“The Village” is his best film in my eyes. Marketed entirely wrong -- it is a period-style drama, not a horror flick -- but wonderfully shot, scored and acted.

I get what you’re saying but I certainly can’t find any calculus by which I can effectively disentangle the message from the art; they’re inextricably linked for me. Is Get Out a lesser film if you judge it purely on the merits of its nuts and bolts filmmaking craft and leave the political meaning out of it? Of…
These rants masquerading as reviews by an angry straight white guy are going to age about as well as the Trump presidency. And this guy is constantly angry on Twitter as well. Not a good look in 2019.
Counterpoints: Disco doesn’t remind me of other Star Trek shows, Orville has more in common with Voyager than TNG, most of Orville’s humor is out of place and not funny, Orville’s CG is too plastic, we haven’t seen this Spock before at this time in his life so he’s not there for nostalgic reasons, and Orville isn’t a…
Yes, exactly! I mean, I felt like finally this is getting good and here at the AV Club we decide this is worse than that Saru episode that sucked. Seriously, man...
My g0d this website...gonna just link to some reviews from people who are actually Star Trek fans.
I have to respectfully, but completely disagree with this review. I liked a lot of this episode, actually. Discovery is slowly coming home to its core Trek. It was nice to have less dizzying and ridiculous camera angles and at least get to SEE and FOCUS on the actors. I was just thrilled to get a good look at the ship…
This review just seems super harsh to me, like someone who went into it wanting it to be bad.
The Orville fan, Eh?! Good for you.
Well at least I now know you’re just entirely nuts. If you thought the last episode was worthy of a B and this one was leagues worse... yeah, I mean to each his own but you seem wholly unfit to review television shows. But okay.
‘And maybe I’m being too hard on it; maybe it is just a joke (but now I’m going to show you how clever I am).....’ (parentheses mine)
I have to say, I’m far more likely to stop reading DISCO reviews on the site than I am stop watching the show. Handlen just isn’t paying attention to the show, picking out bits he doesn’t like and ignoring the things that either frequently explain what’s going on (like the bit last week about Starfleet offering to…
Can we please get another reviewer next season, instead of this butthurt manchild? I know you can find someone who isn’t an angry straight white guy to review this show, AV Club, I believe in you.
I agree. The indie music scene should be non-ego-driven like the rest of popular culture.
At least is doesn’t include Beth talking about how confused she is after watching the ep.
It almost like Trendacosta wrote a draft review and Zach published it under his name without even reading it.
Hyperbolic but true.
Next year, we’ll learn about how a person can be factually correct yet still wrong, due to mindset and intention.
This review is 68% typos. Has the author ever read a single thing he’s written?
I thought this one was pretty terrific, with series-best performances from almost everyone in the cast (except Doug Jones, who had that last week).
Gives the episode a ‘B’ proceeds to tear it apart.... Incoming at 5...4...3...2...
