You’re endeavoring to be as much of a stupid cartoon as the poorly-written character you’re trying to defend. Stop.

Okay, so, your argument as to why this character isn’t a goofy cartoon is that real-life people eat beef. Good luck, kid.

Right. Everyone above you in this thread doesn’t get it: an element should be reused when it’s useful, appropriate and turns out something good. Discovery is the story of when a show fails at that, over and over and over.

And you should accept that you’re part of the reason a lot of TV is bad.

This is the sort of question that’s at the top of concerns of existing Discovery fans, that’s for sure. “What thing that we’ve already seen on another Star Trek show is the thing we’re seeing in this episode?” They just gotta know!

A “spinoff” that sounds like it “might actually be centered around the Temporal Wars” likely does sound “awesome” to the whittled-down audience that sustains Discovery by paying for an entire TV-on-demand service monthly to watch it. And don’t get me wrong: I agree it makes financial sense as a luxury ultra-fan item…

That’s a cosmically bad idea for a TV show, so, yeah, I could buy it.

No offense to Mr. Handlen (and I mean that, as these are some of the few TV reviews left on this site to treat their purview as more than a breathless report on the writer’s current opinions of their imaginary friends) but I’m curious why actors seem above reproach in current popular TV/movie criticism.

Shut up nerd

Good. Reading the wiki is the first step toward a crap adaptation.

The proper response to Neil Gaiman’s precious Scientology-aristocrat ass is, “Nothing intended for a mass audience should be ‘made for the fans’ of the source material.”

No one else? Kid, watch more movies.

I agree with you for the most part, but I think it matters that the character makes the compromise during such a trivial part of something necessary to save the kid exactly because it is still a big deal to the show’s title character, just in a different way than it would have been a big deal before. It’s a problem…

Buzzkill-kill alert:

It’s the shameful version, I suppose

Maybe the writer was being polite. I know I wouldn’t bring up something that embarrassing.

That makes Mando “The Believer” of the title

My first experience of FFX was walking into a dorm room to find a group of guys passing around a bong and a controller for some sort of anime turn-based underwater sports game. An hour later, I ask, So, what’s this game called? The last game I’d played in the series was FF7, and the answer I got was about the last one…

I always appreciated the effort put into the Darth Maul cameo in Tony Hawk, where he’s got a trick move (seen in the video above) that telekinetically retrieves his board from midair.
