Re: The Commonwealth, there’s something about the idea of a seemingly benevolent group of wealthy folks descending upon a scrappy little community that has survived on its own forever, taking it over, and proceeding to destroy it it in the most obnoxious way possible that is really connecting, though I can’t for

With guest appearances from two of his fellow vampires.

I think the biggest issue with Disco is that, if you’re going to go with a lead-driven series, have it be about the character and take it easy on all the wild space phenomena! It could have been a great show of someone trying to prove themselves and find their own identity in Starfleet, outside the large shadow of

I am grateful he didn’t lose his fucking mind like Bill Maher did once t***p wasn’t in office.

Hulu also announced the show, and thus the lack of DiMaggio, before he ever breathed a WORD about this.

For a really long time, too long probably, I watched Real Time, even though I disliked Maher. I figured that even if I didn’t agree with him a lot of the time, it was a good thing to have an outspoken libertarian pot-smoker booking out-of-the-mainstream guests for lively current events discussion, for sure.

Seriously t

This is a wild guess, but DiMaggio and Odenkirk are probably acquainted otherwise. Bob did voice spots on Futurama a few times, and his brother Bill wrote a bunch of episodes.

But also, if you’re doing a show and the voice of Bender calls you up to ask if you can give him a small role....you give it to him. You want

the world is ready for full penetration in a Star Trek film.

Bones’s breakdown over having euthanised his dying dad, mere days before a cure was found, should also go in the plus column.

“I am gonna start my own vampire coven with blackjack and hookers!”

It just baffles me that they’d decide to go back and remake what is almost universally considered the best Star Trek movie and expect it to be anything other than disappointing at best.

I’m a die-hard Trekkie but I’ve always been able to appreciate and accept the Kelvin movies as their own thing. I tolerate them in a way that I’m emphatically not able to tolerate Disco, Picard, and the other new TV series (give or take a Lower Decks). It helps that—real talk—the “classic” Trek movies are universally

I’m done.  I’m done even trying with this world. We deserve what we get.

I agree. The first one could have been trimmed a little and would still have gotten the job of establishing an alternate timeline done.

Maybe the plot involves cloning or transporter accidents??

I know what most Trekkies think of the Kelvin movies. I personally felt the first one was a bloated origin tale and the second one a big mess of disasterporn built around Cumberbatch as not-Khan. But Simon Pegg and Doug Jung righted the ship again with Beyond, which didn’t have any lofty ambitions besides just being

Sadly, less Anton Yelchin.

“Star Trek 4 will reunite Chris Pine, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Simon Pegg, and Karl Urban with the Starship Enterprise.”
