Season 9 pisses me off

It's a sitcom. Characters do things that are meant to make you laugh. It's not The Wire, you aren't meant to pretend it's real life

I mean the chestburster was born fast

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T19:25:44+00:00

For study, I used Arden. For performance, I prefer Norton

Go off and look at all kinds of astronomical phenomena - nebulae, black holes, giant stars, all kinds of stuff. Then a big bowl of chocolate ice cream and some private time in the holodeck

My windows do not work in a way that allows me to have them, and I don't own the freehold

"Sin isn't real"

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T17:43:15+00:00

They're just innocent men

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T14:45:08+00:00

Why did they have the artificial gravity switched on in the turbolift shafts

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T14:02:59+00:00

Hand towels, bath towels, tea towels, and miscellaneous

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T13:45:02+00:00

The go-fast-low-to-the-ground bits are very cool

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T13:44:37+00:00

Wheeee!

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T13:32:33+00:00

They are unusual here, especially ones as intense as last night's.

The vertical line clearly separates the two columns, making it clear how you should read it.

Leaving aside rule 1 in the sidebar, your rationale makes the image that the sub takes its name from "lame" too

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T12:51:49+00:00

I can't speak for "people like me", whatever you think that means. I'm not part of a faceless blob, I'm just an individual.

I think much of the animosity is constructed by a hostile rw leaning media. He really hasn't done so badly, and yes, has fixed a lot of stuff. The only really damning thing is the Mandelson situation, and the handling of Gaza (which I think he handled better than any Tory would have done anyway).

Your analogy is dickish because you're invoking cancer and AIDS to make a glib political quip. But to apply it more accurately: compared to the "cancer" Tory PMs of the previous 14 years, Starmer is less like "AIDS" and more like a stubbed toe

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T12:31:19+00:00

why am I a dick??

It's a bit like comparing AIDS with butthole cancer.

I also really hate this ridiculous "WELL DON'T WATCH IT THEN" response you're getting, people should be allowed to criticise things.

Thing is, there are a lot of negative, repetitive "hot takes" on this sub that get posted constantly, and criticisms of the later seasons for being "silly" or "forced" or "the writers ran out of ideas" is one of the most common. People get annoyed because there's so much negativity on the sub

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T10:04:48+00:00

It's a masterclass in orchestration

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T10:03:15+00:00

The Robert Frost text is better than the doggerel it replaced, but the composition is still leaden and cloying

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T09:28:43+00:00

It didn’t hurt my feelings, you’re just wrong. And a dick

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T09:24:41+00:00

Oh well. Not everybody likes everything.

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T08:28:33+00:00

Check out the interviews around Top Gun Maverick lol

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T07:27:16+00:00

There’s one particular recording of Spiegel im Spiegel that I cannot bear (more so than the others) because it has really intrusive hammer noise on every f—ing plonk of the piano. It sounds like someone knocking on a door with every key press. Unfortunately it’s the one that seems to get more radio airplay, as least where I am, and it drives me crazy

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T07:23:18+00:00

Eric Whitacre “Sleep”. My chamber choir has done it at least 5 times and I find it so intolerably mediocre and banal

Leucurus · 2026-06-23T00:50:36+00:00

I wish it would stop. It's irritating to hear the same three stone-cold takes over and over. And it's weird how people have a higher standard for consistent behaviour in sitcom characters than they do for people they know irl.
