That’s because too many fans get excited about a superficial version of the narrative in which Daenerys (oh, sorry, “Dany”) is the heroine of the show.

She’s gonna do it in the books too. Good luck.
Apologies for Daenerys turning out to be who she’s always been.
That was not what the show was telling you about Daenerys.
Which is a bummer, both because it’s a less narratively interesting choice—isn’t it cooler if Steve achieved worthiness over the course of Civil War and its complicated, grief-filled aftermath, rather than just inherently possessing it?
Replay was almost excellent but was near-ruined by an absolutely horrible speech scene at the school gates. Poor Sanaa Lathan.
Which makes this show, in an era of streamlined prestige TV with much smaller episode orders, not nearly good enough.
I love Jordan Peele, but are we ready to admit this show has been, uh, spotty at best?
Yeah, it’s not great so far and making allowances for creators we love does not help it. Frankly the review seems to rush through talking about the actual quality and leap to “but the message”.
The new Nightmare at 30K Feet is astonishingly bad.
Robia Scott is in fact the former Robia La Morte, Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Jenny Calender. IIRC she went full fundie some years ago.
It was taped live.
It’s been buzzy for its whole run, especially the last two seasons.
Yeah, this is what really pisses me off. There’s constant pressure now to make fans binge a show very very fast, versus allowing them to find and enjoy them at their own pace because they know that if you finish too soon the production schedule means you’ll be waiting close to another year for more. This was the case…
Rich, you were harder on Christina Hendricks than Michael Jackson.
He has endangered millions of LGBT/POC people for decades to come.
Fantastic. Because if he had anything to do with this I never want to hear his fucking name again.
I don’t know who you mean in that last paragraph in terms of apologies, but I’m pretty sure that if this turns out to be a work then Jussie owes the rest of us actual gay and/or black people an apology. I believed his story 100% and now I’m not just betrayed, I’m disgusted and furious. Because you’re right, this is…
It holds up.
Yes. There was more exploration, intelligent conversation, and moral philosophizing in the last two weeks than basically any Trek since the rare good episode of Voyager (or Enterprise’s final year if you want to be kind). First Handlen said Discovery was too unlike TNG. Now it’s too similar to old Trek. Which is it?
