It's only the first episode so we will see what changes but if you are willing to put your life's truths on a TV show then expect it to be reduced. TV/movies aren't about realism, this is fictionalized TV and not real life. Most viewers aren't going to read interviews by the writer and...

I like that "hijinks" is now becoming how we talk about this show. I was ok with Pike's reaction. I think his reaction to the treatment of a child was normal human one and in character for him. I thought the story did a good job of examining a complex philosophical problem. We saw Pike's...

It wasn't so much that I didn't like them, it was more that it's a really old trope that just seemed lazy to me.

I thought it was Teth-Adam. https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Teth-Adam_(Prime_Earth)

Why mess with a money-making formula? ;) I agree though. I love superhero movies, in large part because I have been reading comics since the late 70s/early 80s so I am all over any chance to see even a mindlessly entertaining superhero movie. The problem is, with Marvel specifically and...

I really enjoy this show. I went back and rewatched the first two seasons before starting the third and, all of the insane and gross stuff aside, the show fits a fair amount of social commentary into its stories.

I really wasn't expecting to like the show but it was better than I thought. I didn't care for the parents though. The serious parents who try to dissuade their kid from embracing their artistic tendencies fell flat for me. My only other issue was the FX for Kamala's powers, it just looked off...

I wish I were more excited for this movie. I love the Justice Society so that alone should have me all over this movie but I'm not a huge fan of Dwayne Johnson. He's an ok actor but every time I watch one of his movies I feel like I am watching Dwayne Johnson, not whatever character his is...

That's usually what I was doing during class instead of paying attention. I sat in the back with my face buried in my book :)

Not everyone will have the same response to phenomena. People aren't identical and don't react in exactly the same ways, they tend to react along a spectrum. Assuming someone is making a conscious decision to overlook a perceived inconsistency is not a fair assumption, they may just be more...

My grades in high school SUCKED. I was a slacker who barely did any of the work required except for the few classes that interested me. I barley had passing grades and was primarily the DM so while what you say may be generally true there are people like myself who were exceptions to that.

Another really good episode. The whole mind swap thing was so TOS and I loved it. We got more La'an and Chapel goodness, which is always a treat but I'm still finding it hard to care about Ortegas. I've been surprised with how little of Hemmer we have seen so far.

I expect my DM to dance a jig for my amusement.....

To each their own but the Paramount+ era seems to fly in the face of that. You have Discovery (which I can't stand) which is wildly different from any Trek before it, so much so that for the few seasons I watched it I rarely felt like I was watching Star Trek. There is Lower Decks, an animated...

I'm going to have to disagree with you here, biology matters. As we age our brains shrink, it starts in your 30s - 40s and the rate increases in your 60s. The area of our brain most affected is the prefrontal cortex which is where executive functions like impulse control, reasoning, problem...

To be fair, we haven't really seen other Starfleet ships in SNW. Starfleet isn't primarily a "military" organization, it's an exploration organization that also fulfils the role of a military. Even so, that doesn't mean that Enterprise is a pushover. To paraphrase Captain Kirk, they were "caught...

The entire time I was watching this episode I kept thinking about the TOS episode Balance of Terror, it's one of my favorite episodes and it also evoked submarine combat. Wrath of Khan also did that really well. La'an is rapidly becoming one of my favorite characters on the show, second only to...

I just rewatched the first three episodes and have really grown to like the new take on Nurse Chapel. At first she just seemed "off" to me, just too different than the character from TOS but I am really enjoying the more upbeat but very confident version we are getting in SNW. La'an is another...

Sure, language and concepts change over time, and I have no problem with that which is why I find it helpful to provide a definition so others know where I am approaching something from. However, if the definitions become too squishy they become useless. If Star Trek is hard sci-fi compared to...
