“The Orville is basically already a show for people who wanted star trek to be star trek again.”

The Wrath of Dukat

As long as it’s called Star Trek: Sisko Returns, I have no complaints.

Ah, right I forgot how literal and unfamiliar with human behavior people are in this time period.

Why would you be disappointed there were no mutants? That’s something the fans 100% invented as potentially being part of the show, so it’s on them if it didn’t pan out. Might as well be disappointed that Santa Claus didn’t show up. I loved the Pietro fake out, personally. It fit in well with the TV fakeness of the TV…

Seeing him immediately you think of other movies.

Wanda is supposed to be this horrible evil that’s destined to destroy the Earth, but we saw no hints of that in the show. If Agatha hadn’t said anything we would have no reason to believe that Wanda is going to become some huge threat. You need to show, not tell.

I could only watch half of season 1, I found Whitman’s character deeply irritating.

You don’t spend your own fake cash. You get others to spend it for you. You make it and transfer it for real cash so the feds can’t pin point you. With thousands of people spending the fake money; it’s harder to spot who is doing it. Which is why laundered money is usually tied to drugs so it goes out further away…

There are sections of Roman roads extant in Europe that still show the ruts carved by hundreds of years of wagons traveling over them.  I think I35 between The Silo in Waco and The Pioneer Woman Mercantile in Pawhuska OK (about 400 miles N/NW) is going to be like that.  Vast herds of middle aged white women,…

Might say these are not additional details, but the only real details he has ever released. At all. From a second hand source.

“It is wild that Chip Gaines’s existential crisis caused by the rigors of sudden fame is being compared, somehow, sort of, to a professional runner’s four battles with cancer, but perhaps their audience will find this inspirational.”

The most fascinating thing about them is that they’re objectively bad at what they do, but the masses lap it up.

If there's one good thing about 2020, it made me forget all about that silliness.

Yes.

How anyone could watch ‘Firefly’ and not know that Whedon is racist is beyond me. That thing just screamed Confederate sympathiser.

I’m half-suspecting the “angry black man” conversation was actually more like:

The irony is that Warner Brothers owns all that IP. All of it. Batman, Superman, Cyborg and the entire gang. They own the stuff. That’s reality. If one of his big issues is “the studio recut a 250 million dollar movie because they didn’t want another critical and commerical bomb and also they wanted some of that…
