HAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!  I’m stealing that.

Really wish someone other than Joanna Nelius was reporting on this.  She has a clear antipathy toward Apple.  Not saying that Apple is beyond reproach, but Epic is being horrible as well.

Can anyone explain to me why Adam Sandler still gets to make movies?

I’ve rewatched TNG recently and honestly, I can’t stand him. That being said, Wil Wheaton seems like a decent fellow since he put on a few pounds. If they could swing a show with him not being a super-annoying whiney little turd, I’d watch it. It would be hilarious if the Traveler grew sick of him and we catch up with…

You optimist!

“In what could possibly be described as a brilliant antitrust set-up...”

If only more people would follow Ashok’s example.

Nah. I don’t care all that much about whether the sets/props/costumes are modern or not. I grew up watching Doctor Who in the 80s and you can’t get much more bargain basement than that. Also, I thoroughly enjoyed Starship Exeter, a fan-made project that captured the look and feel of the original series perfectly.

And as annoying as Wesley was, I’d sooner watch a show based on his adventures through time and space then relieve the several hours I spent trying to like Discovery.

That is so strange. I guess imitation is a form of flattery. Or, you know, a step in the direction of going full Glenn Close and boiling a rabbit.

To cover up how miserably it fails at actual storytelling?

Indeed.  Someone in the pitch meeting said “We need to do a Game Of Thrones version of Star Trek!”  So very, very, lame.

This wasn’t my experience, but you enjoy that overly broad brush your painting with. We don’t hate Discovery because it is new. We hate Discovery because it is bad.  So.  Very.  Very.  Bad.  It makes Lexx look like Shakespeare.

I did and it is a horrible flaming diaper traveling at impulse power.

Not even close to true.  Nice try though.

I’m not privvy to his comment history, but the comment above seemed to be well reasoned.  I don’t see any problem with his critique.

Why?  He raises valid points.

Not as irritating as the characters/writing/everything else on Discovery.

Indeed. Or as I like to say:
