What an amazing time to be a Trek fan. This makes up for the disaster we call the 50th Anniversary.

But the masses want their pound of flesh! He must sacrifice himself in order to be worthy of Redditors, twitter people and kinja warriors who’s souls are certainly pure and have never been tempted by any sort of sin.

Unless more information comes available, I’ll file this under: “Akward scientist guy being akward”.

There’s both official and unofficial behind the scenes footage of them all being there together to film it. They’ve talked about all being together to shoot it. They were indoors rather than outdoors so the background was a comp, hence it looking a bit fake. 

Yeah, it’s not so much that the President is a racist, sexist, lying, self-serving, criminal. It’s more that those things were obvious before he was elected and I never would have guessed that 63 million Americans would be fine with that prior to the election. I mean, sure, I knew a bunch of them would be, but not so…

For #ResistanceDemocrats, this was a shit sandwich they were unwittingly preparing themselves to eat for years. For the rest of the left, we are far past pinning our hopes on stuff like this, and called all of this very early - especially when it comes to knowing who Mueller is and what he’d do and say.

You are doing Star Trek fandom right.

The last shot of Data makes one jump to the immediate idea that this is Data transferred to another droid body or possibly Lore.

And, the first scene of the Kent Farm in Smallville on Earth-38 in ELSEWORLDS, they played the SMALLVILLE theme song.

(Sorry, I’m going to fanboy the fuck out here for a minute.)

It’s a dumb take.  Watching them isn’t mandatory and you can just assume that if you aren’t interested in them any more then they aren’t being made for you anymore.  They’re being made for the next round/generation of people. 

We can only hope, but honestly, I think Welling just doesn’t want to do it. The impression I get from him is he is proud of Smallville but has no desire to revisit it as an actor (although even as I am typing this I am recalling an interview with Rosenbaum where he seem intrigued by an animated version - so maybe…

I am not a Democrat, hell, I am not even American, but I oppose America; someone has to take the moral high-ground. Thanks to the current government, much of the rest of the world sees America as the “Great Septic Tank” of the West. Not really America’s fault, but the fact that no one is willing to do anything to even…

Bangs should have been left in the late 90s where they belong. But hey, it’s her hair, she should be able to do whatever she wants with it.

To be fair, he wasn't directing any of that garbage at a white woman (or man) with an Anglo-Saxon surname. There was a common thread between them all and then the reference was made to "go back to your homes and fix them". It was most assuredly racist.

To be fair, these people are US citizens and either swore away their foreign citizenship, or are literally US born, and have been elected to represent and run the US government. Trump is an asshole.

Proof it was designed by a dude. I would love to see a Captain Marvel T-shirt that says “I have nothing to prove to you.”

FREEDOM! HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE FREEDOM!

This. Cutting to everybody’s reactions was one of the highlights of the episode. They’re also damn good singers? I get maybe doing too much of a job of breaking up the tension of the scene but I was loving it.

I loved this moment. I started to lose it when the music came in to back them and the reaction shots from everyone really, really sold it. Joyce leaning her head against the wall and Murray slowly turning with a confused look was fantastic. This whole series is and has been an ode to 80's cheese so this worked for me.
