The idea of Idris Elba playing Crowley just flashed in my head and now I want that.

If the deaths of dozens of white children didn’t spark action nothing will.

Nothing will happen for the forseeable future. We have hundreds of mass shooting in the US per year, now, so much so that most of them don’t even make the news. Enough people are simply ok with this than nothing is likely to happen.

I’d agree that it was significantly better than TNG’s first season, but that’s a really, really low bar to clear. The first season of TNG is the worst season of Star Trek by a pretty large margin. Something can be much better than it and still not be particularly good, and DS9 had a few terrible episodes and a lot…

It’s hard for me to say, especially going episode for episode. The first two episodes of Iron Fist were punishingly bad, the two worst episodes of a not great show. Inhumans’ two-hour premiere was better than the first two episodes of Iron Fist, I think I’d safely say.

There are basically two levels to the (comics) Inhumans: one is the Royal family, the other is as a go-to easy origin story for new characters. Similarly, there are two levels t the X-Men the actual team, and mutants as a go-to easy origin story for new characters. Using Inhumans to replace mutants in the easy go-to…

Now I know what the MCU would have looked like as a syndicated action block in 1998.

Well, we know now.

And we all lived happily ever after.

It might be too mean if Erinn Hayes had actually died.

Does this constitute spoilers for The Orville, now?

The second half of James Cameron’s career has really done a lot to undermine all the goodwill he earned in the first half of his career. Pro tip: the guy who did the striptease scene in True Lies might not be the ultimate authority on feminism.

I suspect that the one time Tahani went was also the time she was Eleanor’s soulmate, and so she was in on it much earlier on.

Finally, your username pays off.

Because of Lockjaw. I’d watch Young Sheldon if it had Lockjaw in it. I mean, I’d fast-forward through all the non-Lockjaw scenes, to be sure, but still.

I never realized that they were married to each other. And cousins to boot.

For a first season, post-TOS Star Trek series, it’s actually doing pretty well.Definitely better than TNG’s first season, probably on par with the other three shows. DS9 didn’t get good until Duet, remember.

Yes, that’s been obvious for the last ten months or so.

True. Tahani seems to have the least self-awareness, even less than Jason usually shows.

I think we’ll get it back - the implication of this episode is that the four keep getting to the same place emotionally, over and over.
