The issue is that there are plus size actors who are available, under-cast and would do a great job in the role.

“There was no sketchy sexual politics”

Wow, who knew Busta was an idiot.

Ignoring basic logic eh? Just like the vaccines, masks are not 100% effective. Allowing kids to walk around without masks is more dangerous than having them all masked. It’s better then nothing. 

Obligatory:

I was going to give him a pass because I thought it was handkerchief that was used as face covering that was hastily tucked into his collar, but googling has revealed this picture was taken pre-pandemic. Why an ugly looking white ascot with a white shirt?! And why is the knot showing in the back?! I’m not against…

I’m more of a low-born wastrel than uncouth ruffian...but yeah, I’m not up on my archaic formalwear.

The Enterprise theme song callback was the longest and hardest I have ever laughed at Trek.

It gets substantially better by Episode 8, and Episode 9 is one of the standouts of the first season.

It’s not by any means standard on the vast majority of vehicles out there, it’s not even close to being mainstream. Most people don’t know it’s a thing that’s been around for a long time and I’ve never personally seen it on any car in my life. Dawson’s Ghost is not wrong at all.

Counterpoint: “wacky hijinks involving obscure aliens and nerdy callbacks from previous Star Trek shows” is precisely what I want from a Star Trek cartoon, and Lower Decks’ affection/reverence for the canon at least puts it a cut above the other NuTrek series.

I am many things, Kal-El, but here I am god.

Why doesn’t NBC use the ad space they were going to give away to advertise the Olympics? That way, more people will watch!

Sorry but no Greene isn’t a politician like McCarthy, McConnel, or Cruz who will pull stupid shit like this to appease their voting base. Those guys are manipulators who will do whatever to manipulate their voters to vote for them no matter how stupid or dangerous it is for the country. People like Greene though are…

She didn’t “Force fly.”  She Force-pulled herself to the ship.  Considering there’s no gravity, it’d be easier than, say, pulling a lightsaber to yourself while hanging upside-down.

I don’t see how anyone can look at the final shot of TLJ and think Rian Johnson has anything but love for Star Wars and the sense of wonder and possibility that the original trilogy stirred up in people.

I’m not saying he isn’t brave or that it isn’t impressive that he stands up to Kylo Ren. And yeah, Finn is, in part, seeing Kylo Ren as someone who took his life from him. But in that moment, Finn is undeniably motivated by a need to protect Rey—a woman who is his friend, but a woman who he fancies and just met. In…

Wait, what? Finn doesn’t have much of an arc? The guy starts the movie trying to run away from the war and ends the film ready to commit suicide for the rebellion. His arc is very clearly about learning to care about things other than saving his own skin. Also, the Canto Bigt stuff isn’t pointless. It’s a chance to…

The Force Awakens was responsible for Luke’s cynicism. It gave us a Luke that would abandon his friends and loved ones to die. Rian Johnson was left to explain what version of Luke could possibly do that.  He succeeded.

Said it before, but it’s still true: If Empire Strikes Back had come out after the invention of social media, it would be just as “hated” as Last Jedi. By which I mean, not hated at all, just whined about constantly by a small mob of manchildren who most media sources (including this article) insist on spotlighting at…
