I’m hit and miss with them. When I compare them to, say, the non-book readers threads on previously tv, I get why she comes up with some of the thoughts she does. And I have wildly different opinions to most of my fellow book readers from what I can tell (mostly because I think the books are horribly written after the…

Back when we were all still on Disqus I speculated the show could play with the lead poisoning down the line if they wanted since comic book lead poisoning wouldn’t have to actually resemble real world lead poisoning. Someone else in that thread rightfully pointed out that since it affects children more strongly, that…

I’ve got major bones to pick with Braga from the years he and Berman were in charge of the Trekverse at large (VOY and ENT). But the man can write a damned good episode of tv.

I attempted it but it didn’t work exactly. Then again, that might be for the best. Disqus used to arbitrarily switch me from my TheLabRat and Millahnna logins, often within the same comment thread. I can only imagine what that would have done to the comment migration thing.

Just replied to a comment on this week’s AHS and it would seem I’m still grey. Jane Says told me in another thread that her recommending a post takes that specific post out of the grey. But doesn’t seem to do anything for the poster at large. Meh. Not the end of the world. Even if I weren’t grey, Kinja still sucks.…

That was my big question after this episode. Does the cult know about Dr. Bro and does Dr. Bro know about the cult?

Totally a bot. Check the profile. That book seems to be all they can talk about. And yet they are out of the grey while the rest of the AV Club regulars still mostly languish.

Oh dude thanks for this. I completely forgot that flick existed. It’s amazing.

How have people not figured this out for themselves? As a species, I think we might be doomed.

I’m notoriously easy on anything genre but dammit if I don’t love this silly show. It’s good times McGee and I hope it finds a solid enough footing to overcome ratings and critics so as to get renewed.

Definitely agreed on both counts. But in both cases I thought it made for interesting characters, though I completely take bahamut’s point about Polaski needing a foil. Her attitude towards Data may have been antagonistic on a similar level to Bones’s towards Spock, but they never used Data’s character equivalently in…

Word. I’m of the opinion that other than a few specific quirks (some shaky dialogue and an awkward plot beat or two), the first of the reboot films was bloody brilliant in how exactly it paid homage to TOS. Most of the purists who bitch about it have no idea what they are talking about. Hell I don’t even mind the…

Since much of the preair write ups about the show specifically described Green’s character as being the first officer for two different captains (Yeoh and the dude whose name I’m blanking on who we see in the extended season trailer), I assumed Yeoh was going to die in the first handful of episodes. It still made me…

It’s such a tiny thing but it really bugged when, in the scene where the Pearsons find out they are having triplets, at first Jack asks if this is when they find out if they are having a boy or a girl. That wasn’t doable in 1980. Back then finding out the sex of a fetus was called being in labor. I know, it’s TWOP…

Donna drunkenly repeating her advice to her daughter verbatim was a particularly painful plot beat for me. I know me some drunk mom. That shit was spot on.

I loved Pulaski. She was Bones as a woman. I can totally get behind that.

Which is hilarious because Trek and X Files are essentially the origin of modern piracy practices.

The Cage is my all time favorite TOS episode. I think the version of it that eventually aired with the series is better than the original version that was supposed to be the pilot though. Long live Captain Pike yo.

Not that I don’t agree with the general criticisms of the show this season but I found it a great improvement over the first season which I thought was generally awful on a “boring AF” level until the back half. So I guess I’m still in until it gets canceled, warts and all, since at least this year it was actually…

Kinja. Always Kinja.
