I think Handlen’s being overly harsh. It’s fine if he doesn’t like it, but his criticisms have basically come down to “it’s not how I would have done it”, “this is too different from classic Trek” and “this is too similar to classic Trek”.

You assume wrong. Anywhere from 49% to 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck depending on which set of research you believe. Most do not have an adequate emergency fund with three months of expenses saved. And if she’s damaged her spine, chances are that she’s going to need a lot more than three months of…

You seem like a would be comedian. Amanda is an actual comedian. That’s why she’s funnier than you, even going through all this. And she would never post something like you just did, because she’s also a better person than you.

You assume most people working paycheck to paycheck have an emergency fund for occasions such as a lift damaging their spine? Your assumption is wrong.

Savings? How would you presume to know how much, if any, money this random production assistant has in savings? It’s right there in the article that the fund is to cover her expenses until she gets whatever money she’s going to get from Warner Bros.

Jesus Christ, dude.

Dude.

Except Kelley, who deserved to hang out with alpacas. And thank you! 

It’s not a bias against first responders, it’s a bias against someone that claims respect of “law and order” while flaunting the law.

I don’t understand why the “thin blue line” decal mention was necessary. You could’ve just said MAGA sticker or confederate flag sticker

For me personally, I see the connection. In my area, if someone is in a giant pickup rolling coal. 9/10 it either has one of those blue line stickers or the Punisher skull with the blue line

Barb prob should focus less on loving Hannah Ann and blaming Madison, and more on helping her son not be a total dummy. The fact that Peter can’t really stand up to his mom and defend his relationship instead of making Madison face off with her is a red flag. But I think Barb is right in that they are totally…

Disagree. Barb uses crying to control the situation. Her bawling was totally ridiculous and then all of a sudden she was fine.

I thought there were explicitly two bartenders and they were both the same dude and they said one was the bartender before?

Definitely waited too long to tell him, but I do think she comes out of this specific episode looking good. Lots of other Bachelor contestants would have faked it. 

Um, Tom Hanks wasn’t really in space.

there is not reason they HAVE to remove games.

You thought you could pay $5 once and get hundreds of games permanently?

I think Zack is being a little tough especially for an A- review. A Star Trek show can’t survive on nostalgia alone. I loved TNG but there are very good reasons why this show can’t and shouldn’t be trying to “bring the old band back together”. I dispute that it “promised to be a visit with old friends, and maybe some…

I guess part of the reason I’m enjoying this more than most is I didn’t go into it feeling like I was promised ‘a visit with old friends’. I knew there would be nostalgia and fan service, yes, and it is very effective as this episode shows. But what I was expecting, and wanting, was a new story in the Trek universe -…
