This was the futuristic stuff after the movie, so by that point Starscream was gone and it was the characters like Ultra Magnus and Kup. I don’t remember if they actually interacted with Cobra Commander or not though, because he was a shady arms dealer, and at the end of the episode he escaped off into the night.

This is extremely nerdy, but an episode of the 80s transformers cartoon had cobra commander as a “secret” crossover, and that blew my mind as a kid.

That is all I could hope for.

Dear snowpiercer,

I always kindof wonder what star trek would have looked like without Wrath of Khan. Because it and Master & Commander are just Hornblower remixes.

It’s the best Star Trek movie, after Galaxy Quest.

It's a Bond movie for tax accountants.

I finally started watching the first season of this, and it’s great. It’s too bad that it feels like it’s been mostly lost in the popculture landscape, especially when The Great (which was also great) got so much buzz last year.

With the diehard stuff in the previous episode this actually felt like a 2-parter to me (or even a 3-parter, since all of the nebula stuff started in the episode before that)

I didn’t know that about Endless. I really liked Spring, and then Endless left me a little cold (like something I should have liked, but just didn’t really) so I might need to give Resolution a try.

I just really don’t want season 4 to be all about the long journey of them learning to work together as a crew. This show has already done that 3 times, and it’s time to finally get to the fireworks factory.

It’s one of those things where we’ve tried “The Micheal Burnham Show: featuring Guest-Captain X” 3 times already, and it never really works. A 4th season with Captain Saru again would be pretty much doomed to have the same problems that this season had.

And maybe covid-travel-related, depending on the shooting schedule?

I was joking about that last week, because Ina got a few lines, which was more than characters like Bryce or Rhys got.

And they all got blown up 5 minutes after possibly being beamed into space anyway, so Zack’s question is moot.

I thought the Jeffries tube venting was silly, but little did I know what the writers had planned for the turbolifts in the finale...

...and if I had a wish, it’s that next season they do a bit of a timejump for Burnham like they did with Kirk in Star Trek Beyond.

Yeah, I didn’t love it, but I also don’t think I hated it.

And next season: Lt. Ina died on the way back to her home planet.

Michael as captain is bad.
