1. Suck it, Jerkules!

[Salviati]

2. Xena was always the better show anyway...

[FuzzyRabbit]

4. Amen!

[Slammer]

7. wry

At least they weren't Xenaphobic....

[ificandream]

16. Xena really was much much better. :)

[TheBlackAdder]

29. Sam Rami cast Lucy Lawless as both Xena and Ruby in Ash versus The Evil Dead.

25. If he wasn't such a dick his whole life, he might have actually had a career, no one wants his ass.

[SergeStorms]

3. Other than a re-run here or there.....

when was the last time anyone of you saw Keven Sorbo in anything?

How many of you wouldn't know who Kevin Sorbo was if he fell out of the sky into your living room?

[Earth-shine]

6. I used to watch Andromeda. He was actually pretty good as the captain.

And so, it was bizarre for me to see how he is in real life.

He could never again score a gig as good as that one.

Like many shows, it started out good, but then became totally ridiculous over time.

[Deep State Witch]

8. He Went From Herc to Kirk to Jerk

Although, truth be told, he and his ego drove Robert Hewitt Wolfe and Keith Hamilton Cobb away from the show.

[Earth-shine]

10. That rhyme is really funny and telling.

I never knew anything about the internal politics of the show.

The fifth season is unwatchable drivel.

[Slammer]

9. Andromeda

Andromeda was a good show.

I was disappointed to find out from friends who knew people who worked on the show that he had the reputation of treating the staff like crap.

[Earth-shine]

11. the reputation of treating the staff like crap

And look at him now. What goes around comes around.

His career is as stuck as the Andromeda spacecraft was when near the black hole. (It had to be towed out.)

The show was good -- Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda -- until it became abjectly awful.

[SergeStorms]

12. So you people really know who he is?

I must have led a sheltered life, or ya'll are science fiction addicts. At least I've run across someone who knows who this jackass is.

[Earth-shine]

13. science fiction addicts?

I've been called worse.

The show was Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, and I am a Star Trek fan.

I thought Sorbo was an alright kind of guy until he proved to be a total, as you say, jackass.

I also think Man of Steel is one of the greatest movies ever made. The visuals and story are well matched with its amazing soundtrack.

[SergeStorms]

26. Addicts was a poorly chosen descriptor.

Sorry about that. "Fans" would have been a far better adjective.

Still, I'm not a science fiction/fantasy "fan" and I've never heard of those shows. Sorbo seems to have been typecast into the science fiction/fantasy genre. Even "Hercules" would fit that description, if I'm not mistaken.

Let's put it this way: Sorbo is never going to be nominated for an Academy Award, let alone win one.

[Slammer]

31. do you really need an award

He was the lead actor on two TV series totaling 11 seasons. Both those series are popular in reruns to give him residuals. He did guest appearances or voiceovers for two spin-off series.

If he wanted to, he could do the convention circuit and sell his autograph for $15-20 a pop with people lined up 14 hours a day for the chance to get one.

He's kept active doing tv and movie roles (a few movies as the star).

There's a lot of actors who'd give their left arm to get that much work/money.

[SergeStorms]

33. If he's satisfied....

with a career like that, then he's "succeeded". Signing autographs for has-been shows in re-runs is the pinnacle of his career. 🥳 Yippee.

[JHB]

36. He had a part in that conservative masturbatory fantasy posing as comedy movie...

..."An American Carol".

Sorbo's character was a super-successful always-winning-awards actor who kept swatting aside the filmmaker central character, a gossamer-thin caricature of Michael Moore.

When Sorbo's a "super-successful always-winning-awards actor", I stand by my characterization of the movie as "conservative masturbatory fantasy", and that's without getting into the rest of the movie.

[JHB]

35. And if everything else ran out, he's always up for cartoonishly dreadful "Christian" movies...

...feeding evangelicals' paranoia that they're victims of persecution.

[jaxexpat]

41. Pat Roberts is a prayer addict, you know.

Ever since the fifties, when the world discovered Mickey Spillane, the term "addict" is so overblown.

[TigressDem]

40. It's a BIG world. Diversity is good. Geeks are sci-fi buffs and bring progress. Don't be hating.

THAT said, I am TERRIBLY discouraged that Kevin Sorbo is drinking the koolaid and watching alt news.

What I have seen is that people who are more Libertarian have eventually become unhinged when tRump made them choose sides and freaked them out about "fake news" coming from the actual reliable sources.

tRump used his position as sitting President to plow the field, fertilize it and plant the seeds for the BIG LIE and so that loyalty a lot of US have to a sitting pRes even if we disagree with his politics in general snagged a lot of people who might have simply rejected such brazen assertions IF NOT for how slowly and methodically and constantly the pieces were put into play.

I have family members who have been sucked in and it is like seeing someone who is in a cult and their mind is just warped.

Not personally knowing Kevin, I don't know what he was like to start, but he came from Minnesota, so there is every chance he started out nice and got warped.

That said, I knew a man who was drop dead gorgeous and the EX of a friend of mine. He walked up to our apartment building. I was tying her little guy's shoes so he could go on visitation. I looked at him and thought, "Whoa, he looks like an actor." Then he opened his mouth and said something about how my friend should get punched in the head for not having the kid ready on time. Then I gritted my teeth, kept myself from decking him right there and thought, "But opens his mouth and the ugly comes out."

That man did have an honest to goodness mental disorder, so at least when he took his meds he was halfway decent. Halfway. He was good to his kids.

[quaint]

37. Good show but I thought he played Captain Herc.

Same-o Kevin.

[Earth-shine]

38. As an actor, he doesn't have much range. So, it was like Hercules playing Cap't Hunt.

The Hercules series took place millennia ago. But, there's one ep of Hercules that takes place in the present day, where it is portrayed that Hercules is still alive and in the guise of some guy named Kevin Sorbo.

I thought it was a clever plot and fun episode.

Again, it's too bad Sorbo is such a jerk with a very limited view of the world.

[quaint]

39. I'm going to search for that one, somehow missed it.

TY

[paleotn]

20. To be honest, I don't know who the hell he is.

Then again I'm a bit old and pop culture for me ended in about 1995. After that, unless they're super notable, I haven't clue who they are. And I use to chuckle at old folks saying...who?

[SergeStorms]

28. Same here.

I'm at an age (probably around the same age as you) where the Arts have completely passed me by. I don't remember laughing at old people when I was young, but in all probability I did. It's not so funny when the shoe's on the other foot, but that's life. 👌

[Siwsan]

23. His IMDB profile is full of 'pre production' and lots of indy, low budget stuff.

I've never seen that many 'pre production' listings on anyone's IMDB. Lots of religious vibe titles.

Just a guess on my part but I doubt any of his current 'work' brings in much of a paycheck and a lot of that pre production projects may never happen. He probably loves his residuals.

[niyad]

32. Saw him a few months ago when I started to look at some hallmark

or lifetime movie. Had not seen the opening credits. As soon as I saw herk the jerk, I clicked to something else.

[Initech]

5. Where the hell is this talking point coming from?

Desantis deliberately and intentionally did this to score points on conservative media, and reality is way different than what these douchebags are projecting. Just... the stupid... argh!

[GoCubsGo]

14. Right? Have yet to see ANYTHING he's describing here.

Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch. No right-wing propaganda video, not even the doctored version they so love to put out. Poor Kevy. His career has been reduced to parroting right-wing bullshit.

[Orangepeel]

34. They expected MV to be xenophobic because they are. Now they are just pretending they were right

they didn't bother to update the prewritten talking points because they lie all the time anyway

[TigressDem]

42. ALT kNEWS IE The Federalist Society. (Phony by line? Spelling too atrocious for a real reporter)

I don't delve into these spaces so it took a bit to find it.

REAL NEWS AND TWEET
https://www.npr.org/2022/09/16/1123369533/migrants-marthas-vineyard-community-help
BECAUSE the people of Martha's Vineyard worked WITH the army to find housing off the island itself and didn't put these 50 people up in someone's private vacation home the REICH is calling it a "DEPORTATION" instead of just a way they are working to help these people.

FEDERALIST is MIS REPRESENTING A TWEET
=== Samantha J. Gross@samanthajgross
Buses have arrived in Edgartown to transport migrants from St. Andrew’s Parish House.

There is one big bus and two shorter buses to transport folks off the island. People with bags are taking selfies and hugging volunteers goodbye

WHO HUGS someone "deporting" them?


NOTE:
WE KNOW St Andrew's fed and clothed them before getting them further assistance from the state and army. BUT THE SPIN IS:

Left-Wing Martha’s Vineyard Elites Deport Illegal Immigrants After Just 24 Hours
BY: TRISTAN JUSTICE SEPTEMBER 16, 2022

https://thefederalist.com/2022/09/16/left-wing-marthas-vineyard-elites-deport-illegal-immigrants-after-just-24-hours/


Busses arrived in Edgartown, Mass., Friday morning to ship out the 50 illegal migrants who arrived at the New England destination at Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday night courtesy of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

According to the Vineyard Gazette, the mostly Venezuelan migrants will be bussed to a ferry that will take them to a military base on Cape Cod. Republican Gov. Charlie Baker announced the activation of up to 125 members of the state National Guard to coordinate relief efforts for what local residents declared a “humanitarian crisis.”

[Catherine Vincent]

15. LOL!

[Pepsidog]

17. They are so fucken programmed they can't take the time to seek out the truth.

[Ligyron]

19. They assume much...

Which can very often prove to be fatal.

[ShazzieB]

18. What a jerk.

I didn't even know who Kevin Sorbo is, so I googled and found out that his main claim to fame is a 90s TV series that I also never heard of!

I also learned that he's a RW nutjob who thinks that (among other things) we should stop sending money to Ukraine to support their efforts to fight off the Russian invaders. Charming.

He also claims that he was "blacklisted by Hollywood" for being a Christian. Well, when you profess to follow a religion that's supposed to be about loving your neighbor as yourself out of one side of your mouth and spew hate out the other side you shouldn't be surprised that nobody wants to work with you, dude.

[Ligyron]

22. Those gawd is not dead movies were terrible.

Full of illogical nonsense and the ridiculous, oh so predictable stereotypes concerning Atheists.

Now he makes the same mistaken presumptions about the good people of Martha's Vineyard. Like his gawd beliefs, he never bothers to look for any evidence before shooting his mouth off.

[Bucky]

21. I'm not sure defeating Kevin Sorbo in a battle of wits can be considered an accomplishment

But I wonder if his twittering is gonna be the plot of his next Christian Identity movie.

"For you were hungry and I conned you, for you were lost and I shipped you off to Massachusetts, for you came to a foreign land and I falsified federal immigration documents in your name for a sick joke."

--Ron's Epistle to the Pharisees, 3:86

[Mr. Evil]

24. BWAAAHAAHAHAHA!

Ouch-O-Rama!

[Blue Owl]

27. MAGA-Himbo

[Jimvanhise]

30. A BIG TIME CHRISTIAN

Sorbo is a big time Christian who makes the God Is Not Dead movies, so why is he, like many conservative Christians, against the teachings of Jesus who, above all else, believed in helping the poor? Conservative Christians act like they hate the poor. Fox News has long mocked the poor, claiming that there is no poverty in America (the Census says otherwise) and that poor people are just people who have made bad decisions. When Bill O'Reilly was still on Fox News and PBS had a special on poverty in America, O'Reilly claimed that they were "just trying to make America look bad" but he couldn't challenge any of the facts in the program. When the UN released a report on poverty in America, Nikki Haley had a meltdown, claiming that the UN had no right to do that!

[Iggo]

43. Christians hate it when we do their job.
