Within the reality of this show, Mudd would be dead by execution by Lorca or placed in some maximum security military prison due to the fact that he has the secret to the greatest weapon advantage that the Federation has developed.

I just got around to watching the episode, and that’s exactly what i thought was going to happen too!

She’s also a promoter of homeopathy and anti-vax. Having an advanced degree does not make you a source of wisdom.

Bear in mind that Starfleet is not a military. Think back to TOS: the Enterprise was alone on the frontier, almost always “the only ship in range”. When the Borg attacked Earth in TNG, the capital of the Federation had pretty much no defenses. Starfleet just is not equipped for this kind of situation, whereas the…

Something to consider with Discovery is that every other Star Trek show had a really rocky first few seasons, and that even The Next Generation and certainly everything since had a lot of backlash from fans at the beginning. Think about how long it took for the writers to get a handle on the Voyager crew, to figure…

Agreed — as a die-hard X-Phile back in the day, my favorite part of the show was the Mytharc. I loved some of the stand-alone eps, but to me the show was about the alien conspiracy. It was crazy how something momentous would happen in the overarching storyline and then be forgotten as they chased the latest monster…

Not just because stand alone episodes. More because the feel. Lightness, optimism. Most (if not all) our current sci-fi is doing everything to be gritty and dark. Getting weary of it.

My show was Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, but they had scenarios and situations similar to the Star Treks, though I’ve been rewatching Seasons 7 and 8 of SG-1 and 1 and 2 of Atlantis, realizing that due to production schedules and actors, they had to jump around from person to person, probably filming different scenes…

They do serial arcs, or hints of them, that have an impact further down. For example, Master/Mistress? Definitely not over and done with Ten and Twelve, and more impactful than old Who.

For sitcoms with an overarching plot line I recommend The Good Place and Trial & Error. Both are fantastic.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is particularly keen on that too, especially characters changing just enough to evolve without changing their core personalities. But there is comfort and value in what kind of storytelling you can do from immutable characters. Either can be fantastic as long as you’re playing the elements of that…

Flash: “Allow me to stop and pontificate to this powerful meta who I could easily stop if I sped in and knocked him out before he knew I was even there.”

Yeah, Laura Benanti has been really busy in New York doing a lot of stage stuff. Which is too bad, because she’s a great actress, and quite beautiful to boot.

McFarlane’s big dumb face certainly doesn’t help.

1 and 2 would be awesome! The cast could change and still be workable. 20-somethings are interchangeable, Pryce would be spot-on.

Yep, synchronicity at work. Van Damme plays himself as a washed up actor (the show opens with him riding a Segway down his driveway to get the mail, wearing a bathrobe and looking horribly out of shape), only he’s actually a retired spy whose cover all these years has been as an actor. His spy codename is “Johnson”. …

He’s a member of an ancient order of vampire hunters. She’s a modern-day super-secret agent who accidentally reveals the international criminal syndicate she’s infiltrated is actually a vampiric cabal. Will they be able to combine dusty old spellbooks with shiny whiz-bang gadgetry? Can they bring their two styles of…

“4. Sam Niell is not an actor, he is a super spy. All this films are locations for his assignment. We follow him balance acting and completing the mission, they complement each other in moral etc”

yes, please!!!

I think showing female genitalia would bring us to a new era
