Right, because previous Trek shows only hired serious thespians, like Iggy Pop, Mick Fleetwood, or Joe Piscopo. Me still confounded by people hating Disco for doing exactly what other Trek shows have done, but with better pacing and special effects and no silly throwaway episodes.

You can tell we’re in a post-Kinjapocalyptic landscape because this article completely fails to mention the single-greatest AVC interview of all time, in which Bronson Pinchot says, among other things:

This would be great time for comeback. After Dubya, Palin, and Trump, Dan Quayle look like Lincoln by comparison.

At this point Murphy Brown’s out-of-wedlock child is now old enough to have their own out-of-wedlock child. Cue outrage from Dan Qayle’s kids.

We wrestled with this all. the. time. Here, I’m inclined to use the latitude offered in the intro of the BJCP guidelines: “Styles change over time. Beer styles change over the years, and some styles are open to interpretation and debate. Simply because a style name hasn’t changed over the years, doesn’t mean that the…

If this show doesn’t have Frank sick a polar bear on some mobsters by punching it in the face I will be disappointed.

So, all the bros who spent the last few months screaming at Katie Rife for daring to talk about this and INSISTING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT until some accusers came forward and until then this was just a plot by mean ol’ Jezebel and AV Club to smear poor Louie...

Sigh. Me afraid me have to agree. And me loved Zack’s reviews of earlier Trek series — they one of favorite things AVC ever did. But me very frustrated with Star Trek fans who not willing to let new show be new show and not retread of everything that came before.

I get why people are frustrated with the show, and your review touches on some of what I consider to be the strengths and weaknesses here, but when a reviewer comes right out and says they cannot review a show on its own merits, I am forced to wonder if they’re the right person for the task.

I have a lot of respect for…

Huh, The Onion’s EIC resigned over Univision/Kinja
