I gotta be honest, PERVY KIRA is my favourite Kira.

Star Trek from the writers of Breaking Bad would be a nice experiment. That said, I think Discovery’s okay. The audience is too savvy now and internet speculation spoils surprises which might have landed better in years past.

That hand saw him through many a lonely night on Ach-To. ‘Course he took it with him.

This “Error 404" show looks alright.
