    Has there been a Star Trek 2 spoiler posted that can be summed up as anything other than "we don't know what Star Trek 2 will be?" #startrek

    @tbrunner: Exactly, what I was thinking the second time I saw that the writers had an interview where they basically said, "We have nothing!" Now it's, "Allegory, allegory, Allegory!"

    Why do they even bother having interviews? If anything, it is just starting to piss me off. #startrek

    I choose to believe that Supernatural episode will result in Sam and Dean creating a legion of fangirls to battle against the forces of evil(and good) and save the world. They're the only ones scary enough to take on the demons/angels, anyway. #startrek

    Please no Wincest LARPing. I like my eyes and I don't want to have to throw bleach on them.

    And I'm trying to come up with an alternative to Star Trek II and starting to feel that it would actually be one of the less cheesy options. #startrek

    After "Air", "Darkness", "Light" and "Water", the season finale will be "Hot Dogs" - when the crew runs out of food and the ship has a hankerin' for foot longs. #startrek

    @NotChoinski: And it would be followed up with an episode called Basic Plumbing.

    I think I'm done with this show. I didn't even watch Friday's episode and the preview for the next does not look promising.

    I'm over the whole 'Oh no we don't have air we're doomed...wait the ship saved us! Oh no we don't have energy we're doomed...wait the ship saved us! Oh no we don't have water we're doomed...' formula.

    It might be (somewhat) realistic and an episode or two around it is fine, but it is painful to have it stretched out for this many episodes in lieu of, oh I don't know, actually getting a real plot. #startrek

    Here's my take on Smallville. The show lost its momentum a number of seasons ago and, so, now it's merely a vehicle to show other DC heroes, the idea being that they're looking for signs that the audience really likes one of them. When that helps, they'll start making a spin-off series based on that hero and bury Smallville. #startrek

    Regarding the Prisoner remake ... I do hope this is not a huge disaster, but these pictures look all dream/sunny/washed-out. The original was clostrophobic in the extreme, with the Village being like a rat maze of levels and lanes. This seems more like #6 got transported to Dune or something.
    Nevertheless, I expect to tune in. #startrek

    "Producer Kelly Souders warns: "You will see more people than you can imagine die in the first 12 [episodes]. Luckily it's Smallville, so not all of them stick." He says some of these deaths may take place in the future, and we also may see some people snuff it in some of Lois' visions."

    NO NO NO NO. Here's a great reason why Smallville will never reclaim itself. The producer should not be saying, "Hey, we're going to kill some people, but don't worry - they'll come back to life!" #startrek
