Brad Whitford too. Completely stacked.

It’s very very good. The book used is excellent so it’s not a surprise. Top notch casting helps too

It’s really good. American history is wild. If you wrote parts of it as a fictional screenplay, even Netflix would say nah that’s too fuckin’ crazy! Oh wait, that actually happened?? Go make a 4 episode miniseries.

Only reason I didn’t say Borg was to avoid spoilers lol

Really good. I kept waiting for Mulder and Scully to show up. Also great is the feeling of going from WTF am I watching? to ohhh I get it and yeah I’m in

True. By this time Kirk vs computer was a trope but this is actually a great episode that probably doesn’t get enough credit. William Marshall is fantastic throughout

As a Dem voter in PA, this guy is a bitter disappointment. A wasted vote even. I hope he decides not to run for reelection. He will be primaried if he does not

True. They could easily do submarine battle in space without relying on Balance of Terror or Wrath of Khan (which was already mined for the second worst Star Trek film ever made) or anything else that’s been done in the last 6 decades with Trek

Same. ROTJ is a flawed film. I know this and do not care. It’s the first Star Wars I saw in theaters and I love it, warts and all

That’s bc the creators desperately want a Star Trek Year One show and they’ve wanted it since S1 of SNW. I’d prefer Goldsman stay far away from the script that will eventually land on movie screens. New ownership needs Star Trek to work.

Here’s a great idea for the next Star Trek film. I hear Paramount is ditching the Chris Pine-led cast for a fresh take. Red October in space would work well. Hell, there’s even an old episode to mine as well (Balance of Terror)

I stick with the first two. Force Awakens is a perfectly enjoyable Star Wars re-tread and TLJ is excellent at points and is the only Disney Skywalker movie to actually take some risks.

Arguably any one of the prequels is better than the Rise of Skywalker. The whole thing is a hot mess and it’s what happens when you want to make one of the movies in your trilogy completely irrelevant. Cowardly decisions were made throughout

That rancid grifting ancient bastard will never (legally) be on a national ballot again. Never as in forever not happening

Love this. I actually guffawed

Congratulations! It’s can’t miss. Have always loved the BTS of Trek. Not BTS but I picked up Mr. Scott’s Guide to the Enterprise in ‘86, read it in a day and a half and I’ve been hooked since!

@thepressbox.bsky.social Only in Journalism alert. Reading Every Day is Sunday by Ken Belson. Rupert Murdoch is “a bare-knuckled Australian” re Fox swooping in to buy the NFC package in 1993. Great book so far

How long would it take for him to comprehend trust but verify? Is he capable to? Highly doubtful

Also I’ve given up trying to tie this show in as a direct prequel to TOS. It just isn’t and trying to make it so was just upsetting me. Also, it’s so clear they want a Year One spinoff. Kirk gets too much focus too

Yeah. And I rarely watch Kimmel. He’s funny but didn’t need to watch him all that often

Yeah and usually I have no problem giving it all the leeway it wants bc I enjoy the actors a ton but there are times I bump on it. The amount of Kirk is another example. Akiva wants that ST: Year One show so bad, he’s begging for it in 6 of 10 episodes a season

Yeah she’s a bit of an acquired taste. What I keep bumping on is how this is supposed to be pre-TOS but it just isn’t. I love Chapel and Jess Bush in this show but sometimes the leap is too huge. And yes it’s unfair to compare this against a 60 yr old show but occasionally I can’t help it

The acting choices he made are strange and too robotic even for a Vulcan. Carol Kane is as always excellent and the the special guest star Vulcan is fantastic to see. Other than that, it’s an an extremely meh episode

When he goes, it’ll be on one of his shitty golf courses. Book it

No real argument here. And the Children Shall Lead is much higher on my list. Worst episode of the show. Spock’s Brain is routinely named that but it’s miles better than Children

Same method as with COVID. If we don’t test, the problem magically disappears. Now if we don’t release numbers, the economy will do well no matter what. Utter BS!

True fact: This was the movie he did after plans to put him in Star Trek 4 (the one with the whales) fell through. He’s a massive Trek fan

I’m in. They so desperately want this show. Look how much Kirk is already in SNW. (No spoilers for S3, I’m bingeing my way there now). A Quality of Mercy is basically a stealth TOS episode that really works for me

I didn’t have high hopes for the Section 31 movie but wow was it a jumbled mess of the various phases of its development
