    Spoilers Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Grading & Discussion

    Yes, that's exactly what I said! I said I had blind faith in them all. I didn't say at all that BOTH views are overly simplistic. Pay attention, indeed... Oh, and over reaction would be grading a movie before one has viewed it.

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Grading & Discussion

    True, but that doesn't put it above criticism. Your cynical reading of these movie reviewers as all being bought and paid for is just as overly simplistic as saying that the role of money and insider status plays no role in movie reviews

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Grading & Discussion

    That is disingenuous. Almost like giving a movie an "F" rating without ever having watched it...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x09 - "Into the Forest I Go"

    Wow. That was exciting! And although I've liked the series so far, I don't think I've ever said that about it until tonight. Great pacing and action throughout the episode. Loved just about everything, especially that the Klingons spoke English, sparing us of the monotony and drone of their...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    It felt like it. I looked at the episode length and it was somewhere around 41 minutes. When you take out the previews and credits, it’s got to be under 40. Why on earth do they limit their run times when they are on a streaming site? I’m sure they hope to sell them in syndication someday, but...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x07 - "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad"

    So, Star Trek? Look, this show deserves a lot of criticism, but most shows are going to come off as "sophomoric shit" when compared to The Americans or Breaking Bad. But then again I wouldn't put Game of Thrones or House of Cards or Dexter on any list of good writing.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x06 - "Lethe"

    Yeah, it's been real bad. I've had no problems with it until now either.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x06 - "Lethe"

    Is anyone else having troubles with the stream?

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x05 - "Choose Your Pain"

    The trailer was at the end of the credits. At least it was for All Access.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x05 - "Choose Your Pain"

    Oh I say it a lot. It just doesn't sound like it's the first time I've ever uttered it when I say it.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x05 - "Choose Your Pain"

    It's just a word, but I guess 13 year old me thought it was fucking cool to hear it on Star Trek. But it did feel like it was more "hey, we can say 'fuck' now on TV!" Welcome to 1999.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x04 - "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry"

    No, they don't. Just like Trek has always done with a lot of other things, ignore it when it's not necessary. The Klingons of TOS bear little resemblance, and I'm talking how they are characterized, to their TNG counterparts.
  13. Chekov's Phaser

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x04 - "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry"

    No, it's not. Just like it wasn't necessary for them to explain the very different appearance and characterization of the Klingons in TMP and TNG.
  14. Chekov's Phaser

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x04 - "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry"

    I liked Stamet's line "I always wanted to converse with my mushrooms!" Almost seemed like banter between people who weren't just trying to be assholes to each other. And Tory, I mean Landry, died! I'm ok with this. Felt really sorry for the beastie, and I hope Burnham grows a conscience about...

    Where did all the future tech come from?

    This is always the most logical response to every one of these threads, yet it's always overlooked by the OP as if it isn't.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x03 - "Context is for Kings"

    When it takes it self too seriously? For me, yes.
  17. Chekov's Phaser

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x03 - "Context is for Kings"

    Still some clunky dialogue, but there were more hints of how normal people speak. Loved Burnham's "Shit, that worked." Little bits of humor here and there, but this is still trying to be SERIOUS TREK a little too hard. I'm definitely intrigued by what's happening on Discovery, though.

    THE ORVILLE - S1, E4: "IF THE STARS SHOULD APPEAR"...

    Liam Neesons! Show gets better and better. It's not high art, but it sure is entertaining and fun!

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x02 - "Battle at the Binary Stars"

    Because her past trauma caused by the Klingons, and what just happened to her Captain, affected her to the point that killing T'Kuvma was revenge. I don't think she thought much beyond a moment of hatred, anger, and vengeance.
