yeah, i didnt understand if it was really happening and he actually travelled in time, or if it was a dream/holodeck type thing.

Pike’s mistake was that by writing to those cadets no one, including him, was in that engine room when the radiation leak happened, but it’s not Maat’s death or survival that shapes the future. It’s Pike’s. Perhaps we’ll see Pike on that final mission, and he does something that saves Maat at the last second, while…

I just need a moment here to fanboy over a huge tease that NEEDS to be mentioned: “I’m an engineer, not a miracle worker!”

I really disagree - I didn’t find it boring at all. I’m sad it was cancelled as although it was far from perfect (agree with the above poster about the less well developed subplots) it’s still just great to have science fiction genre shows that also try to be ambitious with their drama quality. And it was just…

I accepted the plot armor for the van wholeheartedly, though I too went, “HOW many miles did that van just cover?” They’ve got enough to worry about. 

Really good episode. Some of the dialogue, I was repeating word for word from BOT, and my wife looked at me like I was nuts.

But they screwed up the Ortegas/Stiles character. Lt. Stiles has a reason to hate the Romulans in Balance of Terror, it is understandable his family fought in the war. However, what they did…

I would! There are some amazing heartfelt movies about old folks and their relationships: Tokyo Story, Make Way for the Future, The Straight Story, About Schmidt, etc.

Maybe my comment is more appropriate for Jalopnik, but my biggest complaint was the dependability of the Surfer Boy Pizza delivery van. Speaking from experience as the owner of a 1980s VW product, there’s no way that van would have been able to drive across the west and beyond without breaking down every few hundred…

Brian’s Song. Epic tearjerker. 

Caan was pretty much typecast as a tough guy and Misery showed that he had range.

It’s mainly Kathy’s show to be sure, but favorite movie of his has gotta be Misery.

OK, so this “take an interview from GQ/Vulture/Esquire/etc. and break it out into 4 different Newswire articles” is new right? I mean just about every media puts up an article about another outlet’s original coverage...but I don’t remember this place going back to the same well quite so often.

yeah, it was sooooooooooooo boooooooooooooooooring

I haven’t seen this yet, but I still plan to. (Truthfully I had lost track of it being a series and in the back of my mind I think I thought it was a movie.) Simmons and Spacek are a dream team, and honestly now that I know there are finite episodes (even if they didn’t end it when they wanted) I’m probably more…

This is why each season should tell a story. It’s fine to leave some threads dangling in case you get a second but when the first season is only an introduction and doesn’t finish anything at all, this is what you get. If you are a creator with what you think is a pretty good story, don’t you want to tell that story?

Ah, this is a bummer. Simmons and Spacek were amazing in it, but I can see why some people couldn’t latch onto the show. It was nice seeing an older couple like that on screen that wasn’t there solely to act as a plot point for other characters. That being said, I wasn’t interested in the other characters nearly as…

I mostly agree. He got a small redemption arc, but I would argue it wasn’t enough to make him likeable. Just enough to make him a little sympathetic and for the audience to feel a little sad at his death. (🙁 sad, not 😭 sad.)

Trademark and domain squatters are such garbage people. On the other hand, hey, good for them.

Facepalm at calling Berbers “Arab” while you’re writing about cultural sensitivity.

“while the victim is poor and Arab”

“Abdellah’s community of stoic Berbers”

Your review conflates these two communities.

Arabs and Berbers (Amazigh, to use their self-designation) are two different ethnicities.
