The Star Trek episode "Wolf in the Fold" introduces the existence of the psycho-tricorder, a device that can scan your mind to reveal all your memories from the last 24 hours. The first person we see operating it gets stabbed to death by literally Jack the Ripper before she can finish the scan.

And now every time he gets a coat he hasn't worn since last winter out of the closet, poor Scotty finds a slice of his crush's uterus in the pocket along with the occasional surprise fiver that no cashier will accept because it's completely stained with blood

Trast posted:The BSG writers had no clue what was going on in the show so there is no point trying to figure out any of its deep meanings. This! Trying to find deeper meaning in BSG is like coming up with a purpose for every one of the buttons in the Millennium Falcon. Even thinking for more than a minute means that you have officially put more effort into it than anyone involved in its creation.

Remember all those posters who whined that anyone who didn't like BSG's bad, incoherent ending was a smug atheist who hated to think? Writers can try whatever weird genre shifting crap they want, but if it sucks there's no need to give them a pass.

lmfao started watching TNG's Starship Mine for the first time in forever, holy poo poo i forgot all about Data's smalltalk subplot, that scene with him in the background creepin' on that irritating dude talking to Riker, hoping to score some tips on how to improve his smalltalk lol those lil impersonations of his mannerisms were loving unreal. when he gets to chat up the dude himself after Riker dumps him on Data to escape from him, and Data's doing an impression of the guy right to his face but hes too self absorbed to notice so they both just keep laughing totally in sync hahaha Spiner owns and every chance he gets to chew scenery is a highlight of the show heck, even Descent owns. because at least Lore is so fuckin broken and goofy that it's a pleasure to watch even if the plot is weak and the Borg get snipped with the Bob Barker treatment

Bsg is alright and its problem isn't its monotheistic spiritual identity. It's just bad writing like awakening your final 5 by playing Jimi Hendrix is something that shouldn't have moved past a weed fuelled first draft but here we are. The ending is bad as hell

I love how the chatty guy they don't like is straight up murdered in front of them all, his corpse left to sit on the floor, and no one mentions him or his death for the entire rest of the episode. Did they really hate him THAT much?

Did they really hate him THAT much? yeah only Data acknowledges it, but it's in the background and you can easily miss it - Will and Deanna are speaking together very hushed and serious, while far in the background and nearly off screen Data gets down on the ground and sprawls himself out and goes all ragdoll, tongue lolling out of his mouth and everything, continuing to imitate his smalltalk roll model

It's kind of like that Genesis cave scene in Wrath of Khan. After all her coworkers get murdered horribly, one getting vaporized just moments before, Dr Marcus has a conversation with Kirk about their relationship problems like that's the most important thing in the world.

He said he was working his rear end off to get people to believe they were in space and didn't need someone reporting the weather in Klingon or making Spock gestures to ruin it all. Actors are weird man. Also I prefer to believe Ironsides said that while drinking whisky.

also it was big lols when Ellen came back in the fourth season, now aware of her past life that Cavil had erased from her memory, but the dumbshit writers couldn't figure out how to write her as anything but a conniving screech monster so we just got more dumb drama scenes of her shouting at Tigh for basically no reason at all

The last time I went through BSG I just skipped any scene involving the cylons by themselves. Especially when Baltar was with them. The show was way better. I think you could cut 8 or so episodes worth of content out by eliminating Baltar getting hosed and philosophizing. None of it actually matters and getting rid of it leaves the Cylons' motivations a little more mysterious since every decision isn't backed up by hours of boring dumb bullshit that went nowhere. You don't need to spend hours watching Baltar have drama with Six only to become friendly with and try to manipulate Three and blahblahblah final five blahblahblah hybrid blahblahblah. Instead they just show up at the Algae planet and everyone is surprised along with the colonials and you get to discover the dumb bullshit the cylons are doing instead of swimming in a sea of it. It also makes the religious ending better. It's still stupid and terrible but if you cut out all of that retarded cylon pontificating the ending is no longer the tail end of a 8-10 hour long wet fart so you suffer through less pointless, boring buildup to nothing and just sort of get nothing.
