Is Paul charming?

His presidential run and willingness to quit in favor of Mencken are not harmless. Conservative politics has observable consequences in real life.

I don’t understand what makes this dark, aside from E killing himself towards the end.  To be fair, that was quite dark.

Stamets and Culber need their own show. At the end of last season, Stamets was angry enough, with good reason. He and Culber could have great lives at Starfleet HQ doing interesting work on new technology etc. DASH technology. Displacement Activated Spore Hub - they set up the acronym and then everyone just calls it…

When Tilly became acting first officer, I thought it was extremely dumb. There were a lot of people on that ship and on that bridge who would want that job and think of themselves as “next in line.” Instead of that, the bridge is a hangout comedy and each of them took a step forward and told her to “say yes.”…

I guess but Starfleet should already know this and not put her in command of such a vital strategic asset.  Or, write her better and make this character the only choice in Starfleet’s mind.

The only way Superman villain is interesting is if he begins as an agent of destructive US foreign policy and comes around to...disillusionment with US foreign policy.  Like the main characters.  But then it becomes a Superman movie if he gets a strong arc like that.  He doesn’t have to become evil for this - he just…

TV and movies hate public schools and rrrrrrreeeeally hate teacher unions.

It’s possible that this show is good but the tweets make it look like teaching 5th grade is this guy’s failure in life and folks that’s trash.

Lucas said offhandedly once that Twi’leks all have French accents so now that’s what we’re doing.

If you decide to watch Rebels, I advise finding a guide or something that directs you to the good episodes.  I couldn’t take it at the beginning.

If experiencing that type of pain turns him, it will be really thin. His response to pain shouldn’t be the same as Edge’s as an alienated teen. Unless the red beam is some kind of mind control, but it didn’t seem that way.  Edge hasn’t been reading as someone under mind control.  I guess we’ll see how this turns out. …

Sure that’s the business case but I’m not talking about that.

It seems like they could manage the budget pretty easily by getting rid of the really expensive songs they’ve been using.  Or are those not expensive?

The only CW show this could cross over with is Black Lightning.  The tone and focus on family dynamics is similar on both.

Mike is...not good

It was a 47-47 vote that needed a 60 vote majority to pass so unless Not Me Us means he’s 13 people it’s fine. Also please consider giving at http://bernie.to/-crisis for a five-way split donation to groups supporting frontline workers who don’t get to stay home.

The commodore was dragonlady.mp4 and you hate to see it

He should have said “yes, lives” instead of “no, lives” if they were trying to invoke one of today’s political questions the right way.
