    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x03 - "In the Cradle of Vexilon"

    Doh, I was voting on Episode 2, not 3. I don't have psychic powers or anything...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x09 - "Subspace Rhapsody"

    I am one of the people who rated this in the middle. There was some good and bad in this episode: The strong: -The "musical" aspect was explained and well incorporated into the story. -Most of Spock's numbers. Peck has a solid voice and his songs seemed to come very organically. -Chapel's...

    Discovery ending with Season 5

    I'm pretty much the opposite about season 4. In spite of how messy they were, I enjoyed season 1 and 2 far more than 3 and 4. For me, it felt like once they got to the more distant future, the writers really struggled with the world building. In addition, once the Disco crew finally meets the...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x01 - "The Next Generation"

    I don't give too many of these, but this is a 10 in my book. The old but good: 1. The music-- perhaps it could be argued as fan service, but dang, some of the callback music was spot-on and sent shivers. 2. Some of the callback sequences (I'm looking at you, spacedock and Titan launch.) 3. The...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x14 - "Crossroads"

    This felt like the weakest installment of Prodigy thus far. My main issue with it is that the entire "problem" would be resolved with about two minutes of talking to each other. It makes sense that Gwyn would freak out and leave when she learns her father is on board with Starfleet due to her...

    Dr. Boyce question

    Just a thought on all of the Star Trek "demotions." If the Federation no longer uses money and nobody gets a paycheck, promotions and demotions would presumably mean a lot less to many people. Sure, there's the "status" of being in a command or other high-level position, but I could easily see...

    TOS purist fans, what do you think of this scene from Star Trek Beyond

    Also, although GR likes to take full responsibility for the diversity of the show, according to Inside Star Trek, Herb Solow indicates that CBS actually pushed for more diversity from Desilu productions. Studies in the 60s were showing that x number of minorities were watching TV (go figure) and...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x08 - "Crisis Point Ⅱ: Paradoxus"

    True, but I have to say that I prefer its use in Airplane 2. "Buck Murdock (Shatner)--What have you found? --All I've found is that these red lights keep moving back and forth. Other than that, this thing seems to have no function whatsoever. Buck--That's impossible. It must have some sort...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x08 - "Crisis Point Ⅱ: Paradoxus"

    I don't know if this was mentioned yet, but they also referenced the red blinky light device which showed up several times in Star Trek and Airplane II.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x06 - "Hear All, Trust Nothing"

    Michael Connelly Doh! Sorry about that!

    Which is better, The Orville or Lower Decks?

    I would be in the "I like both" camp; however, in an either/or scenario where I had to choose, I would choose Lower Decks over Orville. Oddly, perhaps, I enjoyed Orville better in seasons 1 and 2 rather than 3 with season 2 being the best. Orville season 1 was (broadly speaking) a comedic Star...

    Spoilers She-Hulk: Attorney at Law discussion thread

    Perhaps I should rephrase since I wasn't timing the episode. The pacing of the episode worked well for me. There were no points where I felt it lagged.

    Spoilers She-Hulk: Attorney at Law discussion thread

    Starting slightly off topic regarding the overall MCU, I do think that (for me) it's been somewhat tougher to get into post Endgame material simply because Endgame felt like the end of an 11 year plot arc/journey. Both the gap due to the pandemic and the idea that we are going deeper into the...

    Why Is "Into Darkness" So [imagine a different, more accurate past participle here]?

    I really liked this movie. I think perhaps it is at least in part because I was watching "Fringe" at the time as well, so I felt like I saw was JJ Abrams was doing. For those that don't know or remember, one major point in Fringe is that the characters enter a parallel universe where they find...

    Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

    So I work as a chat agent for a large company. Today, after talking to someone for about 15 - 20 minutes, I received this as we completed what she wanted, "Thank you very much. If you were real, I would tell you to have a good evening." I am not sure whether or not I should be amused that I...

    Spoilers The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Discussion

    I have been pretty critical of a number of choices made for the Orville this season, but I was ok with the Kaylon backstory. While we only get the one android's backstory, it could easily be imagined that many of the androids had it even worse or for much longer periods of time. Since the...

    Poll If SNW continues right up until Pike's accident should they remake/recontextualize The Menagerie?

    If the TOS episodes were to stay the same (and I hope those would be left alone), I could see a rescue mission by Number One. She is already in a legal grey area as far as Starfleet is concerned. It really depends upon how the powers that be wanted to play it. Section 31; Number One resigns...

    Spoilers The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Discussion

    I may need more time to digest this one. First, I hate Ensign Charly a little less after this episode. She's still a jerk and definitely NOT trying to be at all professional regardless of what she states based upon her facial and physical reactions to Isaac at any opportunity, but at least she...
