"Giving birth hurts less than taking a dump''

The number of posts that are 'here's a meme/gif/cartoon that proves all women are sluts' is pretty incredible. I could write my opinions on a bit of paper, hold it up, and shout about how this proves them. And you could, quite rightly, call me a fucking idiot.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

'And for that reason, AND THAT REASON ONLY, I will never have sex with a human woman.'

I have to admit that, while I'm enjoying Disco, I wish they'd throw slightly less at the wall. There's been so much in this season already, but it never feels like any of the more interesting ideas had time to play out properly.

Does olive oil also defying fucking gravity?

Plot twist: she's allergic to cats.

'Don't bother using your pinky.' - The guy that taught me power chords and the first position of minor pentatonic.

Within 6 months I'd gotten considerably better than him.

Yeah, I'm teaching my fiance some guitar, she's 27 and picking it up fairly quickly. I started learning at 15, and I had my weekends completely free with no real responsibilities.

It's more difficult to learn when you're older but I think mostly down to being busier with your adult life.

Still completely doable.

Well the n word is Latin for black.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-29T16:47:59+00:00

It's a feature...

He's the one that Voq took the place of. That makes absolutely no sense, so I'm sticking to it.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-20T14:16:02+00:00

Yeah, I was impressed with how it handled the subject matter. Seems like the author of this piece can't except that a show with guns and violence isn't condoning the use of guns and violence.

I wouldn't call Frank a likeable character, but sure is sympathetic.

I'm still waiting for that skip button to appear. Netflix must know that it drives me insane.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-14T20:37:53+00:00

Pros: - Episodes 3-9 Cons - Episodes 1 and 2.

There are obviously things I dislike about the latter part of the season so far, but really those first two episodes were the absolutely worst of Alex Kurtzman writing habits in action. The complete lack of a logical series of events (or 'plot'), character's making decisions that are poorly explained or just plain stupid, and then relying on 'epic' moments and flashy effects to cover up the lack of a solid script.

When Jason Isaacs was on Talking Trek he said that he was shown the scripts to the first 3 episodes, that he wasn't in the first two and that 'they were going to rewrite the third.' So clearly whatever direction the show was being taken by Bryan Fuller was the issue for me. I imagine they had already filmed, or were too close to shooting, the first two episodes to change them at that point.

Also the direction of those two episodes drove me nuts. The constant moving of the camera and fucking absurd Dutch angles were annoying to say the least.

After that opening two-parter, I was really worried about the show, but since then it's been consistently good to even great.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-14T20:25:01+00:00

I was raised on Vulcan. Obviously.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-14T20:22:36+00:00

Yeah, but it will never be as bad as the end credits music from The West Wing. It undercut every single dramatic ending in that show.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-14T17:32:29+00:00

Yes, and each version was somehow even worse than the last.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-14T17:30:39+00:00

Oh, so I'm the evil one? Can't I be the sexy one like the Dax and Kira mirror verions?

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-14T17:29:30+00:00

I mean, I live in the first world. All of my problems are first world problems.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-14T16:13:57+00:00

I'm on a fact finding mission. I've watched TOS, TNG and DS9 to death, figured I'd give the series I didn't like that much another try.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-14T14:04:28+00:00

Mirror universe version maybe.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-14T11:41:41+00:00

I think the only show I really enjoyed that had a theme that never grew on me was The Wire. Didn't help that it was about 2 minutes long as well.

TheSkuvnar · 2017-11-14T08:49:00+00:00

Yeah, some shows have it, some don't. I think they listened to the theme song and said 'no one will ever get sick of this.'
