C’mon. Given his stature, smacking her down would be unprofessional and petty, regardless of whether he actually is or is not a fan. Do you really think he wants to get into a public feud over something so small? We should all strive to show class more often.

You know, I’m starting to think that Megyn Kelly might be kind of a dismal human being.

I really want her to fail but she has the all important left the TV on for the dog demographic all locked up.

I can’t wait for her to interview the cast of the Black Panther movie so she can ask them why they want to kill cracker babies.

This shouldn’t be surprising for anybody who remembers Kelly’s panel on Aisha Harris’s tongue-in-cheek Slate piece about making Santa a penguin. Kelly turned to the camera—at 11 p.m.—and addressed “any children who might be in the audience” by declaring that the discussion was just silly grown-up stuff and that “Santa…

This episode had an almost Fringe-y vibe to me.

On the contrary, the events of the prologue set everything in motion — the war, Burnham’s guilt, the other characters’ mistrust of her, Lorca’s interest in recruiting her. And two of Burnham’s Shenzhou crewmates, Saru and Kayla Detmer, are with her on Discovery.

Other film review sites are throwing around words like “masterpiece”, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Dowd scrounges up a B+.

I doubt you’ve ever seen one without paying for it.

That might be the weakest attempt at trolling I’ve ever seen.

That was pretty good. I would rank it as the second best Star Trek series premiere behind DS9.

you seem like a lot of fun at parties

The best comment I’ve seen so far on Discovery is that it makes The Orville look like community theater.

Man, it is SO GOOD to have Star Trek back on television. I didn’t realize just how much I missed it until the start of the premiere and hearing all the technobabble, and figuring out the timeline re: the Klingons, and all that good stuff.

And even then, in order to get the maximum effect out of him, you have to demote him back to captain.

If nothing else, the show understands the most important rule of Starfleet: anybody above the rank of captain is completely useless.
