    Star Trek: Picard

    Wait, so that supernova was traveling to Romulus for five hundred years and it still snuck up on them? An exploding star doesn't explode faster than the speed of light so 500 light years is minimum 500 years of travel time. Maybe they all deserved to die.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Bert Kreischner's book Life of the Party is funny as fuck and he does the reading for the audiobook. One of the stories is I think him dressing up as a member of KISS to perform at a grade school talent show when he's like 10 and rocking out while the music played? I don't remember exactly but...

    Doctor Sleep (2019)

    Just saw it and it exceeded expectations. I by far prefer the last act of this to the last act of the book. The book does as close to nothing with the Overlook (as it is rubble in the book) or its ghosts as possible while the movie actually tries to do some shit. The opening music is the same...

    A Quiet Place Part II (2020)

    Like I said it would have been a better film if it was just "there was an EMP attack, these fucking monsters showed up, we ran, we don't know what happened anywhere." Keeping it mysterious is superior to declaring them invincible and having them beat all military off screen to then end the film...

    The Prepper Thread

    If you're prepping for the boogaloo and you're diabetic than all you can really do is prep ketogenic. Bailing on carbs has decent results for some diabetics. Insulin storage requires refrigeration which can be challenging.

    A Quiet Place Part II (2020)

    The movie seems to draw distinctions between sound made by people stepping on twigs or knocking over cans and the sounds of nature. Except when it doesn't. I figure the aliens are smart enough to know what prey sounds are versus wind/rain/rivers/oceans? It's a heavily upscaled B horror movie...

    If your pet is retarded (mine is retarded, she's getting carved up for sandwiches) than you gotta do what you gotta do but still keep your pets in mind during your preps! Also - Harlan Ellison may have been a salty fuck but he wrote good stories.

    Don't forget with your preps to include your pets. They'll need things too and while it has upkeep a dog can be invaluable despite the upkeep.

    Bah, what about the fiction! EMP hits the country and shit starts falling apart almost immediately, pretty good. Good but I think we'd have a bit more Mad Max. There's just too much stuff lying around. Does the best job of anything explaining how a modern military could still manage to...

    TNG's got a rough couple of seasons. There's also Tasha Yar fighting off a forced marriage on a planet of tribal black people and then Wesley falling in a flower patch and being sentenced to die by a planet of all blonde whites living in paradise. Oh, and the episode where women are bigger than...

    In today's terms if there was a news article about William Shatner's scene with Michelle Nichols where he literally kissed her over and over and over again until the film ran out to get it in the show Jezebel would write articles about him sexually assaulting her, whether or not she consented to...

    We already had this conversation. Progressiveness and SJW are not the same thing, Star Trek's themes run counter to intersectionality and victim culture, the future is post-racial, etc etc etc.

    Guinen was the perfect wizened old owl archetype. On the opposite end of the spectrum Dax was originally pictured as being the mentor character of DS9 given her several lifetimes of experience and boy did that not go anywhere good.

    If anyone hasn't seen Chaos on the Bridge https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2880448/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 It's a documentary about the transition to and creation of TNG and all the shit they went through in the early seasons staying on the air. It's even hosted by Shatner! I thought it was pretty good.

    I didn't like it and it took me more than one sitting to finish it. It's got some good bits and some interesting visuals but the framework of the story is really basic. Interestingly enough until just now I never realized that The Curse was based on the same story. It says so right on the...
