Is “large bit of roadkill” code for “I ran someone over” ?

The titles of those books corresponded to TOS episodes, though, so you have to assume it’s future tech.

I have no idea how Orville could possibly compare favourably to Discovery on the “dumb” front. I’m the seemingly-rare fish that likes both, but Orville is dead simple. It’s the Full House of space dramas. There is nothing more than meets the eye. I find that refreshing in some ways, but is certainly the “dumber” of…

I’ve been watching on Space.ca. I don’t have a subscription myself (I’m locked into a stupid cable plan that can’t be changed), but I can log-in and “watch live” online with a family member’s Bell account. I’d prefer true HD, but the live stream quality is surprisingly solid.

I had a trial of Crave several months back…

I hope you see the irony that you misread my comment just like you accused Mr. Spock of misreading yours. You called him a “dummy”, I recall.

CBS is free for anyone with an antenna. The advertising cost them money, not you. Is your theory that anything that gets advertised a lot ought to be free?

I’m fortunate enough to not be in the U.S. where a subscription is required, and I sympathesize with All Access being a terrible value proposition vs. Netflix... but each episode costs $8m to produce, amd you’re getting 4 per month at ~1.50 a pop, even if you watch NOTHING ELSE on all access. Is that really so…

Tom nailed it with how the movement’s objectives - awareness of police brutality and minority oppression - have been bastardized into something totally different. But the motivations aren’t necessarily nefarious. Trump planted a divisive wedge into a sport where a team’s success depends heavily on their cohesiveness.…

Like the Delta Quadrant? Or a Deep Space station?

Effectively, yes, but my recollection he went through a worm hole, and that they were halunications induced by an advanced life form. I don’t think they were pure cut-aways.

Wait, what? This is truly shocking news. When I express opinions on the internet, I just assume that they are breathlessly consumed by eager masses.

I also don’t give a shit that no one gives a shit. This is not a place for giving shits.

That doesn’t mean she has to die. The Shenzou could’ve just be relegated to B-plot, or it could’ve just meant that Burnham was reassigned to a different ship (the destruction of the ship is the most obvious prompt for her reassignment, but surely there are other reasons someone might change ships - as Riker did in the…

You just made me realize we’re going to be hearing about Worf’s dad before all is said and done (the timing lines up). Hopefully they’re subtle about it, though.

The first clue that Georgiou wasn’t long for this world was when Michelle Yeoh showed up in the credits as a “special guest star”. Plus the promotional clips couldn’t resist showing off the special effects of the battle scenes, which made it pretty clear the Shenzou was going to wind up crippled (at best). So I can’t…

The Kirk in Generations would disagree.

Right. The newswire about Luke Bryan joing American Idol (posted a little earlier in the night) has merely 10 comments. The relative ranking doesn’t exactly alleviate my doubts.

The TV Club classic reviews for TNG are literally what first motivated me to check out the AV Club, many years ago. I saw a friend quote from…

I came to the AV Club to discuss Star Trek: Discovery, but there’s only this live blog about a WWE event, with 11 comments. Once again the AV Club proves it has its finger on the pulse of its readership.

Bryan Fuller had success on NBC.

I think the success of those artists (you might include Matthew Weiner, too, at the end of that list) owes something to the creative freedom that cable offers, but I think a bigger factor is probably just that the seasons are shorter. That makes it a lot more feasible for one person to…

The Coen Brothers was my first thought, also. Quentin Terrintino is also tempting, but for the fact his next project sounds like a bad idea, he has forecast that he will only produce one more film after that, and as a person he’s creepy and weird.

With movies and TV, it’s hard to buy stock in anyone other than a…

I used to live about 40 feet from the “Cheers” bar, so I’m not totally oblivious to these facts, although I was pretty young at the time.  I knew the interior wasn’t used at all, and I was guessing (incorrectly) that they didn’t film with the cast outside of it either.
