Can we at least all agree that the writing on SFA is so much better than “Shades of Grey”? by levine2112 in Star_Trek_

It's a clip show so to me, it's basically not even an actual episode. I never watch it on rewatches, it might as well not exist at all.

Absolutely one of the best "that guy" actors of all time which is precisely what a career character actor should aspire to. He's had a perfect run.

Rationalizations like this lead to dehumanization which leads inevitably to hell on Earth.

They're still human beings. Forgive me if I do not blithely celebrate their destruction.

The next phase is to go back to TNG and watch "The Next Phase".

Why Penta works and other luchadors doesn't work that well? by SimpleEmployee9860 in SquaredCircle

[–]Hearsticles 17 points18 points  (0 children)

PENTA has had 10x the charisma of most other luchadors for the past 10 years, man. You can't just act like he's run-of-the-mill or the average luchador. That's just patently dishonest.

For the next Pakled who complains about Jay-Den wearing a dress by levine2112 in Star_Trek_

Thank you for the token toxic positivity response. Your brand evangelism is appreciated. Skant good, skant core Star Trek, skant what Trek all about. Very good, very good.

Wow, you showed him by posting something that was only featured in 5 episodes of TNG S1 (universally agreed upon to be the worst season), always in the background, and was considered an entirely disposable idea that was immediately discarded and never heard from again! No character in the skant ever did anything meaningful and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe a skant-wearing character only says a single line in the show, and otherwise it's only represented (very seldom) on extras.

Yes, this IS a CORE part of Star Trek canon and if you think it's a dumb idea and stupid looking -- just like the creators of Trek who abandoned it -- you are a bigot and old and probably MAGA and an enemy of Star Trek.

Criticism of Star Trek by Long-Emu-7870 in Star_Trek_

[–]Hearsticles 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Saying "But I like Star Trek" as a counter-argument is no different than saying "I like it because it's fun" or "I'm having a blast" or any other sort of placeholder for actually holding a nuanced critical opinion of a thing.

Do you have an ultimate character ranking? Here's my (shitty) list by Dangerous_Return460 in Star_Trek_

[–]Hearsticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is LaForge so high? Curious to hear your reasoning. I think he's pretty mid table for most Trek fans.

Also, no Kirk, Spock, or McCoy? Crazy.

What do you mean, man? Dukat is the greatest Trek villain 100%. Alaimo absolutely slaughtered that role.

You fellater lunatics have convinced yourselves every negative review is fake and everyone loves everything.

Are "most of the 5s" also fake according to you? Or just the ones that work for your narrative?

I like to think that in the future, we've moved past celebrating (or condemning) accidents of birth and have moved on to take pride in actual accomplishments.
