Re: Crazy Ads, and What's Going On Now

This sort of thing is still probably not going to be permanently solvable until it becomes viable to directly host videos on your own website, but that still years away unfortunately.

Re: I ain't afraid of no ghost week.

Before he switched out the schedule it said that the Star Trek episode was gonna be TNG's 11001001. I'm putting money down that the joke is gonna be "an actually good (or at least decent) season one episode OOOOOO SPOOOOKYYYYY"

Re: DIS - Through the Valley of the Shadow

In the end though this is about Star Trek. It's near-post-scarcity at least so far as domestic Earth life and many colonies are concerned. Even if there was a contingent of earthlings who are (able-bodied) shiftless layabouts, there's little reason to not just allow that, too, because there's just p...

Re: DIS - Through the Valley of the Shadow

When it comes to ultra-future tech in sci-fi, it feels like there's an intractable push-and-pull on the sides of disability: EITHER the technology is good enough to fix any given issue that might be construed as a disability (and therefore leaves disability representation off the table because the s...

Re: DIS - Through the Valley of the Shadow

Oof, careful Chuck, even insinuating that having a disability might be less than ideal for some people is tantamount to calling for a eugenic cleansing. Doesn't matter how much you support disability aid, social programs, medicine, representation in the arts, know that people who are disabled can be...

Re: The Lost World: Jurassic Park

I have absolutely no issue with expressing vitriol toward this film. I know "angry reviewer" has been reviled since at least 2015 when it started to become passe, but I've always been of the opinion that there's nothing wrong with vitriolic reviews PER SE... just that it kept being applied to media ...

Re: 2020 Star Trek Restoration

Was there a particular reason that TNG "The Mind's Eye" is a Youtube version? Which also doesn't have the stinger

Re: Equestria Girls - Valentines Day

I find it funny that this was in some pearl-clutching circles considered a semi-official acceptance of the porn, as if people needed to humanize the ponies in order to make porn of them.

Re: The Walking Dead - Days Gone Bye

I honestly can't get into any show that can't bring itself to even pay lip service to having a resolution. If there's no ultimate destination, then what's the point of going there? Yes yes, I know, "the journey", but I'd much rather have a journey that didn't drag itself out until it just gets stupi...
