Looking at wikipedia, "A Mary Sue is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character". Within her first two episodes she gets her captain killed, ignites a Klingon/Federation war and gets court-martialed. If Burnham's a Mary Sue then the writers have some really weird ideas about perfectness...

Well, presumably the Klingon attack was called off once the events on Qo'noS ended the war, so technically they never attempted an attack on Starfleet HQ, they were just on their way and really, really close.

I have this episode playing now. I usually let the bad jokes go but figured I'd call this one out. https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/H3j6qdk.jpg I'm guessing the point of the bad joke here was to show Sisko and Eddington being chummy and we're supposed to use our suspension of disbelief to pretend the jok...

Weeeeell, I guess the mirror thing makes a bit more sense now

Curiously German Netflix has episodes I-II and V-VII but not IV. Did you like VIII? I haven't watched it yet but I have looked up the spoilers out of curiosity :? Yeah I liked it. It had everything I was expecting out of star wars. The things that bothered the critics didn't bother me so much. I di...

Just wondering, does anybody know if there is a legal way to watch this show in Germany? I checked on Amazon video, Netflix and iTunes but I couldn't find it there. Sometimes I watch it on public television here but other times I download it. It lets you watch it on https://www.fox.com for a free h...

It's been some time since I watched this movie but I think a reason could be that Picard might get tempted to stay and live his perfect life and I imagine it to be a lot harder to let go of that after thousands of years as opposed to one brief scene. And of course even if he would have let go he'd ...
