Hey AV Club, I’m not sure whether anyone reads these comments, but here’s the thing.

Unpopular opinion, but I really liked the first season...up until the finale. I thought it had a fun and engaging cast of characters, some really interesting new ideas for the Star Trek universe (like all the post-Borg stuff) and was just a really great ride.

So why does the guy who zero knowledge of the show write the blurp for the trailer?

So, I’m assuming the pitch for your article was “rather than have someone give any real analysis of this thing I’m only tangentially aware of, I’ll just write about myself, because it’s guaranteed the readers will care more about my personal ignorance than the subject they clicked on the headline to read about”?

I very much disagree. The excitement and love towards Mando, Clone Wars, Rebels.

Star Trek fans have shit on everything since DS9 (which they only really liked in retrospect). 

Star Trek has always, always, always had a very healthy dose of time travel shenanigans, though.  Some of which were really good!

For real. Attending one dinner and attempting to forge some sort of relationship that isn’t fraught with political rhetoric and posturing for the base may actually result in the benefit of the doubt that leads to some positive event. These type of events used to be quite common place. Attempting to create some…

If you’re going to write about politics, you might want to have some basic knowledge of how all this works.

You can deride it as pageantry and going along to get along, but you only show how ignorant you are of the interplay between relationships, psychology, and leadership.

It’s teamwork 101 to provide opportunities for people to interact that are casual and not strictly about work. You’re more likely to bend for a person you know and respect rather than a person you’re assuming is the picture of everything you’re against. It also gives you insight on their motivations and ultimate…

And if Afro-Latina’s get power they will be exactly the same - why? Because people are awful. Find a group that isn’t awful and it is because they don’t have the power yet.

Given the facts presently known, I don’t buy into the lab leak theory. However, the facts presently known do not indicate a zoonotic origin with a high enough degree of certainty for me to exclude all other possibilities, such as the lab leak theory. I reserve the right to change my mind when/if the facts change.

Well, if there was an explosion of massive destruction happened in Iraq near a military base, after years of bragging about how they have been researching that exact type of explosion, would it be BS to believe that explosion have something to do with the military base?

It was. The author chose to be outraged when the reality is no one, including the UN or WHO, can do an impartial investigation because China isn’t allowing it. There’s also no dispute that China initially covered up the outbreak, regardless of its point of origin. The danger we have is the countries that refuse to be…

It’s also completely at odds with everything going on in the Maine and Canadian Lobster fisheries the last few years.

I remember reading an interview with her quite a while ago, but probably right in the wake of the first Hunger Games movie (so also post- X-Men First Class) where she talked about how much she hemmed and hawed over the decision to take the role because she hadn’t wanted or intended to ever do blockbuster-type films,…

There is no basis for a lawsuit there - that’s like saying that Tolkein could have sued every author who set up an epic story with elves and dwarves in it.  There’s lots of room in storytelling for a similar base premise to go in myriad directions.  If there weren’t, there wouldn’t be a million retellings of…

we just constantly need fresh meat. in 7 years someone will be having this same conversation about anya tayor-joy 

As a former Mormon myself, I can attest to this. I took several fiction writing courses at BYU and Stephanie Meyer was in one of them (which I only discovered years after the fact).
