  1. Quit making this about ******* Boomers. We're all in this together & your take is just as bad as J5V's. By saying Boomer you imply it's anyone over 55's fault we have a pandemic. You don't like racism when Trump call it the Chinese Virus then quit making it about ageism. Your Boomer comment does not help.
  2. I'm not worried about any Democratic States going to a more open situation but the Republican ones like Texas, Tennessee & Florida. they'll be locked stepped with Trump all the way. What scares me is that a new & worse outbreak in the US in a month or so because of Trump's incompetence will further drag the US down the economic **** hole thereby guaranteeing a Depression world wide. Triggering a second & more deadly wave of the virus world wide as well. No way will it stay contained within their borders. We are *******.
  3. Agree. Things just become bogged down with a singular plot line the entire time. I still prefer 22 one hour long episodes where there can be different one hour stories within a storyline. In TNG, we were allowed to see how Data longed to be human & his attempts to be so. Especially the episode about time. Or Q giving Data the gift of laughter for a few short seconds. Worf was originally just a Klingon security officer but over the years we saw his character develop into a deeply religious Klingon who was very proud of both his Klingon & human roots. And we learned more about Klingon values than we ever did on any other Star Trek series. How Picard went from a lonely child hating grumpy old man in TNG's first season to a still gruff but kind hearted person who had a love of history & geology. The episode where an alien probe allowed him to have something he never had ; a wife & family. We see the loneliness he experienced when he out it wasn't real & his questioning of the choices he made in his life. I believe fans voted that episode the most popular ever of that series. None of these characters in today's Trek Universe would be allowed to grow & develop like that. You'd never see an episode that is solely concentrated on Picard being a husband & father on Discovery or the series Picard because it would take away from the 10 story arc. Yet it worked to perfection on a 22 one hour episodic sci fi series. In today's Trek World, there's no time for real character development. However, getting to know each character made Star Trek what it was going all the way back to Kirk in TOS. We saw the characters change in front of our eyes & we were invested in the different series because of it. I'll take a 22 episode season even with 4 or 5 duds over one that is 10 as the good outweighs the bad.
  4. I miss Babylon 5. You never see it in reruns anywhere. I agree BTW.
  5. Read my comments again. I didn't condone it. What's his playing with the BC Lions having anything to do with?
  6. Which is why one plot story 10 episodes long doesn't work any better than a 22 one hour episodic series with a single story in each. Fans here have said that the writing would be better as less episodes mean less fill but like Discovery that hasn't happened. The real story here is the T'al Shiar infiltrating Star Fleet but it is an afterthought. Instead. it's a mission to save Data's synthetic daughter Soji.
  7. No ,you never said that. You said no one should cheer for Joe Kapp. Why, what else did he do for you to have such a negative opinion?
  8. What did he do to you?
  9. Why? They both were great players. Both Hall Of Famers. Great competitors. Why would you wish bad things for them & their loved ones? I don't get the hate.
  10. I just don't get why the samurai guy is there? So far he hasn't done much. And they keep killing off beloved characters like Hugh for no reason.
  11. The last one is tomorrow.
  12. Ten episodes. Zip!! It's done. Enjoyed it & I'm sure we'll see Season 2 sometime before 2023.
  13. Zontar must be in self isolation.
  14. Cuthbert didn't say Beagle. He said Regal.
  15. Seriously?
  16. Trump's probably not losing any sleep over it. I doubt if he even cares.
  17. Boring. Rob Gronkowski??
  18. Why do the Liberals need special powers to raise taxes? This makes no sense. Trudeau does have a minority government.
  19. Thanks johnzo. They live in Auburn, WA.
  20. I wonder how the people of London felt in WW2 when the blitz was going on? People are supposed to sleep not stay up all night because of the barrage from the sky. We Canadians have had it so easy. The ONE TIME we are asked to sacrifice we ***** about not being able to go outside. The selfishness of people today is beyond words.
  21. My son texted my wife. The State of Washington is under a stay at home order as of almost an hour ago. Stay safe, Johnzo. I've been laid off. No school. No school bus drivers. The company I work for is trying to get us a little bit more pay to the end of March. But some of the school boards may not want to pay us.
  22. Or he does a better job. In a crisis, People do step up. Partisans gonna be partisans.
  23. The Republicans in the Senate are blaming the Democrats & the Democrats are blaming the Republicans for the delay of the Covid 19 Aid Bill in Washington. Usually, this falls on the leadership in the White House to compromise & bring both sides together for the good of America in times of trouble. Donny & his band of clowns have no sense of how to do that led by the biggest clown of them all in Mitch McConnell. They all have to wear any failures like a Red Badge Of Courage. I'm hopeful Americans will remember come November.
