Amen! For me specifically, I’ll take anything after Santa Claus enters Herald square (11:58:30, I believe it is this year)

What is your favorite CANCELLED (and not revived) genre show? Maximum of two seasons of air time. (mine is a tie between Defying Gravity and SGU)

Two part question: a) When do you think the Christmas season starts? b) when is the earliest ACCEPTABLE time to start playing Christmas carols, start decorating etc?

What is everyone’s favorite (to use the TVTropes trope) Standard Starship Scuffle in movies and TV? (movie: probably Battle of Endor [runner up: Battle of Sector 001]. TV: First Battle of Chin’toka)

Coming into the midway point of S1, EXCLUDING Beth and Katharine (because we know! FFS, we KNOW!), what is the rest of io9's take on Star Trek Discovery?

There is precisely one set of narration, which has become vestigial, that has worked and is working for a series or franchise. I’ll provide a parroty example below:

Captain’s Log, stardate: whatever the hell the numbers are to make it a few weeks from the end of last week’s episode. The Cool Ship is proceeding to our…

I got the “you’re really *smart*” line, in addition to actually being quite intelligent. Liking sci-fi, electronic music, and eventually anime didn’t exactly help my cause...

My (Navajo/eastern European white) wife and I..

*Had the healthcare talk just after we got engaged, and moved up the wedding, courthouse style (to just before my birthday...Valentine’s day, to be specific), just in case the GOP had manage to upgefuk the system.
*Had The Talk regarding kids and “acting white” (and an…

Don’t forget our Cheeto-in-Chief....

Basically, it comes down to a question: are you looking for this to have the same look and feel as “classic Trek”. If you are, then you’ll hate the show, as it’s the character archetypes before we truly get to know them. If you are not, and expect this to be a product of 2017, then you’re in store for some legit…

Well of course she is, she’s goddamn Kasidy Yates!

I truly don’t understand the pissing and moaning about this being on All Access. If you had a problem with the platform model, then you shouldn’t have ponied up when Netflix and Hulu started doing their thing four years ago. What, did you think that WOULDN’T lead others to say “Hey, that worked for them, why not us?”?

If you liked seasons 5-7 of DS9, not only would you be a hypocrite, you’d be an idiot to boot.

A Fistful of Datas, Elementary Dear Data and Ship in a Bottle were all quality.

“Oh yeah! That’ll play. How far is Alaris anyway?”
“You have said that many times before. Next time, I may not be as forgiving”
“Lose it. It means go Crazy. Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No longer in possession of one’s faculties. Three Fries Short of a Happy Meal Whacko!”
*dat smirk*

Their lack of Ace Combat 7 footage (one carrier takeoff) worries me. I’ve seen the trailers, and they’re good, but not enough to market heavily on the sizzler?

Event Horizon. Even as an adult, I can’t get through that movie without being freaked out.

Including the first time, I’ve watched this movie precisely twice.

The episode is a cross between SG1's “Window of Opportunity” (the funniest, but NOT the best. Gold standard is still “Cause and Effect”, but I’ve seen that WAY too many times) and SGU’s “Trial and Error” (which this is MUCH closer too, and is dramatically done WAY better than “Window”)

Katharine....


...I AGREE WITH YOU IN ALL RESPECTS THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!
*cue fanfare* or *cue the Four Horsemen*

And yes “I don’t give a damn, just get it done”...“Still don’t give a damn” is the best line of the episode. I lolled quite effusively over that

The characterization for First Contact is incorrect. Instead of it being like Back to the Future, it’s closer to Harry Potter, with the exception that Picard and crew were not *technically* there the first time. In fact, the Voyager episode “Relativity” explains it quite well, calling it the “Pogo paradox” where going…
