It’s lazy and cowardly.  There is no “discovery” in this show at all ... just cheap storytelling and pandering.  I’m really trying to like it, and there are individual episodes I enjoy, but damn, it’s the Baywatch of Trek, and frankly, I think that might be insulting Baywatch (which new exactly what it was and wasn’t…

I’m really surprised at Zack’s positive response to this episode. I love Trek and have found a couple episodes this season to be very entertaining, but the stupidity and artificiality of this show is stunning. Did we really need a flashback to Leland’s dialogue from 3 minutes prior? Do the writers/creators have so…

I agree with everything in this review except for the comment on the fight.  THAT should have been longer and cooler.  

That one man can embody Uncle Phil AND The Shredder ... unbelievable!

I felt the same way as Zack re: the B.  It’s entertaining, big dumb fun, but that’s it.  I’ve said to my friends it’s the Baywatch of Trek: good-looking, shallow and nonsensical.  Which is a huge shame, since pretty much everything about his show is good except for the writing!

I actually had the opposite reaction to the civilian clothes!  At least they try to be interesting, and use various layers and shapes.  The clothes from TNG and DS9 were so boring, and totally unbelievable for such a diverse and wealthy society.

I’m so sorry man. I lost my mom three years ago; she was first in critical care, and then when the doctors determined there was nothing more that could be done, we moved her to palliative care. It was so hard; I don’t cry as much these days, but I feel like the tears are often just on the verge of spilling out.  Take…

TOTALLY AGREED!  And that one line when they were shooting Buddha targets, when he said something like “Everything is impermanent, including the Buddha”, was deeper than anything Danny Rand ever said.

Just want to say, excellent comment, I wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts on the “scumbag” comment and the office party.

You’re right, I don’t deny that all of us were going “Hot Rod, WTF??” when it happened. And I personally really don’t like the destiny concept and felt Ultra Magnus really got the short end of the stick; all of that said, the Autobot City survivors do owe something to the ol’ Rod for his slacking off fishing!

I am a Canadian corporate/commercial lawyer, and BCS has BY FAR the most realistic depiction of legal practice I have ever seen on TV: people sitting miserably in a dark room for days! Boxes and boxes of document review! Detailed inter-jurisdictional bank regulations! These guys know their shit.

This is true, but people also forget that Rodimus was the first to spot the Decepticons in the ship and begin firing, warning the Autobots about the situation and forcing Megatron to attack early. If that hadn’t happened, the Decepticons would likely have remained undetected until they landed the ship inside Autobot…

I tell all my friends that I absolutely like this show more than Breaking Bad. And not for the moral reasons others have discussed, but rather because this is, in my view, just a deeper and more insightful show. Breaking Bad was premised around a gimmick, and while it was excellent for what it was, in my view you…

Wow, that’s so on-point I wonder whether one of the creators was influenced, subconsciously or not, by that description.

Just wanted to give props to “tar-chick inception”!

That article is genius! I can’t believe how long and thought-through it is. Just beautiful. “It is hoped, Williams said, that such meta-retro recycling of older forms of retro may function as a safety valve to widen the retro gap.” 

I just want to say that I absolutely love the first TMNT, and I think it was the third movie I ever saw in the theatre (after The Three Amigos and Transformers). I’ve probably seen it 20-30 times, and I could easily watch it again right now.

And we also know he had/has a thing or Landry, the brown-skinned security officer who is still alive in the MU. All coincidence? We will see ...

Exactly, I was absolutely hoping that he would turn out to be a Mirror-Universe version of someone who basically stood for Starfleet/Federation values, but of course hardened by his life in the MU. But that last scene about the guy’s sister doesn’t give me high hope. Also, given all the MU sexualization, are they…
