cheetah7071 posted:This is mostly right, but to anyone inspired by this post to watch it, skip season one. I guess it hasn't technically aged poorly because it just always sucked. Seasons 3-6 rule though and 2 and 7 mostly rule. Do you lose any plot points by skipping the season?

Fulchrum posted:Do you lose any plot points by skipping the season? You should probably watch Encounter at Far Point despite its terrible badness because Q is in it and Q is important to the continuing plot. The rest of season one is totally optional. Edit: the sentence "Q is important to the continuing plot" has acquired a whole different meaning in the modern political climate.

Deep Space Nine also holds up incredibly well. EDIT: So do seasons 2-4 of Babylon 5.

Mr Interweb posted:Which one was the one everyone hated? Was that DS9? Different Trek nerds hate different Trek's for different reasons. DS9 was kind of hated at the time for portraying a war (deemed by some to be anti-thetical to Gene's vision, especially since the Federation ostensibly starts it), a Federation with a lot more warts than Next Gen ever showed, and a generally more flawed and morally grey crew. Those people are dumb, it's the perfect companion piece to TNG, to me neither feels complete without the other. Probably the most universally hated was Enterprise seasons 1-2, at least until Into Darkness came along. Some Trek nerds now think Discovery is the worst, but w/e, it owns.

Meatball posted:Also I started listening to the dollop. I heard the one on Levittown. Was really good. Any recommendations? They have a *lot* of podcasts there so it might be tough picking out good ones. I've definitely got the two part trump series to listen to. Without hesitation, Episode #31: Jack Parson. I've been listening to The Dollop for years now, and this is always the first one I recommend I know that at the surface, the creation of JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratories) doesn't sound interesting, and I'm just a guy on an internet forum, but trust me. Just trust me on this one. There's a cameo in the story about halfway through that will make your jaw drop, and the last three minutes will make you walk around with a blank gaze just mumbling "what the gently caress" to yourself. The rest of it is pants-on-head crazy, too. http://thedollop.libsyn.com/jack-parson

theflyingorc posted:that's most places Eastern Washington/Idaho/parts of Eastern Oregon and all the way out to Montana somewhat have more white nationalist militia poo poo than anywhere else in the country. Washington is different from the others mentioned because even Eastern Washington is pretty populous. Eastern Oregon extremism is moderated a bit by all the hippies who moved out there in the 60s and 70s who, with their kids, make up a significant portion of the local populations. Before they defunded it the Eastern Washington/Idaho area had a wildly disproportionate FBI presence because it was so bad

The Star Trek general threads in GBS and TVIV are pretty good. (and have a lot of poster overlap)cheetah7071 posted:I wonder if on conservative websites people complain that their R+20 states are just a conservative veneer on a liberal government. I feel like I've heard people say some variant of that post about basically every blue state. They absolutely do, entirely because it's the media class's interest for them to believe it so, to keep them angry and scared.

pumpinglemma posted:Giving their claim any epistemic weight at all rather than instantly dismissing it when you see the sources are all alt-right nuts. These people don’t argue in good faith, they throw out a hundred lies and hope one or two get through since it takes time and effort to debunk each one. The trick is, every time you look into one and it turns out to be obvious racist bullshit, make sure you reinforce your belief that it’s all bullshit, and that anything real would have mainstream sources as well. Eventually you’ll stop feeling the need to check. OK, thank you. I learned something today.

Knowing google it’ll probably be an autocomplete option on search for her soon.
