The internet has made Trolling Cats of us all.

Dax's rager is the closest thing to a real party in the entire Trek franchise, and a talent show still breaks out.

As of last week I thought for sure the machine gun was for the Schwartzes, with Walt's death to follow but everyone else relatively untouched - one last expression of his ego, and a completely futile one, seemed the right way to go out. But that wouldn't have really been fair to Jesse, who suffered enough.

When Jesse was slowly strangling Todd I was clenching my fists, holding them up like I was doing it myself. That was some satisfying shit.

I always assumed battles are not drawn to scale in Trek/Wars/B5. That solves every question. Unless they start mentioning distances on the bridge. Then they're full of crap.

Isn't Vulcan like 1 hour from Earth? That would basically be curtains.

@jerodast:disqus But the Prophets come to Sisko, not the other way around, and open by saying that Sisko can't die here because destiny and whatever, all of which is critical to their plan. It's not like Sisko's plan was to go in there and ask them for help. The Prophets initiate contact, they have an objective, and

The only times the tweeness really gets to me is basically any time they do something with a choir. That business with the shrimp choir just about killed me.

Man, I didn't like Into Darkness much but it is way, way better than Nemesis.

It doesn't make any sense that there's a cost in the first place, or at least the most you can do with it is say the Prophets work in mysterious ways, so best not to examine this one too much.

It's surprising that they've never done a bigger battle since. Even the Abrams movies always come down to the Enterprise slugging it out with a single other big mean ship.

…possums…

There will be absolutely no battles of any kind. Nothing to see here.

The Wire is a truer show, but not a more dramatic one. Drama needs agency, and the whole point of The Wire involves undercutting characters' agency regularly. It's the story of a system, and a very convincing one, but for a raw emotional gut punch you need characters that are tearing up the universe all by themselves.

Fan-fictiony is the only adjective Enterprise needs.

I didn't think in the moment that Walt was putting on a show for the cops. After all the rationalization he's done throughout the series, one final self-righteous explosion isn't much of a stretch.

Breaking Bad ruined my shit so much that watching something as dull and dopey as Dexter sounds positively refreshing.

I love how Walt's attack on Skyler is the anti-Skyler arguments. Verbatim.

IGNORE ME!
