I feel like we’re being Punk’d with this song... is Ashton Kutcher gonna jump out from behind this kid at some point, shove cameras in our collective faces, and laugh? I’ve definitely heard worse music in my life, but the fact that this song is actively a Thing has me head-scratching and shooketh.

Oh, Bill... I always have this crossroad with him where I ***almost*** agree with the overall point he thinks he’s so brilliantly making, but then Bill Maher just gets in there and takes a dump in Bill Maher’s mouth. His smugness ruins any valid thing he’s trying to say, and he views things with such a republican…

The Comedian wasn’t bad, it just... was an episode of a show that happened. After the first “hit” joke and disappearance, all the cards were on the table, and then another 30+ minutes happened with diminishing returns. I liked the idea of the episode, but when everything is laid out so early, the rest if the runtime…

I feel like this is yet another case of us on the Left feasting on one of our own. We’re *so* painfully determined to come across as fair that we pounce on one of our own the instant they step near the line... not even over it, not toeing it, but near enough to the line that we feel this compulsive need to slap their…

What a shocker! One Trek fan trying to police another fan’s viewpoint because YOU think what you enjoy is the only way of being a fan! Now there’s an original plot twist! Leave me to my fandom and I won’t show up on your street corner the next time you’re giving a weak ass handjob and tell you how I think it should be…

Don’t disagree :-) I *love* Star Trek so much that I’m sincerely just jazzed to have new Trek back on tv; Trek that’s exciting (to me), with characters I enjoy and a beautiful aesthetic. Fully a fanboy who’s stoked on his Fruit Loops cereal. 

I say again: We are watching completely different shows.

Prevaricate much?

You wrong. Thank u, next.

Agreed :-) The fact that he moves like a piece of kelp under water in EVERY scene shows how committed he is to the role, and I adore that. Those actors are what make for the most memorable Trek characters.

I agree with you that the orb’s storyline was largely wasted. But I guess I’d also “argue” the story wasn’t about the orb in the first place and that the orb’s story has been done to death on Star Trek, so this was a different spin inasmuch that this Big Bad was only a means to an end, and not meant to be the central…

This sack of coke-sniffle shit standing there talking about wanting to help HIV/AIDS sufferers, in spite of the last 2+ years of his admin’s open hatred of us gays, with that turd muffin Pence frown-clapping behind him, is so fucking enraging. I want to vomit.

Is it too much to hope his tiny, shriveled prune of a Grinch heart pops on live television? I just... I hate him so very much for everything he represents. Ignore everything he’s said and done: it’s the mindset, the unearned over-confidence of straight men, the forceful stupidity, the willful ignorance of the wealthy,…

The best part about the Super Bowel is that I won’t have to see anything in my news feed about spoiled-brat-jock, wife beating, ‘roided out millionaires running around on a field for at least the next 6-7 months.

I actually really enjoyed Phlox :-) An I agree with you in Crusher... enjoy the character but she was kinda milquetoast. I also, weirdly, like the tension Pulaski brought in her season. A flawed, prejudiced type but you could see where, if they had kept her, she would’ve softened.

Agreed! When she popped up I was hopeful she’d become a non-background character, too. They kinda wasted Wilson Cruz in the first season. His doctor was just sort of... there. They didn’t develop his character at all or give him much room to breathe in scenes, other than being Stamet’s love interest.

I don’t really know how to feel about this episode. It definitely wasn’t a bad episode, but it left me feeling the way I always do about Klingon episodes: shrugworthy. The Klingons are juuuust one step ahead of the Ferengi for me in terms of groan-inducing episodes of Trek. DS9 did a loverly job of creating…

Agreed. Traditional Trek (much as I adore it) always followed the same format: Act 1 is where the problem occurs. Potential fix to the problem happens and fails in Act 2. Act 3 builds to the solution, solution looks like it might not happen, and then it gets fixed in the final 5-10 minutes. Which was fine, I adore…

Given the Republican party’s benefactors, you’d think red would be more appropriate...

She did the old-suit on one of the Christmas Queens tours I’ve seen her on. It was funny enough live, but on tv it just looked messy and missed the mark.
