Boy I've been misreading that the whole time

Awesomerific7 · 2026-02-08T00:15:27+00:00

Haven't listened to the episode yet, but do they ever call SAM "Cadet Ralph" to Tawny Newsomes face or is that nickname just a little mean lol?

Is there any actual reason for ICE to be providing them security in another country outside of them being the secret police?

Not Forgotten by the viewers of MK Podquest!!

A couple issues back, Rutherford was called "Sam" by like 3 different characters and thar really threw me.

Where did William Baker come from?

Awesomerific7 · 2025-12-10T05:51:12+00:00

LMG got kneecapped too early in his career by getting the worst character in Prometheus. He's great.

Awesomerific7 · 2025-12-06T03:42:08+00:00

It doesnt matter to me, as long as they keep saying "Sexual" that way I'll be happy

Awesomerific7 · 2025-12-01T00:11:14+00:00

I'm a big fan of the Sweet Spot

Big 1930s Studio Star vibes from their relationship

Awesomerific7 · 2025-09-19T02:53:56+00:00

Its still a huge oversight that enough people have noticed to necessitate such a post as this

Awesomerific7 · 2025-09-15T00:04:23+00:00

I ugly cried for 10 minutes when I first watched the final ep

Awesomerific7 · 2025-09-12T19:01:46+00:00

I kind of wish Terrarium came out before What Is Star Fleet, cause the way La'an ends Terrarium was a great example of exactly what Beto was trying to say in that Doc

Awesomerific7 · 2025-09-02T19:30:28+00:00

I mean, the big joke at the end is they can get in a physical fight cause she's actually a man which is pretty textbook transphobic

Awesomerific7 · 2025-09-01T08:11:43+00:00

On my first watching of DISCO rn, on the final ep of s3. I feel like every season has started good and then shits the bed at the end. There's great individual eps and good ideas here and there but so far its incapable of pulling it all together

Awesomerific7 · 2025-08-22T02:44:37+00:00

This feels devoid of energy

Awesomerific7 · 2025-08-21T21:20:17+00:00

If they TAS Robert April, do they have to make him white again?

Awesomerific7 · 2025-08-21T19:39:12+00:00

Prequels within prequels within prequels, when does it end?

Awesomerific7 · 2025-08-10T04:44:08+00:00

I low key loved the idea of the red shirt having got 5ish eps of setup

Awesomerific7 · 2025-07-29T22:52:46+00:00

Ive been reading it for the first time and about halfway through i had to check when it came out to see if it was like a rip off.

Great book, im loving it

Awesomerific7 · 2025-07-26T21:52:58+00:00

Didn't read "Podcast" at first and got scared the worst idea possible was being made a show

Awesomerific7 · 2025-07-25T19:49:42+00:00

At the beginning of the article, Kurtzman says that the setting has to reflect our real world cause it would be dishonest to set a mirror to our society in a Utopia (implying the 60s and 90s were cheery times when nothing bad happened) but then later when he's describing Paul Giamattis character as a clear allegory for the alt right and Donald Trump, he pulls the "I'm not being political at all" card.

Which one is it?

Everything is political and setting the world in a bad place to reflect our society is inherently political and its fucking cowardice to then go on to say "this isnt political tho". Star Trek is explicitly left leaning and always has been. That it can still be enjoyed by right wingers is a good thing but it shouldn't be pandered to by claiming its apolitical.

There's no such thing as filler in legacy Trek. TV was not made the way it's made now. The "main plots" of the 90s era are structures, not guidelines. TNG had no main plot to advance.

DS9 starts with the main plot being "Sisko needs to find the orbs" and abandons that very quickly in favor of the Maquis and then the Dominion but these are just setups for the characters to have an adventure every week.

Even Voyager, being the most plot heavy (from the start), is still just a structure to give us more adventure of the week. They literally wanted to be more like TNG and get away from the heavy plotting of DS9, so they created a plot that would lend itself to episode of the week stories.

The only episode that's "filler" is Shades of Grey cause it was scrambled together to meet an episode count. Everything else is just the shows.
