There are many thoughtful, good takes on the show on this thread, both pro and con, but yours is the best.

I wonder if Dolores kept a copy of him inside a simulation and set it to run for hundreds of years (a la Black Mirror) and they ended up earning each other’s trust, and that’s how he’s inside Charlotte.

Is it the uniform, or just that he forgot how to zip it up? I couldn’t stop staring at his neck. It’s supposed to be unzipped to about mid chest, not at the start of the grey section.

God it can be exhausting. I love SW, rewatch all the movies, deep dive into the lore etc etc...and yet...

Why all the focus on targeting darker skin tones? That was the EXPLICIT need to make the product better for everyone. IMO this article would be a lot better by focusing the negative energy towards the shady consent practices.

I have mixed feelings on the movie. I thought it was good, didn’t like it as much as Interstellar, though. It felt too big for its own good, it routinely introduces characters and concepts that are on their own large enough to support their own movies, plays with them for one sequence, and then drops them. The world…

USS Cerritos, a California-class ship. I love it — wonder if Starfleet got it for a great price at (Yes!) Cerritos Auto Square.

He absolutely looks like a guy who could direct you to the hammock district.

I seem to remember in The Force Unleashed there was a race of primitive enemies on one of the planets you visited that had swords which were made of saber proof material that occurred naturally there. I thought it was a nice touch, because the only race that had the technology to defeat a lightsabre were some kind of…

Yeah, I’m an ex-firefighter and we had a fair amount of ‘decomps’. If they were upstairs, the .....ummm....leaking was often one of the primary ways that these unfortunate people were finally discovered. We somewhat fortunately never had any over restaurants.

yikes, whose going to tell her? 

I like your positive comments. It’s another updated variation of Star trek. Quit your whining everyone. I like TOS. I watched those 79 episodes over and over (78, since they hardly ran “Requiem for Methuselah”). I wanted more episodes for a long time. Then TNG arrived. It was different and the first three seasons…

I’m going to enjoy the ride, personally.

I thought I heard the whine of a transporter as Cornwell was exploding...

Are those all made of marzipan?

People are hard on Discovery, because it doesn’t just have to compete with other genre shows, it also has to be better than the imagined Star Trek series in every fan’s head. BSG had been mostly forgotten by the time the new show came out, Star Trek is still fresh in people’s memories and fiercely loved. It’s hard to…

Yeah, Trek has always been kept alive by fans and written by fans, and as much as people want to put Roddenberry on a pedestal, its vision has been added to and enriched just as much by the whole professional and fan community. Fontana, Ellison, the first fan conventions, Meyer, the actors/directors, Moore (who got…

I’m glad that I can hold onto information given to me better than a lot of you can. They literally devoted an entire episode to this sphere that some one you embarrassingly claim to have no knowledge of. It even lead to a major character development with Saru’s evolution.

zillion plot threads
