I think it’s just because Kit and Emilia have so much less chemistry than any of the other pairings we saw tonight. Maisie and Joe have it in spades. Even Alfie and Sophie sold a surprisingly rich connection. I could understand Jon wanting to tell the truth before he dies, but he never makes that clear, and Emilia’s…

It is probably due to last minute rewrites. Originally, Hank was gonna be just as evil as he appeared, but the crew fell in love with his actor and didn't want him to play an evil bad guy, so scuttled those plans during the mid-series break.

Thank god there was no Internet when TNG aired. Discovery is great, and nit-picking it to death is lame.

Not gonna lie, I was hoping they were going to channel more of a Smokey and the Bandit vibe with Hank doing his best Buford T Justice trying to chase down the Legends. So yeah, I’d agree, it was a fine episode, but compared to what the show can do it felt a little lacking.

I was kinda disappointed in this one, especially since it’s the first episode back and on April Fool’s. I’d give it at best a B-. I kept pausing it to check my phone.

- Mona is awfully mobile for someone who had her stomach stitched up.
- There sure are a lot of white people at that Mexican match.
- It is...EL SANTO! Or at least his non-copyrighted stand-in.
- Zari...and Nate? Ewwwww. Do not want. DO NOT WANT. DO. NOT. WANT.
- Ava, I’m laying this at your feet. She told you that she…

Same, I actually thought this episode was alot stronger than the others, even without Mad Sweeney and Laura in it and who I think have the most interesting plotline. There’s still too much talking in the episodes, I think, and that does drag the pace down, especially when they’re talking portentously, but I really…

I thought this was pretty decent. I can’t believe they gave reviewers the first three episodes ahead of the season while leaving this one, probably the best of the season, out. The open was as good as half of Season 1's Coming to America sequences, and somehow, it made me care a bit about Technical Boy.

Huh. I guess I’m in the minority. I enjoyed this episode every bit as much as I have the rest of the season. (Though not quite as much as last week’s, which I thought was a real series high-point.)

Looking forward to season 2 of The Tick, season 1 was so much fun.

Every time I see pictures from Amazon’s “The Tick” I’m all excited and show my wife and say “That’s the guys from the podcast I like!!”

Nice, been waiting for the next season of Bosch.

That climax was really tense and epic. I quite enjoyed it. And Grace being the new Cicada (revealed in the Inception episode) flew right over my head - I only knew it was coming because other commenters here guessed it. All the same, I think it’s a pretty solid twist that was handled really well here.

Ralph and Cecille.

It isn’t made abundantly clear, but I think Gaiman’s metaphilosophy in this is that a grand, corporate indulgence isn’t “magical,” it’s capitalistic. Whereas seeing something like the largest ball of yarn in the country, put together and cared for, for reasons defying understanding is a binding place that someone felt…

“The” critique that she is is lazily written—unbelievably incompetent
just for the sake of being vulnerable and therefore sympathetic (which I disagree with, in any event)—is not Zack’s critique. He likens her to Wesley Crusher, who was never likable at any point in time.

I don’t need to be paraphrased. I said exactly what I meant.

I have to say, I’m far more likely to stop reading DISCO reviews on the site than I am stop watching the show. Handlen just isn’t paying attention to the show, picking out bits he doesn’t like and ignoring the things that either frequently explain what’s going on (like the bit last week about Starfleet offering to…

That’s the weird thing... Nothing in this show is new and it’s all derived from cliches. But wow if I didn’t fully enjoy it and come to really like the characters.
