Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 30, 2014

BLASPHEMY! Mr Peirce, I bet you are a heathen Star Wars fan!!

Nate, if you can remember everything that happens in these episodes, you shouldn’t be watching them.

coolio

Or a holodeck malfunction. Or even a holodeck episode. Holodecks: the sign of a writers room in desperation.

LOL!!!

oh and i found a cool trick, type “do a barrel roll” in google and enter and watch!

Absolutely right, Lincoln. Star Trek is so predictable.

And, you guessed it, I’m a Star Wars fan.

The closest I can gather, Francis is referring to “Violations”, Season 5, episode 12.

I bet it was the one where Picard was annoyed, or Riker acted macho, or Troi was disturbed, or Wesley was annoying, or Data was confused. Oh wait, that was all of them!

Holodeck malfunction, yes! Worst invention ever.

Did a guy in a red shirt get screwed?

Cheeze-willikers, did you say it enough times?,,,,!!!!….DON’T ANSWER THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s see: the Pegassu, no alien takeover/time travel. One of my favourites.

Sorry Nate.

I can laugh at parodies of my favorite shows and even make fun of them myself (did it ever bother Worf that every time he proposed tighter security measures he was contradicted by the captain? Did the red-shirts agitate for a change of color because they were being disproportionately killed?) but let’s give these shows their due. Both the original Star Trek and Next Generation produced high-quality television. Were there a few clunkers along the way? Sure — it happens when you’re creating a weekly television show. Did we sometimes see similar dangers – threats from aliens, anomalies in space, time travel? That’s your stock-in-trade when your stories take place aboard a starship (same as doctor shows deal with illness and police and lawyer shows deal with crime). What matters is what you do with the ideas.

Lucas’ ideas for Star Wars weren’t original – dogfights in outer space, the young hero on a quest, discovering his destiny. What counted was how he executed those ideas, and that’s what made the original movies so popular and successful.

Lucas also ripped off Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series. Asimov didn’t mind though, he said he got the idea from Gibbon’s “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”.

Im a Star Wars fan.

Granted that Asimov heard it second hand (I read it in one of his autobiographies), but he knew pretty much anyone in the field. I wasn’t aware that we were in a court of law. Some people are pretty protective of Saint Lucas.

@peanuts511It works on iPads too. Also try “tilt” or “askew”.

Uh, COMISFTW, Nate watches Star Trek: The Next Generation for enjoyment.

did gocomics used to be green in 2014?

Why must he bully him for this???

Bruh.
