If there’s one thing NuTrek really, really needs to stop doing, it’s killing characters.

I know Raiders is largely considered The Classic, but I have always looooooved this movie. Like, one of my all-time favorites love this movie.

I enjoyed this episode okay, though it did feel a lot like setup. Also, I struggled to invest in the stakes when I know there’s no way they’re going back to war with the Klingons. It’s pretty much the same way I feel about Spock and Chapel. (And given how much I like T’Pring’s character, it kind of ticks me off the

Yeah, I’ve struggled a lot with 20th century science fiction. Some of it I absolutely love (2001, 2010, Ender’s Game, Speaker for the Dead) and some if it has been a real struggle for me to get through because oftentimes it’s way more idea-driven, to the point that even plot takes a back seat.

I found the first book to be excruciatingly difficult to get through by modern standards. Given that it’s a series of short stories, with no clear central conflict, and each largely consists of two people sitting in a room pontificating. At some points, I even thought they were describing events that would have been so

Or...could we please leave the Fox casting of X-Men behind and let Kevin Feige recast everyone?

Love Jonathan Del Arco’s shirt.

I love this movie unabashedly. It is the perfect end to the trilogy. It wraps up everything in satisfying fashion - Han’s rescue from Jabba, Luke becoming a Jedi (and Hamill is fabulous here), Yoda’s death, the destruction of the Empire, the fall of Palpatine, the redemption of Anakin.

I’m hoping that Animated Pike has really tall hair that subtly gets taller with each scene.

One of the most impressive and craziest things remains the fact that when it came to Oliver, Barry, and Kara, all of their casting literally came from the very first person that auditioned.

I mean, looking back at it now, it is pretty appalling the number of crewmembers that die on the Enterprise under his command.

I get why people are wary and skeptical.

If you’re an old-school Star Trek fan and you haven’t watched SNW, you are truly depriving yourself of something amazing.

You’re insulting Captain Pike hair??? And you dare to call yourself a Star Trek fan???

Agggh!!!! I’m so excited!!! Just be June 15th already!!!!

The death of Arrowverse and the ongoing struggles of the MCU really goes to show how hard this kind of thing is to pull off. And I think why it worked here (where others have failed) is because - like the MCU - it happened organically. They didn’t go in with the intention of spanning multiple shows across a shared

I get why people don’t like the execution of the Gul Dukat, Kai Winn and the Pah’Wraiths plotline. I find myself less bothered by it because I at least appreciate that the writers recognized when it was time to transition Dukat’s character into something else (starting in Sacrifice of Angels) and it makes a twisted

He got to imbue the character with a lot of subtly that was lacking in the prequels due to George Lucas’s directorial style. You really got to see the depth of his talent in a way we couldn’t in the prequels.

Unpopular opinion, but I loved the Obi-Wan series. I also thought it ended perfectly and didn’t need a second season, so I’m actually kind of relieved to hear this.

The lack of ‘The Expanse’ on this list is criminal.
