If Lorca turns out to be a good guy, I’m going to be disappointed. I’m pretty sure they’re setting him up as a villain or at least anti-hero. But there are a lot of DSC fans who disagree with me and defend Lorca’s choices as moral and just.

I came here to make a similar comment, but you beat me to it.

Me too! Though the debate was probably Mary Shelley vs. Lord Byron back in the day. I have no idea if this was an actual debate in the 1820s.

Lost to Google, too. Care to bring me up to speed?

Or Mary Shelley vs. John Polidori.

When I started Stranger Things, I was pretty sure the monster was summoned by the DnD game. They didn’t go there in season 1, but we’ll see where we end up.

Have you seen the indie film Dark Dungeons? You might enjoy the humorous take on the Chick Tracks fear-mongering around DnD.

I’m excited two of K.A. Applegate’s recent novels, Crenshaw and The One and Only Ivan, are both getting movies. However, I am still waiting for a good Animorphs TV show. Netflix series, anyone?

I’ve read io9 and TMS for years, too, and used to rely on their reviews to select what to watch. However, lately I feel like io9 assumes most movies/tv shows will be bad until proven otherwise, as suggested by the headline of this article. Or they struggle to give a fair review of a beloved franchise, in the case of St…

I was happy to get an update from the campaign yesterday because we were coming up on the original time frame for the premieres and I was starting to worry because I hadn’t heard anything. I am traveling out of state to attend the LA premiere. It will be my first time attending a Star Trek anything!

My last grandparent passed away earlier this year, a WWII veteran. My students (college freshmen), bless them in their earnestness, don’t know anyone who lived through the Great Depression or was an adult during World War II. I think many people today don’t realize how recent the past was.

The anti-vaxxers have shown up in the grays. They must be organized to comment on any pro-vaccine article.

I know having a kid with autism must come with its challenges, but viewing autistic people as broken or deficient or a burden probably makes it 10x harder to raise an autistic kid than if we viewed neurodiversity as a healthy part of a thriving family and society. I suspect ableism is a big driver of the anti-vaccine…

In the prequel novel, Spock tells Pike that Burnham is “a friend of my family” and that they didn’t interact much due to their age difference.

I think you’re confusing Jason Mamoa for Blake Shelton.

I thought Stamets was seeing into the future, but the io9ers convinced me it was the Mirror Verse and that we’re about to see Captain Tilly.

Now I see both of them listed as the author. I haven’t seen anything about her leaving posted here, but I just checked her Twitter and she does confirm she’s leaving. I wonder if readers being tired of her DSC coverage had anything to do with it.

How come Katharine Trendacosta listed as the author of this article, but all of the replies are @Beth Elderkin?

That, and there is no reason that 1 season = 1 year of time passing in-universe. They can jump forward if they’d like to accelerate Burnham’s move to Captain. I’d always assumed Discovery was as how about how she became Captain anyhow.

io9 only writes reviews the “major” genre shows now. Not sure why, maybe so it doesn’t overlap with AV Club? Maybe they just don’t have the same level of hatred for The Orville to warrant weekly reviews. Nonetheless, the io9 reviews of the Orville were negative so I almost skipped watching it, but my husband convinced…

And Kira and Ezri in the mirror verse. I hadn’t heard about that one, so I was pleasantly surprised when I finished up DS9 for the first time a few years ago!
