She really should be a bigger star. She killed it at both being hilarious and a badass through the entire movie.

I enjoyed the original, but I was a dumb kid. TBH, this one is more The Breakfast Club: The Game: The Movie but it’s really fun and I get why it’s holding on. Part of me finally going to see it was amazement that a sequel to a 20 year old movie that wasn’t even that great to begin with is doing this well, but I was…

Just in: Mr. Rogers has been accused of sexual misconduct with Lady Elaine Fairchilde saying his hand was always up her skirt.

My point is that after DS9, Terrans in the prime universe is not something no one would expect. A Captain suddenly being a dick would be a red flag for Starfleet brass to be like “Hold up, what if this isn’t the same guy at all?” And it is no longer impossible to be stuck in the Mirror Universe for that matter: travel…

Honestly, I now understand why they chose to set it in the era they did:

The Klingon War can only take place before Star Trek 6 or after Nemesis. Relations between the Feds and the Empire were too cordial between then and introducing a large-scale war, especially between ST6 and TNG, would diminish ST6 and Ysterday’s…

Hell, look at O’Brien.

The mycelium network does exist post-Discovery. It’s called the Q Continuum and Stamets is going to rewrite history to create beings that protect it.

(I don’t actually this this is going to happen but I think it would be cool.)

It’s not necessarily that it’s bad per se, it’s that Morbo lives by a strict set of codes and he thought the Ancient One did too because she was the one who enforced them. The Dark Dimension was supposed to be off limits for the exact reason that Kaecilius demonstrated, but she was using it to further her own goals…

Yeah, Trek definitely doesn’t have a history of putting the ship/crew in an allegedly dire, unsolvable situation, then the engineer pulling a solution out of their ass. That’s not what Star Trek is at all.

This explanation completely follows the relationship between Starfleet and the Vulcans in Enterprise as well. There were absolutely Vulcans in Starfleet’s command structure even before the Federation, but they were not *in* Starfleet per se.

It’s worth noting that while DS9 was on the air, Voyager was considered the “More Trek” show and thus better by a huge swath of the fanbase. The comparison to 2017's Trek (or Trek adjacent) shows makes itself.

Well, since in his original draft of the Star Wars, Darth Vader is in no way related to Luke Skywalker and is actually younger than him, and that in the original draft of Empire Strikes Back, again, he is not Luke’s father, yes. I am very certain it is a coincidence. He’s named after the word “invader.”

No, he had none of it. It’s always been a pile of crap. Vader was not originally Luke’s father. Leia was not originally Luke’s sister. He was always making this shit up as he went and lying about it. J.J. Abrams was always his perfect successor.

James Gunn and Rian Johnson: notorious studio lackeys.

Y’all motherfuckers can accept Gravity, an entire movie based around this concept that’s supposed to take place in our universe with our physics, but can’t accept that Leia can use the force to move like 20 feet in zero-G.

“They” being the man who wrote the original movies and claimed to have had the entire story planned out for decades.

If there’s anything the sequel trilogy has really nailed, it’s lightsaber fights. Just flashy enough to be stylish and cool, but narratively important and relatively short.

The Vader comics are totally the most effective piece of media ever made bridging the gap between Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader. They don’t work as well without the prequels.

You’ll find “a space wizard did it” fixes a lot of problems with these movies.

It just seems weird because Portman is 18 playing 14 in TPM and Jake Lloyd was 9 playing 9.
