They eventually shut the storyline down, but he spent way too long refusing to accept Dax wasn't into him

Not Dax. One of the genetically modified freaks Starfleet sent to them to try and win the war.

There's a multiple episode arc where he tries to cure, and date, the mute one.

Oh yes, I know about that one, but he also spent like Season 1 or 2 hitting on Dax long after she told him it ain't happening

For sure, his cringe attempts at hooking up with Dax were pretty much his character for the first couple of seasons.

Just be thankful she never gave into him, and in fact went and found a totally 100% different type of guy and wooed him all on her own. Basically the best possible outcome given the era and the type of nerd who watched and wrote that show.

"You didn't want to be alone, Julian. There's nothing wrong with that." says Obrien the most miserable man in starfleet. Yet he's also the only one who has had a marriage that survived more than one series, let alone season.

I watched the new Ape movie today and I liked it. Noa isn't as interesting as Caesar for a protagonist since he hasn't had three films and Andy Serkis playing him, but he is likeable and a decent lead. The orangutan librarian was the best character. Dawn is still my favourite one of these films but Kingdom is definitely worth watching. I'm impressed thst they've managed to keep making consistently good films and I haven't been disappointed yet.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
I have zero desire to watch the new Ape movie. The last trilogy was good. It was an interesting way of re-doing the old Apes movies without doing the same exact stuff. It had some good performances. It had a satisfying conclusion. The new one just seems more of the same, which I don't need.

I actually was surprised at how different this one felt. It was a neat middle ground between the weirdness of the original films and the more grounded newer movies. But tonally this one felt more like a journey/adventure movie than the Caesar films.

My problem with this one is that it felt like the apes had regressed. It was a decent movie overall though.

I felt that was the point. It's heen so long and the Apes are so widespread that they're developing independent cultures and straying further from Caesar's message, to the point that some don't even remember, or refuse to remember, their own history.

Real talk, saw the movie, quite like the new Apes movies. Thought the world building was interesting but I wanted to see more of the whole titular Kingdom and Proxima Caesar. I almost feel like the second half could have been spun out into its own movie?

Spoilers: I don't really know what exactly they are setting up for the next one but I better see a proper Ape empire take over the world and not have these drat humans come back again. Give the apes guns again!

Movie 1: James Franco tries to cure John Lithgow's alzheimers using animal testing on Apes. Little baby Ape Caesar is a primary source for the medicine and gets smarter as he grows older and lives outside of the lab with Franco. But then the experiments backfire and Caesar is put in Draco Malfoy's Ape enclosure, so he breaks free using the alzheimers cure drug to make the other apes smart and they escape into the forest.

Movie 2: turns out the alzheimers drug also kills off 90% of humanity. Apes living in a happy forest society but then they discover humans have moved back into San Francisco and Gary Oldman wants to kill them. One of Caesar's Apes, Koba, was abused in the lab and he sabotages peace efforts by shooting Caesar and blaming the humans, so the Apes steal assault rifles and attack the humans before Caesar kills Koba and stops the attack. War breaks out between Ape and human.

Movie 3. Humans are at war with the Apes. Woody Harrelson kills Caesar's family so Caesar goes off to avenge them but his whole tribe is captured and forced to build a wall because Woody Harrelson went rogue from the army. Surviving humans are losing the ability to speak and are getting dumber from the virus so he wants to kill all the Apes and defend against other humans before it's too late. Apes pull a Great Escape and flee inland, with Caesar dying of his wounds but leaving the Ape society free from human oppression.
