I was into it with Rashida Jones too. Good shows are often good because they have a slow burn. It's not much of an arch without it. And it makes the peak more climactic, IMO. It was a surprising death out of the gate. It reminded me of Ned Stark. Rebecca Ferguson makes a great tomboy take-no-shit rosey the riveter type. Sometimes I feel like I can hear her accent underneath the dialogue, but the emotional acting is definitely there.

Not that it was much better before Trump or anything.

Making a show about Feds at this point and time is like making a show about Nazi Gestapos.

Thanks! I didn't notice that was out already. They must have filmed everything all at once .

If I thought Ukrainians were all chumps then I wouldn't be advocating for their democratic rights to self determination. Let them vote, FFS.

With all the Russophobic conditioning you've been through it's probably hard to wrap your head around the fact that the Ukraine War has seen the lowest civilian death rate than any major conflict in world history. This is what happens when a nation is pushed into conflict but still sees their adversary as human. Name one war of aggression by America that fits that.

Ukraine is a hostage scenario, and Russia is liberating them. This was especially evident in the liberation of Mariupol, an ethnic Russian city that democratically seceded after the coup and before the Azov Brigade made them into prisoners, slaughtering anyone who tried to flee East.

Watching Chechens stack the Nazi's bodies like cordwood was more satisfying than I care to admit. 🍿👍

Odessa next, please.

You use the word "dictator" like a subjective pejorative instead of a definition. Just say you don't like him. You don't have to like him to acknowledge he is the duly elected leader of a sovereign nation. Again, democracy to people like you is just selective privilege enjoyed on the backs of the oppressed. America directly arms over 80% of dictatorship globally, but we reserve the word only for those with natural resources we wish to covet. It's not your fossil fuels. It's not your rare earth minerals. They're not your slaves for your T-shirt factories.

The American Empire is at its end and you need to come to terms with that, as well as with the delusional propaganda you regurgitate.

It's over. Go home.

The main character isn't introduced until episode three

Is Collin Hanks's character still alive? Because I'd love to see him eat shit in a post apocalyptic wasteland.

It's Berman Era or nothing for me. Trek died with Enterprise, IMO. Paramount is incapable and unwilling to honor Roddenberry's vision.

Miss Piggy is such a messy bitch. I love it.
