I find YouTube gets hung up on specific episodes of channels it knows you like. It's been trying to push the same episode of Closer to Truth on me for like 5 months now.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
I took a peek at the Star Trek thread in TVIV and they were raving about the latest episode of Star Trek Prodigy. From their description it was a bunch of 'remember this' poo poo, so I had to check it out of curiosity.

It was insultingly bad. The episodes A plot is the captain kid takes the Kobayashi Maru test. The simulation puts him on the bridge of the Enterprise-D (or at least another Galaxy class ship), for the crew, the simulation has him pick characters from the database. He picks Crusher, Uhura, Scotty, Spock, and...Odo?

Why Odo I have no clue because he has zero starship combat knowledge.

Anyway, the insulting part is that aside from Crusher, they just recycled audio clips from those characters. I guess McFadden did the voice work. But the others is just awful because they're saying all these lines that you heard in different episodes in a totally different context. It's almost as bad as Tarkin-ing someone.


I shouldn't be surprised that the Trek thread would be into a kids show, but holy gently caress that was awful.

Hey everyone! We've been spending the first week of January doing a lot of much needed behind the scenes housekeeping and just general recharging. But pretty soon we'll be doing our yearly catch-up/re-cap episode of Half in the Bag. A lot of movies but also a lot of TV stuff this time. We're planning to do a back-to-basics normal three movie Best of the Worst later this month as well, and we've also been working here and there on a couple other long-term projects we'll hopefully have more info on later in the year. Happy new year!

TVIV is something... I've been following the Wheel of Time thread and there's a dude who's been doggedly defending the honor of the show against all comers even before any episodes dropped. Just pages and pages of "nuh-uh, it's good" basically. Some major tying up of identity with a media property, unlike me and my friend Rich Evans.

There's posters and threads like that all over SA. You can literally get run out of threads for posting negative opinions on the topic.

I figure if they stop doing a certain show it's because they just aren't into it. I could be wrong but I don't think they really care about views and all that Youtube poo poo.

Going to the Kobayashi Maru well again is pretty sad. Constant references only worked in that one episode of lower decks where they mocked all the movies. I've been a hate watcher of new star trek from the beginning, but I just can't bring myself to watch any of the new discovery anyway. I think the season is half way over and the prospect of watching 7+ episodes in a row of it makes me want to die. Prodigy is a straight up kids show so it never held any relevance to me.

The Kobayashi Maru is apparently the only test Starfleet Academy gives its cadets. The main takeaway from 3 years of training is "You'll probably die out there with no chance of escape."

I remember Jack talking about how frustrating those were to watch because the footage never matched what Rich was talking about since Jay and Mike, who edited them, have no interest or understanding of video games at all.

Disco season 4 won’t make you want to die but it will make you want to fall asleep and never wake up, subtle difference but I’ll call it an improvement
