The funny thing is, I watched all of these episodes as a kid, and therefore don’t really have bad recollections of any TNG. Yes, watching them as a full-grown adult I recognize MANY are objectively bad, but I can still enjoy them. Is that weird?

And if they did show more, we'd be hearing about how "trailers always spoil!" Some people live to complain I guess.

Which is why he’s called Number One. The Riker we see in the promos must be Thomas Riker then!

Obviously the dog’s implanted universal translator has malfunctioned. Perhaps it will reset itself the next time he scratches behind his ear.

This. I also don’t believe that it’s a question of pushing what sells. There are a lot of recent examples in TV and film of slower paced thoughtful Science Fiction doing really well.

I would love to see a Kelvin Star-Trek movie that had the pace of something like The Martian. Where most of the movie is them thinking…

That’s just what French sounds like in the 24th century.

That said, if you are looking for something a little less calm and a little more action-hero-y

Even if it’s true that they don’t have the original negatives or whatever, which is bullshit because they’ve already changed Han shooting Greedo scene at least three times now, all they really need to do is edit out some of the most egregious changes. Restore the Greedo scene, cut the Jabba scene in ANH, ESB is pretty…

I was seriously not going to go see this movie.

Have they done a western yet?

Solo and Rogue One tell better stories than any of the sequel garbage, regardless of whether they were “necessary.”

Solo was good even though it was wholly unnecessary. Disney’s biggest mistake was not having an actual plan for episodes 7 thru 9. 7 was just a rehash of 4 and regardless of how you feel about 8, Rian Johnson went off the reservation to, in his own words, subvert expectations. Ep. 9 is left to tie together what was…

As a lifelong Astros fan, I’d like to buy all the Nats fans a beer after last night.

You joke, but it actually warmed my heart a little to see that. 

Also, boobs were flashed!  

It’s ok, Nats fans. Should they lose in Houston, just remember that the real treasure were the boos rained on diaper-baby presidents along the way.

So based on what I’m reading here, the movie is bad and can’t even deign to justify its own existence. *sigh*

All I want... all I think anybody wants... is a movie set squarely in that horrifying, blue-tinted, skull-covered robot-apocalypse we’ve only seen clips of in T1 & T2. Every dip back into the franchise following…

I mean, LA clearly cares about NFL football. Just not necessarily about Chargers football (or the Rams necessarily either, judging from all the red at yesterdays game). But the owners don’t care who the people sitting in the stands cheer for. They paid for tickets, parking, probably a lot of beer and stuff, and their…

Washington Fan here: I contend that the Original Sin committed by the team following relocation was keying off the two Sens teams, who were by all measures, shit. This locks you into a design prison of red, white and blue.
