    Although it’s off topic, I agree as well. The interest in monetizing websites by leveraging social media has led to a tidal wave of garbage content and reposted stories. The whole thing is off the rails.

  2. Not a Star Trek fan but I am a fan of equality 🙂 great news!

    Inside the Magic was never just about Disney. Ricky covered a variety of themed entertainment from the get-go and he is STILL in charge of everything to this day. He sees everything we write, and approves it. This is still his vision. We’ve just expanded, and it’s working out very well for us. If you’re unsatisfied, I’m sure there are plenty of outlets capable of giving you what you’re looking for.

    So let’s call a spade a spade: you saw something you disagreed with, that didn’t have ANYTHING to do with your day-to-day life, and decided to rage about it on a comments section. You don’t have to admit it to me, but you’re wearing it all over your comments (the first of which, I deleted). Negativity will not be tolerated, and you are being a bully. There are actual people behind these keyboards.

    Have a magical day!

      Rage and bully are certainly not the words I would use, but I can see this is a very sensitive topic for you. I will remove myself from this discussion and wish the ITM team no ill will.

        As an Orlando resident who has lost a lot over the last few months, this is certainly a sensitive topic.

        But aside from all of that: we have a business model, a plan for the future of this company, and we are very confident about it. We still continue to cover the parks more than any other subject on our website, but we are hoping our expanded coverage will bring in new fans without alienating old ones. As somebody who *has* been following us since the beginning, I sincerely hope you keep reading — and commenting in a positive manner. Thanks.

    Great story! If George Takei had been able to be public with his sexuality during the 60’s TV show, then Sulu would have just naturally been a gay character anyway. I am sure he must feel very honored by this announcement.

    I felt the whole Star Trek reboot changed the whole tone of the original Star Trek like Spock and Uhura having a relationship. This is just affirmation that things are completely different and my interest in the series has decreased. Sulu can’t be about George Takei. It is worse enough that Takei and William Shatner have public feuds. We are bringing in the personal full circle. I’m more concerned about the integrity of Star Trek.

    Who cares. Star Trek is as dead as anything J.J. Abrams has ever touched.
