Haha that’s great!

The second world war started when Hitler invaded Poland. Hardly “everybody saving their own asses”. This was many nations coming to the defense of one nation because they had promised they would. Many of the protagonists (like Australia and New Zealand) might well have had an easier time of it if they’d stayed out of…

David Thewliss is 54.

James Horner’s first full score.

But then just say “oh, nothing” and go home.

This wasn’t mis-direction, it was a cheap rug-pull.

Yoda and Kenobi’s voices in the audio was a big fucking flag wasn’t it?

I know right. Old white men eh?

I hope to go you never get jury duty.

Well they wouldn’t have had to say that if it had been the Guardian. It’s perfectly reasonable to give non-British readers the context that the Mail is a long-standing scurrilous rag.

These accusations should not be believed. Find me another source. The Daily Mail is British Breitbart for fuck’s sake.

Fair enough, although O’brien started out very American and got more Irish as the series went on, even though everybody knew him from The Commitments. I think the fuss about diverse casting will die down. It didn’t last long in non-genre shows, and eejits can only be outraged for so long :)

My comment was just a flippant remark, but: Agreed, previous Treks have had this trouble in spades. Nevermind the ethnicities, count the accents. Even the racially diverse characters have all been American. You have Picard, Scotty, Checkov and that English dude from Enterprise, and that’s about all the non-American…

There was a nuclear war though - maybe they fought it where all the brown people were. Wouldn’t be the first time.

This is journalism of the finest quality.

He did apologise before she offered money, and unasked.

If the US wasn’t such a shitty country to it’s citizens, dude would be entitled to some mental and physical healthcare. You’re all shitty to each other then complain when people are shitty. Christ.

It’s not even well-lit. Can you imagine if your own office environment was that brightly lit all the time?

I did wonder about that. Maybe the head-up displays they use only work in a relatively dark environment. If the room was over-lit like in The Orville, you’d hardly be able to see them.
