Squire of Gothos, anyone? Trelane (the OG Q) took an interest, so why not

see, that’s just it. it’s the fame component. When Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner, there was a period (i’ll resist calling it a trans-ition) when it was perfectly acceptable to give the former name to lend context.

if “Joe Nobody” transitions, they should expect more privacy and agency over what name they are…

I’ll repeat it here since I can’t get out of the grays at io9
This “time sickness” has a TOS precedent.
Mr. Atoz had to “prepare” the people of Sarpedon to go into their own past to escape the supernova. Spock wasn’t prepared and started to go feral.

is it really serializing if you just take the plot of a decent 3 hour movie and split it into half hour chunks.

Do you think only starships used dilithium to regulate their reactors? It was basically everywhere from starbases to planetary reactors for everyday power.

Hey, it worked for Star Trek...last year they brought in an established way more popular character from the past who also completely overshadowed the star of the series to the point where he earned a spinoff series

so it strikes me that Amy Adams is playing the evil Mirror Universe version of her character in “Junebug”where she was also faced with economic and societal problems, but kept her optimism

THIS^^^^. and if they HAD come up with a new joined species this week, no doubt the author would have said “Why not just use the Trill?”

Disco’s new motto: “Damned if we do, Damned if we don’t”

I knew what kind of film I was in for the second I heard the school name was “Rancho Carne” i mean, come on, “Meat Farm”?

The setting would be a natural for a college admissions scandal story where Torrence is accused of buying her kid into cheer college.

that’s some honest, genuine frontier gibberish, I wish my children were here to hear that

its what happens when Jack Black stops answering his phone and Jonah Hill is busy

Ha. “Fridging”. It’s funny because it’s true for once

Thats an interesting point. The klingons were made up much more realistically You could make a much stronger case against the klingons, but then you would have to face the "how come the bad guys are all black" backlash. I think Worf was the first Klingon played by a black actor

if they had Gorshin painted in “brown as black” skin tone and left his “white” half as is, it might be a thornier issue, but he was literally black (beyond skin tone range) and white (beyond skin tone range).

or a Wizard of Oz situation

well, that and you had those god-awful internal monologues on Dexter where he droned on about every little thing to justify what he was doing.

What gripes me is that for a show about murderers, the main characters carry an awful lot of “plot armor” they’ll kill a red shirt here or there, but if you’re Konstantin or Eve or Villanelle or Carolyn, nothing short of a tactical nuke will take you out

It didn’t hit me until the rerun of last week’s episode, but the idea of a vampire putting a toothpick in his mouth is a very badass move. Akin to a human keeping a hand grenade in his mouth with the pin pulled.

take your star, sir!
