JJ shouldn’t touch anything trek

JJ has managed to significantly taint the reputation of two of the biggest science fiction franchises of the modern era. Much like Zack Snyder, he should stay behind the camera, and leave the writing and directing to others to better suited to such critical roles.

The Living Construct battle in the Prodigy season 1 finale deserves honorable mention. It gets overlooked sometimes for being a “kids show,” but it was fucking gut-wrenching watching all those Starfleet ships tear each other apart.

Respectfully, maybe 2009 was better depending on nostalgia, but I reserve worst for Into Darkness. Portable transwarp beaming, Khan without context, and everyone on the promotions side saying “no, he’s not khan, he’s a brand new character we made up named John Harrison” to the point where we accepted it and then…

I mean, no shit? The MAGA wing of the House GOP have been pretty forward about wanting a government shutdown (even though every previous shutdown has hurt the party controlling Congress in the next election...). *ANY* negotiations on the part of Johnson was going to face fierce resistance from his own caucus. And…

Took longer for them to turn on their own than predicted, but, yeah, this was entirely predictable.

I just want to point out that this person has apparently been sitting behind bars since the Reagan administration. The Soviets were still in Afghanistan, the Berlin Wall was up, Libya blew up a plane over Lockerbie, Scotland, then thirteen years ago NATO helped some rebels overthrow that government as payback. Now I’m…

We are the worst.

Shocking: AI tools once again being used by the worst people for the worst things.

The golden globes could learn something from the NFL and use parabolic microphones. 

“Oh and you fucked it all up? No. Your split isn’t like getting a flat tire or a paper cut or stepping in gum. It’s the result of very intentional acts on your part.”

Hey folks, want to avoid this predicment? As cliche as it sounds there is one way to do so. VOTE and not for the Grand Old Pushovers.

Yes Biden has issues but the alternative is flat our destructive for everyone. Staying at home is just as bad (see 2000 and 2016).

I really don’t care what your hot take is, do not forget…

I tried watching it. It’s not the PG-13 that kills it, it’s that it’s just DULL. It seems like it was written by Chat GPT. The whole plot for like the hour or so I watched is just going from place to place and recruiting new interchangeable team members.

OK these are good. Let’s try it...

I haven’t read the clinical trial reports on Semaglutide, but I AM an attorney that has worked on numerous pharmaceutical patent cases, so I have read... a lot of clinical trial reports.

Insurance companies routinely don’t cover preventative stuff (unless forced to) because while paying now would be wiser in preventing greater costs in the future, they’re gambling that by the time the person’s condition becomes the expensive problem that they’ll be somebody else’s responsibility to pay for (e.g.…

I could argue it’s the “Is it the Plan 9 from Outer Space of streaming?” curiosity of viewers seeing if it’s as bad as critiqued that’s causing the views.

The Star Wars movies plans have been in a free-fall ever since the dork reaction to TLJ, Disney panicking and putting the dipshit back in charge of TRoS, that being a total shitshow of a movie, and something called a “pandemic” making plans difficult to follow through on.

My sincere hope is the site is not just back but returns to some of the former quality and insight that made it a an outsized-pop culture staple. Frankly the site had been in decline for years before its shuttering. I don’t mean to shit on you or any other writers who, I gather, have been working under less-than-ideal…

And so is the comment section! Hurray!
