Oh gosh. Hulu makes watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine a chore.

Well, so does the fourth season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. But that’s a different matter entirely.

The Star Trek fandom is also absurdly toxic right now. It’s 1987 all over again, but this time we have the internet and Seth MacFarlane.

This. One of the reasons The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is so much fun is that it plays like a traditional sitcom. I mean, it’s a really out-there sitcom with a lot of absurdist humor, but basically every episode is self-contained, and it’s not so overly serialized that you can’t just grab a random episode and watch it.

…

Gal Gadot is the closest example I can think of. Her father is sixth-generation Israeli, so she’s not exactly white. But she’s not Arabic, either.

It wasn’t mentioned here, but another great cooperative board game is Castle Panic! And if you’re not crazy about the high fantasy theme, there are a variety of variations, including Munchkin Panic!, Dead Panic! (zombies) and Star Trek Panic! You work together to fight an ever-growing hoard of…

I just rewatched the scene in question. Captain Mercer instructs Isaac to “focus a tight scanning beam on the city. Gotta know what these people are wearing if we’re going to synthesize the proper clothing.”

They have synthesizers on the shuttle craft as well as an the Orville. It’s quite possible that they could have…

So it’s okay to steal clothes from a peasant and lie about returning them because replicating them yourselves is an inconvenience? I mean, they had enough time to poke around, witness some shit go down, fly back to the ship, watch Kelly experience a crisis of morality, return to the planet to try to fix everything and…

He massacred those barbecued ribs. They never stood a chance.

I thought “Bride of Chaotica!” to be pretty funny. That was probably my favorite holodeck episode of any TV series, except for maybe “Our Man, Bashir.”

Of course, Voyager also had “Fair Haven” and a goddamn sequel to “Fair Haven” that nobody wanted. That balances out any goodwill Captain Proton generated.

And hopefully Seth will write a few less scripts and get some more experienced sci-fi writers on board. Seth did write some good scripts, but he also wrote some pretty bad ones.

I think that TOS was also pretty successful with comedic episodes. “I Mudd,” “The Trouble With Tribbles,” “A Piece of the Action.” Those are the only three episodes played mainly for laughs, and they’re all pretty. And even though “The Squire of Gothos” was fairly serious, William Campbell was hilarious as Trelane.

I…

I am officially in love with this cat.

But then, I love all cats. Almost as much as I love my targ.

This movie could have been good. It has the potential to be good. It has an interesting fantasy premise. But watching Will Smith play an insufferable racist is not good fun.

Not quite true. It’s used to describe Wesley Crusher.

Yeah...he was also the villain. Villains in 1980s action movies were always assholes.

Probably because Kurtwood is an upstanding guy.

Who just happens to enjoy calling people “dumbass.”

And sticking his foot up their dumb asses.

Kurtwood Smith was on that show, and he’s amazing.

So...if you’re a liberal, then you’re a Scientologist?

God damn, I love your logic, son!

The past tense verb form of ‘shit’ is ‘shat.’ “Seems like they are always *shat* on.”

I think Marco’s is regional. There are a lot of regional pizza chains. Round Table Pizza is one. There was another pizza chain down in Arkansas that competes with Little Caesars, but I forget the name.

That’s the thing. These stories don’t write themselves. Believe it or not, it takes a lot of people sitting in a writing room a lot of effort to write these stories, create these characters, make sure they’re not just riffing off of something that’s been done before, or at least finding a way to take that riff in a…
