There was a chance we'd make it through this. It's safe to say now that we missed it. And I will never lose hope- and I haven't lost hope- I'm just realistic.
A sneaky entrant in the "finale so bad it killed the cultural reputation of the show" collection along with Thrones, HIMYM, Killing Eve etc. Hader got so obsessed with the "you aren't supposed to think this guy is cool!" antihero discourse he lit his own show on fire instead.
Ever since I learned where they got this shot, and I think about Shatner's acting, I can't erase from my mind Kirk looking at Sisko and thinking "damn what a piece of ass"
I often think of the ending of GREEN ROOM, in which a lefty punk whispers "This is a nightmare..." & Patrick Stewart's right-wing Nazi sorrowfully mutters back, "...for us all," as the defining scene of Our Time—that the only thing we can agree on is that this is all so untenable
throwback to the time I took hours out of my day to decipher the rural juror finale song and make this karaoke-style lyric video and then never posted it bc it was strictly for my own personal enjoyment (until now bc I'm philanthropic like that)
No one discusses the sailor moon influence when talking ab Eva which is crazy bc anno worked on it like right b4! Misato is an alternate usagi, shinji/rei/asuka parallel usagi/ami/rei, kaworu is inspired off ikuhara, black vs white moon, yui’s “death” scene copies hotaru’s, etc
@C601kraken@archaicf0ssil It can be fun if you enjoy brutally difficult strategy games. All the what-if scenarios where familIiar episode plots can play out differently are neat. It just feels a little underdeveloped.
@VK_HM I always recommend casual Star Wars fans check out TCW, just because it's one of the most tonally bizarre shows I've ever seen. It's ambitiously dark and violent but stubbornly childish and simplistic about it. The comedy episodes are unwatchable.
@daxolesa98@VK_HM I like some individual arcs. I admire Feloni's ascended fanboy impulse to breathe life into more underdeveloped prequel elements, like turning Maul into a compellingly tragic character instead of a mostly mute midboss.
@TruthScarier@spaceinquiries@VK_HM I thought it was perfectly conveyed in RotS when Obi-Wan and Cody are all buddy-buddy on Utapau moments before Cody gets the command and shoots him down. He doesn't snap into a daze or anything, because he doesn't have to. It's just orders.
@DDayFilms@GrahamC47 I will never get over how much of a tasteless lunkhead Stewart is in real life in contrast to his refined Shakespearean image. Even at 80, when given an inch of creative control, he insisted on playing the action hero instead of honoring the spirit of the character.
@GrahamC47 One of the big Trek meme YouTube channels just posted one of those videos where it's scenes from Insurrection dubbed in a foreign language with fake subtitles, and the only reason it works is because the film is so unmemorable that no one would recognize the actual dialogue.
@HandsAndStars This event has been wild. The only entry so far with major revelations about the Fugitive Doctor is a novel written by the actor. That's probably the format fans are least likely to interact with aside from the mobile game. Thank goodness it's available internationally on Kindle.
The fact this "free" online story literally has its second half locked behind the Vlinx giving you a quiz about plot elements of 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘥 stories, and you need to get all his questions right to keep reading, is **WILD** and I can't not respect the audacity of it.
