About The Author
Well, that sounds awfully stupid.
Sounds like a comedy show, doesn’t mean it’s stupid
Because it’s comedy? No… Because that description reads incredibly stupidly? Indeed.
It’s the exact same plot as one of the original episodes…are you calling the original Trek stupid? If so, you should probably go home, you’re drunk.
That’s funny… I don’t remember the part of the plot of Where No Man Has Gone Before that included this: “Will Spock be able to overcome his Uncomfortable Bowel Syndrome and find love? Why is Kirk such as dick?”
And did you even click on the link and see any of it? Atrocious… and stupid… But, obviously that’s my opinion. Why are you trying to force your opinion to be mine? If you think it’ll be funny, enjoy it. I don’t begrudge stupid people their entertainment. Simple minds, simple pleasures. Enjoy finding out why Kirk is such a dick… I don’t much care… about that, or your opinion of my opinion. Shocking, I know.
Well, that’s great if you don’t want to watch it, but that doesn’t mean you have to ruin it for the rest of those who want to see it. I would love to see it, but it’s people like you who make me lose hope in the world. We know what your opinion of it is, but if you went it go see it would it change? you don’t even know what this play has to offer, comedy wise. Simple minds, simple pleasures? You know what’s a simple pleasure? Having sex. But we also need that to survive. If having simple pleasures is wrong then you should not reproduce, so people who don’t enjoy the simple things in life don’t have to.
Oh, my bad… It’s my opinion, so I’m not allowed to have that. Forgot, sorry.
