We should never have watched it in the first place.

The things about Star Trek is that itβ€˜s always had such a range of storytelling even within each different show that people now remember only the ones they liked best and forgot about the others (or deride them as β€žfillerβ€œ) and decided these ones are the actual β€žStar Trekβ€œ.

I don't think I knew that!

"often attributed" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, since he never said it.

She should have gone with "my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives" from A Few Good Men.

It feels so basic bitch to say Hamlet, but I'm going to say Hamlet.

I'm at the combination...

There was a time when I liked this show, but I remember season three when instead of a tight 45 min show, every episode blew out to 70-80 minutes and a lot of that bloat was just SFX shots.

Yes this!

Quick, get the SFA kids to recreate this. Picardo can be in it, too.

I'm not even sure what is recoverable from the concept. Outlaws on the space frontier where it literalises the western aesthetic? Might as well just make it something else entirely. (I liked it at the time. Saw a rough cut of Serenity before the final music mix. Hardly ever think about it now.)

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

M*t*l*s proved that fanboys are the worst showrunners. And it wasn't just the terrible choices he made on the show, it was the way he reacted to any/all criticism on Twitter, too. Searching his own name to fight people. Pathetic.

So awkward.

Why though?

Nah, we can skip this.

I am worried for Nahla Ake all over again, which would be nice for drama but I really don't want to lose Holly Hunter #StarfleetAcademy

Otherwise, I think the structure of the season has been strong. A good balance of action and character-based episodes. Strong emotional arcs and weaving in season-long plot. Not enough time for school stuff though. #StarfleetAcademy

The penultimate episode of S1 of #StarfleetAcademy is a solid set-up for the finale, which nails the emotion of the reunion and really digs into where the cadets are at in their friendships. Just a shame that their first year at the Academy is squeezed into 8 episodes.

This sounds like an ad, but it's about murder.

I once told Aaron Sorkin to back off.

I’ve seen it said that the conclusive proof for innate sexuality is the continued existence of heterosexual women over the age of 30.

So, if you break Mom's vase, it's now a felony.

Albo is spineless, but this is a good pitch from Carney.

I really thought it was for publicity AGAIN but I'm glad she got help, but how do you make up for 25 years of their shitfuckery?
