Far as I can tell, not being there and only using the internet, Tom Petty is in fact still alive. It's utterly ridiculous but not surprising that news media can't be trusted to report whether someone is alive or dead. Also, the people who misreported Tom Petty's death are also telling you that Discovery is a great show.

Hmm, just missed your window on that one buddy.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

The Gifted is surprisingly not terrible. Doesn't really hurt either that they somehow nabbed both Amy Acker and Sean Teale. :swoon:

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

So I watched STD episode 3. It's a really good Star Trek show. I like it and anyone who doesn't is a dumb.

Yeah episode 3 felt like it should have been the pilot. Keeping her backstory somewhat mysterious for a time, rather than having what amounted to a flashy tv movie about it, would have worked better imo.

If there was one I'd probably say that while I thought some of the fan art styles were cool and interesting, ultimately it was a distraction and didn't suit the episode.

Was there one with everyone styled after their actors? I was expecting one but don't recall seeing one.

That's Amy Acker? I kept thinking it was Judy Greer's doppelganger. At least now I can stop trying to think about where I recognize her from.

And I can go back to marveling that Vampire Bill is yet again not using his real accent for Reasons.

I just kind of have a knee jerk hostility to all Whedon nostalgia or fanboying these days. Like... its been a decade or two. Lets all move on.

Plus he turned out to be a creep, right? Which really shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone from his shows.

I like Whedon but his style is dated af and I don't get the praise he continued to be showered with post-Angel.

Firefly was good but not groundbreaking. To be honest of his post Buffy/Angel stuff ... I liked Dollhouse more.

Like I said, knee jerk reaction to any Whedon associated fanboying like the Amy Acker stuff. Key on "knee jerk." I know its my problem.

IMO the internet discourse about Whedon is 100x worse than anything Whedon has ever done on the screen.
