I’m hoping they don’t do that, if only because the Pierce girls are getting really tiresome over on Black Lightning. On the other hand, if they get different power sets — one with invulnerability and heat vision, the other with super speed and strength — it could be interesting to see them complement each other.

Voyager and Enterprise didn’t suck. In fact Voyager is currently the most streamed Star Trek series and Enterprise was redeemed over time. Both of those shows suffered from exactly what Discovery has to deal with, people claiming it’s ruining Star Trek and it doesn’t respect the franchise that spawned it.  

These rants masquerading as reviews by an angry straight white guy are going to age about as well as the Trump presidency. And this guy is constantly angry on Twitter as well. Not a good look in 2019.

What if someone who likes the show did the reviews? Asking for a friend.

My g0d this website...gonna just link to some reviews from people who are actually Star Trek fans.

Well at least I now know you’re just entirely nuts. If you thought the last episode was worthy of a B and this one was leagues worse... yeah, I mean to each his own but you seem wholly unfit to review television shows. But okay. 

And, as much as I complain about these reviews, thanks for doing them.

‘And maybe I’m being too hard on it; maybe it is just a joke (but now I’m going to show you how clever I am).....’ (parentheses mine)

If the naming convention was STD, then The shows in order would be ST, STT, STT, STD, STV, E, and STD. Which they’re not. DSC is the official abbreviation, but Memory Alpha uses DIS.

no it isn’t?

I have to say, I’m far more likely to stop reading DISCO reviews on the site than I am stop watching the show. Handlen just isn’t paying attention to the show, picking out bits he doesn’t like and ignoring the things that either frequently explain what’s going on (like the bit last week about Starfleet offering to…

I say again: We are watching completely different shows.

I have to say I disagree. Anders’s novel reminded me of The Left Hand of Darkness by Le Guin. It’s strange and moves slowly, yes, and hops from place to place, but its big ideas are the questions themselves and the realism imbued in the interactions. You don’t spend much time in this review discussing the Gelet and…

This reminds me of my absolute favorite story from the life of Jesus: Jesus and the Centurion. For those not familiar, Jesus, after giving his Sermon on the Mount, was approached by a Centurion or a delegation on his behalf (the account varies depending on which gospel you read), who pleaded with Jesus to heal a…

If Chris Pratt really finds nothing wrong with and accepts gay people, then what is it about these churches that drive him to turn a blind eye to these churches’ anti-gay stance and rhetoric? And especially to the potential that the church is playing a part in raising their kids by filling their heads with bigoted idea…

And they’d be all “Us?! What the hell are you doing here?”
And he’d be like, “Hey, I asked first!”
And they’d be like, “We’re excluding the gays and whatnot! Now you!”
And he’d be like, “Woooo, I’m a ghost!”
And they’d be all, “Shiiiiiiiiiit”
And he’d be like, “Nah, I’m fooling. I’m actually just a fiction.”
And they’d be…

At least she wasn’t killed randomly by an oil monster.

I think this is the episode that finally won me over to this show. I was always slightly put off by the 90s trek retro feel to it but I actually embraced that this week.

Not just the return of a Voyager alum, but guest star turns from two “Star Trek” doctors, with Enterprise’s John Billingsley as Cambis. When they started talking about the son working at a medical school I was hoping for a meta joke about it, or maybe even Gates McFadden or Alexander Siddig showing up at the very end…

How are you this unaware? The rest of the English-speaking world says it “zed”. “Zee” is an American English pronunciation.
