I'll put Kirk's virility up against Han Solo's any day.

RECOUNT UNTIL SHE LOSES!

Musk, probably.

I agree 100%.

And you speak like Rorschach in The Watchmen.

Well that was a very interesting read.

As to conspiracies, I was not advancing one. I was simply stating what seemed like a very obvious financial move on the part of a for-profit organization. Why sell you something if I can rent it.

Medical researchers are victims of funding and not in control of that at all. Those decisions are made a level higher. And they're made on the basis of profit, not human wellness in general.

At least that's what my thinking tells me but, I have NO basis in fact and it sounds like you know a lot more about these things than I do.

I didn't really understand the correcting misinformation part of your comment though. Are you saying that big pharma DOES work on cures as a goal, or that ongoing prescriptions are not part of a plan that they have to make money? I guess that's why I'm thinking a post might be an order because it doesn't seem like you're able to get enough information in a comment.

At least for someone like me, who isn't really very intuitive and also isn't particularly smart, so I benefit a lot from the ongoing discussion that comes from replies to a post more than I do from a single comment from someone.

I particularly didn't understand this sentence:

I assure you, they'd much rather garnish your wages for life in exchange for curing your cancer than bankrupt you on chemo until you die.

Why would you assure me of that? Maybe if you could expand on it and ELI5, I might be able to get what you're saying a little better.

Wait are you trying to say that pharmaceutical companies spend as much or more time working on tours for diseases as they do on treating symptoms? I think I disagree with you although I don't have any data. I can't remember outside of vaccines the last time I heard of anything getting cured.

I have to admit I don't really understand your point, but it sounds a lot bigger than this thread. I don't know if you've posted before but maybe you should organize what you're trying to say and make it a post so other people can interact with it and it can get more visibility than just this comment on an unrelated topic.

It sounds like you might have a lot to say on this.

James Gunn has done a fantastic job so far, and deserves all the credit he can get. He's showing a very good hand at promoting as well, which is amazing. He's obviously very intelligent and capable, and has made good leadership decisions. The fact that he values the ensemble cast and himself lives a kind of ensemble life is highly valuable in the position he's in.

I'm just so glad that if they're going to start showing the darker side of comics they're doing it with Supergirl, and not with Batman or Constantine or any of the usual suspects.

This is a gritty story, and shouldn't really be funny except accidentally. But DAMN, talk about setting a standard for heroism.

It doesn't come much more heroic than Supergirl in this comic.

Didn't some very clever person send a company his own change of terms and conditions? I think I remember something like that.

I wish I was an extremely smart lawyer type person and could jack them up like that myself.

He isn't worth your deaths. Burn them and live.
