But you come on here and post dozens of comments. We don’t care what you think of Katharine. Vote with your feet.

Then argue your points instead of continually attacking her and trying to get her kick off her review beat. Or better, go to the av club forum.

They are different, I think the AV reviews are watching it more as an individual TV show and the io9 reviews are more for people that watch it as part of Star Trek.

I’m not sure how fixable the problems are with Discovery. The problems really stem from the characters and cast, and the massive decision to not make an ensemble show. Repairing that would almost require just starting from scratch. Would the actress that plays Burnham ever agree to a massive salary cut and cut in…

That’s kind of the whole point of Star Fleet, the best of the best of 100 billion people that all have access to education and opportunities that would make Norway blush. Elon Musk would be a janitor in Star Fleet.

The problem is that the LAST thing NASA wants to do is start publicly debating flight assignments. There are a ton of factors and a large number of qualified people that all desperately want to go. Sometimes they pick people because they might do some mission several years in the future (I had a friend who was a Md /…

I have no idea, but I would be shocked. NASA - especially at the Astronaut level (I have a friend who went up in the shuttle years ago) - is a pretty damn progressive association. My guess (which is neither better or worse than anyone’s here) is it is something completely reasonable but private and she will go up in…

It would be great to show Coulson, but too hard to explain his death away for people that didn’t watch the show.

You know that Felicity would have morphed into Alias, if JJ had had a little more power at the network at the time.

I’m actually on the flip side: I think it would be so impossible to fool even today’s medical tech that the only way to do it would be to just go for appearance and find out a way to not get scanned (or hack the scanner somehow). I feel like that was the solution in TOS. Even a simple tricorder scan would be able to…

You know, I just realized that Tholian Web took place after Mirror Mirror. So if The Defiant had the logs of the Enterprise, it might be enough for the Mirror counter-part to replicate the transporter accident. That would be a nice in-cannon solution for how Lorca got there.

Hello fellow dinosaur! I remember that board fondly too!

Although, funny enough, it’s mostly been used as a joke about the quality of writing (“The only way this would make sense is if he’s from the mirror universe!”)

Tyler/Voq was just a stupid casting mistake (if they had cast two different actors it would had more no different for the show and it would have made it much harder to guess). They even tried to cover it up, but failed miserably.

The computers on a constitution class ship (the Defiant) would have more than enough information for the Emperor to know this.

Michelle Yeoh is too expensive to be a regular.

It’s bad enough that Bunham is even allowed to roam freely on a ship. If it ends with her as Captain then internal cannon (I’ve already given up of cross-show cannon) has left the building. You don’t even recover mutiny that causes dozens of ships getting destroyed.

At this point I assume the Discovery is going to blow up at the end of the season and the last shot will be Burnham in a shuttle, off to doom another crew.

Really, I didn’t catch that. That doesn’t make much sense, Discovery was suppose to be going back home and would have been much faster than any shuttle. But, oh well.

I came from the opposite direction (avid long-time io9 reader). And I must admit, it’s irritating the av club now gets to do the sci-fi show reviews. io9 was a great resource for it. But Gawker never understood or had any love for io9.
