So let me get this straight - North Koreans launched an astronaut on a one-way trip, and he somehow survived on the surface of Mars for months? Was he on that probe Danielle and Kuznetzov found? Did the North Koreans invent cryosleep and the astronaut woke up a couple of days prior to being found?

This show is just getting dumber and dumber. As CogentComment says, it’s become a soap opera. Science and technology have taken a back seat, laughably so. They’ve completely ignored the fact that Mars has 0.3 Earth gravity, except for a comment about the baby being born on the ship.

Thank you for the actual review, opposed to the summary above.

First, North Korean, not South, but I suspect you’ll get more than a few people with that correction. Per Reddit, the Cernan football refers to him telling Ellen about throwing it on the moon, which is what inspired her to do the tank toss with Apollo 24. Also, Nixon’s portrait has been there all season.

“Amber Midthunder is fucking awesome and hasn’t been used well since Legion.”

I’m so ready for this. don’t even have strong feelings about this franchise, but Trachtenberg has really proved himself as a consistent and dependable action-horror director, and Amber Midthunder is fucking awesome and hasn’t been used well since Legion. this looks extremely up my alley

Their calculus is that 10 shows that cost $100,000 to make might get more subscriptions than one show that cost a million to make, regardless of the moral or even financial value of the IP itself.

This, of course, is stupid as hell.

CGI critique for how Maslany looks as a buffed-up Jennifer Walters also “has to do with our culture’s belief in ownership over women’s bodies

I haven’t read a word of this yet, but on behalf of all AVC readers, thank you for not making this a slideshow.

The saddest part is that the Spirit Halloween movie looks far better made than the new Monster’s movie, which looks like a porn parody minus the porn. 

The Spirit Halloween movie? Is that what we’re calling Rob Zombie’s Munsters movie now?

wait... you think that a man who is accused by his brother to have married a gold digger who is after their grandfather’s inheritance goes on a trip with somebody else’s grandfather to dig up literal gold only to unwittingly end up inheriting part of the gold he helped dig up from that stranger’s grandfather less…

While I like the series, big chunks of it feel derivative of The Venture Brothers.

Aside from Bialik’s other shortcomings, she just feels all wrong for Jeopardy. Her disposition is that of a too-happy morning show host and it really doesn’t seem like she knows the answers half the time? Alex always was about to tell you right away whether they got it right or not but there’s always this hesitation…

“This is seemingly what everyone was hoping for ever since Picard premiered two seasons ago.” - No, I think many of us were perfectly ready for a quality Picard-centric show that was very different in terms of cast, tone, and story. But the “quality” part wasn’t optional, and boy howdy has the series not delivered in…

“But if we’re making a show called “The Lord Of The Rings,” one must assume that eventually, there will be a season about the book The Lord Of The Rings.”

It was goofy when the President was talking to her husband and goes something like, “how dare you make decisions for me and my life.” Yes, madam President, how can someone make decisions for someone else’s life? What a weird notion. I’m not sure if that was meant to be ironic, but it was definitely oblivious.
