I enjoyed the hell out of the first twenty minutes of How Did This Get Made's look at Sleepwalkers this week. June's absolute and emphatic refusal to acknowledge the incest relationship between the mother and son was hilarious. The rest of the episode was pedestrian, but for the moment when June decides that the…

*Sigh* …what I wouldn't pay for that yarn lion.

The worst part of Voyager was that almost all their great stories could have happened in the Alpha Quadrant with the barest of changes. I suppose Scorpion I + II are the exception. But that all their worst episodes were based on the inherently exciting premise that was ruthlessly squandered.

I am a firm believer that Discovery is going to be an unmitigated disaster BUT I don't believe that the setting has anything to do with why. Enterprise was awful, but it was because of the people running and writing the show more than the basic premise. The last season had some borderline great episodes. There's so…

I really don't know why Brian Michael Bendis keeps getting work. He's fucking terrible. You can't tell me it's because he sells a lot of comics. He writes Marvel's biggest books. Literally anybody could write Civil War II and have it sell well, literally anybody could also write a better story, dialogue, and message…

As long as it's not a 9/11 Truther allegory wherein they reenact classic scenes from the writer's childhood without any of the passion or ability that made those scenes memorable.

My favorite moment was when Paul was discussing how some programmers had figured out how to hack a moving car June's reaction was an immediate and genuinely alarmed "OH FUCK THAT!"

"Animal Farm" is such a cute book! Five paws way up!

What really gets to party loyalists in Vermont is that he rarely goes out to support Democrats in state elections. Not that they need it.

The idea of simulacra beings outlasting their creators is a practically a genre in post-war Japanese culture. There's also a lot of works that focus on the long decline of humanity in a vaguely sad and wistful, not non-tragic way. Often the subtext speaks to an idea that humanity has somehow outlived itself and is…

Edit: Ugh, this got away from me. TLDR: Pew and Jon are different, ethnic nationalism is dumb, and today's discourse is tomorrow's regret.

I don't know. I hadn't really picked up on anything like this until the election last year. Up until then he hadn't really been public about his political views and, I mean, you look at the crew of Brooklynites who produce his videos and I find it hard to believe that they would sign on to work with someone who openly…

Forgive me, because maybe I missed it, but has the show discussed who was supposed to be the original designated survivor? Kirkman was only chosen at the last minute because the President had unexpectedly dumped his initiative and was going to fire him. You have to believe that the original designated survivor was in…

Hi! It's nine months later! JonTron turned out to be an actual white supremacist! I don't have a point to make, I'm just really hurt and angry. http://gizmodo.com/popular-…

The comments section will not forgive *bugs eyes* or forgeeeeeeet.

I'd take all of season four of Enterprise (except the finale) over all but the highest of Voyager highs.

That's a good list, but I'd add The Visitor as essential viewing and Nor The Battle To The Strong as a personal favorite.

There are at least four characters in that list who would brutally murder Neelix after spending ten minutes with him.

Considering that it was originally going to premier in January and that it's now going to premier… sometime, that they've only JUST NOW cast their captain, and that it's coming out on CBS All-Access or, as it's known in the real world, Torrent and Malaysian streaming mirrors, Discovery has the makings of a legendary…
