Disingenuous.

Gaslight much?

Actually, darling, right now you’re paying attention to ME.

Let’s all stop paying attention to this idiot right now.  Turn and walk away like Picard and Worf turning their backs on the Klingon High Council.

Someone call Pixar.

I agree completely that they’re constantly making rolling changes to continuity.  I just think that if someone we know has created the Borg, it just seems ... thin, somehow.

I’d kind of like that if it were done with a light enough hand — so that those who enjoyed one wouldn’t feel compelled to watch the other, but with enough rewards for those of us who like both. If they do it too heavy, it makes it feel like all those comic book crossovers when you were a kid and you figured out they…

I’m beginning to think it’s more likely that the Romulans may be involved with “Control” from Discovery. We know that Control is capable of time travel. I think the horror Zhat Vash has of artificial life must come from having encountered it.

No, I’m totally with you on this.

A Quiet Place 2:  This Time It’s Quieter

Any Owl.

It was an entire season of Downton Abbey for me. I even enjoyed it, but I still haven’t forgiven Ad Astra.

This a million. I used to pass so many dreamy hours staring at their paintings in that one book. They evoked a sense of wonder in me that I can still touch even by just thinking about it. Hell, I even liked The Sword of Shannara because of them.

This is weird, because I’m always at other retailers’ sites and wishing they would be more like Amazon...

Prof. Bananas Goldsteinberg, if I could give you only one gift this season, it would be the gift of time to read those two books, because I’ll bet that reading back-to-back what King wrote more than thirty years apart would be really awesome.

It’s a good point that they did the Dick Halloran thing sensitively, though I really did prefer the way King had the mother calling Halloran in. I get, though, that they wanted to fuzz the line between movie-sequel/book-sequel.

I really recommend the book.  It’s a really thoughtful and sensitive piece about recovery.  I’m sometimes not as empathetic as I should be, but I left that book feeling like I had been given a pretty deep lesson on AA.  Not saying I own it or totally understand it, but that book opened a window into the struggles of…

You’re totally right. It was interesting how it affected her. I mean, she watched It and saw all kinds of kids munched up by the killer clown, but that scene was just a bridge too far. I followed her out wondering if I could talk her back in, but one look at her face told me the evening was done.

Does that mean that the child-torture scene that drove my wife from the theatre can be even longer now?
