If you like it, you watch it because you like it. If you don’t, don’t watch it. It isn’t that hard a concept.

I had to stop reading this review after you refer to Odis’s “twitchiness” and suggested that it needed to have relevance to the storyline. Why does the observable manifestation of OCD have to have a plot purpose? Does a character being left-handed, or brown-haired, have to serve a plot purpose?

“...and if that excellence also served to underline all the ways in which Star Trek: Picard is failing its audience”

“Consistently insightful interviews”? Like when he asked RuPaul - a cisgender man - if he is offended by the term “tranny”?  Yes, very insightful, this genius apparently thinks being a drag queen is the same as being transgender (I know a lot of drag queens think so too - but that doesn’t make it so)

I’m not sure why you think “most” aren’t enjoying it?  It’s probably because the writer of these reviews acts like he’s making objective observations about the show rather than just his own personal opinion. He clearly doesn’t like it - I’d say he doesn’t get it.

I might care about RuPaul’s political concerns as soon as he takes accountability for his history of horrible comments and attitudes towards transgender people. (I’m not holding my breath)

Yup, that is how the conversation went - it was pretty powerful

He makes up flaws, he doesn’t magnify them. 

You probably shouldn’t be reviewing the Seven of Nine parts if you haven’t watched all of Voyager - yes, Icheb was VERY important to her. The reason the person couldn’t find Icheb’s corticle node is that he gave it to Seven of Nine in an act that could have killed him, but because Seven would have died without the…

“...but for now, we just gotta be patient.”

I found this episode very disappointing, particularly the battle scenes. Battle scenes in this series have always been challenging to follow, but the director got in the way too much with his cut-outs to Bjorn and Ivar on the beach.

Yes to all of this! “There are worse things I could do” is one of the truly great musical movie moments, she acts the h**l out of the song!

So you’re hot for 24-year-old Travolta? Understandable, but the takes on “Grease” here are way off. First of all, Olivia Newton-John is who made the movie great, with Travolta in a second slot (would have been third if Stockard Channing had just a slightly larger role).

Should it have ended because you lost interest?

“In other words, the first question to be asked is, why take a property almost no one knows about—especially the target audience for this film, assuming they’re courting people under 40—and make a movie that seems to assume anyone watching knows what it’s sending up?”

I disagree that there was ever poor writing - one of my problems with many of the reviews on this site is that they treat each episode of a series as if it’s a stand-alone movie rather than a part of a greater whole.

I have to say that even though I assumed she was about to kill Aaron, I audibly gasped when she did it. This show does such a great job of building tension and with minor shocks (like when Villanelle killed the girls escort last week) - and humor. And all without dragons!!!

I miss the days when a Groucho Marx impression was a regular occurrence ::sigh::

“But she’s still careful to say things in her American accent that would also make sense to Aaron. Is she talking to both of them, or is she talking to Eve?”

“It’s representative of the overall problem weighing the show down right now.”
