The problem is that in Discoursery you either need to side with NJR or the people who willingly work(ed) for NJR and both of those are pretty lol Anyway all I want is to do hydroponics. Send me my plant food and keep the taps working and I'll give you oranges in winter and GMO potatoes for days

I watch a lot of bad prestige TV with my girlfriend who will stick it out through the worst of show's excesses to see if it pays off (I've seen four terrible seasons of the Handmaid's Tale for this reason) and but Westworld S2 was so bad she just flat gave up and never even considered watching it again. Anthony Hopkins is real good though

westworld was a terrible show from the start, it just deceived people with its fantastic acting and production values the wheels really come off in season 2 but thats only because season 1 was nothing but spinning them

some plague rats posted:better call saul is good though were into a very specific form of idealist dogma which took increasing amounts of space in the show, culminating with the intersectional gang of minorities including Our Main Hero, an actual war criminal but special due to his Old White blood, sealing white people off from sorcery forever it started totally losing the plot halfway through. it felt like the writers got carried away and weren't really able to deal with the mysterious implications they used to make the show compelling. also the lovecraft stuff with anxieties and fell eternity never panned out, it ended up being a straight modern-fantasy series

it's the sort of thing you get if you try to make a serious ideological standpoint out of half-understood twitter threads but refuse to open a single book or even to talk to someone who might be critical about it. it was utterly bizarre.

i'm mostly mad in that i actually really liked the first episode (despite the sorkin-tier liberalness) because I actually like premises of weird occultian-magic poo poo set between victorian to ww2 ea; and some of the period-piece sets/cgi they did was quite good, actors were generally enjoyable, and then it just completely hosed it up writing-wise

yeah somehow the book anthology written by a goony white guy where a kid invents table top fantasy roleplaying in the 1950s and a black woman shapeshifts into a white woman to become successful at business got stupid in translation the nerd thing is great because protagonists and his supporting characters in the book are seemingly all conversant in the language of science fiction

yeah i started getting serious reservations when they put a whole side-plot about the massacre of a native tribe which wasn't really connected to much of anything else in a flooded basement for no obvious reason and i lost all faith when they decided that it was a good idea to give their hero a Gritty Past by making him commit actual war crimes

Who decided that should be a serious plot point god drat In some theoretical world, there exists a different show in which only white people can use magic, and despite their magic, they constantly complain about how minorities don't find life as easy as they do, and any attempt to give minorities magic is met with scorn and derision, and the whole thing is a metaphor for privilege and inherited wealth, but anyone hearing "Whites Only Magic" would declare the show racist on sight and rework it into a magic Wakanda thing where all the minorities have magic powers and just happen to not use them to fight their oppression because then they would be as bad as the non-magic whites or some "both sides" type BS
