Fantasy players. That’s it. None are connected to reality.

Great minds think alike... :)

“Lolita Fatjo”

A real name???

[Wallace T.]

Note to the actors who signed this document: will ya’ll please settle your affairs in this country and go to countries where your delicate sensitivities won't be hurt. Canada, Denmark, Sri Lanka, Vulcan, wherever. Delta is ready when you are.

I will *NEVER* pay to watch another Star Trek movie again! Pffft. Screw them!

[PROCON]

[polymuser]

Yup - Star TreQ, boldly going were no he-she has gone before.

(Puns, please...)

[piytar]

Cause for all of the fun people make of Shatner, he’s actually NOT a MORON...

[kiryandil]

If you add up the IQs of a quarter of the people on the list, it might add up to Jeri’s IQ. :)

[KC_Lion]

Remind me to Send them a Copy of the “Ferengi Rules of Acquisition”

[\/\/ayne]

Must be the “Mirror, Mirror” Star Trek.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Man, I’ve had about all of this I can take.

[ronniesgal]

who really cares? they are actors after all, so probably lean left anyhow.
I hope Trump wins mostly to watch the left impale themselves.

I am reminded of a line from the movie version of Get Smart. The bad guys were discussing their nefarious plan to nuke Hollywood.

Shtarker: Too bad about all the dead movie stars.
Siegfried: Yes. What will we do without their razor-sharp political advice.

Get Smart (2008)

Captain pike, aka. Hillary, blinks.... once....

[M Kehoe]

I’m convinced. Trump gets my vote.

Nobody should be surprised about JJ Abrams after the SJW reboot of Star Wars. Its kind of disappointing to see how many people, including many who think of themselves as conservatives who lapped it up and apparently don’t know that Sci Fi’s two biggest franchises are now run by open unabashed extreme leftists. At least they used to try to hide it.

[piytar]

Wil Wheaton: The pre-cursor to Star Wars’ Jar Jar Binks. Pfffttt...

[fishtank]

Dorn and Stewart did NOT sign.
