Oh please stop. Just stop. TNG has ended. It has had a gazillion farewells. Just stop! You already had TWO different sendoffs featuring the noble adventures of the Enterprise-D ending in the cast sitting around playing poker. When will it EVER be enough for these people??

To be fair, going against direct orders from an Admiral, stealing a ship and taking it behind enemy lines, turning out to be justified in the effort, and then getting little more than a slap on the wrist from higher powers, is practically a Star Trek tradition.

Right now I don’t really care about the logistics. I’d just prefer they went more the route of The Good Place (remember ‘Chidi’s Choice’?) where they bypass the entire silly love triangle, have the women become friends, ditch the man, and let everyone move on.

I would love if they just killed the whole love triangle by having Chapel and T’Pring become friends. It would be such a refreshing change of pace, and do so much more for all three characters involved.

The Spock-Chapel romance tension is similarly doing a disservice to her character as well. Instead of expanding on the very little we got from TOS, and playing more into the hints we’ve gotten about her own prodigious career, her most significant story material has been about being in love with Spock.

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???
