I noticed that someone on this board recently described themselves as like Commander Data from Star Trek. Very able intellectually but struggles emotionally and socially. It was something like that and I can't remember who wrote it.
But I thought Commander Data was a good metaphor for how I feel and behave- able intellectually but struggles emotionally and socially. Does anyone else feel like that? Data was my favourite character in Star Trek, this must be why!
My favourite Star Trek film too.
Definitely my favourite. I know Enterprise wasn't brilliant but I like how they tied in the result of first contact and how the Enterprise first met them on the neutral zone too....I think first contact was so good none of the other next gen movies really had a chance.
No, I'm not the Borg Queen, haha! I like First Contact, that's my favourite of all Star Trek films. Assimilate this!
And the scene on the holodeck with all the holograms dancing, and the Borg trying to assimilate them
That's basically what the Borg queen said in First Contact.....yes, I am a big fan of Star Trek :D
No what’s that?
please dont bother
I'll try to find the detailed breakdown for you. Disney is in big financial trouble - 27000 employees made redundant recently - Disneyland California may end up closing permanently.
There's also an investigation going on into 'financial irregularities' that have been going on for years over-declaring profits.
They just announced that the cruise business probably won't re-open until mid 2022 and the Disney annual passes have just been scrapped.

why has this formatted like this ?
Shares of Walt Disney are up 15.6 percent since last year and more than 127 percent since Disney purchased Lucasfilm six years ago today.
Over 23 total films, the MCU has grossed nearly $23 billion at the worldwide box office. Lucasfilm, meanwhile, has delivered five films for Disney in four years, generating a gross profit of nearly $2 billion for the conglomerate.
I wish I had bought some shares !
Only in turnover - not profit. They are even losing money on the merchandising.
Disney bought Lucasfilm six years ago today and has already recouped its $4 billion investment

I'd have to agree - I'm a huge Disney fan but for the last decade or so, they've got the "reverse Midas touch" where everything they touch turns to crap.
I watched a detailed financial breakdown of Disney's handling of the Lucas franchise - they bought it for 4.7Billion dollars and after all of the costs are taken out, the distribution, marketing etc., their TOTAL profit to date for all of their investment is only 600 million.- which should have had some Disney Execs taken out and shot!
I love everything until Disney sequels came out.
I watched them when they came out in the 70s/80s and loved them since then. Obviously the original ones, not the prequels and sequels.
Yes may 1997 I saw the remastered at the cinema have been obsessed since.
Yeah, that's the classic definition of a psychopath....a total lack of empathy but his chip either goes to 10 or 0 and I think that's the interesting thing about him. I mean, he's the same model as date so would logically be able to think just like him too....it's that bloomin emotion chip he has :D
Lor is definitely a psychopath, but so many humans are. I definitely have too much empathy, however it has drained me so now I can turn it off easily. I will end up dead if I feel everyone's pain so I ignore it now.
YES! Love Star Wars. I was so happy that time they remastered the films digitally and realised that Luke has a lot more dialogue than I thought. He just mumbles a lot. And Mark Hamill is such a wonderful man.
That's the interesting thing and I definitely think so but I think it's something like in certain aspects we have none or very little and in others we kinda have too much. A friend of mine who's a consultant up in London (although that's not how I know her) said I was one of the most emotional people she knew but in certain aspects and things I'm not if you know what I mean and I think that's kinda how I see Lore.
Some people with autism claim they have too much empathy rather than low empathy.
