Re: Strange New Worlds

Autism is a spectrum that is comprised of many different things - not all of them bad and sometimes it is even advantageous. Your view of autism is simplistic and offensive. Read up on it. I have. I'm aware it can have certain benefits, but it's a net negative. I'm neuroatypical but my opinion is t...

Re: Strange New Worlds

That's because autism isn't a disease. There is nothing to cure. And as for Friends With Benefits, don't you think that it is actually incredibly likely the more we move away from traditional relationships and marriage in real life that we will have a free love future? In fact with Starfleet's medi...

Re: Strange New Worlds

Some people complain about Discovery demonstrating the Trekverse hasn't cured autism or that newer Trek movies and series show same-sex couples.

I'm more disappointed that SNW shows the Trekverse still has FWBs relationships and hazing.

Re: Them!

I find it rather rude, and uncomfortably over-familiar, if a complete stranger tries to call me by my first name in a non-social situation. I have always found it uncomfortably over-familiar if a waitress calls me sugar, honey, darlin', sweetheart, love, or any similiar pet name. It seems all too c...

Re: Them!

Say what you like about Boomers but they dressed so smartly compared to people today. Hats, suits, nice dresses, even their uniforms were smarter. If I could bring anything back from the past it would be this. I despise a lot of modern fashion (pre-destroyed jeans, I'm glaring at you) but I've spen...

Re: Them!

This movie seems a bit simplistic, but also ahead of its time.

Re: Film: Serenity

I liked this movie. Then I went back and binge-watched the show afterwards on DVD I enjoyed it too.

While I really enjoy Mal as a character, I much prefer the Operative's philosophy.

Re: Russell Howard: There Is NO Culture War

There were whole books written about a "culture war" back in the 1990s when I was a kid. How long there has been a "culture war" (or wars, some perhaps simultaneously), at bare minimum there has been a culture war since the 1960s when hippies and feminists started pushing back against cultural conse...

Re: Strange New Worlds: Children of the Comet

I have difficulty getting over Ortegas' hairstyle in this show. It's not because she's a woman. I saw the same hairstyle on the guy bagging my groceries last week and didn't hate it any less then. It's the bastard child of a mullet and a mohawk.
