No Jax, don’t go! His departure felt somewhat final, though I hope it isn’t. The timing of Franz Drameh leaving the show an episode after Victor Garber leaves feels a lot like the show deciding to take this opportunity to acknowledge that Firestorm never really worked as a character due to being overpowered (for story…

Honestly, great to see more love for both Riverdale and LaToya. NuAV Club isn’t all bad, guys.

I guess that it was established last season that Veronica & Hermione have a relationship that when they are upset with each other they can get really bitchy. I really like Hermione so I would like her to be a little kinder to her daughter, but I can see that Veronica is not making that easy, and Hermione as much as…

Something which has bothered me to see from some of the more extreme fans. - declaring Discovery to be “trash”, actively wanting it to be cancelled and dismissing it as the worst thing in Trek history.

Sigh. Me afraid me have to agree. And me loved Zack’s reviews of earlier Trek series — they one of favorite things AVC ever did. But me very frustrated with Star Trek fans who not willing to let new show be new show and not retread of everything that came before.

I have a lot of respect for…

No, I’m saying every subsequent episode doesn’t have to be utterly devoted to it the way he seems to suggest. That Kirk can’t do anything but mourn. That’s not how we live our lives and I doubt anyone would expect to see it onscreen as well. If anything others, even people who care about us are grateful when we seem…

Just because Alex Kurtzman hasn’t figured out how to do it, doesn’t mean it can’t be done. The Inner Light is a stand alone episode. It’s never mentioned in any of the following episodes of ST:TNG. Except the flute is often seen on Picard’s desk and he plays it in a few episodes. We’re shown in very subtle ways that…

I Kinja’ed about this in another article about Discovery. Non-serialized TV was mostly a necessity back before Netflix and DVRs. Back then, if you missed an episode, you missed it. At least until it showed up again in a summer re-run or in syndication. Sure, VCRs have been a thing for a lot longer, but you had to…
