at this point, I have zero fuckin clue how you managed to draw out the idea that literally any of these things would be a reasonable expectation for this show based on the foundational knowledge of the commercial promos, lead actors, and creator

I think maybe you were expecting too much from a half-hour pilot. If it never gets better than this, obviously, it won’t be much of anything. But there’s definite potential.

Can we all take a moment to agree that D’Arcy Carden is an absolute jewel on The Good Place?

According to Buckley, it sounds like Reimer needs a come-to-Jesus moment. Unfortunately, everyone named Jesus in Boston has already been reported to ICE by their neighbors.

There are two kinds of people in this world:

Sure, fine, whatever. Just hear me out, everything is better with Walter Bishop.

That’s... wow, not even close to an accurate comparison.

Hmm. See, that reads less like a review and more like your feelings got hurt because they made fun of your Transformers movies.

Wonder Woman being over The Dark Knight is insanity, I get recency bias but come on guys. It was good, it wasn’t better then one of the best super hero films of the last decade. Actually six through two being over it is kind of crazy and I think Logan has potential for acting Academy Awards if the Academy were smart…

You are the only one who thinks that. It’s like you’re in your own Black Mirror episode!

Based on your comment I’m not sure you did know that. You’re talking like this is a documentary. I’m glad you clarified.

you know it’s a TV show right?

The irony is your deliberate bad-faith interpretation of my comment is exactly what so much criticism of Discovery consists of.

I’m making circular motions with my index finger pointed at my temple at you.

Uh, how did The Rider not make the cut?!?!

Lorca is a great example of a good character who is not a good person (nor a villain). I like that he’s on the show, but nowhere does it say “hey check out this upstanding fellow.”

He’s a terrific character among several of the best Star Trek characters yet. It’s an awesome show, but some people have been waaay invested in hating this one for an awfully long time, so what’re you going to do.

I don’t think it’s fair to put the drunken master fight scene from Iron Fist on the “worst” list because of metatextual concerns. Yes, it’s a frustrating reminder of what could’ve been, but that’s because it’s the single best action scene in a show that was otherwise badly lacking in that and other regards. Taken in…
