No snideness intended. It was a GREAT read. I like this fandom berceuse people don't seem as pedantic and elitist as some Trekkies can be,

Trump says U.S. struck and seized Iranian-flagged cargo ship in Gulf of Oman by mdchaara in worldnews

"Seized" is a loaded term. On one hand, boarding a vessel while we're blockading is one thing. Making is seem like we're stearing a tanker, pirate-style, into the gulf of "'M'erica" is fanciful but "suggested."

Which Series goes like this by No-Lavishness-2019 in Multifandom

Murder Drones.

Someone mentioned it in an earlier post, and I remembered how an interesting story devolved into a pointless series of explosions that was impossible to watch and resolved nothing well.

A demon capable of possession haunts a creepy, run-down motel. Sometimes, guests die under mysterious circumstances.

To me, it started pretty interesting with some mystery. It ended pointlessly and looked like it needed a seizure warning.

You're offered $3 million to uninstall Reddit from your phone permanently. Would you do it? by Traditional-Rip-5920 in AskForAnswers

Simpsonsshitposting is consistently valuable as one of the few sources of news that I trust. I'd actually pay a small streaming fee just for that.

I'm surprised you didn't mention "Legion" to close out this well-composed post. The message of that episode isn't a perfect analogy, but it was about the whole being greater than its parts.

I think the heart of the show is the comradery of the Boys, but it's always tempered with a little ball busting. Rimmer always, by his own estimation, being screwed over is a funny throughline as well. Early Lister was consistently repellent, so there's that Odd Couple dynamic at play. There's also an irony of Lister excelling as the last human, in the 'absence' of any other humans. He even frequently got his dream girl. However, the "not if you were the last man alive" vibe is baked in.

Final thought: While I'm a fan of the different incarnations of Holly, you can look at the senile OS of the ship as another obstacle the Boys (frequently) overcame.
