Re: AOC says democrats can win on queer issues "if they throw a damn punch"

If AOC was hated enough she would have been voted out of office, except she wasn't. In fact many who voted for Trump actually voted for her as well, which bewildered her. When she asked why they voted for both her and Trump the answers seemed to be generally about how she seemed more authentic than ...

Re: AOC says democrats can win on queer issues "if they throw a damn punch"

Yeah but that means, like, actually acknowledging the progressive wing of the party and doing something useful and challenging the status quo. All of which they hate. They'd rather lose as moderates than win as progressives. The Democratic Party just wants to be the GOP, just a little less racist a...

Re: Coming of Age

Gene's vision of the 24th century is such a wonderful cokehead dream. Not only is it apparently super difficult for getting entry into Starfleet Academy, but there are also 11 year olds that take calculus.

Re: Gunman at large after UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot in ‘brazen targeted attack,’ police say

I'm honestly surprised and disappointed with how the Daily Show treated Luigi. Even if they were going to condemn the shooting, I thought those people of anyone would at least remember to use the word "alleged" when talking about him. It's a healthy reminder that corporate media is fully aligned wi...

Re: Lower Decks season 5

Also, the only reason SECTION 31 is happening in any capacity is because Michelle Yeoh kept pushing for it. I think CBS had been struggling for awhile to figure out what it should be like as a series or mini-series. Then when Yeoh finally won an Oscar and became much more in demand, that just made i...

Re: Star Trek after 8 years of disappointment and why I'm moving on

When the first season of LOWER DECKS was first streaming, I didn't give it a shot. It didn't look like the kind of show I wanted out of Trek, so I just ignored it. However, as each episode dropped, I noticed buzz around it getting bigger and bigger. By the time the finale dropped, I was getting reco...

Re: Lower Decks season 5

I don’t really ever think of these shows in terms of screen time. I never watch an LDS and think “oh man if only these were 20 mins longer like the live action shows”. I never watch TNG and think I’m being robbed of an extra 5 mins of footage just because TOS used to run 50 mins per episodes. Same d...

Re: Remaining Star Trek Episodes (TOS-SNW)

Somehow I completely missed that he covered STAR TREK BEYOND.

I remember eagerly waiting for him to finally do that, and apparently he already covered that four years ago.

Re: Lower Decks season 5

If the finale is as good as the penultimate episode, it's probably best that LDS ends on a high note and fans can forever talk about how we were robbed of two more seasons that were just as good. Maybe they would have been, but then again maybe the show would have started to run out of steam and lim...
