*Note: Romulus still exists in one universe and Vulcan still exists in the other.

James Adomian’s Walt Whitman is one of the all time greatest episodes of any podcast. Also, Ben Schwartz as Roald Dahl, finding out mid-character that Dahl was an antisemite was heartbreaking and hilarious at the exact same time. “Too bad for me. That would be pretty ironic if there were some 32 year old in 2014 whose…

One of the most interesting similar incidents I’ve ever heard of was the 1958 criticality event at Los Alamos. Plutonium waste would be diverted into a tank, where with a mixture of other liquids and solvents it would be stirred and mixed until it could be recovered. This process had been safely done repeatedly for…

He was never Superman.

Was it stated it was at maximum setting? Because IIRC, maximum setting literally vaporizes things.

This is something that occurred to me on a rewatch of TOS. In Operation: Annihilate! Bones accidentally blinds Spock to save his life. It’s handwaved really quickly at the end of the episode as “Vulcans have two pairs of eyelids so it only temporarily blinded him” but a modern show would’ve had both characters sit…

Don’t judge my hobbies.

Yeah, but Roger Ebert wrote three bad movies in the 70s and then never bothered again and anyone who says Ebert was a bad critic is a fuckin lunatic. Recognizing what’s good doesn’t mean you can make something good.

I mean, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

I really like that both shows are on right now, actually. It’s a nice throwback to the mid-90s when DS9 was trying bold new things with the Trek universe and TNG and Voyager were sticking to their guns about what Trek is supposed to be. I think there were diminishing…

Parker Posey would’ve been a stellar Lois, one of the very very few actresses who I actually think could nail the character. It would’ve also been a wildly cool decision to have her opposite the much younger Routh, both from a general inverting the standard Hollywood age gap standpoint (the Marvel movies have actually…

I love Henry Cavill, but sadly his Superman isn’t even in the top three of live action Supermen.

The list goes:

1) Tyler Hoechlin
2) Christopher Reeve
3) Brandon Routh in a better movie than Superman Returns
4) Dean Cain
5) Henry Cavill
6) George Reeves
7) Brandon Routh in the actual movie Superman Returns

This show can never be correct, because it will never perfectly nail the exact thing these people want from Star Trek, which was what they watched in the 90s when they were 10. I also watched Trek in the 90s when I was 10 and several more times besides since then, and I absolutely adore what they’re doing with it. It…

Recycled TNG episodes but with sex jokes. It’s not bad, but it ain’t good.

It was also a big part of DS9. Hell, by the seventh season it turned out Sisko’s mom was actually an alien from the future who came back to give birth to him so that he could become the messiah and fight space Satan. It uh...it kind of fell apart there at the end, tbh.

The pilot’s name is Detmer and she was dang delight this episode.

NOPE! It is explicitly stated in the game! There’s a diary you can find:
April 10

RE3 wasn’t too bad. The conceit of Nemesis being a persistent, terrifying threat was pretty good and reasonably well executed.

Killing black people isn’t why it was considered racist, it was the fact that apparently black people becoming zombies means they revert to a caricature of a tribal state of literally chucking spears.

Yeah, it’s perfectly plausible that this season could be a stealth pilot season for Pike’s Enterprise.

Now HERES a good continuity complaint. It’s on my mind every single time we deal with Michael’s upbringing. The best I can give unless they actually intend on engaging with it is that Sybok had already been banished from Vulcan by the time Michael was adopted.

I would dearly love them to acknowledge that Spock’s full…
