Seth’s “A Closer Look” segments are the shit. They’re well-written, produced and delivered. I subscribe to his show on youtube just for those segments.

Jesus Christ, spam much?

I absolutely loved Voyager when it aired. Then, years later, I started reading all the hate on the Internet and that bummed me out but it wasn’t until I read Ron Moore’s relentlessly critical interview where he trashed the show up and down did I concede some of the more “popular” criticisms of the show. That said, I…

Didn’t her mother win that much money playing slot machines in Atlantic City?

Hey, is there any chance Geillis is Briana, Claire’s daughter?

Well, that was sobering.

Yeah, I’ve been burned out on the Klingons after Worf’s storylines on TNG.

And depending on how far apart each Klingon House is and the planet / moon on which they live, there could be evolutionary differences in their appearance. That part at least is 100% scientifically possible.

I think those prosthetic teeth are the problem. Roxann Dawson’s B’Elana Torres was supposed to have them but the actress begged them to ditch ‘em and they relented.

Nechayev will always hold a special place in my heart for verbally bitch-smacking down Riker in Chain of Command. And the same goes for Captain Jelico. I love Jonathan Frakes but I could not STAND Riker. Such a whiny, swishy bitch.

That character had better not be Breen or even I’m gonna throw a shitfit.

We can’t help it. It’s in our nature. :)

Don’t get used to it. They change her hair in the next episode. It’s not straightened.

Previews show Burnham coming across Saru again so at least that one character from the Shenzou crosses paths with her again.

Didn’t they say there was too much interference for either a tractor beam or to beam her out?

Wait. I thought her last name was Georgiou and her first name Phillipa. Or did I get that wrong?

JFC, you’re an asshole. And PS? 1970s. The Waltons. Michael Learned. And why is it so far-fetched to believe the smartest character would be played by a black actress? Seriously. GFY.

“Not thrilled with the show seeming to be primarily about one person instead of an ensemble (my memory may be overestimating the amount of screen time anyone who wasn’t Kirk got in the first season of TOS, but I feel like every other Trek show gave at least a few non-captain characters their own subplots).”

If we still had the disqus threads available, I’d be able to prove that I predicted early on that Yeoh’s Georgiou wasn’t going to make it through the pilot and yes, I consider these two episodes to be the pilot. I think Yeoh probably had the option whether to guest star or join the cast and after all the nonsense it…
