@RandomChance @Nicnac @Ford_Thundercougarfalconbird Makes sense actually. There's no way anyone on the Enterprise can actually do anything with all the lights shining in their eyes.

@arivalscientist @PCabezuelo @Gallen_Dugall Yeah but the scripts were often less entertaining then John de Lancie's joy at being omnipotent

@PCabezuelo @Gallen_Dugall @arivalscientist I do believe there was a sign in the ST:TNG writer's room that said, "In Case Of Emergency......Write A Q Story"

@PCabezuelo @Gallen_Dugall @arivalscientist Sure we could mention the Planet of the African Stereotypes, either way my position that they were lazy hack writers stands. They had some good episodes the first few seasons too, and the latter seasons also had bad episodes, I think more than anything else it was the whole "X is my friend and want's to be a Y in the industry so I'll give them job Z for which they are clearly unqualified" cronyism prevalent throughout LA

@Gallen_Dugall @arivalscientist I don't buy that. I think that's just an excuse to cover up their bad writing. Seriously, the first two seasons of TNG had some bad writing across the board, and not just for Wesley.

@Someguy @Gallen_Dugall @arivalscientist which is what good writers do

@Gallen_Dugall @arivalscientist Well no one seems to know what to do with kid characters.  They either have to be screwing up or saving the day.  They really just needed to be kids.  

@arivalscientist @Gallen_Dugall  The fact that the shows writers openly admit that they sabotaged the character of Wesley because they didn't want to write "kids" always pisses me off - not very professional and therefore I call them lazy hack writers based on their own words.

@Someguy I remember that people didn't like Nero in the last one - which was to date the most psychologically accurate portrayal of a Romulan to date - someone whose emotional traumas never damped with the passing of time.

Anyway Cumberbatch said that his villain had reasonable goals, which always makes for a great villain.

Like when the officers tried to get the crew to eat hotdogs three meals a day for a month in order to save money after the captain  wrecked the ships van

@Canadian.Scott Well I would forget that Nero was the villain in the last movie so hopefully this one will not get lost in ship's inner conflict like the last one did.  

Well inevitably this character will be given a comparison to other Star Trek characters regardless if it is original or not.

Gargoyles was a TNG spinoff, right?

That will be a lot harder for Kirk to get out in an anguished scream.
