1989's The Abyss wasn’t exactly a hit either and the underwater scenes so traumatized Ed Harris to the extent that he refuses to talk about them to this day. And that’s from a guy who has experienced a lot of physical discomfort while filming, so hardly a fragile flower. Apparently, it is just incredibly lucky that…

Holding your breath for that long is ludicrously dangerous and there’s no way the on set safety staff or insurance people would actually allow that.

All this work for a movie that a lot of people don’t care about.

The last episode was the best Star Trek movie since Undiscovered Country, and they managed to pull that off in under 30 min. 

Please let’s not work to reignite Sorbo’s career. He is bad enough with the insane Right Wing “conservative” crap he spouts, he doesn’t need the wider audience of an actual working actor.

A great example of that is the episode where Mariner creates a Trek movie on the holodeck. It began with the trumpet-forward score playing over credits on a starfield, featured full-on phaser disintegrations in a way the films only do and had the minute long ship flyby.

I really enjoyed it.  There was at least one moment each episode that had me in stitches, even when I wasn’t laughing out lout I was enjoying the jokes, and it stayed on the right side of laughing with Trek instead of at it.

It was really good, and got much better as it went along. I liked it a lot.

100% agree. Still, the gang’s way too busy doing episodes of anything Arrowverse related, the ST:D shitshow, and, I guess, Great British Bake Off (seriously, what?) to cover Lower Decks.

Beat me to it. I suppose a Scott Bakula appearance is too much to hope for.

Must say I enjoyed it a lot. I’d always wondered when a mock-real-life version would happen, and now thinking about it — OF COURSE it had to be an animation.

It was appointment TV for me- the humour is a perfect balance of mockery and love. The tongue-in-cheek shoutout to Archer and the Enterprise in the finale was the cherry on top.

• “All time travel technology was destroyed after the temporal wars.” Hey, that sounds like a pretty cool story, why don’t you do a show about that. 

It’s clearly made by people with deep love and knowledge of the franchise, and I love that they hardly ever feel any need to explain the deep cuts. And it was amazing to finally get an update on the Exocomps.

So what did everybody think of Lower Decks? I think it’s the best Trek since DS9 and the best first season of a Trek show since either TOS or ever. I’m deeply Internet Outraged that the AV Club didn’t cover it.

People in Liverpool aren’t amused by this. They entered the strictest covid-redux lockdown in the country recently (a week ago? two weeks ago?) and yet an American Batman movie was given the all-clear.

He’s literally wearing a mask that covers the wrong half of his face to be the hero America needs right now.

God, why we aren’t just all totally sick and tired of Batman is beyond me.

You know what my Prime Day purchase was? Found a PS4 controller on Amazon for cheap, then went to ebay and bought it from someone used for even cheaper.

I mean...how do people think sites make money these days? People are seriously going to give them a hassle for trying to stay afloat with sponsored ads?
