He was talking about the fucking logistics of the release, being an experiment. Nothing the fuck at all about the movie being the first Asian MCU movie or whatever the fuck Liu started into. Holy shit.

Yeah, that’s the point of the character and her story-arc. Her friends get fed up with her and her nonsense and even Jack Quaid’s character leaves and ghosts her once he’s on a new starship. Even the nicest character, the Orion woman, is upset with Mariner’s holodeck episode that relies on her being a ethnic…

The Enterprise theme song callback was the longest and hardest I have ever laughed at Trek.

Am I missing something?

Maybe we could sway your opinion with a movie about St. Vincent disappearing up her own ass?

Yes, you’re missing the fact that the Mariner who is trying to kill her friends and mother on the holodeck KNOWS it’s a holodeck simulation, and that she is eventually attacked and thwarted by a holodeck-modeled simulation of HERSELF, a holographic version of herself who believes the danger to be real. It is an apt…

My two sons have had a lot of tolerance and even some love for the old shows that Dad used to watch. But I have not been able to get them into Star Trek generally; they have tried to watch TNG and DS9 with me, but mostly end up politely bored.

When this show debuted, I never would have thought that it would become my favorite Trek show currently on the air. But here we are. The season 2 premiere was great. I hope the show keeps it up.

I was worried Lower Decks would turn out to be nothing more than Star Trek: Rick and Morty but it’s been a pleasant surprise—arguably the most recognizably Trek of all the streaming-era Trek shows. (Funnily enough, fellow pseudo-sitcom The Orville is the only series that gives it a run for its money in that regard.)

Counterpoint: “wacky hijinks involving obscure aliens and nerdy callbacks from previous Star Trek shows” is precisely what I want from a Star Trek cartoon, and Lower Decks’ affection/reverence for the canon at least puts it a cut above the other NuTrek series.

Yeah, I get your complaints, and as an old-school Trekkie there’s no denying that ‘Lower Decks’ takes the lore in an unclear direction - but at least it’s entertaining and funny at times, definitely compared to the uninspired, character-demolishing dreck of ‘Discovery’ and ‘Picard’. From what I’ve heard and seen about…

I’ve only seen her in Strangers on a Train and Psycho but she had a nice screen presence. 

That factor is one of the reasons that I have a higher regard for TMP than the general consensus seems to. It’s about exploration and discovery, and plays like a good episode given the big-screen treatment (since, uh...it kinda was, what with the plot of ‘The Changeling and all). It just needed better costuming (those…

Optimism, exploration, intelligence over brute force.

You know, I’m not a super huge fan of Trek - but what I want from the series? Optimism, exploration, intelligence over brute force. Pretty sure “Gangsters” is about 4,672 on my list.

If he died “a few months ago” following a “lengthy” hospital stay, would he even have been eligible for a vaccine before he fell ill?

It’s all an excuse.

These same people will walk into Wal-Mart and fill a buggy with a bunch of non-FDA approved supplements, then get absolutely plastered on the weekends (not judging that, because I do too), and then to round it off, have awful diets and don’t exercise.

Yet now they want FDA approval because the…

“White further confirmed that his son had not been vaccinated for the virus.”

And if you’re waiting for FDA approval, congrats, Pfizer should get it next month.

GET. VACCINATED. NOW.
