Canon you disagree with

That I personally rewrite in my mind what I think they were feeling. They felt they trully were gods and the return of even one of their own was worth half the galaxy in their mind… er minds… no mind :slight_smile:

That should’ve said Pretty much all of Voyager, and bits of TOS.

I liked TOS, but it’s internally inconsistent and I like klingons with head ridges, not green skinpaint, goddamnit!

Bucky as Winter Soldier
Gwen Stacy and Norman Osborn

Jar-Jar

I believe they were black and rather golden, actually.

Regarding TOS, the rest of Trek stands on the head of a giant. :slight_smile:

The X-Files:

  • Emily cannot be both Scully’s child and born three months after her abduction/ova being stolen without Mulder ever wondering how the hell that happened. I can suspend disbelief about the compressed timeline only if he thinks its odd.
  • “The Gift” didn’t take place in May as stated off-handedly by Doggett. If it did, Scully was pregant an entire year, you moron writers. Take a bio course!
  • They didn’t say Gibson praise was twelve in “Within”/“Without” because he was said to be twelve three years earlier. Gibson is special, but what is he, a leap-year baby?

I’ll second Whynot about the “Willow’s gay” plot. It would have made a heap more sense for her to be bi after her puppylust for Xander.

Either that, or on the Big Giant Head! :smiley:

Agreed on the “Willow’s gay” issue. Chasing Amy had a similar problem.

Any and all of the Dune prequels written by Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert. They never happened.

It doesn’t. There are five primary stars, along with a few proto-stars that orbit some of the larger ones and have planets of their own.

I’ll go for a trifecta here and ignore any dates given on Babylon 5, Star trek and Firefly. I do not believe we can get from where we are now to an intersteller federation ,alliance etc on hundreds of worlds in the time available. I am going to move forward the dates given in the series , oh about 400 years each.

You mean to tell me that the Old Testament YHWH is the same as Jesus’ dad? No frikkin’ way!

Firefly gives dates? I never noticed any.

As for the other two series - in both cases, humanity received a huge amount of technology from the alien civilizations that made first contact with them (the Vulcans in ST and the Minbari in B5). I can easily imagine that receiving interstellar travel technology would lead to an accellerated period of exploration and colonization, akin to Europe in the 16th-18th centuries, along with the political upheavals of the 19th and 20th.

There’s at least a few instances of stickball being played with lightsabers in the original trilogy. Obiwan use a lightsaber stickball energy blast bot thingie to train Luke in A New Hope, and Luke batted an energy bolt back at its source during the Han rescue at Jabba’s palace in Return of the Jedi. I’m sure there’s lots of other examples of lightsabers reflecting energy bolts in the original trilogy.

Actually, I think you named them all. Except when Luke was training, the energy bolts seemed to be absorbed rather than deflected. But Luke definitely deflected energy bolts in Return of the Jedi.

You mean the Centauri. Humans did get technology from the Minbari after first encountering them but it was mainly in the form of energy beams.

Right. Centauri. That’s what I meant to write.

Yes, one of the silliest cases of bi-erasure I can think of.

Padme dying in childbirth, of a broken heart. Who is that Leia recalls to Luke, while in the forest on Endor, as being very sad all the time, then? Not the adoptive who raised her, because Leia remembers the sad mother going away when Leia was very young, and adoptive mother (wife of Bail Organa) was around until she was murdered by Vader in Episode IV. That whole dramatic childbirth scene with Padme was not canon. Just not.

Superman III and IV, the ones with Christopher Reeve and especially the one (was it III?) with Richard Pryor and the giant evil world-controlling computer. Nope, just no.

Similarly, while they’re fine, fluffy entertainment, I reject any suggestion that anything that occurred in the 90s Batman films (Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney) are canon in any fashion.

I pretty much reject all three Star Wars prequels.

I think you’re right, Willow is bi, probably with a strong preference for women. But I don’t think that she knows that she is anything but gay. She has always had identity issues, and her dream sequence in Restless makes it clear that she thinks that her relationships are her gateway out of being a nerd and into being accepted. I hope that she gets clued in to this in the comics.

Not much, really. I just disagree with her calling off the dogs of war. I see them very much as Imperial Japan, and can’t imagine them giving up so easily. That said, I can see wolfman’s point. I just prefer my own version of them absolutely refusing to stop until whatever planet they’re currently inhabiting is surrounded by a fleet of Klingon, Romulan, and Federation warships.
