Bringing back an actor and giving them something totally different to do is not following up on a storyline. I mean, if you didn’t see the episode he was in last season, you would not been at a loss for anything about his appearance here.

the show has not yet followed up on Din’s reaction to Bo-Katan and her fellow Mandalorians at all, which is a shame

These quotes seem like they come from people who doesn’t know anything about what’s actually going on with these other, bigger projects.

If you went out to dinner and asked the server how good the ribeye was, and they responded with a long diatribe about how eating meat is bad for the planet and that the rancher they get the meat from is a real asshole, would you find that helpful?

“Words are easy”

For England, James?

People need to get over the fact that Tilly is an Ensign. She’s a main character, that’s why she’s XO. And hey, guess what, that’s totally fine! Sorry if you feel that’s not a good enough explanation, but that’s how Star Trek has always done it.

“They” is a perfectly useful pronoun. People seem to think that “he” and “she” are actually any better. Consider this sentence:

And her reaction when she started talking and they just told her to fuck right off was pretty much a sign that yes, Gabrielle was right and this wasn’t a ‘rules’ situation.

she was clearly picturing it as something like defending a thesis, where she’d be asked questions about the reliability of the data, her qualifications to examine it, the validity of the conclusions she drew, et cetera

Seeing how there are a bunch of commas and ‘or’s in there, if you want to boil it down, you can also write it this way:

This is you.

I’m unsure you understand what the word “propaganda” means

how did Starfleet not decommission the ship and tear it apart to replicate the tech in the fleet? Sending it out on missions is just honestly a bad move that technology is to valuable

So you watched the show into the third season (enough to evalaute it as “generic”), or are taking a hard pass on it, which is it?

So Vulcan didn’t get destroyed in this timeline?

Season 2 picked up directly from season 1, and seemed to proceed like a bat out of hell, but a lot of in-world time did pass, actually, during season 2, especially the early part of it. Blame how the show is produced that it didn’t seem like it.

This episode was a real mixed bag for me. It felt like a series of disappointments that when I looked back on it I decided I was actually pretty happy with.

Super Mario Bros. 2 [JP] isn’t a Mario game, it’s a lazy knockoff of a Mario game. Of course I’ve beaten it and can get though it with ease these days because it’s not actually a difficult game in any legitimate sense, it’s just hard to play (there’s a difference).

It’s a mere expansion pack that substitutes cheap…

I can already tell your head is so far up Rian Johnson’s ass ...
