One of my favorite things about the prequels is how it portrays how flawed and hidebound the institution of the Jedi is, and having Ahsoka leave the Order as she grows and recognizes those flaws in the spin-off show was an inspired decision.

Well she’s 4, so I’m going wait a bit before she gets to see Seven of Nine execute an unarmed prisoner.

Star Trek Prodigy was the best of the new shows and the only one I could watch with my daughter because all the others will toss in violent martial arts fights, gaping phaser wounds, and people getting reduced to ash.

My one sticking point with the movie is I feel like most Peters wouldn’t side with Miguel on this one, and having my favorite Peter (Spectacular) represent their voice hurts. Peter is the guy who says “No One Dies”. That’s someone who would fight fate itself to save anyone and everyone.

I’m pumped about this. I think I’ll be able to overlook some clunky gameplay to get a story of new characters on a new ship that captures the feel of the TNG era, a type of science fiction that I’ve been missing for a long time.

Paul should become the new Mr. Marvel.

At least Superman died in his own comic, and not less than a decade after he was created.

I haven’t been following the current run (I was a Slott reader and stopped reading monthly after Superior, although I caught up later), aside from the ire of fans and the admittedly funny anger at Paul.

I’ve been watching and rewatching various Gundam series lately, and I have to say, I don’t think Wing really holds up (there’s charm in how self-serious and over-dramatic it gets, but it’s not very good).

If I were going to select a 90's Gundam show it would be Turn A Gundam. The setting is unique, the characters are…

My big memory of At World’s End was that I saw it at the tail end of my year abroad in Germany, when my German was good, but maybe not great enough to follow the bizarre dialogue about squid men and kraken attacks and Keith Richards.

I thought the movie was over because as you said, it was dragging on, and then…

Aren’t all Q named Q?

If Carl were a Q, it would stand to reason that Carl would also be named Q.

I mean, sure, TNG started with Q putting humanity on trial, so you didn’t see a lot of Q. But when Q was stripped of his Q powers, by the other Q, he was visited by Q who gave him his Q powers back. And then later you had…

I’ve seen temporal wars you wouldn’t believe. A future man who was both Archer and Not Archer until you observed him and the wave function collapsed. I watched a nerdy guy in a hose outfit from the future die several times but end up ok unless that was him at an earlier point in the timeline. I remember some Female…

Zack threatens to open old wounds that have long since healed, risking all-out war within the fandom by being unable to reconcile the two continuities.

Vulcan did not blow up. Discovery is in the Prime timeline. Romulus blew up in this timeline, and Spock’s presumed death is is when he and Nero went back in time and splintered the realities, and in that one Vulcan was destroyed.

I had forgotten that detail. Yeah, thanks for clearing that up. Hanna Cheesman is like Denise Crosby if they recast Tasha Yar and then 86'd her next season.

I relate to that because I nod and smile all the time. They really get me. 

Yeah I’m enjoying it more than I did, but I do agree with a lot of Handlen’s criticisms, and you could see elements of that at the tail end of Season 2 (thinking of the “emotional” penultimate episode).

I am on record as a Michael apologist. Regardless, the show needs to let her hang back a bit. There’s no reason, in…

Ah, well, I can’t stand Georgiou, so it seems like you and I simply have a difference in preference. 

The way I’m starting to think that if they want to keep the serialized structure maybe they should emulate a show like Lost

I actually really like Burnham and think her entire problem is overexposure and contrived connections to the various plot threads. I think she’d work better if she were used like Worf on TNG or DS9.

Saru is one of my top Trek characters, so he’s great, but I feel like Tilly was flanderized based on exaggerations of…
