Just watched the VOY season 7 episode "Repentance" where writers set up allegories for the immorality of the death penalty and racial profiling in the justice system. Zero shots of Neelix's feet while he dances. Zero out of four stars.

Kitchner posted:EDIT: Also for everyone saying Star Trek would be full of weed brownie replicators, I forgot Chakotay's american indian bundle of trinkets includes some sort of tech gizmo to "replace" the psychoactive drugs his ancestors used. You can't even get stoned to see your animal guide anymore. Chakotay was secretly using the airponics bay to grow Jimson Weed. A-koo-chee-moya.

New JJ Trek movie opens up to some super big ship coming through the wormhole. Ship uses red matter to destroy Bajor. Ship goes back through wormhole. Roll credits.

Facebook Aunt posted:The bridge only has one button because the bridge doesn't control the spore drive. The nipple clamp guy controls the spore drive. That button just turns on the nipple clamps. There was an episode of TOS which showed that when a helmsman presses a button to fire the phasers that all the button actually does is send the command down to the phaser control area of engineering where crewmembers down there actually do all the poo poo to make the phasers go 'pew pew'. We find this out because there is a coolant leak in the phaser control room and the engineer in that room succumbs to the gas and is knocked out. Sulu presses the button and nothing happens, so they call Lt. Scott and have him check out what the gently caress is going on. So the button saying "Spore Drive" makes sense in that context.

Captain, can't we go any faster? I greatly fear we shan't be in Qo'nos by noonfall. No worries, madam. Stamets, shovel on more dogs into the spore drive, won't you? Aye, aye. More dogs! More dogs! In you go!

There's a joke to be set up here somewhere with the Englishman, Irishman and Frenchman or something in space. Maybe the Star Trek version is a Vulcan, a Klingon and a Ferengi.

i'm not asking for it to actually be any good, of course. that would be silly. dune buggy-related hijinks are much more likely.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:It's a gif! You shouldn't be hearing anything! I've seen poo poo, man. Phaser fire ripping through the hull and rupturing the primary coolant loop. Pulsar cannons burning down Mazone battleships. TIE fighters dashed against the hull of a Mon Calamari star cruiser. I'm never not hearing anything.  (Seeing the pew-pew in the gif reminded me of how the sound effects in that battle were crappy.)

Blistex posted:Gonna be a pretty big self-own if he wins. They're either going to have to pay out big time or pretty much pull the whole first season and pay him. Guy has zero chance of winning. The lawyers he has are inept and his arguments are without merit. By his own words he started the lawsuit because they weren't treating him seriously. I tried every possible way to have a respectful and reasonable discussion with CBS but they treated me in disrespect and just dangled me around with postponing meetings due to their vacations and being busy. … I gave them a lot of time to make things right. Unfortunately, I found myself at a dead end with them, and so I had to enforce my rights by filing a lawsuit to treat me seriously. Axanar-monitor (which covered the legal proceedings of the grifter project Axanar) has a good introduction here. You can find their entire coverage here.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:My nephew hates him for apparently saying some really stupid things about autism I don't pretend I've read loads about this but I've read an article with the quote and 2 angry open letters. I have to say, they've construed it very differently in those letters than I read it. This is the quote by the way quote:“I don’t think he was on the spectrum... I think a lot of people are very lazy with that. I think it’s a really dangerous thing to toy with that. People talk about me doing that quite a lot and that being a good thing for people who are on the spectrum, which is great. But I don’t go into a job going, ‘Is this autism? Is this Asperger’s? Is this some other form of slight learning difficulty or disability?’ I’m very wary of that, because I’ve met people with those conditions. It’s a real struggle all the time. Then these people pop up in my work and they’re sort of brilliant, and they on some levels almost offer false hope for the people who are going through the reality of it.” I can sort of see how someone expecting to be told something hurtful could be hurt by that. But to me it's much more akin to what I heard from a mental health campaigner in an interview, well over 10 years ago now. In response to being asked whether big masculine heroes like Churchill being shown and accepted as vulnerable to mental health issues like depression was helpful to those suffering, the campaigner said (I'll paraphrase): quote:It can be helpful to the general public, because they're seeing someone who they've appreciated and lauded for other reasons, and they never ringfenced them in their mind as "depressive" when they learned about these accomplishments. So it's helpful in that way, so people might not pre-judge as much. So yeah that's how I read Bonnemot Cableditch's statement: that it's a skewed view if you just say all his characters* are autistic then hold it against those with autism when they have their own difficulties. E to clarify: *characters who are by definition, exceptions to the norm, fictional or real, because they're film protagonists and all protagonists are either exceptional or live exceptional lives simplefish fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Jan 9, 2019 |
