How Star Trek's Future Works

Post by BridgeConsoleMasher »

By Rowan Coleman. I've checked out his videos here and there, and mostly found stuff bounded by what we've covered in the forum or I've personally postulated for the most part.

This is a good video that gets a good grip on a common but somewhat nebulous topic. Cheers.

Wait Critical Drinker and Rowan are the same person?

I mean Rowan's Retrospectives on various shows is great. Perhaps not as detailed as Trigilithium Studios or whatever they call themselves (Back Trek), but an excellent watch or listen.
I got nothing to say here.

Ewww, critical drinker.
Science Fiction is a genre where anything can happen. Just make sure what happens is enjoyable for yourself and your audience.

He does real videos? I only know him as "this movie/show/game I haven't watched/played is woke" guy #774.

Are you sure that this is the same guy as Drinker? It really does not sound like him at all. ''Rowan'' seems far more balanced in his opinions to the point that I just dropped a sub based on this video alone.

If this is indeed Drinker then that is one heck of a grift that he is pulling over on the ''Everything is Woke'' channel to go from that to this.

Pretty much all the "Go woke, go broke"-channels are grifters, with the few serious lunatics sprinkled in between. Far too many of them started off as moderate, only to Go down the deep end, along with their audience's increasing radicalization. The pipeline "relies" on a wide audience and you don't get that with the lunatics.

Oh wow I seriously thought I had verified in the past that they were the same person. Sorry everybody. Editing op.

Yeah for the most part I wasn't really learning much from the retrospectives from what I had selected to watch, and I also just thought it was kind of a more sober channel of Drinker's. But yeah, I'm fairly certain I was critically mistaken in coining them the same person.

I mean really though, the juxtaposition of characterization isn't completely unfounded tbh.

I think I caught a video or two where Critical Drinker didn't have his trademark drunk speech and I remembered him not sounds anyejere like Rowan. You had me second guessing if I remembered right.
