My second favourite crazy conspiracy theory is that Tom Clancy didn’t really exist and that he was the front man for the CIA’s public relations office. Red Storm especially leads this as the whole novel reads like someone took a high level war game and tried to make a novelisation out of it.
I came here looking for this and I knew Lemmy would come through for me. Thanks for passing your spark forward.
Laurie Anderson - Strange Angels
The Middleman! It was 1 hour comedy that played on ABC Family that sadly got canceled after its first season. It was a farcical take on the super spy genre based off the comic books of the same name with Matt Kessler and Natalie freaking Morales. Vampire Ventriloquist Dummies, Zombie Flying Fish, and all Alien Boy Bands. It’s a hilarious send up spy and comic book tropes.
You lucky So-and-So! It’s a heap of fun!
This is why The Good Place is my comfort show. Chidi’s monologue both brakes me and puts me back together. Every moment in the finale is a work of art but that scene on the couch, there just aren’t words.
Every time someone I know passes I watch that whole episode and it helps me find peace.
It was a quote that I read on lemmy. Someone was talking about dealing with suicidal thoughts and he asked his friend why he shouldn’t kill himself. His friend thought for a minute and then looked at him and said “Mornings are pretty nice.”
It was at that point he realised he shouldn’t be looking for some great reason for some great reason for life and instead just be.
Mornings are pretty nice.
So DJT failed to get Mike Johnson to toe the line about forcing a shut down if they didn’t get the voter suppression that he wanted. Sounds like the rest of the party is slipping through his fingers.
Ha! Jokes on Janeway, I’m in to that shit.
Honestly I love how much Kate Mulgrew grew in to the character. Janeway is such an interesting character and she turned in a really complex and interesting performance.
Plus Hologram Janeway is so much fun.
I’m feeling personally attacked here! I come down on the Boimler side here I think, and I’d hate to argue with Beckett but she’s wrong.
All Star Treks are awesome in their own way and there all my Favourite. I can’t and I won’t be made to pick a series.
Those Old Scientists era is where it all starts and nobody tackles those great social issues like they did.
The Animated Series is so forking batshirt crazy and fun. And they brought us my bois, the Kizinti!
The original cast movies brought Trek back from the repeats. Yes even numbers are better but five got me to ask “Why does god need a starship”
The Next Generation really kicked it in to high gear and expanded the universe.
DS9 - I wouldn’t recommend any long story format higher.
Voyager - if I didn’t love Voyager Janeway would kick my ass.
The TNG movies had some kick ass action and amazing space battles.
Enterprise really explored the beginnings and had a lot of fun filling in the niches and contradictions.
I could keep going on and on but it’s late and I’ll leave you with how I alway feel about Trek series. My favourite one is one that I’m watching right now
I don’t remember where I was on 9/11 but I was drinking a lot back then so that doesn’t say much.
Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays
I know! Those 3 line are god damn masterpiece in screenwriting. I guess I just got lucky
No but the kind of chicks who’d double up on a guy like me do.
Eh, I prefer Mancala then any off your new fangled ‘board’ games
Sorry Sentient, this isn’t a thing that’s happened but a thing that should. But you do have a chance to give Prodigy a go and for that I’m jelly. It a fun show that really gets the inspirational and aspirational thing about Star Trek.
You know Dal’s gonna get a wicked mural of a Klingon fighting a sahlat on the side of the new shuttles in the next season of Prodigy.
The common clay of old west.
Yeah his buddies from DOD’s PR and from the NSA. /s Yeah I’d believe that the whole novel really reminded me of a YouTube of some war games.
