I was wondering the same thing. Or, perhaps Trendacosta didn’t write this review, since this is actually an evenhanded assessment of the episode.

I find it hilarious that even though you left you still come back to shit on Discovery. I’m not even annoyed, I’m genuinely amused.

I Echo that sentiment.

It’s hard to have Faith in humanity with people like him alive.

Sounds like he’s a real dushbag.

Boom! Roasted.

So exactly ONE more than anyone here.

It was pretty much a remake of Jingle All The Way.

Yes but it answered a question that has been bugging me since I was 8 years old: Why didn’t the Empire put some chicken-wire over the exhaust port? Mads Mikkelson was pissed off - that’s why.

my personal theory is that the aliens saw the F-18s coming and went all “oh shit it’s the cops”

Those cheekbones are just out of control. Imagine if the two of them were able to have a child, it’d be like one of those Japanese steel knives.

Those cheeks! They both look like they attended finishing school at Benedict Cumberbatch’s Home for Sharp-Faced Boys.

MBMBaM references aside, I do love them so much.

While I generally agree with most of these points, I do have to take issue with the dismissal of the Wonder Woman score. Gregson-Williams nailed the whole aesthetic of that movie from the idyllic scenes in Themescyra (I have no idea how to spell that) to the incredible No Man’s Land scene (unfortunately with the…

This is coming from a guy who OWNS one....

This is just the end for me with io9 and current TV sci-fi. I find Katy’s bizarre reactions and alter-fiction  especially insane and unsupportable. The Klingon Sleeper idea is a fever dream pulled out of thin air. Her character analyses, plot summaries, and reviews are short sighted, mean spirited, and, I believe,…

Trying to get through these reviews is a chore because of all the unrelenting dislike and poor reasoning, but here are some thoughts:

Yeah, you’re going to have to get over the show not being what you want it to be. Complaining that Lorca isn’t the “good & noble” Star Trek captain we’re used to is like complaining Deep Space Nine was on a space station rather than a starship. Crazy, mean and flat out bad captains have always been a part of ST. It’s…

Middle third, duh

Legitimate question here. Not a troll, I swear. Assuming that scenario A is the case, and there was no drugging, what if Takei was drunk too? Who is the rapist and who is the victim when both parties are wasted? I’ve wondered about this before for heterosexual couples, because I (a woman) have definitely had sex with…

So the bit reveal here is that a ship called Discovery survives a battle in the middle of its first season and returns in the first episode of the second half on a show actually called Discovery?
