Stargate Universe got a raw deal. It was a really great extension of the overall Stargate mythos. Between SG1 and Atlantis, they'd basically gone as far as they could. The teams had defeated gods, both figurative and literal. They had limitless technology at their disposal and each new season became a slog to another deus ex machina.

SGU essentially reset the entire premise back to zero while keeping the overall accumulated canon in place AND it presented a much better conflict/goal than the typical "we must defeat these new powerful aliens before they destroy humanity".

But it didn't fit with the tone of the previous shows so a lot of the fans were turned off. Too much "drama", not enough zat guns. Plus that was the time when SciFi rebranded to "SyFy" and started showing shit like WWE.

I would LOVE to see them do another season picking up right where they left off. It would absolutely fit within the established timeline.

Severance is an amazing show on every level. Writing, casting, acting, design... every single facet is brilliantly executed. The season finale was insane. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

I haven't felt this excited for a second season premiere since the second season of Lost.

Not to mention Ricken. He may be one of my favorite fictional characters ever. He's an endless well of brilliantly mindless quotes:

A society with festering workers can not flourish just as a man with rotting toes cannot skip.

If you're as obsessed as I am, you should check out the Severed podcast by Allen Stare. Dude does a DEEP dive into each episode and it's a great companion to the show.

What else does a man need Rosetta Stone for?

Confusing two ongoing humanitarian crisis, when both are constantly in the news and both are impacting the popular perception of the administration is absolutely understandable. Confusing the current president for the guy who hasn't been in office for years, who has barely been in the current news or media lately... It's an obvious bad faith argument.

This is like the plot of the movie Happiness.

Did you even read the article? This is literally their playbook.

Or maybe the mods are actually moderating by cutting out the off-topic arguments and BS threads that don't contribute anything to the overall discourse of the discussion.

They missed their chance at marketing a BFD... or even BBD (big byte disc).

Which of those words would you consider "smart sounding" or "big"?

I look forward to the maga goons who will keep writing Trumps name in no matter the circumstances. Jail, dead, exiled to Moscow... they're a cult.

Also the very heavy and intentional use of pronouns.

How many spins?

You and most of your left leaning friends have been making a specific comparison between Biden and RBG for weeks? Can you articulate why?

Deep Thoughts... by Jack Handy.

Talking Heads: Born Under Punches.

Sick-ass bass riff, searing guitar intro... like Primus meets Tool... All combined with one of their best tracks.

I had literally never seen this dumbass RBG comparison until a day or so ago. Suddenly, in the past few days, I've seen multiple people use RBG as an argument against Biden.

This is absolutely astroturfing.

You took the ham.
