You know, we make fun of this, but it's actually a healthy thing for CaptainX. He can't stand Star Trek, but desperately likes the idea of being a Trek nerd. So what does he do? He invents an imaginary Trek that conforms to his own ideas. So far, so good. But then he goes to an unhealthy place, in which he craves validation. He craves it to such extent that he needs the rest of us to prefer his Trek (XTrek) to real Trek. But we don't, because we all know that real Trek is better. And he can't stand it.
I think you're right. Having looked at his website, I can also understand why he lashes out so much. He craves that validation but never receives it, because no one visits his pathetic website or even cares about the sad little reality he's created for himself. Proof: I'm sure a team of psychologists would have a field day.
Shit, I hope that last post doesn't drive him over the edge into some kind of psychotic episode. He clearly has issues.
I'm surprised he still has the link in his signature. Only a masochist would humiliate himself so purposefully.
I do know the difference, and I fuse both together in an argue-y, mock-y goodness that can feed the whole family.
Hey... maybe your next script could be Executive Produced by CX? after all, he's been EPing his Star Trek series for ages.
Nope. For me to write anything Star Trek, there's got to be something in it for me, and there just ain't. Between... what is it, 200+ TOS novels, the original series remastered for Blu-Ray and the TOS movies, I'm good. I don't need any more TOS, got plenty. "So why are you so torqued about NuTrek, then?!" you ask? Because I thought it would actually be more quality TOS. It isn't. It just pretended to be in order to get close enough to stuff its greedy fuckin' hand in peoples' wallets, and that ain't cool.
All those who think the "haters" (with the possible exception of Dayton) are just trolling raise your hand. /raises hand.
INSUFFICIENT. If you think that's the kind of shit that's effective around here, you might maybe oughta just sit back and shut up and watch for a while longer.
Don't like your obvious trolling pointed out? Do you see the age of this account? I know who all the players are here. Everyone from bigoted liberals to to down in the bunker conservatives to writers who are completely convinced they are the smartest person in the room. Yes, that includes knowing your schtick too.
Oh, shyaddap. The mere fact that you've lurked and lurked and lurked and never said shit means you ain't got shit to say. Don't start piping up now, you've exceeded your expiration date.
Really? Whre have I tried to elevate MY importance? Someone in this conversation thinks he is important, but to see him you need a mirror. Anyway, I'm finished, I know the desire of the troll is to get someone to "engage" with them.
Re: The Official Red Room Bitch About People Who Don't Like Star Trek Into Darkness Thread On this point, Dayton is a broken clock that's right twice a day. Movies like Transformers 2 made a shit ton of money, and it's not on very many people's list of best movies from whatever year it came out.
Now you know spamming an image is quality debate (or quality trolling) and we're all just dullards for not "getting it".
