And so screamed the entirety of the gay bar I went to tonight simultaneously.

Kennedy is for sure a strong queen, especially when compared to Roxxy (talk about damning with faint praise) but I don’t see her growing and I still see some of those bitter traits coming forward. Personally, she’s not my kind of Queen. I sympathize with her, especially regarding Milk, but I still can’t root for her.

Perhaps he did not relish it as much as I. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

The hero speech at the end belonged to Saru, not Burnham. Through the whole season, he’s never faltered, never gave up Starfleet ideals, never sacrificed morality for expediency. He’s the character who grew, who started the season jealous that Burnham was being groomed for a command and ended as a character who grew…

Toad takes off his mushroom cap, tosses it onto the hat rack, and sighs.

“I guess Voq has been fridged for now”

So Movie is still not as scary as the price of the tour of the actual House.

Saru: “I do not believe in no win scenarios!”

Last night’s Star Trek: Discovery was a pretty good episode of Battlestar Galactica.

Burnham definitely set some firm boundaries, but I didn’t think Lorca seemed particularly upset by them (though there are certainly darker ways to interpret that, too).

I don’t really disagree with any of Zack’s observations, but I don’t know, it’s still mostly working for me. But I absolutely agree that the show needs to settle down and decide what and who it’s about.

But... She’s so baaaaaaad at it.

He’s, what - leaving on a jet plane? Don’t know if he’ll be back again?

The first clue that Georgiou wasn’t long for this world was when Michelle Yeoh showed up in the credits as a “special guest star”. Plus the promotional clips couldn’t resist showing off the special effects of the battle scenes, which made it pretty clear the Shenzou was going to wind up crippled (at best). So I can’t…

Man, it is SO GOOD to have Star Trek back on television. I didn’t realize just how much I missed it until the start of the premiere and hearing all the technobabble, and figuring out the timeline re: the Klingons, and all that good stuff.

If nothing else, the show understands the most important rule of Starfleet: anybody above the rank of captain is completely useless.

Agree to disagree but season two of TNG was not a good season by any margin. There were some diamonds in the rough like Moriarty. Once Crusher and Borg are on the scene it takes off.

This is exactly where I’m at with this show. It increasingly feels like an unlicensed TNG spin-off, but there’s a large TNG shaped hole in my life, and I’m happy to watch even a passable imitation of it. The characters really aren’t grabbing me yet, but there are hints of potential. And I could watch Adrianne…

Yeah, this one seems like a great big mess already. You’d think dangerous clowns would fit perfectly in a satire of Trumpism, but good satire usually has to have a laser-like focus, and that’s completely at odds with Ryan Murphy’s attention deficit style. The clowns look good— great designs— but I already feel tired…

There was one scene that felt genuinely tense to me - Peters getting up to give his ridiculous nihilist-bro speech to the city council and then seething with resentment at being swatted away. There was an edge to that - what he’s saying is repulsive but they underestimate just what he might represent. Otherwise it…
