This rant is almost Trump-esque. “I’m not saying that Star Trek Discovery is going to be bad, but people are talking. Good people. I’m just asking questions.”

I recently decided to throw myself into the podcast world, trying a sample of this and that before proceeding myself. Dear god, I have heard SO many shitty podcasts. People rambling on for 3 hours about whatever topic is at hand, spending half an hour on the off-topic bullshit that nobody but your close circle of…

Mate, you don’t have to read about it if you don’t want to. Personally, I’m over the fucking moon that we’re getting a new Star Trek TV show at all, and while I’d have rather a sequel than another prequel, I’m genuinely excited for Discovery based on what we’ve seen so far.

Stating the obvious (an extremely limited audience = low ratings = short life span) is hivemindely tearing the show apart?

I’m a little lost on the Discovery hate-fest talking points. I thought the show was making too many changes from the old stuff. Now, it’s referencing the old stuff too much?

How about we actually watch the damn thing before putting labels on it?

I feel bad for all of you who are hive mindedly tearing the show apart without having seen it to get stars.

What precisely is your anti Trek agenda? Have the masters at Disney infiltrated io9?

So how is the show since all of you have seen it already?

Can we please, please, let this show get released before posting another criticising article.

I utterly loathed the candy-coated CGI fuckfest that was the end of GotGV2 and it’s...one of the reasons why the first is superior to me (not to mention the jokes-from-the-first-one-but-repeated-waaaaaaaay-longer, but that might be just me).

A: The book isn’t horribly long, especially compared to the tomes King tends to produce.

Can you, like, send me the episodes you’ve seen? I wanna make up my own mind on the show’s quality.

I knew it! Arg, felt cheated was initially excited to see Jamie Bamber again...

That could be...I remember trying to watch a UK scifi show on Netflix, Outcasts, with Jamie Bamber in it. I literally couldn’t get past more than 2 episodes. The issue had to do with the handling of firearms in the UK vs. the US—basically I could no longer suspect disbelief because it was so unrelated to our current…

That’s tough—one thing I want to point out about Iron Fist—while I don’t think anyone needs to watch the entire thing to be ready for The Defenders, I’ve seen a couple of folks comment that in order to understand the setup for the villainous organization of The Hand, it would be good to watch Iron Fist. For my part,…

Funny that you mention Luke Cage, the show. I actually liked his character on Jessica Jones, but I just can’t get into the show. I’ve tried watching it a few times, and can’t even make it through the first episode. There’s not any one thing that I can put my finger on as being wrong with it. So far, it’s the only…

I can’t help but wonder if the readily available access to porn and sex toys has f’ed the bell curve for guys. It seems that I meet more and more women, mostly in the 20ish year old age range, that fake promiscuity only to say something that exposes their actual lack of experience. And I’m saying this as an older…

Well no, not really. Suspension of disbelief is why these movies are entertaining in the first place. I know plenty of folk who won’t ever watch anything that isn’t ultra-realistic/gritty, and I feel like they’re missing out on some good old-fashioned fun, but there’s a difference between a universe’s inherent fantasy…

The problem, though, is that “good” and “evil” are pretty grey areas in real life. Audiences are more sophisticated now and are aware of this, which is why superheroes that seem to be ambiguously good and bad at the same time (Batman, Iron Man) have done so well at the Box Office.
