Dickson refers to Richard Dickson, the COO of Mattel Corporation. Mattel Films was at odds with Mattel as a whole (aka the toys and where "Dickson" was concerned about the film potentially tarnishing brand integrity) over the script, as they had difficulties understanding the nuance of the delivery until it was…

Oh, you hadn’t heard? The AV Club is written by an actual middle school AV Club.

I think this is a misunderstanding of how the Trek thing works. It’s not that even films are all good and odd all suck. It’s that any given odd film will be lesser than the even films adjacent to it and vice versa. So... 3 is good but less than 2 or 4. 10 is weak but better than 9. Etc.

I empathize with Rosanne and Goodman’s feelings for her that span decades. Rosanne and people with her views are seriously fucked up.
