Like, the tl;dr of my core argument re JJTrek is that everyone wants to compare ~500 minutes of movie to ~135 minutes of three seasons of television. It's apples to oranges.

Re-watch Turnabout Intruder (or Spock's Brain, or A Piece of the Action, or The Omega Glory, or Catspaw, or Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, or just a bunch of others), and tell me with a straight face that a certain amount of 'dumbness' wasn't woven into Star Trek from the start. As for anti-intellectualism, that's…

This is the sort of thing I was referring to, yeah - the blanket assumption that all 'real' fans dislike JJTrek. I'm living proof that's not the case, m'friend. STiD was mildly disappointing and Beyond should have been better, but they're perfectly fine movies, both at least in the middle range of all Trek movies. And…

I have no idea who you are or why you seem to think my comment was directed at you (it wasn't, peace out).

Along with Spock's Brain and A Piece of the Action, Wolf In The Fold's always been one of my go-tos whenever someone starts complaining about JJTrek. Oh it's goofy, kind of unserious? That shit was in the mother's milk, my friend.

My problem with this show is the opposite of not getting it. Rather, I so perfectly understand this show that its every beat is exactly what I would expect. The premise led me to suspect that it would never once surprise me and the two episodes I've seen have amply confirmed that suspicion. It's a shame, because…

Yeah, Joe is easily the least enjoyable MC at this point. Also, my continuing urge to hunt down and beat up anyone who's mean to Donna rages unabated.

Will… will he finish TWoW if I pretend to care? Because I mean… I care. A lot.

+1, with the caveat that if best means "The one you want tasked with avenging your death" you go Sisko every time.

It did come after he phrased it as a proposal, and all Emily responded with was 'Huh?' or similar, clearly not listening.

It has repercussions when the person survives, which is rare. Once they're dead, they're dead.

"Her reasons make her at least somewhat sympathetic."

So was Abbington's Cluedo guess a hint ('the swimming pool') that Mycroft had ties to Moriarty? Or are they just teasing knowing we'll think that? Or, are they, knowing that we know that they're just teasing, actually double-bluffing? Or, knowing as they do that we know that they know that we know that they're just…

It's interesting, because it suggests some very specific limitations. Clearly, it's not enough to understand what Jesse's saying, either - Donny can see that Jesse's talking, and he's hardly saying "Pass the salt"; Donny knows Jesse is telling him to put the gun down. But simply because he can't hear it, it doesn't…

In the comic, he's always in silhouette, and never referred to by name. I'm sure that Ennis got the idea from True Romance, where Val Kilmer is very clearly Elvis, but is always at least half off-camera and never named as such. But I can live with the change.

Keeper's fault. Piss-poor ball out, moves straight towards the touchline to support instead of heading out a little to achieve the same effect without leaving the goal open. Should have done better with the touch she got to it, too.

I very much doubt that 'power plant' setup is an actual power plant.
