I hate that idea because it worms the nonsensical plotting and worldbuilding of Discovery even more into the timeline, but on the other hand Picard isn’t doing much better of a job, so might as well tie them up in a bow together, really.

Hey now! The hot peppers they provide on the side are edible at least!

But it feels off to me. The original Picard (excluding the movies which are, to be kind, a bit of a mess character-wise)

In further “I was very wrong in 2018" news it seems the show has entirely skipped the alien archaeology of the second book. Boo.

The baked-in assumption about pop music that the credit belongs to the performer is so weird. In reality, most pop artists are creatively identical to cover bands. Which can be fun! But.

There was maybe a wider palette of tones, but there were definitely some perennial targets back in the pre-*Disqus* era. And for example, O’Neal’s newswires were certainly not known for taking prisoners.

Finally watched the last episode of the first season; entirely stuck the landing. Really excited we’ll be getting more of this, particularly Lake Bell’s Poison Ivy (now Martyred Ivy?) and Ron Funches’ King Shark; undeniably top-tier comedic voicework.

Who are you, a G/O Media exec?

Or Clinton!

Well it does also seem remarkable that, starting from such a lame joke, somehow an entire story was written highlighting replies that were even less laudable.

Wait, the AV Club is . . . snarky? Unprecedented!

I’d just settle for it providing any laughs.

Wait, what? Judging by that photo he must have been doing this job since he was being potty trained.

Watch a trailer for Pete Davidson’s first Netflix comedy special

Certainly a lot better than their previous celebrity friendship!

Yeah but by Hollywood standards . . .

Even DC Universe’s exceptional Harley Quinn has yet to explicitly address her attraction to women beyond a couple of tense moments with Ivy.

It’s fairly explicitly addressed in the current Harley Quinn animated series.

and the would-be filmmaker

Other than the Bond film thanks to the pedigree of the talent behind the scenes (I still rewatch that True Detective raid-goes-wrong sequence often, that was better than any action movie that came out that year), not a single one of the big-budget franchise movies interests me at all.
