There’s a big plot hole in the show in that Barry inherited STAR Labs from Thrawn essentially. And they don’t actually DO anything with it other than having the most expensive superhero base in the CWU. They have made no attempt at all to reopen it as an actual science research center, no attempt to develop a revenue…

Legends of Tomorrow is an utterly silly show where they have used a time ship to:

They had a couple ways to go with this:

I’m not saying that io9 should sugarcoat it’s coverage but maybe having someone who KINDA likes the show doing the write ups would be better....

Thank You - I think someone reviewing the latest installments of one of the biggest sci-fi franchises in history should employ a bit more journalistic standards than Ms. Trendacosta displays. Even a film reviewer who disliked a Bond movie would have more restraint, intelligence and detachment than what she shows.…

Hi io9, could you please hire Julian to write reviews, cause those 209 words were pretty perfectly put together!

I’m liking Discovery, and continuously baffled by these reviews.

Yes, that’s the fundamental definition of a review. Now, there are some reviews that say ‘I felt this was badly done for X, Y, Z reasons’. And then there are reviews that say ‘this entire thing is stupid, cancel or destroy everything about it because I hate it’.

Katharine has clearly been watching Star Trek: Discovery long enough to know what she’s going to get. She can either stop watching and reviewing it, or stop complaining about it.

Oh yeah, I read the AVClub review and thought, “that was a well-reasoned analysis of Discovery. But where can I get my fix of shrill white-hot apoplectic nerd-rage?”

Hear, hear!

Seriously, can someone less emotional and maybe a little more objective start reviewing Discovery? You know, someone who can actually discuss pros and cons of an episode without having a meltdown? Maybe a review like this - https://www.avclub.com/burnham-meets-the-emperor-and-discovery-finds-a-new-gro-1822278505

I don’t think Supergirl has been shy about it. The Alex - Maggie relationship gets a good amount of screentime consistently. Even if they won’t lett Kara - Lena be a thing :( !!!!!

Line of the night 3

It’s definitely a thing in the books - they’re interconnected in a lot of ways, whether it’s several of them being set in the same fictional town(s), such as Derry, Castle Rock, etc., characters making references to events in other stories or even the same characters turning up again.

Also, jumping the Stark...

Actually, your prediction kind of sucks balls. Jon is going to lead a ranging party north of the Wall after meeting with his aunt at Dragonstone and forging an alliance. He will try to capture a wight and bring it back south to show the rest of Westeros what’s coming. He will get cut off by the army of the dead and…

Remember, when you’re casting a story first written by a French Translator, as told by a Syrian storyteller, that takes place in China, and based on a disney adaptation that moves it to a fictional middle east where most everyone is light skinned, you can only use dark skinned actors, or it won’t be authentic. Huh?

I wondered how long it was going to be before people on this site jumped on “they aren’t dark enough”. The hypocrisy of the SJW racist, marginalizing of light skinned or mixed race minorities will never cease to astound me. Way to make a segment of our population that has trouble fitting in any camp feel even more…

Oh good. Glad they aren’t going with +40 year olds for Aladdin and Jasmine, like some commentators where pushing for. They look like teenagers, aren’t whitewashed, and seem to have solid acting credentials. Thumbs up!
