Oh definitely! Funny enough, the one part of the show where I think she sounded most like Shepard was when she voiced a firefighter at the beginning of the second episode.

I don’t think there’s any particular reason why the show would need to keep its original premise forever; the whole “Star Trek, but focusing on just low-ranking officers and the shitty jobs they have” thing was a fun premise, but eventually you run the gamut and either start repeating yourself, or stop, or change the…

God, Paramount is just setting fire to the whole Trek franchise all of a sudden, huh? Discovery is cancelled (it was not intended as the final season, though some last-minute reshoots in the last episode were done to make the ending more conclusive) Lower Decks is cancelled, Prodigy is cancelled and shipped off to…

“We live on a spaceship! Nobody is dying from a spear wound!”

This sucks. It’s been my favourite star trek for a long time! But I guess hard to keep it going when they keep promoting the lower deckers.

BOOOO!

The thing is, there is a clear hunger among TV viewers for a traditional 22-26 episode season every year. The prestige model of a dozen or fewer episodes in what amounts to a kind of longform movie was always an alternative to the old model, not a replacement. This approach yields a lot of filler, of course, but it…

Comparing a 5 season run of a full linear tv season to a 5 season run of 10 episodes a season streaming service is apples and oranges though. We should be talking about episode count not seasonal arcs when it comes to Lower Decks. Without the filler episodes there’s not a lot of time to breathe and adjust to the…

Enterprise got cancelled after four seasons. I’m a pretty die hard Trekkie and it wasn’t until the fourth season where I thought they really took off. If they had started that way I’m sure they would have gone 7 seasons.

That may be less Rogue’s ostensible power level and more the kind of story being told now, and the intended audience. The Saban cartoon from the 90s was bloodless in the way GI Joe and Ninja Turtles was, all lasers and exploding robots with few to no depictions of actual physical harm on human beings, aside from…

I was floored after that episode. Just sat there in silence.

I dream of a world where that guy can have a job and grown-ass adults choose not to read his work instead of whining about it.

Holy cripes.

More Nightcrawler is desperately needed.  Being patted on the head by that one guy was insulting, though.

Same. I saw non-spoiler exchanges from friends before I watched it on how “it just went from 0-100", but even that undersold the impact of the last ten minutes or so.

I look forward to Death Gambit coming to face to face with Rogue. Remember, Apocalypse started by trying to “cure” Rogue in TAS before Worthington shows up. There’s a reason why she’s front and center here. It continues her journey. 

I remember when people would say things like “You can’t just do Dark Phoenix in a single film, it has to be set up over multiple films” and then this series is doing huge multi issue arcs in less than an hour and sticking the landing. Turns out, you can do streamlined adaptations of famous X-Men stories, you just have…

That was quite an exit he made, wasn’t it? I wish there was a little more to defeating the sentinel than that, but it was still a great send off.

Fantastic episode, and best one of the series so far. I wish they spent a little less time in Westchester w/ the Scott & Jean drama because it was so cool to see the Genosha / Krakoa hybrid - especially with Pixie and Madrox (two of my favorites) with brief cameos.

I think I speak for everyone who saw this episode when I say...
