I’m surprised at how much I liked this song. I was worried it was going to just be a riff on the not-Nightsister (Notsister?) song, which left me pretty cold.

I do find it weird that Marvel is just letting this movie dangle. Mahershala is 14 years older than Wesley Snipes was when he started playing Blade, and Marvel does seem to be looking for longevity from its stars. 

Between Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti, I feel like the cost of the cast is going to ensure that this show is very short-lived.

I can't imagine being dimwitted enough to think Buffy the Vampire Slayer, largely recognized as one of the genre-defining shows of the last few decades for its exceptional stories, is an example of cardboard storytelling.

They will perform a song about eating goblins.

I’ve lost count of the number of series that Bryan Fuller has departed from early on. I wonder why he’s brought on for first-season work so often.

You are saying that the perception is that Sisko’s flexible morality is tied to his blackness. It’s not. Sisko, the character, does not have the inflexible self-righteousness that Picard does.

This looks way more fun than the site's coverage has suggested so far. I am also pleasantly weirded out by how much Chris Hemsworth sounds like Peter Cullen at times.

It has nothing to do with race. It has to do with Sisko’s personality versus Picard’s. You’re the one who is basically saying that a character must inherently be an avatar for their entire race, which is gross.

Alex Kurtzman isn’t a good judge of what makes Star Trek great. If I had to assess his interests based on the content he has worked on, it’s basically Romulans, Borg, Section 31, and very little interest in the core of the Star Trek experience.

It’s absolutely praiseworthy. If Picard had been in charge of DS9, the Federation would have lost the Dominion War.

Speaking of “inevitably bad”, here’s the reading experience for this article on mobile. Be better.

He was smoking hot, though.

This is a good point.

For reference, here’s what my phone screen looks like when I try to read this article (also, thanks to whomever starred me out of the greys for this post.)

Between shilling for Twitter, the fact that 75% of my screen is covered in ads, and that I got bumped into the greys when io9 folded into Gizmodo fully, I don't see a lot of reason to keep visiting this site.

What is this in reference to?

I was ready to gripe about the lack of old-timey music, but thankfully the trailer production team had my back.

My guess is that the TARDIS has been turned inside out by traveling into itself, and its bigger-on-the-inside-ness is threatening the universe as it expands.

She’s 5'10 and was 18 years old playing a 15-year-old when this special was shot.
