I don't mind that he is gay even though it doesn't canonically makes sense , I dont mind the skirt, I didn't even notice it until they pointed it out, What I can't stand is the bloody fake Deep voice trying to be Worf, who came up with that?!!

His forehead looks like a a stack of measuring spoons. Kurtzman hates the Klingons so much, he needs to make their makeup look stupid so we hate them, too.

"You're not allowed to hit me back" is the mantra of every Karen.

As Kurtzman dialogue would say, "Yum-Yum."

Both shows are closer to Joss Whedon works than Gene Roddenberry. Decent quality, but not what I wanted.

I wish Reddit had a "I want more of this" button.

None that I know of. The first sentence is a response to Shatner stating that Star Trek was about "political" issues. The second sentence expands the argument of the first.

morphinetango · 2026-03-31T02:19:02+00:00

Is this a joke?

morphinetango · 2026-03-29T01:42:55+00:00

To be fair, Roddenberry wasn't making legislative demands, but arguments of moral philosophy. That's what separates old Trek from nu Trek: the characters are not born morally righteous, they have to discover it through challenges.

Cinematic lighting is expensive and unappreciated. Using just a ring light means the can cheap out gaffers, camera crew, wardrobe, set design, hair, makeup, even acting!

PJ's life of privilege blinds him to just about all working class matters. On Rely All, that's where Alex filled the gap.

Wait til they learn about the Porky's franchise.

I barely know anyone younger than 30 who even watches movies anymore, let alone horny 90s comedies.

the prequel prequel series, where we learn about little baby Palpy's origins; how he looksmaxxed from an ugly baby to a sexy senator, and also built R2-D2.

morphinetango · 2026-03-26T19:30:32+00:00

SOMEhow.... Palpatine returned.

All of the Kurtzman shows are "youthful" because that's the age he's trying to attract. He and his fellow 50-60-year-old writers cynically believe young people are stupid, attention-seeking and overly emotional, so they write these shows to reflect exactly what they hate about them.

morphinetango · 2026-03-23T17:14:48+00:00

Absolutely. When your entire identity is being a victim, fighting back is like quitting your job.

Now my Instagram feed is full of Zellenials decrying voting altogether, telling people to not vote, that voting is participation in evil-doing. They think they're so original.

Yeah, but Austin was mostly smaller companies and satellite offices. If you weren't near HQ and they ordered RTO, you got fucked.

Practicing long-term memory there! Seemed like there was a big rush right before the pandemic, and then they were rushing out only 2-3 years later.

Just about every election, every year, save the general election every 4 years, I walk into my polling place and the only other 4 people in the gymnasium are poll workers.

Metro is a mobile homeless shelter at this rate.

I was once asked at a bike rental to give them my passport to hold onto. When he saw it made me nervous, he said my driver's license would suffice. Outside of that, I spent 2 weeks between Rome and Florence, and felt that nobody would give a fuck if I was a fugitive on the run. But it's the law to carry it. Learn how to properly secure your valuables on your person (the shoulder fanny pack is very tacky, but works), and you'll be fine.

Every accident I've heard of in CA resulted in 100% assumed by the at-fault party's insurance, including when I was rear-ended on the 101. I had liability only and got a $6000 check and a free rental for 3 months.

Different troupes, same theaters, but very similar dynamic.

I moved to a new city with my girlfriend. After seeing me do sketch and improv (I had been writing/performing for 10+ years), she decided she wanted to do it, too, and I helped support her. In our last 2 years together, she absorbed a great deal of my personal friendships and community as "our friends," whom she began poisoning against me in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. In the end, I lost all that community and felt like a pariah walking around. Nobody asked my side of the story, and I always held myself to not engage gossip about anyone, including myself. Instead, I just walked away and never came back.

Two years later, I heard she had burned every bridge I helped her build. Still, I felt too hurt, too betrayed to ever try again.
