Their simulation was also based on ProjectFiveThirtyEight polls, and refused to predict someone like Trump taking power.

Why is this huge section of a bio-lab, with the potential for creating some kind of Captain Trips-level plague (but worse), staffed by only two people? And considering how much responsibility that puts on those two people’s shoulders, why do they seem to regard it like an low-stakes, wage slave job? I can see the…

There were just too many times in this episode where I thought to myself, “That’s stupid.” Whether it was the UNSC leader/military leaders not listening to the guy who was - you know - President of Earth. That entire lab setup that should probably have a “Days without incident” chalkboard with a number in the single…

This is the first episode of the season I’ve disliked. First, we know the aliens have spent near infinite time and resources studying simulations of Earth, and for whatever reason they required being loved, yet they claim looking like a zombie is the closest they can get. It’s like “V” except they showed up as the…

The show is pretty dumb at this point and it’s forgetting it’s own continuity. We’ve already established that the Doctor can re-grow body parts via a partial regeneration. The dude can’t go blind. Also the idiot aliens whining about love being better than fear yet somehow forgetting that one person’s thoughts and…

Has there ever been a Youtube comments section that wasn’t toxic cancerous garbage? On anything?

Because, hyperbole aside, Trump will not turn women into chattel. After that, it’s just a series of misdemeanors that women can overlook.

There’s only a few choice places to go for good Chinese in DC. We never really had a solid Chinese neighborhood (Our Chinatown is fake and filled with a smattering of hole-in-the-wall pan-Asian places plus a Hooters and Ruby Tuesday’s with Chinese characters on the window). Gotta go to literally *any* other major city…

Completely agree. She was so much more realistic than Tarkin, who looked more like a video game cut scene. Of course, she only had to be on screen for seconds.

Unpopular opinion but I thought the CG work on Leia was great (saw it in 3D). I actually wondered if they’d just digitally remastered some deleted/ cut footage from A New Hope.

DS9 is the best of Trek. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

I sat down and watched it all the way through on Netflix just so I could slag on it with a clear conscience. Every other time I’ve tried to watch it I couldn’t stand more than 2 episodes at a time. Primarily because DS9 is my jam, and I can’t go from a cast where I like nearly everyone to a cast where I hate nearly…

God I hated this show. Neelix was annoying. Kess was too by association. The Kazon were never menacing, just a bully that Janeway refused to dispatch because she always made the wrong choice for plot reasons. Usually that’s the XO’s job but, oh wait, Chayote did that too. Even after they turned Seska, into a stupid,…

In the great debate between Enterprise and Voyager: Which Was Worse? I’d give the edge to Voyager because it’s 7 seasons of dull to Enterprise’s 2 seasons of dull, 1 season of crazy 9/11 metaphor, 1 season of TOS prequel goodness.

I’m a sucker for Trek so I’ll always watch it. I can even enjoy some Voyager episodes but Enterprise? Sucked and the beginning and sucked all the way through. That god-aweful theme song really was perfect for such a crappy show.

Star Trek: Voyager

Yeah. Honestly, I found her less disconcerting than him considering she was a) only onscreen for seconds and b) didn’t do that much moving. Meanwhile, Tarkin looked nice, but a few moments he seemed a little glossy and his skin moved weird.

It looks and feels like Star Wars and yet also looks and feels like no Star Wars that’s ever been.

You know I really love my job, but I’m hella-jealous of the i09 staff right now that they get to spend all week getting paid to write about Star Trek.
