To each their own. Personally, I loved it. Does it give Lorca’s behaviour a cop out? Probably. Did they hang a lantern on the twist? Absolutely not.

Seriously, can someone less emotional and maybe a little more objective start reviewing Discovery? You know, someone who can actually discuss pros and cons of an episode without having a meltdown? Maybe a review like this - https://www.avclub.com/burnham-meets-the-emperor-and-discovery-finds-a-new-gro-1822278505

Good question. At least as far as his movie goes, he could have been in the “Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain” loop for eons.

Isn’t that what we’ve been saying for years? Superman isn’t good, but it shows potential for Batman v Superman. Batman v Superman isn’t good, but it gets me excited for Justice League. Justice League is OK, but it makes me look forward to...

Yeah, I’m bored with these. The superhero genre is saturated and DC was way too late in getting its act together. Now that their movies have graduated from terrible to mediocre, people like me are starting to tune out.

Didn’t we already see this show before in the late 80’s?

Shit, just give the FF to Brad Bird.

Okay, if this happens (and that’s a big if), here’s what should go down:

As a guy, I just want to say that this is tough. I want to be clear that the guys who did this stuff was wrong, but men are left in a Catch-22. I’m sure I will be eviscerated, but here goes the reasoning.

He doesn’t look like Shazam in the least. Shazam should be played by Ian McKellan or someone like that. Christopher Lee would have been perfect. Definitely Shazam needs an actor who can do the ancient Wizard thing convincingly. This Levi kid isn’t that, but he would make a great Billy Batson.

I do not envy Zachary’s pituitary system over the next few years. That’s gonna be a lot of WB funded steroids.

Pfft, take your complaints to Steve Jobs.

I personally had a totally opposite experience with this episode and feel it’s one of the best of Trek ever. Out of any series.

That’s been my rationale since the days of Kazaa and Limewire.

Is the thought the people who pirate media would be unlikely to pay for the content anyway even if that was the only alternative?

Wowe, dem prices tho.

I hope that every morning Chuck Schumer sends Trump an email that says:
