half the reason Apple designed Lightning is that USB-C didn’t exist yet.

Oh, really? I didn’t know that. /s

Apple has maintained that touchscreens don’t make sense for the Mac.

Don’t tell the Crusher family...

I don’t know what to tell you... 🤷‍♀️ I’m not the hugest fan of the show (I often forget character names, for example), and it more than was obvious to me.

Oof. I know you say you’re not trying to not be “mean spirited” but you immediately hint toward the YouTube conspiracy theories where “NuTrek is a financial failure” that there’s simply never been any evidence for, and your faint praise for Lower Decks is limited to how it more closely aligns with the sad demands of…

First of all, it’s basically Enoch’s catch phrase (or catch phrasing anyway), so I knew the episode would center on a big Enoch moment, and since it’s about his friendship and service, it seemed that the only way anyone would use it as a title is for a poignant farewell story for him, if not literally used as a last…

My guess is that he didn’t want to leave JL the first time, but his child’s tragic death gave WB a way to force him out without having to fire him (which wouldn’t look good for either of them), and he took it. Weadon had already been hired as a script doctor before Synder left, so these conflicts were long brewing.

HBO Max gave Zach Snyder a lifeline with this project, but it’s based on the myth of his “vision” being held back, so he has full permission to competently lean into it, hoping that it becomes such a success that he’ll be released from movie jail and he’ll never again have to compromise his Hot Topic-inspired…

I agree with you but only in principle, because that is overridden, by orders of magnitude, by the need for more diversity behind the scenes.

I wonder how many years it will take to get to that rate, if it ever does. I’d be surprised to see Strange New Worlds at all in 2021, or Section 31 before 2023. And Discovery could always bow out after season 4 or 5, or Picard might do a big series finale after just 3 seasons, you never know.

Certainly for 2021, it’s…

This recap nails it. This is one of the best episodes the show has ever done, and it’s one of the best episodes of TV I’ve seen in years...

Hearing Sean Bean’s voice as Wilford in an earlier episode gave me a lot of confidence that we would never, ever actually see Mr. Wilford on the show, not even in flashbacks.

They’re for gamers who think they’re smarter than other gamers.

“Beyond the pale?” Who’s the one being hyperbolic to make a point here?

If they didn’t think TTYD2 was going to happen, they wouldn’t come out of the woodwork to whine about every new Paper Mario game when it turns out it’s not TTYD2 after all.

It’s crazy that you have been made to consider qualifying any criticism so as not to bother the game’s fanbase.

TTYD might be my favorite game of all time, but I’m shocked how little tolerance people have for all the cool mechanical ideas from other Paper Mario games. Every Paper Mario game is great and fun and interesting. They’re just not all the same.

Got the 10th Doctor, 21500 points. It’s a very hypnotic game, but it’s a little annoying because once your luck starts running out you know it’s only a matter of time before you fail, and there’s essentially no way to get back on track.
