bashir's romantic pursuits (outside of garak) is a catastrophic collision of geordi's social skills and Riker's confidence

Aglet56 posted:don't forget the episode where bashir meets a paraplegic woman, hangs out with her in a room with the artificial gravity turned off so she can feel "normal" for a moment, tries to pressure her into fixing her legs, and also tries to bang her To be honest it always angers me when sci-fi/fantasy stories do disability metaphors in settings where said disability is easily curable thanks to wizards or nanobots or whatever, but the character refuses to fix it . I understand that the writers are trying to tell the audience that you shouldn't be ashamed or feel lesser because you're deaf or whatever. But as someone with a condition that made me disabled until the miracle of modern surgery allowed me to function normally, I can confidently say gently caress you to anyone who says it's somehow a sign of inner strength or self-confidence to remain disabled out of some kind of spiteful pride. If you're doing a disability episode don't make it something that is curable. It's quite frankly insulting.

The Melora episode does a better job because the point is that she isn't disabled, but she's evolved to function in a very different environment. Is interesting that they point out that the station is not designed to be wheelchair accessible, compared to most Starfleet ships and stations. Bashir really needs to stop trying to bang his patients.

You can say she's from a low gravity planet all you want, but the writers intent was very clear. She's a person in a wheelchair who could easily remedy the situation. It wouldn't even take much to make the episode acceptable. Just change it to something where her species just can't walk for some reason and they can't fix it. Bam, now the episode gets across the don't look down on the disabled message without making it seem like everyone with a condition is in some kind of counter-culture cult. And also that Bashir really needs to stop trying to bang his patients.

maybe it hits different for people enthralled by 50s hollywood, but i watched hail, caesar and it left me pretty cold. lol at the main character's primary dilemma being remaining in his job as a studio fixer or helping lockheed drop bombs. i did genuinely laugh at "no dames", though

Literally the only place I have seen anyone not find baby Yoda eating the eggs a hilarious bit of dark comedy is click-bait articles with suspiciously samey headlines. This is 100% manufactured by Disney.

Immortal Hulk is one of the greatest comics ever made, and certainly the best thing Marvel has ever published. Both the story and the art are great at capturing that 21st century nihilistic outlook in a way every other comic is afraid to

Im jöst going to spoiler this just in case I did like the Space cops showing up, letting him know they weren't going to arrest him and leaving him stranded when he was in need of help. So least because of genre conventions it knows you can't have cops be actually useful KomradeX has issued a correction as of 23:23 on Nov 12, 2020 |
