They’ve recast the guy who played K’ol (also a seemingly cool and well liked guy) into two other Klingon roles just this season, so there’s certainly precedent for it.

I liked season 1 of this show a lot, but the fact that it has a season 2 just makes me bitter that Jean Claude Van Johnson (released on Prime at basically the same time as Tick) didn’t get a second season.

From what I see on social media, and what I observed in person at a convention that featured the main cast, Anson Mount also gets on fabulously well with everyone. Actors are obviously capable of pretending, but pretty much everyone on the cast seems to genuinely like and care about each other.

I really like Mary Chiefo who plays L’Rell. I follow her on Twitter and she’s a delight. And from the photos she’s in, she seems really beloved among the cast & crew, and is a main stay of convention events. The guy who plays Ash also seems well liked. And I think the writers/producers may be sentimental about their…

The terminatrix in T3 with self-inflatable tits was... not readily forgettable.

Marvel certainly has a deep enough roster of characters that it shouldn’t *need* to re-cast, but it might be tempting.

Not sure what’s funny here. There’s a Black Widow movie in pre-production.

(a) Star Trek has >50 years of TV shows and 13 movies, created by countless different people, over which to try maintaining continuity, which makes the degree of difficulty very different.

But it won’t be a clean break. We haven’t seen the last of Black Panther, Guardians, Captain Marvel, Spiderman, Doctor Strange or Black Widow. And others, like Ant Man, probably also carry on.

My luck, I’d settle into my seat to discover a kid behind me who kicks my seat, a person to my left constantly chewing chips and celery sticks and a person to my right who insists on making small talk.

They can’t just repeat the formulas they were using in the 90s. It grew stale on TNG, and DS9 wound up being a significant evolution from TNG (and actually presaging modern serialized TV). A TNG purist would have many reasons watching DS9 to say “this isn’t Star Trek” — among other things, it savagely violates…

I haven’t been to a Broadway play. Is this what they do? Set story-appropriate lyrics to the tune of familiar songs?

Not even Bradley Whitford? He voted for Obama. He’d have voted for Obama for a third term if he could!

Fuck off and die. 

Yeah, I also loved that show. It was damn near my favourite comedy on TV while it was running (slight edge to Veep and Silicon Valley). But there were a lot of people who hated it. I have no idea why, but it didn’t have the broad appeal that it seemed like it should have. Maybe it was too meta for its own good, given…

I was going to comment that this character (and even the actress playing her) seemed to be noticeably reminiscent of Stephanie Beatriz’s character on that other, also Mike Schur-produced NBC show.

I’ve been on these threads giving Zack shit for his excessively critical reviews. I even lied and said I was so fed up I’d stop reading them. Well Zack, I’m here to apologize. You may have been on to something.

I already knew there were idiots on Twitter, because every one of Trump’s lunatic tweets gets tens of thousands of likes.

I think we also have to remember that in this universe, Ned Stark’s and Jon Snow’s conventionally honourable choices got them killed. Oberyn, to some extent, also got killed for trying to do an honourable (albeit vain and vengeful) thing.

Billy Corgan, is that you?
