I was leery because of McFarlane, but thought I'd try since people here liked it. It's on the DVR now, guess I'll just be prepared to delete at the first sign of McFarlane-ness.

I realized this morning that I was drawn in by the Trek love, and Galaxy Quest, of course.
A real life verification of the power of beer-goggles. And I don't drink!

I am going to watch it again. I don't like McFarlane and it wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be. I was really expecting something like Family Guy in Space.
Maybe I just want something that is space and light hearted and I am overlooking things.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Well, this doesn't bode well: CBS has put an embargo on Star Trek: Discovery reviews prior to it airing. [link]

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, rod roddenberry is at the con, and he was saying that he asked CBS if there was anything he could tell or show or ANYTHING, and they were all, "no."
A well-established way to build buzz.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I don't recall seeing anything overtly rapey, but it got to the point where the regular jokes on Family Guy were so abusive in tone that it triggered me.
They definitely went the domestic violence route, in many ways. There was a whole episode about Quagmire's sister being abused that was played for laughs. Disgusting.

I watched the second episode of Orville because I was at my bf's and he wanted to watch it.
It was weirdly paced. Also it made no sense. The concept was actually interesting but that was it.
Holland Taylor and Jeffrey Talbot had small parts but that was only a highlight because they are good. The material was a retread.

Only TVing when exercising - so way behind. Has anyone commented on fact that Dark Matter and Killjoys have the same macro=plot arc? Big scary hive mind (alien goo on Killjoy's , Hybrid Nanobot/viruses from another universe on Dark Matter). We even have the kickass woman lead compromised by evil in both season finales. Not quite caught up on expanse, but it seems to be playing the alien super-viusr game too. However, they make it much more convincingly alien with an eerie beauty - instead of a bwa-ha=haing Bond villain in hivemind form. Also,, giving the more convincing world-buidling and politics in the Expnse, and the slight bis towards nuance and subtlety, I wonder if there will be room for negotiation with the thing. If not I'll bet here will be at least doomed atttempts at negotation.
