Are humans the wimpiest species in the galaxy? Because even a species that evolved as eternal prey can kick their asses and crush metal things with their bare hands.

It also felt to me like they didn’t really know what to do with Eleven except make her miserable repeatedly until her powers are needed for the deus ex machina (or is it undecim ex machina?).

I’m saying I want to see Erica and Lady Mormont fighting monsters. That’s what I’m saying and I’ll keep saying it until it happens.

HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

That’s when it starts spinning, yes, but I still maintain that it’s ridiculous and pointless. How many times has a space gnat or something bumped any version of the Enterprise and then caused them to do the turbulence dance? The level of inertial dampening they’d have to do on that to NOT have it be an amusement park…

You know what bugs me the most about this show?

Taco Bell, avoid the meats.

As a resident of NH, I can tell you it’s pretty goddamn racist. We’ve got the pickups with American flags, “All Live Matter” t-shirts, plenty of hunters. But it’s mostly the kind that’s shared among white people. Conversations that contain “They are...”, “They shouldn’t...”, “Why do they”, and of course “I’m not…

It’s the Coop!

I wondered that myself, to be honest. Maybe James is too classy for a pun that bad? Nah, that can’t be it.

Vampirates?

Yeah, I’m not sure either.

Maybe at first there was the slightest pause - us old people tend to do that - but after that I think he was having fun and is just very deadpan.

The episode was more about biology than identity.

But what does “male” mean when you have people who lays eggs and, apparently, “mate”?

How did you know I’ve seen episode 3? :-)

Which reminds me of my main (maybe only) disappointment with First Contact: they should have made Cochrane a parallel of Roddenberry.

In a young girl’s heart.

Just an observation, but all of that dialog - with the exception of Klingon references - could have come from “The Walking Dead”.

I was referring to ratings. A paid streaming service puts a show at a ratings disadvantage. But clearly there are CBS execs who disagree with my misgivings about it being on All Access.
