I am pretty sure Eleanor sobbing uncontrollably into the toilet plunger last week when she realized how sad it was that she never had a family choked me up (despite how funny it was). This episode was awesome too but I found it less emotional.

This was the first episode of this hilarious show to actually choke me up. It was practically a two-hander bottle episode with brief, great cameos from the rest of the cast. And it was fantastic, because Ted Danson and Darcy Carden are fantastic together. I binged the whole first season last week, and it only…

“If only they had set this 20 years after the dominion war.”

The biggest laugh for me was Todd’s resigned reaction to Melissa’s schoolyard bully roleplay. “This is very confusing, but okay.” I could watch a whole episode of just the non-sex parts of their roleplaying, actually. “I can tell by your accent that you’re Russian.”

For me, the biggest problem is that they showed a fundamental lack of imagination in the premise of the show. Another prequel. Ever since the end of Voyager, Star Trek has been looking backwards. Enterprise, the new film series and now Discovery. Will the next series be set 3 weeks before TOS? In the space between…

“This depression shit. That’s next level bitchy. I’m kind of digging it. My dick is a little bit hard. I hope you never get better.”

FYI. There are no bears on Prince Edward Island.

Everything about the spore drive and the portrayal of the Klingons, from their ships to their look, is just terrible. This show is taxing to watch as a Star Trek fan. It sure feels like the people who are making it really, really hate Star Trek and its philosophy.

Michael Che’s “I liked it” response was the cherry on top.

I can’t help thinking that most of the obstacles on this show could be overcome if someone just gave Black Bolt a pen and paper.

It really one of the most laughably-bad scripted shows on air right now and certainly the worst thing to come out of the beleaguered superhero genre for some time.

The fundamental problem with this show is that the overarching plot seems to have been dictated entirely by budget, and so we’re getting the interesting part of the story in episodes 1 and 8 with six episodes of padding. Everything else feels like a contrivance to keep them on Earth, in civvies, not using their…

• Auran & Co are once again struggling through the brush, even though they went out of their way to insert a scene just last week, specifically to show that Earth Girl can clear a path with her mind.

I have no idea what Karnak’s pot farm romance is doing on this show, other than giving the character something to do before the family reunites for the final act. I at first thought their time on the beach was going to lead to him finding Triton/’s body, but no: Inexplicable sexy times!

You’re being very kind to this show. I think it’s absolutely dreadful. Why are we watching Karnak playing romance on a pot farm? Why is Gorgon referring to a bunch of surfer bros as “family”? Why do they keep showing us terrible flashbacks with terrible child actors?

This show is a disaster. I thought too many people…

Netflix what can we greenlight for you today?

I actually really liked this episode, and think it represents a lot more than a “video game tie-in,” which I was initially afraid it would primarily be from the title.

I have difficulty imagining commenting being made more tedious. Is this by design? I would be under the impression that AVC benefits from discussion. Surely I’m in a long list of similar comments. I kind of decided to quit AVClub after Twin Peaks ended and the gross new website replaced the nice clean old one, such…

The show airs on cable in Canada.
