The History Channel did a documentary on the big Star Trek auction some years back. The guy who bought the USS Voyager model has so much other stuff in his collection that it is all jammed together in what appears to be a finished basement area (he says "down here" at one point). It looked more awkward than

That comment was like two weeks ago, and I barely cared even then.

This is the same Alex Kurtzman who directed 'The Mummy', keep that in mind. If he couldn't "get it right" with (what should have been) a simple monster concept like 'Mummy', what chance does the highly complex and oft-delayed 'Discovery' have?

He promotes mostly himself, in ways that don't significantly help the museum.

I have never stayed for credits, I have other things to go do. They only show them because it is union-mandated that they are shown.

Oh, I'm aware he's a self-promoter. I'd say it's his defining characteristic. It's like he thinks there are no other scientists who can talk to a camera. Tyson can let some things be handled by somebody else, no need to constantly weigh in on everything. With everything he puts on his plate, I find it hard to believe

It deserves better than a B-, either way, was the point I was trying to make. But you're right, I wasn't real clear.

Oh, I suppose so? Linguistic origins is admittedly not a strong subject for me.

"favour"? Texas is many things, but it ain't British.

No. Shant. I might not always agree with them, but at least their posts are cleverly worded.

TRON: Uprising's first season was likely already in too far along into the production process before it became clear that "TRON: Legacy" was a major disappointment for Disney. When Uprising failed to do better than Legacy, TRON as a franchise reached the end of line.

There's an edit feature. Also, a delete feature.

The commenting morlocks who hang around here claim you have to consider each AVClub reviewer's bell curve separately, which is so inside baseball considering how many other sources there are for this kind of thing.

We've been getting such as assfull of Mr. Tyson recently that practically ANYTHING he says sounds tiresome. Tyson seems like he's angling to be the next Alex Trebek (or something), but he's getting way overexposed.

Honestly even if the war stuff ends up doling out a large dollop of mindless fluff in comparison with gritty reality, I don't really mind. Gal Gadot seems so mesmerizing and fun that I'm looking forward to it, as are the numerable extended family members we've already made plans to see it with this weekend.

"not being a humorless jackhole" … "Get fucked". Sure, that makes sense. B to the lock.

(CTRL+F @ 70mm)… wow, you're right, that was some scattershot word vomit. Maybe 70mm is tuckered out from dealing with all those "immature child some men" all day.

You've got a "button hand"? Sounds pretty small, we talking "grew up in the Bronx" levels of tiny, or bigger than that?

If liking the AVClub requires knowing the different flavors of reviewers like an snooty lush "knows" about different craft brew labels, I'd really rather not. I'll just ignore, you can keep your off-base reviews.

For a long time, AVClub has taken criticism for grade inflation, although it's ESPECIALLY ridiculous in their TV reviews. So I can understand wanting to avoid having EVERYTHING graded as some choice of [A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-]. It's like they think C- is the absolute minimum they're allowed to give, and
