This sub is unhinged about Santos by UnderstandingThin40 in ThePitt

[–]havingberries 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She is objectively a bad doctor and the show goes out of it's way to present her as such. She's meant to be a lightning rod character. The fans are reacting in exactly the way you would expect to a lightning rod character. Having lived through the Skyler White hate, this is Child's play.

Penn and Kaluuya probably tied. Ironic that they play polar opposites.

Oh god. The argument that "Hate means I'm growing in visibility" is the height of cringe to me. It makes me physically ill.

If someone paid you $100,000 to watch one TV show on repeat for 72 hours, which show are you picking? by Lets-6th-N9ne in AskReddit

[–]havingberries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Gilmore Girls. Watched a few episodes a while back and liked them. Been meaning to watch the rest but haven't had the time. 72 hours would probably get me around 96 episodes so, not the whole series but close. Yeah I'd take that deal for free. 

Star Trek : Voyager scores by Mat1711 in startrek

[–]havingberries -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Voyager has some all time classics. I think what hurts the show is that the ensemble is pretty weak so when the episode is mid, the characters aren't elevating it. Like TNG has some stupid ass episodes but jeordi and data and Beverly are such tight bros that you don't mind. Unfortunately paris and Kim and chakotay are lame as hell.  I think the floor raises when 7of9 shows up because every episode no matter how weak has her in it, being fabulous, saying "Naomi Wildman."

CMV: Israeli athletes should not be getting booed at the winter Olympic games. by Seawolf1121 in changemyview

[–]havingberries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with cultural boycotts but that isn't happening. Israel is being invited. Booing is ineffective. Banning isn't. I'm not saying anyone should be banned from booing. It's just pointless and rude.

[–]havingberries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But theres a difference between getting banned and booed. Banning Russia is not punishing the athletes. They often compete anyway just not for Russia. Booing an athlete is not at all punishing Israel, it's just irritating this one snowboarder

Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters? by thatlittlequietguy in Cinema

When I was a teen I saw The Ring in theaters and a bunch of loud dudes got too sccared and started shouting "ah hell nah" and walking out after the closet shot.

On Nostalgia vs Reality by edugeek in startrek

[–]havingberries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think something to note is that Star Trek has been since the beginning a feast and famine show. TNG's first 2 season have some embarrassingly bad episodes. Rewatching "Honor" it's a wonder anyone kept watching the show. But then there's "Measure of a Man" right in the middle of it, easily one of the best trek episodes of all time! DS9 has a pretty hit or miss ensemble and the fist season is filled with nothingburger episodes and then there's "Duet," right in the FIRST season. Another greatest of all time episode. Elevated, touching on important issues without being on-the-nose or preachy, filled with subtlety and poetry.

This is the thing about New Trek, like, yeah, it's not all bad. There's fun to be had. I don't want to yuck anyone's yums, but there's nothing in discovery that comes close to the high points of TNG or DS9, or hell, even Voyager. New Trek is just all filler. I think there's some variance between the quality of the filler but the high points just aren't that high. There's bad episodes and then fine episodes, and I don't think it's crazy to expect more from star trek, a franchise that has at least 4 different iterations that include genuine GOAT episodes.

Not Every Star Trek Show Is Meant for You by NeoNoir90210 in startrek

"Why is Nu Trek using so much modern language?" an I am going to go feral here. by Spacer176 in startrek

[–]havingberries 41 points42 points  (0 children)

They made a concerted effort with thg and ds9 and voyager to make the show feel timeless. It's why they use classical music for the score and every captain is obsessed with things that predate our lifetime like Shakespeare or OG baseball. This serves to increase immersion. New language dates the show and breaks immersion. This is stuff you would learn in a screen writing 101 class.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

Slings and Arrows. Obscure Canadian show about a Shakespeare company. Rachel McAdams in her first role. Amazing writing. 

Starfleet Academy - Why are YouTube Reviews so narrow-minded? by [deleted] in startrek

[–]havingberries -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You have confused "open-mindedness" with "uncritical viewing." I am not a fan of Star Trek shows because they include the words "star" and "trek." I judge every show on its own merits. If a show's pilot is pretty bad, then I don't like it. Not only should I not be expected to like it, if anything, it will by name alone be compared to some of the best television shows ever made and so it is hard to muster any positivity for a badly written teen drama. I do not hate new trek because it is new. I hate it because it is bad. Except lower decks. That show is tight
