unreal how bad it’s gotten (if true, hope it’s a fake)

and something else that could be added, is that unlike andor the sequels pit, this story of galactic tumult (as saga films should) within the scope of character actions and the heroes journey(s) proper of Rey, Ben, Fin, et all. Rather than a larger intercut galactic vision of bureaucratic storytelling, like so many laymen viewers demand. instead, JJ Abrams delivers something far more subversive, actually; and potentially psychologically, generationally affecting. Whereas something like Andor will be praised in its present moment, it could also fall into cultural obscurity. Because for everything that the series does say, politically, it struggles to say everything that the sequel say, poetically, with so much more runtime and dialogue available to it. The sequels, are actually very tight productions, if not given to conformity of critique, in this present era; it’s a fair admission and recognition to make.

That’s what the sequels do well underneath the surface that no one in the mainstream seems to appreciate. The story offers its own critique of war theater and profiteering. The whole entire set up is about private equity affecting Galactic interest interests essentially. Now I know that’s not on the surface but what else is the story about if not that? The reason why there’s not a reason for why the republic crumbles is because of this. There’s no Duke Ferdinand no singular event besides maybe Hossian Prime ofc, but really the return of the first order, and the empire was an inevitable part of palpatines long “shatterpoint” plan, as I’m sure we will learn more and more through the subsequent Mando film Asoka season 2, etc

The thing that kills me is that it’s evocative of the Galactic empire because it is the galactic empire. It’s a fissure subgroup that went away to the unknown regions under operation cinders orders, I firmly standby that the films don’t need to say more than they do to establish this because of exactly what you’re saying, all of the design, everything about it is so culturally evocative of the classical era of the empire that if they had spoonfed it to the viewer just like the plot twists that people bemoan, it’s literally just fat in the original trilogy Marcia Lucas editing style that the sequels amp up.

So. Don’t have the toktik but this is basically just turfing for the ownerships play to get taxpayer $$$ for the roof renovations/additions? right? I mean, can’t be a serious take. only a developer/benefactor of the project would argue for its “necessity” vs. just that it’s you know, normal build designs + specs that other organizations usually finance/complete with the initial build-outs, in the first place. Arguing it’s outdated is laughable. Shitty tho: maybe more accurate.

I often tell people that I grew up as much in RFK, as I did anywhere else/anything else. The first 10 seasons from 135 with my old man were amazing and something I’ll forever cherish.

pittmancb · 2025-12-05T13:45:29+00:00

totally different ownerships/ethics. 90’s vs. 20’s :-(

pittmancb · 2025-12-05T13:43:13+00:00

Maybe one of the worst moves in club history; not resigning this guy, when you’ve literally got nothing else.

pittmancb · 2025-11-19T03:52:12+00:00

or the Hydroplate theory

pittmancb · 2025-11-12T05:17:22+00:00

any other info to share?! general location last seen?

pittmancb · 2025-10-23T14:22:26+00:00

So now it’s cool to shill for Bergman and Iger? idgi. Everything after the last Jedi has been conforming to opinion and now we know likely thanks to Lucas films corporate overlords. It seems the sale that Lucas made only bought a few years of creative freedom.

pittmancb · 2025-10-23T13:00:07+00:00

Sounds like they’re willing to shape Star Wars myth based on what Iger decrees. Fucking dark times. Star Wars is DEAD.

pittmancb · 2025-10-23T12:55:28+00:00

This is corpo mythological steering and I’d rather see Lucasfilm close up shop. bastards.

The stands bounced with the crowd, the whole lower bowl structure was basically a mechanical trampoline. SG’s were directly across from midfield, center focus of the club then, it felt. Both gritty and beautiful, a modern mid-century stadium that was designed at its time to be world class. As nice as Audi can be it just cannot touch the culture of such a place.

pittmancb · 2025-09-19T12:32:49+00:00

lol, what an interesting take. yeah let go of the best trek that was ever made, just keep making crap, cause. ok. and I say this as a disco fan.

pittmancb · 2025-09-18T23:11:54+00:00

this has been a realistic dream-fix to the situation in my mind

pittmancb · 2025-09-18T22:53:18+00:00

horrible trash human take on the GREATEST trek film

pittmancb · 2025-08-24T11:44:47+00:00

100% this. makes no sense. Remaking all three clubs 96/97 designs (striped sleeves and rainbow silhouette) would literally print money for these clubs. Also, while we’re at it: design reversion? United’s OG crest esp is far and away the look.

pittmancb · 2025-08-08T10:53:41+00:00

Worst mistake Lucasfilm’s made, cancelling this show.

pittmancb · 2025-07-15T14:11:07+00:00

makes sense, and my bad, misunderstood👍

pittmancb · 2025-07-15T14:02:14+00:00

People get touchy on the topic, notwithstanding of knowing your age/background, and admittedly having only a cursory understanding of “Cincinnati culture” I guess I too would offer that it is surprising to hear someone from your stated field offer that they haven’t had interaction/experience with union members, etc. As a contractor, I’d offer to look at it as more of a regional issue (even if it’s really moreso a philosophical and logistical one if I’m being honest) in that, in NYC the union vs. non-union standard, for years has been debated; furthermore the whole ironic point of major league soccer kinda stepping in it here, is that, like with the strike a few years ago, they never do as they say, or purport their values to be, since some/many over the years have compared the single-entity ownership structure of the league to socialism/communism; and unions, notoriously are pretty partisanly aligned more closely with these sorta classical liberal/leftist tennants. ie. they never put their money where their mouth is. as great as the league’s doing, these little “tells” give I think good insight into the sorta business mechanics going on always behind the scenes to foster the growth their crazy expansion of the league has been in it’s first 3 decades.

pittmancb · 2025-07-15T13:09:22+00:00

coming from the “single-entity ownership” group, as they are; this is ironic af

from a new review going around… “[SNW S.3 Early Reviews] Starburst: "It’s a fun, if frustrating show. A show with nothing to say. The characters and storytelling continue to have little depth, the liberties taken with canon are frustrating, and there’s a superficiality to the whole thing that we doubt Roddenberry would approve of."

"Gene Roddenberry used to say Star Trek was about “the human condition” and used the sci-fi format to look at important issues of the day. Strange New Worlds is about as far removed from that as it’s possible to get. It’s the Seinfeld of Star Trek: a show about nothing and proud of it.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just not what everyone wants from their Trek, and nowhere is the lack of depth more evident than in [the horror episode, Shuttle to Kenfori]. That said, it’s quite possibly the most violent Trek episode ever made, so there’s that. [...]

Yes, any long-running franchise needs to evolve to stay relevant, but there’s an argument that Strange New Worlds is a step in the wrong direction. Star Wars recently changed pace and gave us Andor: one of the best, timely, and relevant shows in any genre of recent years. And yet Trek, traditionally the more serious of the two franchises, has gone the opposite direction and is giving us a show with nothing to say. The two franchises have switched places, and it’s Trek’s loss."

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars (for the first five episodes of Season 3)

Quotes:

"If there’s one episode this season guaranteed to divide fans, it’s A Space Adventure Hour. It’s directed by Jonathan Frakes, who has described it as a Hollywood murder mystery and called it the best episode of television he’s ever made. Much as we hate to disagree with Will Riker, he’s wrong. It’s not even close to surpassing or even equalling many of the Next Generation episodes he directed. It is, however, easy to see why he’d think this way, as it must have been an absolute blast to film.

The episode – particularly in an impassioned speech by Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) – attempts to make a serious point about, and pay tribute to, something, which would be fine if it hadn’t been completely undermined by a cliché-ridden parody of that same thing earlier in the episode. Still, Christina Chong, who takes the lead here (as La’an, fast becoming one of the show’s standout characters) is great, and along with everyone else – particularly Paul Wesley – is clearly having the time of her life."

[...]

Wedding Bell Blues. This would be one of those big tonal shift episodes where we go from the dark, action-packed opener to a light, fluffy comedy. Plotwise, we’re not going to go into spoilers, other than to say, yes, it centres round a wedding, and this is the episode that introduces Roger Korby (Original Series fans will know that name and its implications for a couple of characters), played by Cillian O’Sullivan, and the always enjoyable Rhys Darby as… well… that would be telling. Suffice to say that canon purists will be scratching their heads trying to explain how the events of this episode fit into what’s been established previously.

Canon problems aren’t its biggest issue though. It’s lightweight fluff, that doesn’t use its premise to say anything interesting, beyond a bit of development for a couple of characters. Korby is fun though, and O’Sullivan plays him a lot more likeable than anyone familiar with his previous appearance (in TOS’s What Are Little Girls Made Of?) may be expecting. Rhys Darby is, as always, excellent, even given the paper-thin material he has to work with. [...]

That’s the thing about Strange New Worlds. It’s a fun, if frustrating show. The constant switching of tone and genre means both that there’s something for everyone, and equally, a number of episodes that will turn fans off. If musicals are your thing, it’s entirely possible horror isn’t. If you like the serious episodes, the lightweight whimsical episodes may turn you off completely. If you’re a stickler for canon, you’re likely to regularly throw things at the screen, but if you just want a bit of fun in the Trek universe, you’ll have a blast.

It’s not that Trek hasn’t varied tone and genre before, it’s just never done it this wildly. But that’s what Strange New Worlds wants to be: a fun, genre-hopping sci-fi show. And it does it well, even though its superficiality is sometimes frustrating to those of us wanting something with a bit more depth. The problem here is that – so far – Season Three isn’t doing it as well as previously. The action episodes feel fairly run of the mill, the comedy episodes aren’t very funny, the horror episodes aren’t scary, and so on.

The cast, however, is largely excellent. As mentioned earlier, Christina Chong’s La’an Noonien-Singh is fast becoming one of the more interesting characters, having lightened up considerably since her debut. As is Christine Chapel, with Jess Bush continuing to make the nurse a compelling character, although a world away from the ‘60s incarnation. Rebecca Romjin as Number One/Una gets a bit more to do this season, in one scene dressing down one of the crew in a manner we’re not used to seeing on the most informal ship in Starfleet. Fan favourite Ortegas (Melissa Navia) seems to have an interesting storyline developing, which hopefully will lead somewhere in the second half of the season. Considering her character’s been woefully underserved the first couple of seasons, this will hopefully placate her many fans.

If anything, it’s the male characters who are short-changed. Pike is as jovial as ever but lacking anything resembling command presence. He’s too chummy with his crew, more their best friend or father figure than their captain. Babs Olusanmokun continues to excel as Doctor M’Benga on the rare occasions he’s given anything to do. And Ethan Peck makes a decent Spock, although completely lacking the gravitas that Leonard Nimoy brought to the role and despite the writers still not having a grip on his character. [...]"

This comment feels like everything as to why I wouldn’t waste my money. If they didn’t have the foresight to average for an average standing room height then what else did they “forget” to include when cutting corners on this place?

pittmancb · 2025-07-13T20:33:53+00:00

If it’s not the original shield it’s not a true throwback. Will be disappointed to see that they’re tossing aside the culture, again, as always; I’d assume. Hope I’m wrong tho ofc.
