I think the problem Star Trek currently faces is the “who is it for?” question.

Thank you. This ep was a B at worst. Loved the last 15 minutes.
You know, I honestly don’t think we watched the same show. I’ve really enjoyed this season, as have my wife and son. I’m an old-school fan, they are not: so it appealed across the board. I’ve always enjoyed Zack Handlen’s writing in the past, but I feel he went into this show determined to hate it.
As cliched and predictable as it would be, having Worf show up in the Defiant to save the day would make my day.
I watched it all over the weekend and it was fine..
OK, I take it back. I plowed through to the end and now I’m in, largely on the strength of Sophia Lillis, but also wow that ending.
I’ve always felt that one of the worst things Don ever did was throw Sal under the bus after Lee Garner, Jr. sexually harassed him (with a sneering, “You people” to boot), and it’s made all the worse by the fact that I think Don was genuinely empathetic to Sal when he originally found out about Sal’s sexuality. He saw…
“Still, the slow progression of the plot hinders the story as a whole and leaves viewers hung up on the protagonist’s lack of empathy and ability to talk to people around her without a snarky comment.”
sigh....Season 3 was the best reboot ever to hit my television screen, bar none by a long shot.
Counterpoint! It was absolutely perfect. This is a fairly trite comparison at this point, but explaining why it felt so wonderful feels like trying to describe a dream. (That smoking scene deserves an award for body language choreography!) There was a Sunday night in 2017 where I was watching TV and saw both a flying…
DAMMIT NO BOWFINGER!??!
It was kind of inspiring that anti semite’s grandson Henry Ford 2 spent a lot of money trying to right his grandfather’s wrongs by supporting Jewish causes as well as the state of Israel while also building a car to show that dirty eye-talian not to fuck with Murica and FoMoCo.
He only menaces people in Wolf of Wall Street, but I’m sure his character has punched plenty.
I wont lie. I’d watch the fuck outta Terminator vs Commando.
Schwarzenegger does indeed turn up in a cabin in the woods
I remember leaving an early TDK screening wondering if people were even going to like this movie. It’s so filled with politics and bureaucracy, and it was so different from what we’re used to. Begins made Batman a little more realistic, but was still hyper-real to a degree, whereas The Dark Knight went full real…
The Toadies were always an incredibly underrated band tho so the fact that they still put on a good show isn't surprising. (but definitely nice to hear)
Why does everyone hate Asylum of the Daleks? I get the argument that the Daleks in the Asylum didn't turn out to be as dangerous as everyone was expecting, but that's because they'd been hacked into and destroyed by Oswin for almost a year. I actually think that subverting the audiences expectations like that was a…
As far as teasing, though, The Power of Three and that bit in Dinosaurs where Amy asked if the Doctor was weaning them off of him were much more of a tease.
On the classic episodes list I would add "A Good Man Goes to War" for the bad-ass factor. Rory as the Last Centurion? Random Silurian Victorian Lesbians? Quite awesome.
