Starfleet... but with state school instead of Ivy League graduates.

What I meant was Jim Kirk had many adventures where we all knew he'd survive to the end credits. "Stakes are a relative thing when you're talking about TV series and media franchises. It's why Game of Thrones stood out so much - the folks you thought were protagonists could die. I'm looking...

In what way? Kirk didn't die until the first TNG movie, after his TV show and film series. Bond didn't... well, I actually haven't see the last one, but I assume in that one!

Yeah, for me the most compelling part of the show so far is Obi-Wan wrestling with PTSD (and the feelings he had for Padme?). When they raised the stakes in the traditional way for an adventure story by putting Vader on-screen, I found myself reaching for my iPad.

And how long did that take?

Plot immunity didn’t hurt Kirk or Bond. Well okay hurt yes, but kill, no.

You know, seeing Vader did very little for me. However, seeing Obi-Wan in the back of a space pickup looking at Leia while his eyes said, "I would like to have been your mom. It... could have been good. She was great." was excellent.

A Star Trek screwball comedy? Make it so!

Print up an Antifa membership card and mail it to him?

That sounds like a 1990s comic book starring X-O Manowar's lawyer.

@bloodtide may need a new hobby. Might I suggest fashioning a cross out of two-by-fours and nailing himself to it?

Danny's a character created by Grant Morrison for his (amazing) run on Doom Patrol. His name is a pun on Irish singer/drag performer Danny La Rue, OBE.

Thoughts: Precocious Leia is almost as adorable as Baby Yoda. She does get better lines, though. Ewan’s acting here might redeem the prequels. There’s still good in them, I can feel it. I love the restraint being shown. No saber duel yet.

Apropos of nothing, you think Wes will ever direct a science fiction film? I read his next is called “Asteroid City”, but I feel like he might be toying with me.

Originals or Bowie covers? Also, favorite new character: Hemmer.

It’s like reading the business world equivalent of a Rolemaster critical fumble chart.

Last week was Space Contagion and this week is "Balance of Terror" mixed with the nebula battle from Wrath of Khan - with a big helping of character development for Khan's descendent. I applaud this show's commitment to obliterating the line between fan-service and art. This is all very well...
