    Ms Marvel (spoilers)

    Simping? I think my age may be showing but the closest connection I have to that word is simp, which was short for simpleton when I was a kid. Basically a way of calling someone stupid. I did a Google search and got the definition "when someone obsesses over someone else who does not return...

    The boys season 3 spoilers

    I got the feeling that Maeve is just a better fighter than Homelander because of all of that training. Homelander really just relies on, I think, the sheer brute force his abilities give him without much in the way of finesse whereas Maeve actually knows how to fight.

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    While Ortegas did fill some of Styles role in the show I never felt she was intended to be the bigot Styles was, just that she was a war-hawk who saw the need to strike at the Romulans in retaliation for their actions. Honestly, of all of the characters in SNW Ortegas has had the least character...

    The boys season 3 spoilers

    I was disappointed by this. I really like Maeve as a character and am sorry to see her go. At least she went out as the hero we occasionally saw she could be.

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    I can understand the feeling but, on the other hand, it seems to be such an ingrained part of Trek that if we didn't have it occasionally it would be weird.

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    Technically yes it's Prime but honestly, I sometimes feel like all of the Paramount+ series, except Lower Decks, are an alternate timeline. I feel like we have three timelines: TOS through Enterprise is the Prime timeline and then the Abramsverse and the P+ timelines (with Lower Decks likely...

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    Balance of Terror!!!! My all-time favorite Star Trek episode. This was a really cool take on it, including some of the scenes and dialog being identical, or close to, to the original episode. My favorite bit was that it showed while there can be different command styles, all valid and...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Season 1 Finale - Enter the Scotsman! :p Pretty sure that was Scotty talking to Spock over comms

    What do you think of Marvel post-Endgame?

    Yeah, and I still stand by my original statement that it's no different than what we see in tons of other comics and movies. If you dislike every other movie for the same reason then fair enough but otherwise, in my opinion, it's just piling on criticisms for a movie you didn't like anyways. And...

    What do you think of Marvel post-Endgame?

    I read a review of Multiverse of Madness on some comic site (Bleeding Cool?) where the writer saw it right when it first came out and when leaving the theater he overheard people being confused by Wanda having kids. The kids never appeared in the movies and the movie goers, apparently, didn't...

    What do you think of Marvel post-Endgame?

    It's all subjective. I enjoyed the movie, other than Taskmaster, which was a wasted opportunity of a really cool character. I personally am glad we didn't get any interconnected bits because I wish Marvel would back off of that a bit. Why would there have been any cameos (awesome or not)? The...

    What do you think of Marvel post-Endgame?

    Obviously the younger generation, whipper-snappers I believe is the correct term, need to bone up on older movies. ;)

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    If I remember correctly, the showrunner changed for season four and so did the feel of the show. Season four has some really good episodes (to be honest, I think there were a lot of good episodes of Enterprise aside from the temporal cold war stuff).

    What do you think of Marvel post-Endgame?

    I have to wonder how Anson Mount reacted when he got the call to play Black Bolt again. The Inhumans TV show was universally panned and I imagine he never thought he would play that character again.

    What do you think of Marvel post-Endgame?

    This was my least favorite until Iron Man 3

    What do you think of Marvel post-Endgame?

    Honestly, I don't think it is. I only have it because it's included in my cellular plan. If I didn't have it I would just wait until the DVDs/Blu-ray were released for the shows I want and get them from my local library or buy them if I want them long term. Honestly, the more I think about it...

    The Orville vs ST: Brave New Worlds (Poll)

    I would say no, DISCO was a dud for three seasons (after which I gave up on it) with the SNW cast being the only light in the very dark tunnel of season two.

    What do you think of Marvel post-Endgame?

    Captain Marvel seems to get a lot of criticism, and some seems undeserved. Some of it I get, people like what they like and tastes vary. Some of it seemed to come from people with a political/social agenda even before seeing the movie. I personally enjoyed it but am willing to admit it could...

    Ms Marvel (spoilers)

    This was interesting. I am fully aware that the European powers really messed up the geopolitics of the Middle East when they drew a bunch of artificial borders in the area, leading to (in part) some of the problems in that part of the world. However, I wasn't as aware of the partitioning of...

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    Well, Trek has always been a bit wonky when it comes to canon. It really only gets paid attention to when it serves the plot. Remember when warp drive was causing subspace rifts in the TNG episode Force of Nature so the Federation instituted a rule that the maximum speed a starship could use was...
