Well at least they’ve FINALLY figured out its not a parody series its an homage to Trek. Seriously the fact they took this long to figure it out leads me to think they don’t understand the show at a basic level. This is Seth MacFarlanes attempt to bring Star Trek: TNG to a new generation like he watched it as a kid.…

It really does feel like either io9, or just Beth, resent this show for existing at all, and that colors the response quite a bit.

Honestly its responses like this why so many shows stay away from stuff like this. Its ALWAYS a damned if you do damned if you don’t scenario for these shows, especially Network shows that have to appeal to a MUCH broader audience then New York or LA based entertainment writers.

Exactly. Beth should remember that while she might be well-versed on gender and trans issues, the average Fox viewer isn’t, and thus the show can speak to them as it would speak to her.  It is fine to point out where the episode could be improved, but this article just dismiss the whole thing as regressive crap…

Here’s a question for the harshness this show is being judge by....if Ed Mercer were played by Nathan Fillion would the critical world be judging this show so harshly? If MacFarlane’s name wasn’t attached, wouldn’t we be lauding this as a worthy but imperfect heir for ST: TNG? I say this as a fan of both. The show is…

I find the critiques of this show fascinating:

Frankly, I was surprised that it worked at times, especially given the lack of research into the issue of gender identity.

At some point in a gearhead’s life, we mature beyond the posters of supercars and top trumps specs, and realize that there will always be something faster, something more expensive, something sleeker. That’s when we turn into Torchinsky and start looking for weird instead of exotic.

I’ve always maintained if your critique of an adaptation is just “but this is how it is in the original”. Its an awful critique. Tell me WHY it’s that way and why not being that way matters. While I still adore the anime and manga, I loved a lot of choices the film made. Mia in particular is leagues beyond the useless…

I didn’t hate this adaptation even though I was told going into it it was on par with the Eragon and Last Airbender movies (*shudders*). It was very, very, VERY different which bothered a lot of fans, but a lot of the changes either made sense from a production standpoint (like making Ryuk visible to only one…

I was one of the people adamant against this game when it came out, but they really have improved it. If they had pushed back the release I think this could’ve been game of the year. The missions have structure, its rewarding to gain rep with factions and the graphics really do stand out.

If you were like me and…

Excellent article! This is my feeling on the game almost exactly. It has come so far in only a year. I can only think of a few games off the top of my head that had this much change for the better in such a short time. If this game would have launched today instead of one year ago, it would easily be one of the…

Starting the speculation train on Bran’s mystery friend! Logic would suggest Maester Wolkan, but I don’t think the hair length matches. Rather, I’m curious if it’s Howland Reed, Meera’s father and the only witness to Jon Snow being a Targaryen. He was at the Tower of Joy with Ned, as Bran saw in his vision. It would…

Already happened when I tried to preorder at GameStop today.

I was really hoping it wouldn’t be another Destiny/Warframe wannabe. Screw multiplayer co-op stuff. I want single player RPG’s. I want some Bioware in my Bioware games!

I wonder if him being on board for Justice League rewrites etc. - getting all Whedony on the script - was what led to him getting Batgirl in the first place.

The mystery Avengers: Infinity War hero will be........

Nah, I actually think this is what most players want. Current Destiny is a mess in terms of balancing, economy, leveling, and pretty much everything involving gear.
