My dream is to have David Tennant take over, and then The Crown S3 would be both a stealth Broadchurch sequel and an amazing Doctor Who in-joke.

“Han and Luke were written as incompetent father figures who are deadbeats, Poe is a victim of the ‘anti-mansplaining’ movement, and you just know they’ll turn the both of them gay.”

But why couldn’t Snoke say “Hi Rey, behold I am Darth Plagueis.”

This is what I’m thinking needs to happen in the next movie. For the entire timeline of the Skywalker trilogies (what is it?....100ish years?) there’s been this vacillating struggle for balance for the force. The first trilogy ended with the dark side winning. The second, the light side won. To end the story arch…

It’s a problem with Episode VII because Abrams’ movie had a boring copy of the Emperor as the bad guy in it, with nothing new or interesting being brought to the character. A backstory would have made him a more specific boring copy of the Emperor as the bad guy with nothing new or interesting being brought to the…

I agree with you, but that was a problem with Episode VII, not with this movie. I thought Rian Johnson cut the Gordian Knot pretty well by saying, “Look, you want a big answer for who Snoke is and how he could build all this up and supplant the Emperor and be a non-Sith Dark Side Master and where he was during the…

You just admitted you read Star Wars comics. Not sure how objective your viewpoint is going to be here.

If you take a step back, you’ll see that Snoke was really an awful, truly terrible character. He was the living embodiment of a Star Wars trope. If you feel the need to cling to that, well, read the awful Star Wars…

They made Luke Skywalker interesting. I love the original trilogy. I love Mark Hamill. I have read an ungodly amount of Expanded Universe stuff. And most of it, however hard it tries, can’t make Luke interesting. He’s The Hero, The Beacon of Hope, The Savior of the Galaxy, the Jediest Jedi in all of the Jedi. Even…

You’re giving Vera way too much credit, he was never some genius mastermind, he was able to get the best of Elliott because Elliott underestimated how truly twisted and violent Vera was. Everything Vera did was standard violent criminal stuff, and Eliott wasn’t equipped to deal with an actual violent criminal at the…

The wreckage looked like destroyed Narn ships. They’ve jumped into Babylon 5.

Good. The Richard Spencer/Charles Murray/Breitbart type of racist wants desperately to be cool. Their entire modus operandi is trying to rebrand the image of “racist” from toothless hick into cool pop culture leader. (These guys are all either failed comics, screenwriters, or academics). They want to be Stephen…

“Dude if witches aren’t real, then who makes all the kombucha?”
“Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble, bitch!”
“I have 250 handmade Christmas cards the I was planning on sending my 250 camp friends.” “250 camp friends?”
“Powerful genital sneeze.”
“Knish, k’witch?”
“Hey new blood, welcome to the…

I don’t think your argument is without merit, but I’m reminded that DS9 and Voyager had premises that featured a certain degree of built-in conflict, even if those properties chose to progress with those arcs in very different ways.

Tilly and Stamets are still fundamentally driven by the wonder and excitement of new (ahem) discoveries.

Plenty of chatter going around that Tyler is Voq, genetically modified to look human. The evidence bandied is that the timeline for his story doesn’t add up, the chick Klingon said something last episode about Voq having to sacrifice everything and this episode he isn’t shown at all. Could be a BSG style, spy in their…

Well, we learned in the Worf’s broken back episode of TNG klingon’s have a backup organ for virtually every organ, so multiple genitals would make sense. That said, they’d probably be like the other organs, a primary and secondary set. Lorca was definitely not a biologist before the war, so I’m sure he’s just being…

It was a great way to get the most wretched low-standards nerds on the internet to out themselves by re-posting it while snort giggling through their noses about how “awesome” and “epic” it is to hear a proxy for them say a cuss

All hail, Team-Tilly.

On the commentary track for “Wrath of Khan,” Meyer explicitly states he doesn’t believe “Star Trek” really exhibits Roddenberry’s ideas about the “perfectability of man.” Instead, Meyer thinks the franchise is really centered around “gunboat diplomacy.”
