Re: New Empire vs New rebellion in the sequels: Biggest mistake?

It was almost prophetic how the legends canon EU was taken apart critically for its overuse of the repeated narratives aping the original trilogy with no finesse, only for the sequel trilogy to fall to those same pitfalls because they couldn't help themselves but make the focus of the films center a...

Re: First pic of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool

Almost too much like the comic jumped off the page, but guess can get away with it with his character. Wonder how he'll blend in. Yeah, Deadpool is a character that has to be over-the-top to effectively convey the character in a manner that would be satisfactory. It is going to be interesting seein...

Re: A enraging expose from Jon Oliver on voting rights.

The larger issue on the status of each territory within the context of statehood aside. The citizenship of the persons in those territories is more the issue that the video addresses. And from that perspective, it's all terrible and there is no way it is good for them. Part of the problem is, while ...

Re: Jon Stewart Leaving The Daily Show Later This Year

The format is immensely popular. There's no reason for it to drastically change. I disagree, changing the host of a show is the perfect time to drastically change the format of a production. The same thing happened to the Daily Show when Jon Stewart came into the host's position, the show went from...

So, here is what The Commonwealth, or more accurately, MultiGlobal United, is doing on Clusterfuck Station. The Berth is split into two sections, the Pub[lic] Office, and the Corporate Office.

Considering the nature of The Commonwealth (Ancient, Mostly Human, Densely Populated, Decentralized) I would think The Commonwealth would end up somewhere near Sol and near enough to the Stellar Nation's stationary portions that trade relations are a thing.
