Wharton Zach,

Remember the chick who played Randy in Airplane? Man, she was really hot. In the movie, she didn't have a husband, but I don't know if she was single in real life, too.

Anyway, what's your favorite English-language series that does not feature Ice-T?

He was great in Breakin'. I really connected with his raps, like this one:

Hip-Hopping is a way of life,
With graffiti and rapping on the mic
As the record scratches to the break of beat
The Hip-Hop was sound of the street!
The Hip-Hopping, being around a while
With the serious funk, that people style
A record scratches, a simple rap
A breaker spinning on his back.

I've never watched Stars Wars or Star Trek; which one should I watch first? Why?

2 completely different things. "star trek" is true science fiction; "star wars" is an action western set in space.

and there's no way in hell i believe you haven't seen either at all. LIAR!

Yeah, Star Trek II:The Wrath of Khan is the best intro to the ST universe. The editing of the first battle with Khan and Kirk is just perfect.

As for Star Wars, I would depart the conventional wisdom, and recommend Rogue One, and then Episode IV.

I’ve never seen any of the Star Trek movies nor than a couple of minutes of any of the tv shows either. Just never had the interest in either. There may be a couple of the newer Star Wars movies that I’ve never seen either.

I thought you were sophisticated.

You've never seen Kirk fight the Gorn? One of the most dynamic fight scenes in the history of film....or just history in general. So realistic, ahead of its time.

Dear W_Z,

What are your thoughts so far on Picard Season 3?

Season 3? Why I never even got through season 1. I just can’t with it.

Oh, and Picard is an android that ages like a normal person. Because, reasons.....

Another complaint is that Sanders relies heavily on feedback from focus groups, which tend to favor broad and less inclusive programming. Several Amazon insiders say the reliance on testing and data led to a clash late last summer, when an Amazon executive said in a marketing meeting for the series A League of Their Own that data showed audiences found queer stories off-putting and suggested downplaying those themes in materials promoting the show. Series co-creator Will Graham became greatly concerned about bias built into Amazon’s system for evaluating shows, which multiple sources say often ranked broad series featuring straight, white male leads above all others. One executive calls A League of Their Own “a proxy for how diverse and inclusive shows are treated.”

I found this to be remarkably interesting. It seems like they are missing the point of creating content that people want to see rather than creating content they have decided they want to make.

It's like opening a hamburger place, and having a bunch of people try it and say "Your hamburgers are too fancy" and instead of putting in a basic hamburger you pretend they are wrong.
