Aren’t we a fun species? There is no universal right answer to anything, because it’ll always offend somebody.

Sooo, you're saying one Wong isn't enough, but two Wong's make a right?

But, maybe doing it this way will prevent it from being CSI: Space Station.

Yeah, I’m really not sure if the show being on the digital service means studio execs will be meddling a bunch (“this is a very important product for our service, it has to be perfect, aka reach out to the ideal demo and blah, blah corporate jargon!”) or if it means they’ll be more hands off (“the show is on what? The…

Such a good time for genre television!

I also hate all things Slitheen, but after a re-watch of Boomtown, it’s not as bad as I originally thought. A lot of it works really well.

And that’s why the Jedi were almost wiped out.

The Search For Spock still has some damned fine moments of comedy, too.

Trust me, Urban has plenty to do in BEYOND—and comes close to stealing the whole movie.

Nobody actually liked Avatar. It was more like “Oh wow this is stunning” during the movie, and then “Holy crap that was the most one-dimensional storyline ever to be deemed Oscar bait”.

That scene really deserved to be in a better movie. To hear McCoy reveal that a cure for his father’s illness was found soon after his death was absolutely heartwrenching.

I just got their titles

Beyond does remedy it. In fact, Karl Urban almost passed on the third movie because he thought Bones was wasted in the first two until he read the script, if I recall correctly.

Well, the big problem with her was that the Pulaski and Data relationship was almost cringingly one sided. With Pulaski being a dick and Data taking it in (mostly) silence. Whereas Spock would dish out barbs as good as he got from Bones.

Yep. Karl Urban gets this. He gets why Bones does what he does. I’m not sure anyone else understands that like Urban does. They’ve definitely all settled into the roles a little (except Zoe Saldana, whose performance still sticks out like a sore thumb to me) better than previous movies.

What I like about McCoy is that he’s just as logical and pragmatic as Spock. It’s just that for him, it comes from an emotional rather than intellectual place. Which obviously is why they hated each other.

Arguably they should. Or at least there should be a limit on witness testimony as it is unreliable in the short term let alone the long. Actually that seems like the best compromise to it to me (limiting witness testimony but allowing physical evidence).

I’d argue that Babylon Five had the better idea, and the better story to tell, but that Deep Space Nine ultimately had the better execution, and so holds up better over all. Partly thats down to the cast changes and executive meddling on B5, and the fact that its effects don’t hold up so well. Partly its because DS9…
