The scores on these prestige streaming shows are always bullshit. They’re usually based off just a handful of critics who saw the first few episodes. These shows are usually front-loaded with quality and then fall apart mid or late in the season, so the scores start great and by the time bad reviews come in most people have moved on.
Been seeing this headline for going on 10 years now.
I’ve grown more fond of Wesley as I’ve grown older. He’s only ever really “annoying” in season one, but the entire show was rough back them. I wish we had gotten more of Wesley post season 4, during TNG’s peak years.
Janeway is a fine character. Like all the crew on Voyager she is inconsistently written, but she is one of the better characters. Neelix fits the OP best.
As someone who’s become more and more of a Scrooge over the years, Gremlins is my partner and I’s go to “Not Christmas” Movie
Similar in vibes, though more “Christmasy” Krampus (2015) has become another of my holiday staples.
Love to see my favorite homoerotic fart movie discussed on Lemmy!
That’s embarrassing for an item with this price tag. It makes the entries product unimpressive and gives the notion that it was rushed.
The school bully to cop pipeline is real
Ah yes, a “beautiful” soul shopping at Amazon Foods.
Shaxs has some great anti-facist quotes!
BOIMLER: I just asked if you learned how to throw pots on Bajor.
SHAXS: You think I had time for anything other then resisting? Fighting Fascism is a full time job!
Benevolent dictator is an oxymoron. The most benevolent thing a dictator can do is dismantle their dictatorship.
Has been for years. Notorious Scab too.
There’s so many layers of irony to this event. You can’t make this shit up.
A man, who made a career downplaying gun violence and advocating against empathy for its victims, was shot while giving a talk about his favorite topic under a tent that said “Prove me wrong”, on a college campus in a state that just lifted its ban on weapons on college campuses. His own quotes can be endlessly used to shut down any outrage at his ironic demise.
Charlie Kirk’s final moments were spent being definitively and completely proven wrong.
If this wasn’t going to used as an excuse to ban Trans people from owning firearms and for further violence against the opposition, it would be hilarious.
Yeah I know its straight out of the Fascist playbook, but this is way to conveniently timed and flawlessly executed. Its going to take some pretty compelling evidence for me to be convinced that this wasn’t a false flag. I definitely wont trust that its whomever the regime eventually pins it on.
Charlie was a disposable pawn of right wing moneyed interests, and he will continue to serve those interests in death.
Honestly I’ve always hated this. An early example of the awful trend where there has to be a “lore reason” for every little detail.
Star Trek aliens are mostly humanoids because its a human TV show telling stories that have to be relatable to humans and also has a limited budget. There is no need for a lore explanation.
At least in this case it’s a one off that’s never really referenced again.
I’m good either way. if the last thing I see in life is my wife’s tits, then I die a happy man!
Future Foundation is pretty much the definitive modern F4 story. Hickmens run as a whole is peak.
A problem with the F4 is that their golden age of stories was back in the Silver Age of Comic Books. They were a cornerstone a lot of the early world-building of the Marvel Universe. Their lasting legacy has been the characters and ideas these stories introduced to the Marvel universe: Dr Doom, Galactus, The Silver Surfer, Black Panther, The Negative Zone, ect. Marvel has long struggled to adapt the team to the modern era.
I haven’t seen the movie yet, but IMO the best F4 stories are ones where they aren’t so much a team of super heroes, but rather a team of scientist and explorers with super powers. They are better suited to telling sci-fi stories rather then traditional superhero stories.
No. You could argue the system that brought him to power is though.
A system that’s sole purpose is to empower a few kid diddling degenerates. A system that has been intentionally perpetuated by those who embody the worst aspects of human nature. Those who prostrate themselves at the alters of greed and power. Those whose actions are driving our whole species to destruction. The plots and gears of this system were well in motion before any of us were born, and the window to stop it before is destroys us all has passed. The system is biological life’s self-destructive nature made manifest.
In the end we are naught but mere animals. Like all other animals in a system where there are no natural predators and they are allowed propagate unrestrained, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of our ecosystem. We are just deer without hunters on a global scale. Cursed to be clever enough to realize we have brought about our own destruction, but not clever enough to stop it.
A Cosmic Doom has come for us all. The universe will go on without us.
I had mixed feelings about the first season. I’m more of a West Coast Fallout Fan then an East Coast Fan, so while I can acknowledge the show is well produced and entertaining, I cant help but be irritated by the direction its taking the franchise. I’m interested but cautious of season 2, especially since its content will now align closer to my favorite game in the series. I’m also doubtful of the long term success of any show from the creators of Westworld. I’ve been burned before.
