I finally watched it and more reasons to drag it:

Reasons I dragged this episode:

There’s a difference between critic & audience reviews on RT.

A YouTube video with nearly 900,000 views titled “Why Anthem Should Scare You | Has EA Destroyed Bioware?” just miiiight be the type of thing that the second-to-last paragraph of this article is talking about.

Tyson irritates too many people to be Sagan’s heir. Same goes for Bill Nye. Sagan was never as frelling petty as they can be.

Let’s also all remember that Max Landis was one of the original ringleaders of the “Rey is a Mary Sue” bullshit. It’s pretty amazing how much he and Josh Trank both managed to immediately piss away all the goodwill they got from Chronicle.

Holy shit.

Great job man! Seriously Jason. You do some of the absolute best investigative journalism not only in the gaming industry, but period.

You’ve officially cemented yourself as my favorite author on Kotaku since that last loot box article and this one makes me love you more.

Okay, some further editorial.

Loot crates have always been a moral issue that the industry (publishers, devs, journalists, influencers, and whoever else) has mostly ignore or dismissed and that’s incredibly screwed up. Even cosmetic focused crates, which don’t affect gameplay, use specific audio/visual cues and…

Hold up a second, are you trying to tell me an entitled, attention whoring gamergater is a lying hypocrite? I thought Cletus was a nice chap! How wrong we were

I did not make it through Janeway or Archer.

The people and their relationships matter, something that Trek really didn’t get into the way that they do here.

Whatever dude. Orville is Big Bang Theory level comedy, Discovery is damn fine television. The masses are idiots.

It’s a shittier version of something we all know and love, it’s invited the comparison and it’s paying for it. This is maybe as good as some of the clumsier seasons of TNG, and as such it’s getting the grades and the commentary it deserves.

Art without a point of view is kitsch.

What’s funny to me in this is that Harmon says he wants his show to be apolitical, which, like, is impossible? I mean, the idea that a work of art has no say in the ethics of reality and how the world should work, and has no impact based on the society it was created in is pretty dumb. I figure by “apolitical” he…

Serious question: Do you think we’d still be dealing with these issues if Rick and Morty were not white characters?
