Kerfuffle

Love it! I tend to be on the targeted side more often then not. Liked Star Trek In Darkness (and the previous one, regardless of being in it)and have no problem with JJ playing in Star Wars Land. Love Once Upon and whereever they go with it, Supernatural too, and have no problem with Ben in the Batsuit, and you know what I liked Daredevil too. Back when I started doing conventions thanks to the Star Trek Comics I worked on, I immediately started promoting films and TV as I found that was a better secondary reason to get invited to cons. I found that first time out as I had stage time to kill and started to tell the just happened casting on Burton's Batman. And yes I had to convince the audience that Burton/Keaton could handle it just fine and it won't be the fiasco of the Batman TV show, something that may have become a guilty pleasure, but was still a different Batman from 15 years before (and Schumacher proved that was not a direction to strive for...twice). I have issues with all of them, but never to work against them, that's just foolish. Knew a couple of guys who were allowed to make their own panels at Star Trek cons because they worked for the promoter and what do they do, make a forum to take Enterprise off the air because of this technicality or the ship looked to good or other nonsense. The show had issues, but it DID get taken off early, not the usual 7 years, but in their 4th year, when it was already a given it would be the last, its new show runner Manny Coto gave us the best Trek pretty much since the classic series and answered every Trekkie question you could imagine, like why the Vulcans were acting a bit different from what we knew, why the classic Klingons didn't have bumpy heads, just where DID Kahn and his people come from, and more, and all answered satisfactorily, but lots of people had already been convinced to tune out and missed some good stuff. Having a panel AT a Star Trek convention to take Star Trek off the air....that's about as wrong as you can get, and you get to have your fan card taken away. Hit it on the nose Kath, but I guarantee you, the worst perpetrators, still won't get it...
