i’ve never been a fan of time travel shenanigans in star trek, but I legit rolled my eyes when Leland actually said “time crystal”.

What. The. Fuck.

couldn’t even bother with some patented star trek technobabble nonsense.

The actress who plays Lt. Nilssen, Airiam’s replacement on the bridge, also played Airiam in the first season. So that's weird.

I’ve been a huge booster of this show. I’ve maintained that the first season was the strongest start for any Trek since TOS and I’m still convinced I’m right. I’ve said that everything about the aesthetics and cast is perfect and wonderful and makes this look and feel like the best Trek has ever been and I still…

Michael starting to break down during the funeral of a crew mate that until a couple of episodes ago was a heavily made-up extra made me roll my eyes so hard I nearly sprained them.

And then end with a demonic voice saying, “NO ONE ESCAPES THE SOUTHSIDE.”

“Since when is Carl a graffiti artist?”

The top was actually a deliberate choice by Emmy Rossum and wardrobe - it was the same as she wore in the pilot episode.

I was hoping to see Kelly beat Debbie’s ass down in the street. 

I see Fiona bartending somewhere in Key West

I predict they will abandon the following plots in S10:

For the record, I think I question Fiona’s motives: I just wanted the show to reckon with the consequences of that. The fact that NO ONE questions her decision is different than everyone understanding her reasons, and I’m (unsurprisingly) not willing to forget about the guardianship question. To me, the episode is…
