Finished Devs. There was an ending where I was like  , but then it kept going and going and got more and more  It’s not a horrible ending and overall I’d say it’s worth watching, but I kind of feel like a better ending would be she throws the gun away, they cross over without incident, she walks away having proven their entire Thing is bullshit, Forrest is just left gibbering and crying because everything he’s worked towards just got upended like it was nothing because it was.

Fury Toad is the is the Hell Comes to Frog Town sequel that we deserve. However I don’t know who could ever replace Rowdy Roddy.

I get what Mike is saying about how Star Trek used to be about hyper-competent professionals solving space problems. But today, hyper-competent professionals are also quippy, and it's a failure of Mike to keep up. No wonder Shatner thinks he's a dumb boomer.

Strange new worlds isn’t perfect but it feels written by people who basically understand and don’t despise Star Trek so I think Mike bailed a bit early

I watched about half of Skinamarink tonight and just got too anxious, so put on The Menu instead. It's quite the ride and darkly funny. I had an idea what would happen but it went in directions I was not expecting, lol.

has Mike talked about the Orville? I enjoyed all 3 seasons of that a lot so I'd be curious to see his take on it. Would also love to see him talk about Red Dwarf but that's very bri'ish so I doubt that'll happen

Collapsing Farts posted:The Orville was mediocre at best People would have hated the Orville if it were a Trek show or if Discovery hadn't existed. The crazy thing is that Orville REALLY almost has the feel of one of those 70s/90s live-action Saturday morning fantasy/adventure/SF series. If the Saturday Morning Cartoon line-up format still existed, a slight retooling of the show would have been made it great for a single season that flopped but then 20 years later people would insist was really awesome.

I lost sleep after Hereditary and had a hard time getting through House of Leaves. It’s not that I don’t get creeped out, this movie just didn’t work for me, at all.

Mike and Rich talked about The Orville's first season on a Re:View episode, doing a comparison to one of the recent Star Trek shows IIRC. I think Mike was ambivalent towards it, whereas Rich loved it because it hit all his TNG nostalgia buttons.

My guess is that Starfleet tries to hide the fact that's it's not a 'military' organization the same way that Walmart's not a 'grocery store' despite selling groceries. It's possible that in Gene's 80s vision of Trek Starfleet that being an all-in-one agency excuses it from being considered 'military', especially if showrunners want to use every alien species they run up with as having their own military set up more independently of other related agencies. Bad example, but it'd be like the Americorps, Peace Corps, Salvation Army, and KISS Army members and ranks could instantly be part of Air Force or Navy duty.

Mike's just sick of modern Star Trek and doesn't want to watch more of it. There's not much more to it than that. People who wanted to watch more than 1 episode can still watch and like it.
