I figure Tyrion wanted Davos to smuggle Jamie and Cersei away.

Pretty terrifying to see the chaos of King’s Landing being laid to waste. Dany burning the city to the ground, essentially carrying out her father’s mad final instinct to do it with the green fire. Also, was something similar not described as happening when the Lannister army breached the city during Robert’s…

One of the big timeline issues is that the end of last season seemed to sync with Thanos’ attack. SHIELD dealing with the Confederacy seems to be concurrent with the first Black Order attack. Quake makes a reference to weird stuff happening in New York, which would seem to be a reference to the battle for Dr.…

Sure, it plays better for comedy for the gang to rely on Mike’s young Chinese daughter to translate the message, but they couldn’t just use a translate app for that?

Using “9 to 5" was a nice juxtaposition for the fight scene, but I couldn’t help but think that ‘Deadpool 2' did the same thing just last year.

It was a good line in the moment that at first glance seems based on the presumption that a post-Union Moclus continues to respect the territorial sovereignty of Union members.

So, in checking out “The Menagerie” to remind myself of the circumstances of Pike’s accident, I stumbled across another homage to that particular TOS episode.

Putting aside the ludicrousness of the time crystals, the fact that they are even called “time crystals” on a show that wants to be taken seriously as Discovery does is pretty laughable. It’s such a sci-fi throwback thing to do. It seems more out of “Doctor Who” or “Lost in Space” or a bad TOS episode or any number of…

“The Menagerie” pretty clearly establishes that Pike is injured a few months before that episode, which is 2266, a decade after “Discovery” takes place.

Yeah, the show was kind of boxed into a corner with the motif that people have their time in history and then are otherwise lost to it, aside from whatever artifacts may survive. The whole premise is that an average person of the past is only remembered because she left a piece of herself specifically to be uncovered…

Well, pretty much every alien in the galaxy looked human up until about midway through TNG when they figured they should put some sort of ridge on an actor’s face so they wouldn’t look completely human.

I would be severely disappointed if this all turns into a Borg origin story. Especially since Enterprise already did a time traveling Borg story (following up First Contact). But at least Enterprise’s usage makes sense within the context of previous episodes/movies (aside from the contrivance of never having them…

Seeing Snowbird in the brunette wig (a fake-looking wig but a good look for Benoist) almost immediately made me think of the 1984 movie (and the pre-Crisis continuity it’s based on) where Helen Slater’s Supergirl used the brunette wig for her alter ego. My first thought was that I hoped they would have her use the…

Almost nothing about this show bothers me.

Almost nothing about this show bothers me.

Yeah. I suppose maybe Gordon had taken over the role of someone else that Laura dated in between her stints with Greg, like that mutual friend of someone else that Gordon claimed to be to ease himself into the sim.

I would say the observation of a writing technique varying from the norm for the series does not necessarily constitute a lack of enjoyment in the piece, or even being bothered by it. It is simply another bullet point in the larger discussion of an analysis of the work, both as a standalone piece of fiction and within…

I thought that was the computer assuming Leland’s identity by mimicking his voice, and then killing him.

I was also expecting a scene of Gordon looking up the real person and seeing what happened to her, but I guess that goes against the notion of regular people being forgotten that was Laura’s whole reason for leaving the phone in the time capsule. Though I’m sure computers as advanced as the Union’s wouldn’t have…
