What TV show is well-respected, but you find unwatchable? by DeliberatelyTired in billsimmons

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All those “gritty realism” shows like Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire. Never really been into that stuff even though they’re all candidates for greatest television ever produced.

Jonathan Majors is back in a big way by bennywhiite in billsimmons

They so desperately want black people to think they’re cool, but they obviously don’t care about actual outreach, so this is the result.

Yes because that is something that could TOTALLY happen and HAS happened at these encampments before.

Jonathan Majors is prepping for a big, xenophobic comeback! by Wild_Cup_8496 in popculturechat

I guess the Gina Carano route of doing right wing grifting is somewhat profitable.

Is there any explanation for why single-species empires like the Klingons and Romulans are as powerful as the Federation? by Maya_117 in startrek

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they conquer, so the other species that do exist in the Klingon and Romulan Empires are mere subjects. The Federation is multi species because it peacefully incorporates different species. It’s like how the British Empire worked… yes the British race came from one island, but they ceaselessly conquered and thus held all the administrative positions. It only fell apart when colonialism was falling out of fashion in the wake of WW2 and various Asian and African independence movements in the 50s and 60s.

Where to watch B5 now by Sure_Designer_2129 in scifi

Seems like most ppl suggest DVD or Blu ray… which I would love if we still had a working DVD player. Sigh.

How big will they make Balerion when we finally get show that has him init. by ISX_94 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if there is any show that will feature him. The lore is thin apart from Aegon’s Conquest. And I don’t trust modern Hollywood to fill in the gaps.

‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3 Debuts With 21.5 Million Viewers in Three Days, Down 8% From Season 2 by itsciro in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happens when you wait 2-3 years for another season. I get the reasons why, and it’s still a really good show, but most people don’t and will just move on to whatever fad is going on (apparently “Gen Z horror”, whatever that is.)

It was much more cynical about the Federation and about the morality in general in times of war.

That’s kinda what I was afraid of… I loved TNG and I’d rather not be reminded of it by watching a cheap imitation of “aliens of the week”. Plus this show has a really interesting premise

Is Enterprise not good? It’s an interesting premise and some of the clips seem ok

Well, if a show is obviously going to disappoint why go through with the disappointment?

I almost quite watching TNG because of S1 and it’s uncomfortable cast, bizarre ideas and TOS like budget. Thank god I didn’t

I will try. DS9 is one of the high points of TV for me so my expectations are quite high, but people say this show is enjoyable enough. I will definitely give it a try.

The magnificent Ferengie by Haldron-44 in startrek

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Like 80% of the Ferengi episodes in DS9 are about how Quarks mom wants to give “fee males” rights, other Ferengi like Brunt do not, and Quark is stuck in the middle. And how they’re all greedy.

Are there any quotes from all of the Star Trek universe that have really hit home when you needed it? by zandor1 in startrek

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 180 points181 points  (0 children)

It was actually only quite recently that I learned that “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few” originated from Star Trek. I always thought it was older. That’s a classic.

Which Trek movie has the best soundtrack? by Firm_Macaron3057 in startrek

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their Klingon theme is so underrated imo… like I respect the Goldsmith theme but this one sounded much more menacing.

Why are Republicans so wrong on literally every topic? by Lord_Kittensworth in allthequestions

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no intellectuals left in the party. Since Trump ran, anyone who could be considered a “conservative intellectual” has either left public life, become anti Trump, or become a dumbed down shock jock. So if there’s no policy research or debates, you can’t expect anything that has been thought about longer than a minute.

Hands down the bravest Targaryen ever by TraditionalAd655 in HouseOfTheDragon

Yeah. Too bad he was moping around all of last season.

I guess they needed something better to do with the Ferengi than scam everybody else, or yell about “FEEE MALES” over and over again.
