Holy hell, this was a cheese-fest.

Maria: “Bernardo, mi hermano, I don’t get why you hate Tony so much! What’s your problem with him?”

I mean, let’s face it - nothing will ever be more ludicrous than that turbolift fight from the S3 finale that seemed to imply Discovery was about the size of one of those overcompensating ships from an online space MMO.

or just have a story, i mean having budget idris find his place is fine but we all know that in a few episodes it will become clear that this is not a natural thing and its either an invasion or an old weapon gone rogue (like species 8472 or doomsday machine in ToS) there is no way this is space weather gone bad

Sounds like you’re a friend of De Soto’s.

I love Dorn’s performance, but all he had on was forehead ridges and nose ridges. His could act with basically his entire face that had muscles, except for making frown lines on his forehead. And since he had frown lines perma-printed on his forehead and was in a frowny mood all the time, even that wasn’t much of a…

I have two alternate theories on Jones’ role.

I wouldn’t say it was the worst in the series — I think Discovery found even lower depths in its second season — but this does feel like a point where the needle is now irretrievably stuck on the Sunk Cost Fallacy end of the “Reasons To Keep Watching” scale.

Like too much air in a balloon!

Honestly, they shouldn’t have to draw the line. I don’t think these guys should be ineligible, I just think that the membership and the nomination review committees should stop and think about what they’re doing when they’re advancing these nominations. The shame of this is on them.

It’s a self-congratulatory industry award that only exists as an excuse to air a 3-hour commercial for their top artists. They make their own rules and they can exclude whoever they want for whatever reason they want. They don’t even need a specific rule. They could just say “this person is disqualified because they…

Honestly hard to imagine how the Grammys could implement a system where they barred artists for such transgressions. As far as I know, Manson hasn’t been charged with a crime (though he faces multiple lawsuits) and Louis CK isn’t accused of committing a crime, he’s been accused of (and admitted to) sexual misconduct.…

I can’t for the life of me find a spoiler description of what this third episode twist was in the original series. Can someone provide a link?

Lower Decks is the rare Trek show where I actively dislike the main character. I found nothing likable or redeemable about her in season 1. I’ve seen comments saying she grew, especially in season 2, but I must have missed that where she blamed Boimler for taking a promotion to get on the Titan when she knew that his…

Everything is meaningless if you can just blow up everybody at any time,

Unfortunately we knew beforehand that Reno wasn’t going to be around much this season because Tig was isolated (with COVID I think?) during filming.

Cleon is an anagram of clone.

Then someone read his name sideways and got the idea for the GD.

Hoo boy. The last 2 episodes were pretty dang terrible in my opinion (everything except a couple of good Lee Pace moments). Plot holes, unearned melodrama, rushed storytelling, the fate of the universe resting on completely improbable coincidence. Bleh.

Pros: Genetic Dynasty, Hari AI, and cryo suspension of Gaal and Salvor are great concepts to keep familiar faces across such a long story. And there were some fine visuals.
