Hard agree. This is a VERY select group of people in the film industry who get to play with other people’s money and then get paid for it, and (as I’ve screamed before) it’s mostly white men. I loved Blade Runner 2049, but it was a financial disaster for the studio, and if it was directed by a black or woman filmmaker…

I have sympathy for the directors who’ve lost control of how their artistic work is experienced, but two points: (1) welcome to the club, that’s the experience of everyone else in film production who isn’t the director, and (2) it’s the studio’s money that financed these films, and they are the ones have the most to…

Denis Villeneuve is an anagram of “evil elves in Dune”.

Yeah, but rich people doing PR for their active participation in wealth inequality?

“THAT’S A BLOODY OUTRAGE, IT IS! I’M TAKING THIS ALL THE WAY TO THE PRIME MINISTER!

OI! GUS!” 

I gotta admit I was extremely iffy about bringing back Fett. But god damn it worked. Morrison being too old for the role was nicely sidestepped by his sarlacc digestion scars, and there were some real neat tricks up his sleeves (watch those knee rockets!). Those incredibly brutal armour smashing blows from his (sand…

Yaddle appears in ep 1, she doesn’t appear in ep 2 ten years later, which is set before the beginning of the clone wars, so it’s understandable Ahsoka never met her, there’s not a clear cut answer as to when or why she left the council. Would the average youngling ever meet the council? Probably not, maybe only at a…

Oof. Hard disagree on this one. I have my issues with Discovery, but this is easily one of the best episodes of the series for me, if only because it felt like a classic Trek episode. Who doesn’t love a good trial plot!

Zack threatens to open old wounds that have long since healed, risking all-out war within the fandom by being unable to reconcile the two continuities.

Honestly, while I get why people are frustrated at Michael, I have to say it isn’t anything new for Trek. Most of the captains have had the same approach - it just works better for them since they *are* in command. With Michael we get to see what happens when that certainty/arrogance hits roadblocks. 

Lt. Nilsson is played by Sara Mitch who played Airiam in season 1. She appears to be the most senior bridge officers after Saru and Michael as she’s been in command most of the times those two aren’t on the bridge this season.

“That’s Therapists!”

“You think your shooo shmart, Trebek, with your Dago moushtache and your greashy hair!!!”

It’sh only natural that Sean Connery would drag his archnemesis to the afterlife.

Exactly. This is a show that just wants to be a fun space western, and I reckon it does a pretty damn good job at it. It’s not trying to be The Wire But Star Wars, more a Wanted Dead or Alive But With Cute Baby Alien and that's okay. 

Not every show need everything to be deeply connected from episode to episode. Not having greater ambitions isn’t a show problem. Your putting some sort of expectations on the show and that is not the shows fault.

“Socialism” and far-left rhetoric in general had already been rejected BY democrats in the democratic primary. But for some reason (idiots running the party who live in coastal bubbles and think they only have to pay attention to voters in major cities) we’re still having this conversation. The article above is…

The alien-race as malibu beachhouse was my least favorite thing about the end of Picard, and I wasn’t a big fan of it here either.

If by ‘best’ you mean ‘the only one I can think about watching again without getting a massive headache’, then I’d have to agree with you.
