I chose to not have children. Where's my reward? Lol

I agree, well put.

The series is the events that lead up to jen and Kira saving the crystal. There's a few minor differences but for the majority it keeps with the movies lore well and strong. The story is moving and touching but it does have an air of futility if you've watched the movie because in the movie you know Jen and Kira are the last gelflings and the skeksies drained and killed the entire race before them. You find yourself whispering "please please go a different path from the future of the movie"

@LadyAlyxandrea Ah, well,I guess I understand bringing it back without exploring different paths, but it makes me sad even to think of it, let alone knowing while watching it. Thank you for the synopsis. But even with sadness, I think I'll watch it anyway.

Take them both and let them fight it out in my gut.

@resserts
Haha, that’s pretty funny!

@resserts I have gastroparesis so it'll take about a week and a half to find out haha

Which one gets me in bed with Keanu Reeves?

It's psychology and philosophy.

It doesn't matter if the story is fiction, what matters is it gets people thinking and asking questions. It incites curiosity into morality and the human condition. The instinct to fight or thrive.

If the fact that the story these intrigues and questions came from is fiction makes them irrelevant, then how many scientific advancements and discoveries do you think we wouldn't have today if it weren't for pieces of fiction inspiring minds to think?

And please do not call me darling while condescending to me.

@LadyAlyxandrea ok, no darling, no condescention intended, but it is still a fictional series with puppets, I didn't say irrelevant, you did. Certainly one can think about the plot and get inspirations from it, my post didn't imply that either, also a product of your own assumptions. My post was aimed at making you realize that the hard to watch, the sadness and the death that you do mention, are all caused by puppets, fictional, not real. Knock yourself out discussing and philisophizing all you want about the plot of a movie, it's your prerrogative. But at the end, that's all it is, a movie with a nice storyline with Jim Henson's puppets, which I did enjoy watching. Some parts were sad, some funny, some over the top, an overall nice production, but no matter how much you want to think about it, philosophize about it, psychoanalize it, the fact remains that it is still fictional and not real.

@Donotbelieve I said no darling no condescending, after she requested it. What about your attitude? You exude a lot of maturity and intelligence, right? Please!

@Donotbelieve and you are not being rude, I didn't use any expletives by the way, you did, nice lady.

@Donotbelieve If my original 6 words post was deemed as condescending of course I can apologize to Lady Alexandria, and in fact to clear things up, I hereby formally apologize to her for a post that was never intended to be condescending, the use of the word darling was not to be condescending but a friendly dissension, she seemed distressed by the script, she herself said it made her sad. Anyway, the second comment I made was also not intended to offend, perhaps the way it was worded might have sound condescending again, but when I wrote "ok, no darling" it was to accept what she requested, not to use the word darling. But I think people might have read it as if there was a comma, which there wasn't, and I see why it was misconstrued, had I written "ok, no, darling" then that would have been condescending, anyway, despite assumptions of mysoginistic behavior and childishness, I wish peole would open their minds to dissenting comments, if we all expect to post something and then find that everybody agrees with what you post, I don't think this site would have lasted this long. My original 6 word comment was just to make the point that a movie is just a movie, of course one can be moved by movies, I have cried in movies, laughed, cheered, etcetera, but at the end I understand that it is a movie. fiction is fiction, and reality is reality, yes, I know we all are impacted by fiction, just not everybody at the degree some others are. I try to keep my comments civil, I do not insult people or demean people, and only use off color language to attack those I despise, like our current POTUS or the religious hypocrites, ohterwise none of my comments use expletives, some are in support and others in disagreement, hopefully people can discuss their differences without insults whenever someone is in disagreement or in contention of what one posts, I think we all would benefit by defending your point of view without recurring to name calling, honest conversations using arguments and not insults or innuendos. Anyway, those are my two cents. My deepest apologies again to Lady Alexandria for inadvertedly sounding condescending.Similarly, the I reaffirm my original thoughts because I had a different point of view.

@Seeker3CO i saw your post, the issue is much more complicated, I can see some similarities of the situation in America but there are many other facts that don't fit the mold, theoretically we could get rid of many of these oppressors through our vote, it is tough, specially with Citizens United, but not impossible.

@Mofo1953 I just don't understand why you need to tell me in the same breath that I can't be saddened by the fate of fictional characters while at the same time the stories are moving.

The entire point of stories are to illicit empathy and emotion and my emotions are valid regardless if the characters are fictional.

@LadyAlyxandrea I never told you not to get sad, please show me where? I even said that "Some parts were sad, some funny, some over the top, an overall nice production," Who said that your emotions are not valid? You are putting words that I never said in my mouth. The comment about a movie is just a movie doesn't mean you cannot be moved by it, cry or cheer along with it, who am I to tell you how to react to a film? I would not even pretend to insinuate that. My original post said that the series "is fiction, not real." Because if I am wrong, and the series is actually real and not fictional, I will stand corrected. I can't stop anyone to feel the way that person wants to feel, and in fact I specifically said it is your prerrogative to feel however you want to feel and do whatever you want to do, at the end my point is the one it has always been, it is just a movie, period.

@Mofo1953 but why even bring it up? Where did I ever imply it was real? What point do you make by stating it as if I weren't already aware? All it does is make it seem like you're just condescending or mocking me for having emotions regarding a story and it's characters. I never once even suggested I was in a strange delusion where I believed this ACTUALLY happened.

Why would you even need to clarify it?

@LadyAlyxandrea i don't know, perhaps the overly serious tone of your first paragraph?

Stalin? Darn I thought it was Spock in "The Wrath of Khan"

the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one
