Why is this a Star Wars lesson? You don’t need to look further than Star Trek to learn the same lesson. They had three shows going at once, at one point. Burn out is the reason Star Trek went on a TV hiatus for more than a decade.

It’s not racist, but it is pot kettle though.

It’s not racist to have majority white staff. And it’s not sexist to have all male directors. Now, it is racist not to hire people of color because of their color and vice versa for people of different sex. I don’t necessarily agree with Rife’s logic here, but if we could make a list of talented amateur pop culture…

...that was my point.

You’re not wrong. I think more diversity of voices would be great. But what do you suggest to get us there? Forced diversity seems insulting. How do we create this equality of opportunity without legislating equality of outcome?

Was apprehensive but excited when I heard the reboot was going ahead. Saw the CW trailer a while back and thought it looked... just awful. After reading this review I decided to give it a go and was VERY pleasantly surprised.

I’m still calling him “Slim Charles” from The Wire days, but even in a limited role here, Anwan Glover’s line reads are great as Leon.

I guess I’m about to be that girl, but fam its BAD.

I really loved the original Charmed, so I tried not to spend the whole show comparing the two. I want to like this - I like the scientist angle a lot, and while it crammed a lot of plot (maybe too much?) and two demons into an hour, it was still fun.

Chibnall, rather than the woman Doctor was always my worry coming into this season- remember, this ws the person who wrote Cyberwoman...

I don’t understand why this upsets you so much, clearly Candy is her pseudonym. It’s her working name/screen name but not her personal name. The pimps and sex workers call her Candy but her business partner, Harvey calls her Eileen in every episode.

My fresh-out-of-the-oven take: I’m not sure I care about character work on the show. OK, I care about it a bit, but I tire of the need to give every companion an emotional arc, especially such obvious ones. I know they’ll develop the whole Ryan-Graham thing over the series, but part of me just doesn’t care. It is…

So, um, Chibnall is surprisingly weak at dialogue and storylines or am I just too used to Moffat’s twisty narrative? I feel like barely anything happened in the episode, that there wasn’t really any narrative drive, everyone was just going where they were going and then they just got there. (Like, what was the point…

I have to say, so far this new format isn’t working for me, and it’s not helped by some very mediocre, on the nose, writing that, at the same time, fails to land any punches. Also, those robot things made a Storm Trooper’s aim look good.

“...but it steeps that story in themes of power dynamics, gender, consent, and social justice.”

That’s one small ‘nope’ for man. One giant ‘NOPE’ for mankind.

What the heck were they thinking? I watched live and I wanted to give it a shot but...🤔

I thought this was ok, and this is coming from someone who has never seen an episode of the original series, so I’m not carrying any judgements of what I think the show “should” be.

Given the theme of the season, I guess my question is basically can we forgive? Hell, should we forgive?

Obviously this season was inspired by things like the #MeToo movement, with specific nods apparently to Mel Gibson and Harvey Weinstein. I tend to fall in the camp that Mel Gibson has done a course correct and…

This was a good, not great season, and I think the show is in danger of running out of things to say unless something changes. Here’s my complaint, understanding that this may be an intentional choice on the part of the creators: For five seasons we’ve seen BoJack examine emotional poverty while living in outwardly…

I disagree. BoJack has made progress over the course of the series and it’s showing. The problem is, he’s still on the emotional level of a teenager who learned everything about life from TV. And while he internalized that lesson - as evidenced by his speech in “Free Churro” - he never truly examined what he should do…
