One Piece has been on the air for 24 years. You’re not watching it the way it originally aired, LOL

Honestly, I’d settle for 13 episode seasons at this point, because even those seem to be getting rarer, with a lot of series just doing ten or eight. But 13 has always felt like a nice, sweet spot. . Enough to where you really feel like you’re getting scope and breadth, but not too many that you feel like they’re…

First, why aren’t there any episode reviews here? AVClub used to be my favorite go-to spot for consistent, reliable reviews but it has steadily devolved into a weak, sporadic gossip blog of various show productions, even before the pandemic and the industry strikes. Now on to the show itself...

NYC is highly underrated for making a ghost story out of the AIDS epidemic and being uncharacteristically tactful for a Murphy-Goop’s Hubby production. The Red Tide portion of Double Feature was also great until it faceplanted the landing. The only reason to watch the 2nd half is Sarah Paulson as Mamie Eisenhower…

This is a G.O.A.T. episode. I think its release date was to deliberately be awarded a 2024 Emmy(s), which would be the meta-phucking icing on the Star Trek cake! :-D :-P The entire silly yet thoughtful fun of it, including the clever jab at us Trekkers, made every moment instantly iconic. I was howling with laughter…

That BOIMLER RUN... LOL

I’ve been as critical of modern Trek as anyone. I genuinely don’t like Discovery. Picard Season 3 had some nice moments, but overall the show is bad. Strange New Worlds is good, but I haven’t felt like it has had a lot of truly great moments (which is admittedly a fairly high bar). Lower Decks is probably my favorite…

When Boimler does the booty walk, I died. :)

THAT WAS SO CREEPY!!!

I need a gif of Spock smiling.

“Is it a pinup poster?!”

One of the best hours of Trek ever - any series, any era.

Swings like this are why Star Trek has been knocking it out of the park in the streaming TV department lately.

That was great.

THAT. WAS. AWESOME.

Former students: Told ya he was one son of a bitch.

I ran across this series in 2023 via a live-chat influencer pushing YellowJackets; both targeting Millennials/Gen X to live vicariously through these “teens” in twisted Big Brother/Gilligan’s Island/NVXIM dark fantasy survivor dramas, while smugly pushing a Gen Z version of an idiots guide to “don’t talk to strangers”…

“Adding a bunch of boys to our all-girl survival drama sure seemed like a good idea...”
