I hope we get more Deke. That actor is so handsome.

Apologies for being such a downer but I’ve kept silent all season

I’m going to miss Ian and Rollo(!) but I’m happy for both of them at the same time. That was the only good part of this episode for me in what was probably the lamest finale of the entire series. I mean, did we really need to see the deplorable slave owner getting it on with her godson?!

I thought that was one of the worst lip-syncs I have ever seen on this show. Just horrendous.

You mean the same way the abortions that were the TNG’s first and second seasons got what they deserved? Immature little brat.

No, they weren’t married, just long-time partners.

The constant music references and the speechifying needs to stop. Billy’s into girls? Okay, they did not set that up in any way whatsoever, but sure, let’s go with it, I guess.

The actor who plays Parker is unfortunately distractingly stiff.

I don’t give a shit what Jamie is doing; he doesn’t know any better. I’m much more concerned - and frankly, incensed- that Claire is fully collaborating in all this having full historical knowledge of the situation. She’s a (naturalized) American who travelled back in time to consciously steal the natives’ land and…

Still hating the way Roger and Brianna - a history professor and a history student - seem chronically unbothered by anything happening around them. Could they at least once act like people who just travelled back in fucking time?! Mutter a comment under your breath, I don’t care, just give me something.

Sure, it looks more approachable but the dialogue sounds dumber to me. Doesn’t that just look like a trailer for a CW show now? I’ll still watch the whole thing and try and go in with an open mind, but this show is probably doomed when it comes to getting renewed. Oh, well.

You must not have much of a sense of humour of you thought that was the only joke that worked. Also, Riker had a beard. Can we just stop projecting current (US) military regulations two centuries in advance?

Oh, so they dealt with the destructive effects of PTSD, sexual assault, and brainwashing in a single episode? How efficient of them.

Holy shit, he must be unbearable in the books if he’s less of a dick on the show. Because he’s just a rude abusive tosspot to everyone around him as the season progresses.

That looks amazing. And Anjelica friggin’ Huston as well!

Most of the reviews have been pointing out that it doesn’t get beyond dumb, glossy-looking fun in subsequent episodes either. And you know what? I have space in my brain for non-cerebral stuff like that as well. Loved the pilot and am excited for what comes next. Should it get smarter down the line, it’ll only be an…

Check out A Discovery Of Witches for the shits and giggles, you guys. It’s SO bad it’s good. Very entertaining in that regard.

Not just the (quality) slapstick, it was also incredibly witty and quirky, with jokes coming at you thick and fast constantly. Such a loss.

It’s always the betas who protest this stuff the loudest for some reason.

Yeah, what was so horrific about that scene? It’s not like she can have kids or anything. So judgy.
