haven't seen it firsthand yet, but apparently Data was described as being "fully functional"?
Best. Line. EVER!
Oh, don't get me wrong, I thought Q was funny (most of the time), it was just his treatment of women and the way everyone else reacted, like it was so outrageously funny, that really bothered me. There's a great episode of DS:9, the first one where Q shows up, and because those characters are all so ornery, they don't take his B.S. for a minute, heh! That was pretty awesome! xD
Ooooooh! Now, you know I have to divide this in two:
Movie verse-
- I actually have a harder time reconciling the continuity between X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand than I do between the three X-Men movies and Wolverine, even though most of the former set were things implied from the first two movies, like Jean mutating or Kelly still being alive. Maybe I'm just pissed at having missed those payoffs but, seriously, I don't see Wolverine as having that big a gaping continuity error in it.
- I kinda 'ship Logan/Ororo. I can't help it! I don't love Halle Berry in it, but there is something there between the characters for me. What can I say? It just does it for me!
- Rogue/Bobby makes me wanna puke, quite frankly. Ann once referred to the "two people who wanted to see them together," and I snottily responded, "Yeah, and one was Bryan Singer." To which she concluded, "and the other was the actor who played Bobby--fair do's." I didn't like it in the comic when something was implied and it never, ever really jived with me on screen. Especially when he was messing around with Kitty and then was all like, "Now we can fool around? Awesome! I'm so done with Kitty!" Dick.
Comic verse-
- I... hate Emma's origins. It's just so... trendy, and the gay brother she was friends with... I mean, who is she, Madonna? I don't know what I imagined, if anything ever, but everything they came up with just seemed so... typical once I knew what route they were going.
- On the other hand, I love Wolverine: Origin. Dog is one of my favorite characters in X-Men canon, and the transformation of little James Howlett into Logan. Rose kinda bothers me but what can ya do?
- Jean needs to stay dead. She's outlived her usefulness to any and all who loved her; they need to just move on, and most of them have.
And a bonus:
- The answer to solving the problem of Rogue's redundancy and the rut her angst has dropped her character into is to just make her able to control her frickin' powers! Why no one else but me sees this, I'll never understand... Seriously, it's been like 30 years now! Enough!
