Costumer's Replies


If you think he didn't bat an eyelash after his aunt and uncle were killed you weren't paying attention. I was 28 when I saw it for the first time. Loved it then and love it now. Speaking as a person of Italian descent that is ridiculous. No, he did not commit suicide. He took an action intended to save others. The action resulted in his death, which he understood. But the intent of the action wasn't to die. In matters of this kind, intent is everything. The same thing applies to the soldier who throws himself on a grenade. He isn't trying to die, he's trying to save his friends and comrades. Interesting. And entirely unenforceable. Despite what they may think, a school cannot require people to do or not do anything on their own property or on property they do not own. If the parent wants to use school property, they could enforce such a restriction, but no where else. Really, if you were 7 in 1966 then you are younger than I am, and certainly do not consider myself, 60, to be an old man. You are making an error in interpretation. Being in the top 20 % of women's names does not mean that that a significant number of woman had it. I don't find any info on the specifics. However, If the top name is given to 10% of woman, the 2nd to 5% and so forth, by the time you get to 799 only 0.1% (to pull a number completely out of the air) may have the name Michael. No, I don't believe everything on the internet. But I did check several sites. I have no need to list them for you. You can find them yourself. It took me just a few minutes. However, its irrelevant. I gave you the names of two women who are named Michael. Both have some measure of fame. That, in itself, is evidence that the name can be used for women. You may not like the name for a woman. But others do. The popularity of names changes over time. Names that seem restricted to one gender can change. This is evident even now. Marion and Evelyn are considered women's names. But there are men who have those names. How the appropriateness or popularity of Michael as a woman's name could develop in the next couple of centuries is impossible to predict. For all we now, Michael is a very common woman's name in the 23rd century. Doubt it. Michael Learned? Michael Michele? I found several sites that list it as a girl's name. When the question is raised on various naming sites, several women identify their name as Michael. (Sometimes they use variant spellings. And they don't refer to feminine forms such as Michelle or Mikayla) Relative common doesn't mean you will find it everywhere. To claim it cannot be used for a woman is simply incorrect. And who knows how naming trends may develop in the future. They could likely be some famous woman from that time named Michael, leading to parent's naming their daughters Michael. IRRC, and I could be wrong, you are referring to the Enterprise Incident. Spock used a fake technique to make the Romulan Captain think he had killed Captain Kirk. It was never a technique Spock used and I have never heard "death grip" used to describe the Vulcan neck pinch or grip. >>>>4.) I noticed that with the make-up too. I didn't mind the language but I watch a lot of films with subtitles. The slow speech pattern of the main character was weird though.<<<< I don't think it was the subtitles that was the problem. While I overall enjoyed the first episode, the issue with the Klingon language was that they were speaking it so slowly. I do recall Klingon being a bit more measured in tempo than English, but that doesn't mean speak like you are thinking only one word at a time. , why do you think it was a death grip? That is a completely mythical Vulcan method. It looked like a simple nerve pinch to me. Still an assault on a superior officer, but not an attempt at murder. A quick internet check reveals that Michael is a relatively common name for a woman. The site I found lists it as #799 out of 4276 (top 19%). So while not common to most of us as a woman's name, it is far from unknown. Pardon me, but what precisely are Klingongs? Star Trek has Klingons but not Klingongs. Yes, I'm sure its a typo, but you might want to correct it. I really didn't expect them to show it as it happened. But it was the only reason Cocoran was rebound. It was disappointing that it was relegated to a side issue and Manfred put Cocoran down. >>>No one 400 years in the future would give a F- about our reality TV.<<<< Yes, because absolutely no one in the 21st century ever enjoys Shakespeare. >>>>But I don't know if you can fit a decent sci-fi plot in 30 minutes<<<<< Well, since the episodes are an hour long, that shouldn't be a problem. While I enjoyed the series, the departures from the book were a bit jarring. Translating from book to film or TV is never 100%. You have to make adjustments for the differences between the mediums. However, it was a disappointing that the only parts of the last two episodes that occurred in the book was the revelation that Fiji was a virgin and that Bobo and Fiji having sex was necessary to stop Cocoran (I'm sure I misspelled the demon's name). It sort of missed the shock value as well, since Bobo and Fiji were supposed to have sex on the crossroads; i.e. in the middle of the main intersection of town. And with the rest of the main characters there as well. Except it is part of the story that It's victims floats. Its repeated many times. And piles of bodies have been done many times. No.
