So yall paying for CBSAccess or is there bootleg link?

So, this is a cool update of an existing background species. But why tf do we keep inventing new species? What’s the point of the prime universe if you aren’t going to show us key prime species. At the least, there should be an Andorian recurring character since they are charter members of the fucking Federation.

Looking forward to season 2. I know a lot of fans aren’t pleased about Discovery re-imagining the TOS era and want something truly new. I do, too. That said, it’s hardly surprising that CBS went with updating TOS for their first stab at a new Trek show.

Well. Depending on what the special’s numbers are like, there’s a chance that Adult Swim might revive the entire series. So, you know, here’s to hoping.

Today, Adult Swim announced that Harvey Birdman’s returning to television

TO BE PEDANTIC, I didn’t write that Bridgewater missed three years. But by the time the 2018 season starts, it will have been nearly three years since his last meaningful snap.

To me, this is the most unsettling part:

It’s also the “we’re going to walk out of here and you’re going to look like I didn’t just hit you so hard you fell down the stairs” victim-controlling dynamic.

It should have been multiple counts of felony battery that landed him in prison for at least several years. People get sent up the river for so much less than this and without indisputable video evidence. Why do a plea deal with him that doesn’t include significant prison time? You’re not going to have any problem…

Maybe not so much nonchalance but fear. Fear is what I see. She’s trying to go on like things are okay to keep from provoking him again.

The most unsettling part is how quickly he turns to assisting her. Picking up her purse, attempting to put her glasses back on. It’s that sort of, “I’m so nice, why do you make me do this?” behavior. The power dynamic of abusers is absolutely chilling.

For me, the reactions of the girlfriend really stood out to me, not that anything about it wasn’t shocking. Rather just her non-chalant reactions made it clear that she was completely used to him doing stuff like that, which is just chilling.

I trust Manning with his choice. He’s always had a HEAD for business.

I’ll have to try this out.

I admit I don’t think Trek V is bad. The resolution is awful, but I like it. The scene with Bones and his father is great, and the scene of Spock’s birth and Sarek’s reaction is amazing.

“God- I liked him better before he died!”

I like to think that Spock appealed to Kirk’s mind and Bones appealed to Kirk’s heart. Despite the fact that Spock and Bones clashed with one another frequently, they respected each other, and their loyalty to each other was unshakable. And even though The Final Frontier is rightly derided as it is, the campfire scene…

I don’t think Spock and McCoy hate each other. There are any number of instances where they confide at least a begrudging respect for each other. They got on each other’s nerves, yes; but just as often, I think they just liked to spar.
