So hyped, a few more hours.

That’s not a hot take; it’s something any sane and reasonable human over the age of 17 would accept as fact.

Hot take: Florence + The Machine’s “Shake It Out” is vastly superior to Swift’s “Shake It Off” anyway.

Rome was a great show that had the misfortune of airing at a time when HBO was still slightly budget conscious. If it premiered a few years later it would’ve run five seasons.

Now if we could just get the av club to decide to try being a good website and bring back Community Grades.

That’s what I’m hoping. It’s kind of like the current writing staff wants to go slightly away from Fuller’s original idea but couldn’t fully do that in season 1 due to already being committed.

I feel like this show is being destroyed by this site, the white that promtes series like modern family and the like instead of episodic reviews of great tv series that only appear on here for the first and last episodes of their seasons.

I know it’s hard to review a Star Trek show without being influenced by the franchise’s long history. But we also tend to focus on the best episodes of previous Treks. For good reason, the best episodes are the most memorable. But fans have to stop acting like every other episode of Trek was a “Balance of Terror” or…

You’re not being ambitious enough. I propose that we petition CBS to re-edit the original series, because that’s chock-full of suspect characters who really need to go: non-whites like Uhura and Sulu; probably Spock too (because if race-mixing is wrong, how much worse is species-mixing?). And while we’re at it, Scotty…

What show do you think you’ve been watching your whole pitiful life?

Could you put your mom on the phone?

Refinement is the right word. There’s a lot of good stuff here, but also a lot of stuff that’s just really sloppy. Hopefully less behind-the-scenes chaos in season 2 will help with that.

Because this site fucking sucks now.

Conservatives demanding representation quotas for shows is so fucking funny. “I need more straight white males!!!”

There are fair criticisms about the finale to be made - a bit rushed and anticlimactic and wraps everything up a bit too neatly. That being said, I like how they’ve left the door open for MU Georgiou and Tyler to both show up again in the future. Also, the discourse about choosing which path to end the war (with peace…

It’s not even changed. *This* is Star Trek. And she didn’t become a leader (or thought she didn’t deserve to be one) because she was a woman. It’s because she was an idealist.

SJW bullcrap? Straight white male dead? Female Klingon in charge?

I don’t understand doing individual reviews in addition to a season (of however many episodes) review, particularly when it’s clear the show isn’t very interesting. Indeed, this very site lamented the fact that Altered Carbon was overshadowed by the stupid Cloverfield stunt... but AV Club has also neglected to do…

Clint Howard alone makes this episode at least a B.
