I don’t follow... are you requesting validation of colossally stupid anecdotes and/or opinions?

Why is avclub ignoring this? Because it doesn’t fit with their claim that TLJ was a critical success?

Never mind this, the real TLJ news of the week is yesterday’s Plinkett Review from RedLetterMedia!

Oh, tell us more about unreasonable outrage, guy who imagined a backlash in order to bemoan it. See if you can work the phrase “female actress” back in there while you’re at it.

Listen, pal, I grew up with Star Wars. I ate, drank, and slept the original trilogy in both original and Special Edition flavors (Han shot first, BTW), suffered through the prequels, read the Thrawn Trilogy and am still trying to scrub Jedi Prince and Jedi Apprentice out of my memory...and I still don’t get why the…

Why not watch it and form your own opinion? 

I agree with you, but I think Burnham’s relationship with Sarek actually ended up being a low-key highlight of the first season. The reveal that he derailed her career in favor of Spock, who would go on to reject his father, is some grade A dramatic irony. Also, I really like the concept of a human raised in an alien…

First Star Trek was a good stepping stone and Beyond was actually good.

I mean, comparing military salaries to civilian salaries is apples to oranges because in the military you get your housing, food, dental, and medical fully paid for or you get tax-free allowance for housing and food.

Damn this is a really sad story. Their little blog even had maps of the routes they took. Seemed like very nice people just trying to enjoy their own life, without hurting others. Per usual, we see all the one-liners from the anonymous void, mocking the situation. What’s so funny about this? Guess I’m just not cool…

EDIT: See ThisIsClearlyARussianBotIMeanCmon‘s comment. It’s a half-hour video but it is what I was trying to say and couldn’t.

I thought so as well, although the other commentators are making a big deal about the eye roll. The server might have been having a bad day, really needed the money, or whatever, and just didn’t control his or her initial reaction. Just slip the actual tip onto the table, or go back in after getting grandma into the…

Okay everyone. Nuclear engineer here.

This is a bunch of overblown nonsense. When they say “too low to result in a health hazard,” let me illustrate just how low that risk is: remember the “radioactive tuna” panic in the year after earthquake? Yeah, it turns out you would have to eat 20 servings of the most highly…

“I saw how a mediocre show in Stranger Things was able to just simply use nostalgia to become highly popular. Knowing that the first Wonder Woman wasn’t very good, had horrible effects, bad acting and an over-reliance on slow motion, I knew I needed a gimmick for this next one. And the 80s were it!”

I know, such a silly argument. Especially when Captain Sisko is better than both of them!

Counter-counterpoint, the opening bank robbery scene in The Dark Knight is one of the best opening scenes in all of cinema. Discuss.

It’s kind of you to spare men from having to endure your company. 

The “Jack Ryan” series is one of my favorites in “fun fiction”. I worry over Amazon’s direction that this is just a title to have for a thriller. Jack Ryan was never Spec Ops he just wandered into them. I feel Amazon just bought this title for “let’s kill Muslims” show. 

Imagine for a moment, that you are a female civil rights activist in Putin’s Russia. Now, you know that no matter what you do, if you actually succeed in your goal of drawing attention to the horrendous state of human rights in your country, you are going to go to jail. And you will be abused. And you may never get…
