Anthony Mackie steps into Joel Kinnaman’s “Stack” for...

Yes, the most bare-bones description of the movie is about liberals hunting conservatives. But the movie isn’t pro-liberal, nor is pro-conservative. If anything, it’s anti-both of them, aiming to be a humorous, over-the-top action satire showing the worst extremes and how that can lead to major issues.

I never read the books, but I enjoyed the first season. It’s rare to be able to be so completely immersed in a truly built fictional world. I didn’t even mind it took so long to be told. It was like savoring a drink rather than gulping it down. I even enjoyed Joel Kinnaman. I hope the second will be the same even…

Yeah, it’s a shame we’ll be losing her. I’m really hoping we see her show up in another season somehow.

Wanting Daughters of the Dragon is always a worthwhile wish :-)

I’m really going to miss Ortega though :-( But more Quell and Poe (and Mackie) is always good!

It had it’s flaws for sure but I’m a huge neo noir and cyberpunk fan, so it hit just the right itch for me. This one is looking to be a step up, though.

I was kinda meh about the first season, but I’m excited for this.

I desperately hoped Ezri’s rejection of Worf and Jadzia’s (and Curzon’s) rosy view of the Empire was gonna lead to something. I mean, Picard was the Arbiter of Succession...and in less than a decade both claimants were dead. I would really rather the Empire died. Or else we have to reconcile how a monocultural, militan…

like what JJ Abrams did with Star Trek and Star Wars!

I love Demolition Man. It’s one of my favorite comedy ever. Great orld-building, great one-liners, great chemistry between the csst. It’s amazing.

I get that some people ironically like escape from new york in some sort of hideous, depraved 80s performative-fetishism. But even with that caveat, this sounds like the worst thing to happen since the evolution of life on earth.

Yep the Klingon trial episode with the Duras ancestor basically was a deep dive into the fact Klingons had a very normal society with scholars and lawyers, and then the warriors took control and clamped down hard on the idea anything not directly about killing others and conquest made you weak.

We also saw (in Enterprise I think) that the Klingons kind of went down a dark path in a relatively short period of time and that warriors weren’t always the be all end all thing everyone in society wanted to be. Enterprise has a lot of issues but I kind of liked the idea that they used to be a more well rounded and…

Laris smacking the captive upside the head for being a stubborn Northerner was a definite highlight.

Trek gets much deserved criticism in general for defining its aliens with broad strokes. Klingons are honor-obsessed warriors, Romulans are sneaky, Ferengi are greedy, etc. But something that I think that sometimes is forgotten is that the TNG to Enterprise era also did a lot of work to muddy those waters and try to…

I love that Romulus has had an Ireland.

Also explaining that the slightly different forehead styles are native geographical distinctions, is a much better explanation for why the Romulans looked different between series’ than the bullshit excuse they came up with for the Klingon’s appearing, then disappearing, then…

There are a few of them who survive, eking out a meager existence making reality television shows for the E! Network.

Considering how bad the Federation and Starfleet treated the Romulans, I’d hate to see what happened to the Cardassians after the Dominion War. They probably sold them off as meat to zoos.
