Every time someone says the first three seasons of TNG were bad, I want to scream at them, because season 3 was probably the best season of the show. (Although season 4 is also amazing.)

Don’t forget Q Who, the episode that introduced the Borg!

Avery Brooks is basically retired. I doubt he’s coming out of retirement at 70 years old (he’s 69 now) to do a Star Trek movie.

Yes it is. It’s roughly 2800 miles from New York to Los Angeles. If you drove 70 the whole way, made minimal stops for gas, food, bathroom, etc., had enough drivers to take turns, didn’t run int any major traffic in NYC, Cleveland, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, etc., you could do it in about 42 hours.

We all know that The Good Place Christmas Special would end up with Michael torturing people.

In Star Trek’s defense, they really have dropped the utopian angle.

The Federation in Kirk’s day was no utopia. Deep Space Nine went to pains to demonstrate that life on the frontier was far from ideal. Voyager was set on the other side of the galaxy, isolating the crew from their homes. Enterprise was set long before…

Well, I don’t think of the Federation as being an actual utopia. I think that’s the vision, of course, but building a utopia is impossible when there are aliens like the Borg, Cardassians and Dominion who want to conquer you and subjugate you to their rule, and who are willing to wipe out entire planets to pursue…

Star Trek is heavily militarized because it has to be heavily militarized. And they do bring this up from time to time, especially in an excellent two-parter where an ambitious captain is planning a coup d’etat to overthrow the Federation government and install martial law. Of course, this is never shown as a good or…

Spacey publicly apologized to Rapp. He says he doesn’t remember the event, which is neither admitting or denying, but the apology is key there.

Louis C.K. straight up admitted the allegations were true.

Masterson denies them, and according to the laws of this country, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.*

*Unless…

How do you make the Knights Templar boring?

Yep. The first Broken Sword video game in the mid-90s played off this history really well.

I have no idea why TV execs air shows out of order. I mean, it worked in the 1960s for shows like Star Trek, that had virtually no continuity other than the Klingon Cold War, but it doesn’t work well today.

Country club was probably the best episode of the series so far.

Personally, I’m really enjoying it, but I do agree that it needs a little something extra to take it to the next level.

You’re absolutely right. How careless of me!

Fox and NBC, I believe, are the only mainstream TV networks who bother to put any effort into their television shows anymore.

Alternatively, their lives pass them by like a warm summer day, a la Mozart. They enjoy unparalleled success and glory and die young.

Because after 15 years of this shit, they’re all old as fuck now.

Thank you for this. I wasn’t aware that we had actually abandoned Newtonian gravity in favor of a newer theory and, while I did get an A in high school geometry, I don’t remember enough of it to take up engineering.

According to this article, the original order was for 10 episodes, so we will be getting at least 8 more episodes in the spring.

Apparently, the only new comedy beating “Ghosted” in the ratings is…

Well, if you watch more than a part of one episode, you’ll see that there actually is paranormal activity.
