I haven't gotten around to watching that episode (I think it's in Season 1), but I'll put it on the list for a rewatch.

That episode freaked me out as a kid, and I don't think I ever saw it again after its initial broadcast. That first season is a wasteland. Even Season 2 has a handful of really stellar episodes. "Measure of a Man," "Elementary, Dear Data," and "A Matter of Honor" are all good to great episodes of television.

I've always felt like my Trek fandom went through different phases. As a kid, I liked everything because I was not terribly discerning and it was a cool space show. When I got older, I became a bit more embarrassed by the show's inconsistent quality. As an adult, I learned to love the bad episodes as campy and…

It's a fine show, even if it does lean a little too much on nostalgia. The major problem I have with the show is that it kind of overshadowed Jeff Nichols's Midnight Special, which took early Spielberg but actually developed a more original take on that style of film.

We're not pieces of meat. We have internal lives, and we're interested in more than just finding a romantic partner!

Once again, the conservative, vinyl-heavy portfolio pays off for the snooty investor!

I'd like to think that the fact that certain characters who I identified with as a kid and teenager I now find insufferable constitutes personal growth on some level.

Oh, Anya. Xander didn't deserve you. Also, I'll never forgive him for leaving you at the altar like that.

"Everywhere I go, there's always an asshole." — One of those kids to the Gorgon…probably.

You and your classmates lacked dedication.

I'm looking forward to the scene where Supergirl tricks Sorbo into a logical cul-de-sac and gets him to finally admit that God exists after all.

Maybe that makeup line was a low blow, but fuck it. She's a defending a demagogue and straight up lying to the media. I can't feel too bad about it.

I used to be impressed by Kellyanne Conway's ability to lie about anything with a straight face, but with the "alternative facts" and "Bowling Green Massacre" fiascoes, maybe she's starting to lose her touch. Also, the way she nearly broke down during her interview with Chris Wallace suggests that maybe she's finally…

I'm pretty sure it was Stan Lee. I mean, didn't that guy like invent all the comic books?

…but not literally?

How much do you want to bet some producers says, "This version is much closer to the source material."

I'll take a stab at defending this dumb movie. I really liked the original film as well as the comics it was based on. I'm often drawn to film noir because it's cynical and dark, and that's how I view the world from time to time. Miller essentially takes the essence of film noir and cranks it up to eleven, and while…

Maybe I'm being a bit too cynical, and you're right that Villeneuve is a much better director than Abrams. I just hope that he has enough time to make movies that weren't originally someone else's franchise.

Mob, ready the torches.

As much as I like Villeneuve and hope he gets to make plenty more films with big studio money, this seems like a lazy choice on the part of the studio. Some producer must have said to himself, "Hey let's get that guy who's doing a sequel. remake, whatever for that other 80s sci-fi film." It probably played out…
