Fuck off with the anti millennial stuff.

Gag.

OK, maybe Nancy was ‘glamerous’, whatever the hell that means, but she was a truly horrible person. Jackie was ‘glamorous’ and Nancy wishes she had as much grace and charm as Michelle (or even the first Mrs. Reagan).

But best First Lady ever - hands down? Eleanor Roosevelt. If she’d been pretty, she’d be as revered…

No, I’d say it’s an accurate observation. Ivanka fancies herself a DC high-roller, even holding the paying position of Assistant to the President. Melania meanwhile spends most of her time fucking up historical dates on Twitter and being very obviously repulsed by Trump’s presence.

Funny, knock-off shit is what Ivanka seems to do best of all...

lol

When the president starts doing racist impersonations of Asian people, demanding everyone pay attention to them at all times, and says the absolute wrong thing at the wrong time, will Jack Ryan look at the camera and shrug?

I’m getting a lot of shit for something I didn’t say. I said reviews shouldn’t be written someone who hates the show - which is not quite the same thing as saying they have to be written by someone who likes the show.

I was wondering when someone would mention this.

It’s especially egregious after this episode, in which Saru gives that speech about living up to Federation ideals in a difficult context. That’s as close as a show can get to explicitly describing the show’s purpose without addressing the camera and somehow using each viewer’s full name. It’s been pretty clear to me…

This 100%, and the idea of different species cooperating has been at the forefront of the series since the first 10 minutes of the damn pilot. And not to pull out that card, but I feel like a lot of old school Trek fans (including Zack) are still kind of thrown off by the fact that this is one serialized story - this…

Yes, yes a thousand times yes. When Lorca says PU Burnam is more interesting than his, my wife yelled “ because she was raised by Vulcans. Multiculturalism bitch.”

Good points, all.

I can’t figure out why the reviewer is so insistent that this series must have a 10-words-or-less sentence which fully—and to the exclusion of anything else—describes what the show is about.

Kinja has something like a 15 minute window after posting where you can edit a comment. For some reason. Also never post anything you might want to delete later.

You know that ‘pendulum’ theory, about how American politics leans back and forth between liberal and conservative, and if you wait a while you’ll get back to a left-leaning public discourse that privileges minority rights and liberal causes? Yeah, turns out that’s bullshit.

Someone deleted the “Pick Up the Phone Booth and Die” entry? Philistines.

Glad that John got an early character retcon. Him being another Gordon wasn’t a good fit. And yes, his promotion to Chief Engineer (and lieutenant commander, at that) is similar to Geordi LaForge getting the same promotion on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (though I don’t think Geordi got a promotion in rank until…

Yes, what kind of ridiculous society embraces blue-collarism and chides, insults and often out-right ignores intelligent behavior and points of view?

Looks like we got another advocate for roofying people for the purposes of non-sonsensual sex. man, Orville fandom does seem to have a lot of these people rooting for it.
