Sade's album is terrific. And I think The Black List videos one and two are available at Target. I'm sure the DVD is available for rental.Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-14060303614126897372010-02-13T07:39:13.864-05:002010-02-13T07:39:13.864-05:00Apache Chief is lame, you have to admit.

May be time for new superheroes to enter the Hall of Justice, or Justice League, or whatever version DC Comics is around.<br /><br />So, not a Marvel fan?<br /><br />I didn't know that fact about Nichelle Nichols and Dr. King. Amazing.<br /><br />I think Aquaman has a son, Aqualad. So in case he's on vacation, or just eaten a big meal, the oceans will be safe.Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-20817861003667406182010-02-11T17:55:16.637-05:002010-02-11T17:55:16.637-05:00My other concern with Aquaman is the lack of diver...My other concern with Aquaman is the lack of diversity in the Hall of Justice. Wonder Woman, Batman, Robin and Superman are all caucasian. Do we really need another white male with marginal superpowers? I say get rid of Aquaman and replace him with Apache Chief--that Native American superhero who could grow into a giant. Plus if a submarine crashes or something you could just text message Aquaman out of retirement. <br /><br />I heard that Nichelle Nicols was going to quit the show because she thought it was a little dumb but then she met Dr. Martin Luther King who told her she was extremely important to the movement. She never looked back after that. <br /><br />My question is, what happens if there is an ocean emergency and Aquaman just finished eating. Does he have to wait the full hour before going in the water?FGCUpoetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-1941341853550444182010-02-11T10:27:59.180-05:002010-02-11T10:27:59.180-05:00i'm loving the Aquaman and Robin question as w...i'm loving the Aquaman and Robin question as well as the Star Trek references :)<br /><br />Have to agree about Aquaman as perhaps the most useless of super heroes. Unless you get to one of the superheroes in my 2nd collection - Fat Girl and her fellow champion Geek Girl. What will they do?<br /><br />i confess i have a tendency towards being impatient and too hurried which results in events like Tuesday where I was supposed to bring a laptop with wireless access and forgot the wireless adapter *sigh*Jessie Cartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181286764480973423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-40267430826832914162010-02-10T23:34:07.346-05:002010-02-10T23:34:07.346-05:00I also agree that Aquaman is useless -though I hav...I also agree that Aquaman is useless -though I haven't read what this must be referring to.<br /><br />I don't have HBO, or cable, do you think that series will be on DVD?<br /><br />A new SADE album?

I think Aquama...A fine question, indeed, FGCUpoet.<br /><br />I think Aquaman is more useless. Has nothing to do with the exploitation of sea life, which is appalling in itself. But beyond the ocean, he has no real power. And other than a plot line in the show "Entourage," there's no Aquaman movie coming out anytime soon. He’s more lame than useless, in my opinion.<br /><br />Robin has done his time as a sidekick in the Batman movies; he also has his own cartoon (Teen Titans). I wouldn't be surprised if the Robin character is spun off into its own franchise because Hollywood is out of original ideas.<br /><br />I'm impressed with your knowledge of Star Trek movies, FGCUpoet. Can't recall the Space Seed episode but I'll check with my people and get back to you. (OK, I have no people, but I’m checking.)<br /><br />Coming full circle, in The Black List documentary, part 3, Whoopi Goldberg talked about how cool it was to see Nichelle Nichols on Star Trek because there were no black people in space. And as you know, the first interracial kiss on television happened between Nichols and William Shatner in the “Plato’s Stepchildren” episode (Nov. 22, 1968).<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed <i>Underlife!</i>Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-4358888970081371252010-02-09T14:51:32.909-05:002010-02-09T14:51:32.909-05:00I just read "Underlife."

My question is which superhero is more useless, Robin or Aquaman? Robin provides companionship to Batman which is important, and I feel Aquaman exploits whales and dolphins. At least Spock asked the whale's permission in Star Trek IV before time travelling them back to the future. Did you know that Kahn recognizes Chekov in Star Trek II, but they never met because Chekov was not on the show in the original "Space Seed" TV episode?FGCUpoetnoreply@blogger.com
