I think Sonequa is a fantastic actress (and I loved how unhinged she played mirror Michael this season) but the material they give her is not worth her talents at all

“it’s clear who the writers want Burnham to be.”

i don’t think people realize that political violence in american tends to not involve people tasing themselves in the dicks in and dying. 

You need to study history if you think yesterday was the darkest day in the nation’s history.  Probably doesn’t rank in the top 100.

She could have very easily executed Burnham’s idea.

If you divorce that moment from the show, it makes sense. Stressful situation, time crunch, letting the more season officer just implement it for the moment takes less time than having said officer explain it, and then have someone else execute it.

I’m a pretty big Star Trek fan, but I cannot endorse Discovery. For a futuristic, enlightened, humanity driven show, there sure is a lot of overly emotional episodes in season 3 that just doesn’t feel like Star Trek to me.

Trek was a franchise which put a Russian on the bridge of its ship during the height of the cold war. During the period of time when the conflict in Ireland and still violent, Trek did a show that argued that terrorists were people who might also have legitimate reasons to be angry. With 9/11 as a fresh memory, Trek…

I’m not sure whether I would hate to be the guy to tell Rudy that Trump’s not going to pay him, or whether I would love to be the guy to tell him that.

What exactly does Rudy think they are going to have tomorrow that they don’t have today? They have had two months to fight this thing and have come up empty.

And Last of Us Part 2 explores breakdowns in communication, the dangers of what is left unsaid, the extent to which we will commit to a lie in order to preserve our relationships, trauma, survivor’s guilt, ego death, and the ways in which we perceive our in-groups and out-groups, all within the framing of a…

That diversity is less impressive if these characters’ identities aren’t integral to their character or if they’re just window dressing

Every single part of that game feels duct taped on, from the activities to the characters to the plot. Valhalla really rewards investment in its characters and world and Tsushima practically disdains it.

A lot of the storytelling in Valhalla is top notch (particularly for the franchise) but there are just too many weird design decisions in that game that seem half-baked for it to be one of my games of the year, especially in a year in which Ghost of Tsushima out-Assassin’s-Creeded Assassin’s Creed.

My rig is way out of date. The newest component I have is a Vega 56 overclocked and flashed. My CPU is the it 3570k which is what they listed as a bare minimum to play the game.

I know this opinion must come from a lot of frustration, but I have to say that the game was a nice queer experience for me. I get to play as trans characters. The relationships are good. You don’t get treated differently. And for the most part you get to build your own story. Sure, there are issues. I wish identity…

that’s the essential problem of the sequel trilogy; lucasfilm / disney couldn’t decide whether they wanted to make another trilogy about the original characters (not really feasible with the aging cast) or about entirely new characters (too risky without some connection to the old characters). But by splitting the…

As a “Law and Order” President, Trump just failed, and he took the GOP with him!

Fallen soldiers = bad

That’s exactly my point. It’s not simulating my eyes, because my eyes are not always fixated on where my cursor is. That’s why depth of field doesn’t work in games: because the game doesn’t actually know where my eyes are focused, so it ends up blurring the wrong areas of the screen at the wrong time.
