i listened to the first 5 eps of welcome to nightvale and they were ok. a year later I went to a live show thinking it would be a neat little mood piece but nope. it was an interenet fandom love fest filled with cosplayers and most of the script was designed to give them an opportunity to woo at the stage or give a standing ovation

anyway I'm reading The Dying Earth by Jack Nance. it's pretty cool. i knew nance influenced d&d but didn't know it went as far as lifting actual spell names like "Prismatic Spray". I like how it feels closer to a bunch of fairy stories than an epic political serial, too

r/daystrominstitute every other post is "what if the ds9 crew had been present instead of the regular crew in (every single event in star trek)" and the reply is always "sisko would have got it done faster but killed people and broke the law in the process because the only ds9 episode i remember is In The Pale Moonlight"

star trek isn't great by most standards, at best they managed to accidentally do a few interesting things but the one thing that is 100% terrible all of the time is star trek fan fiction

infernal machines posted:star trek isn't great by most standards, at best they managed to accidentally do a few interesting things i'd say that about 70% of official canonical star trek is eye-rollingly terrible, and another 25% is only mediocre. 5% is good to great, but it isn't worth it
