The rage nerd on Harley Quinn a couple of weeks ago was clearly the straw that broke the camel’s back.

The space battle was amazing - beautifully animated and choreographed, it’s right up there with the “Glimmer’s become a goddamn laser canon” fight scenes of season 4. I was sometimes frustrated that the show held back on genuinely epic fights in the first couple of seasons, but that restraint made the later “leveled…

Honestly, in terms of writing and voice acting, I’d actually place it at better than Legend of Korra (and I loved LoK for both of those things, so I don’t say this lightly).

The main joke is that the Snyder t-shirt guy is huffy about the idea of watching Harley Quinn because it’s “a tsunami of virtue signaling,” but reluctantly agrees to watch this week’s episode because it focuses on Batman.

My aunts, who have been a lesbian couple for over 40 years, have a life-size Xena cut-out. Your argument is invalid.

High gas prices is one of the leading indicators that a president isn’t going to win re-election. Dead serious, I’m betting that this is his #1 rationale for tapping into the reserve.

I generally haven’t liked the in-warp effect they’ve gone for in Discovery and Picard, but this one shot is probably my second favorite depiction of a ship in warp I’ve seen in any Star Trek:

Even if that really is the attitude of most Krakoans (something I don’t think is supposed to be the case, but we’ll see), Magik isn’t like most mutants since her powerset doesn’t come exclusively (or even mostly) from her mutation. She’s the Sorceress Supreme of Limbo, maintaining a good relationship with Dr. Strange…

It’s not so much that they have a problem with each other in specific, more that Krakoan society has turned Scarlet Witch into one of their greatest pariahs:

It... might not be the best idea to put these two next to each other.

I’m constantly having to remind myself that there is a decent percentage of the population that views tomatoes only as an ingredient rather than food in and of itself. Even garden ripe tomatoes won’t convince them, I’ve tried that route and they still look at me like I’m crazy.

And the addiction issues were tropey as hell in every other Trek.

Don’t forget deciding to go whole hog into practicing what amounts to slavery. We saw over the entire run of TNG and even into Voyager the concept of artificial life still being considered life.

Sorry, but the baseball example is easily countered by any number of “depth of darkness” examples. This is the show where one of the writers’ main mottos was “O’Brien must suffer!” And Picard has plenty of goofy/fun moments.

The avoidance of drama for the core characters was an EXCELLENT device. It kept a focus on the science and forced writers to be more creative instead of relying on bad dramatic tropes.

RomCom Westworld is the Westworld I never knew I needed until now.

Or... Westworld is the retconned BSG ending. Just as the robot revolution is kicking into high gear, the Galactica jumps into orbit having finally found Earth.

There’s something so TNG yet also so 21st century about having a planet that’s gone full libertarian is defiance of the social democratic Federation. Gaudy as hell, casually murderous, and you literally have to fight off the pop-up ads.

One moment from Fall; or Dodge in Hell that really stuck out to me: the part where one of the young characters traveling through the paramilitary dominated portions of Iowa is confused by how many native Iowans talk like they’re from the South.

Yup, I came into Trek fandom at large the same day that my family got an AOL account (I’d been to a convention a few years before in middle school, but otherwise I’d experienced TNG all by my lonesome self up until that point).
