Why don’t you just make the accusation that you clearly want to make instead of using weasel words to imply something.

Y’know, a number of people round these parts have accused you of being deliberately nasty for no purpose other than your own aggrandizement, and I was neutral on the topic.

I’m not saying we’re at the “Build a giant rocket, load all the men into it and shoot it into the sun” stage yet, but I’m going to need all my fellow dudes to seriously stop abusing women because I really do not want to be shot into the sun, and I’m getting more worried by the day.

Didn’t John Daly do this when he was transitioning from mostly bad with occasional flashes of greatness to a complete joke?

He just needs someone to sing him a song to cheer him up.

Right there with you. What few snippets I did see were just so off-putting that I was just naturally inclined to avoid anything he did. Three cheers for visceral, unthinking disdain!

the American flavour of conservatism/ libertarianism (which is where most of these guys reside in) is seriously weird to me

Yeah, I bet a lot of those scenes played much better when they were first written down in English. Though still not that good. The Klingon politics and intrigue were pretty rote at best.

That’s generally a good policy, but I just thought it was so funny to see someone complain about Trek’s social agenda, I couldn’t resist. It’s like complaining that there are too many spaceships or too many aliens on the show.

If it was a subtext that one could easily overlook, that would make sense, but Trek has been so famously progressive that it seems that one would have to be willfully obtuse to miss it.

Wait, that’s the part that bugged you? Star Trek has been about social justice from the moment Roddenberry pitched it to the network. If that’s what bugs you, I don’t know what franchise you’ve been following for the last 5 decades.

A really good editor could dump about 60% of S1 and emerge with a decent miniseries. But it wouldn’t be worth the effort.

She’s not, but Reg Barclay is in every scene. He doesn’t have any lines, he’s just lurking on the edge of the frame with a big smile.

Aberdeen hosting a museum to Kurt is like Vietnam creating a museum devoted to John McCain. Sure, the two things may be linked, but it’s not a good link.

Reminds me of the first weekend with dad after the divorce, and he decides to have “fun” with the kids by taking them fishing and then yelling at them when they don’t do everything perfectly and no I’m not scarred why does everybody ask me that?

The influential owners hated McCourt and they like (or at least tolerate) the Wilpons. That’s the essential difference in those scenarios. But I agree, the logic that led to McCourt’s ouster should apply here.

It turns out that Steve somehow barely survived the plane explosion, and then Doctor Poison was able to trap him. She then proceeded to do experiments that enhanced his strength and agility while also brainwashing him to be the agent of a dark organization that she was building within MI-6. And as to why he’s so…

If you subscribe to the multiverse theory of alternate realities, there may be an infinite number of teams in LA.
