  • Short answer: Yes.

    Long answer: There are some creative choices I question, but it doesn't try to tell its own interpretation like some live action adaptations. It's probably about as true to source as you're going to get in a live action series. After your initial recoiling of live-action anime, you'll most likely start to enjoy it.

  • Active evil vs passive evil.

    What’s the difference between puppy-chippers and starving out families with policy changes?

  • “Oops, we ratcheted up the heat too fast. We’ll need to do it again slower so the frogs don’t notice.”

  • And Gen X’ers TBH.

    Millennials are hitting 40+ now.

  • Unity plays the reverse victim “death threats” card because it made a universally panned decision.

  • There is no honor amongst thieves. They’ll cooperate with each other as enemies of my enemies until they suddenly aren’t getting what they want, then it’s ‘No True Republican’ with them.

  • Shitty Executive: “Oh shit, our terrible idea turned out to be wildly unpopular and we’re getting massive negative feedback! Quick, play the death threats card to make us look like the victim!”

  • Knowing how despicable the worst of the gaming community can be, I have no doubts that death threats were real.

    I also have no doubts that the despicable CEO, like others of his ilk who receive entirely justified negativity for their stupidity, will milk it as an excuse to dilute the negative feedback and shift to victimization.

  • That’s because SNW is traditional episodic Star Trek whereas Discovery and Picard are serialized series. Serialized series need to constantly escalate the tension and threats so you tend to get super serious action drama. Meanwhile, episodic series can get away with doing stuff like “how would the crew react to the entire ship turning pink?”

    They both have their place in television, but Star Trek better lends itself to episodic format where you can have breaks to reset the tension.

  • Elon Musk is a privileged manchild who never grew out of his teenager phase, throwing around his inherited wealth like the kid from Blank Check and throwing temper tantrums anytime someone calls him out on his bullshit. Any claims to success he may have had been entirely in spite of him, not because of him. He doesn’t have any fucking idea what he’s doing and if any one of you or I failed even a fraction as much as Musk had, we’d have all been fired ten times over.

  • Everyone really needs to start jeering these people in every public space. On the streets, in stores, in restaurants, etc. Give them no peace while in public.

  • Republicans tank a thing.

    Unironically this guy “Biden did it!”
