still watch his movies, but they also talk negatively about him due to morons like Page spreading fake news. Same for Rowling. She doesn't mind, but she's had people harassing her even at her house.

I get why they all line up to the official political opinion, tbh. I don't support them, but I understand nobody wants, aside from being blacklisted by your industry, being harassed by internet idiots all day long.

I think the studs were left there to give the saucer a bit of texture. The Enterprise D is covered with panels and lights, things that are hard to evoke with the scale and materials we're talking about.

I mean they could use printing.

Then again LEGO is so cheap they used fucking stickers on the 1000$ death star hockey puck, so that's a pipe dream these days.
 
Ooh, this is gonna be good.
First time anybody said that in relation to Section 31
Remember when he tried to act like a tough badass telling the world he pissed all over his hands to own a fellow smallhat?
Oh, I thought that was an edit or copypasta or something but I just googled it and uh well, I'm stuck between:

1. Nobody would ever do that: it must be made up
2. Nobody would make something like that up: it must be real

Nobody said shit when it mattered. Gabriel Byrne was asked about Spacey and he’s like, it was kind of joke. Acting is the only profession where sexual assault is treated like office pranks.

Weinstein only went to jail because his dick turned black. His body ratted him out. His penis was turning into soup. Spacey probably would’ve survived too if he wasn’t such a fucking weirdo. He sounded like a strawman character in a Christian movie.
Does this include Star Trek: Nemesis?
If you ever want to disprove that old line about how “there are no small parts"...

Hardy and Perlman as the heavies feels like a joke. Ron is coming off the otherwise excellent Blade II and Nemesis is desperate to convince you that this guy matters, hence the completely pointless mind-rape of Troi. Hardy is playing a Khan cover band.

Watching Nemesis back-to-back with the earlier movies is like watching empire decay, going from Montalban, Lloyd, and Plummer to these two Rollerball rejects.

It looks like Thomas Jane will play McCoy in Strange New Worlds.
They really are trying to remake the Original Series...
