It is the dumbest part of this adaption and it really kind of ruined it for me. Seven or so episodes in and I thought it was really well done..then it puts a matrix computer in it to blame which defeats (like you said) the entire point of the novel. The entire point is that humans did this to themselves. Then with a…

It also makes his criticism of race consciousness misguided. In the world of New London, the entire point is they just do not even have the basic building blocks of thinking that way to even begin to see that some betas (or people of the other castes) may be treated differently because of race. If they could…

I mean granted, “brave new world” can be used as a general phrase and Shakespeare quote, but saying “Even in a Brave New World systems are violence” is like saying “Even in 1984 the government oppresses.”

I believe that show as called Futurama

To think, we live in a world where this gets produced but the TV adaptation of John Scalzi’s Redshirts has been languishing in development hell for years.

There’s been a glut of new Trek content recently

The trailer was enough for me know that I wouldn’t like this. When I initially heard they were going to make a show about the lower deck ensigns, I naturally thought back to the TNG episode. The reason why that episode worked so well was because we already knew the upper decks so well. So when I thought they’d maybe…

We already saw what the writers of Futurama were capable of with Star Trek and it was...really great. Just an all-time classic episode, really.

Yeah, the first episode of this sucked pretty hard. Loud, frantic, noisy and annoying show’s overriding tone. The dialogue is delivered in such a ridiculously rapid fire fashion, as if to disguise the fact that it’s not actually clever or funny or worth listening to.

The writing is atrocious. All the rest could be amazing and it would still suck with the awful, awful scripts this show has.

A cute puppet turned meme doesn’t mean the show is actually good.

The Mandalorian fucking sucks. It has some of the worst writing on TV this side of “Penny Dreadful: CoA.”  There are at least 30 more deserving shows that could have taken that slot.

This article seems to be more appreciative of what Cursed ‘represents’ rather than its actual quality as a show. After watching 2 episodes, I’d personally be embarrassed to recommend it to people. I mean... It’s pretty bad. There’s better YA out there, better fantasy out there, and better female-led shows at there.…

Sorry, I’m afraid the only acceptable version of the Arthurian legend is Monty Python and the Holy Grail,

I wanted so badly to like this show, because articles like this make it sound like the definition of My Shit. But it’s honestly terrible. It’s rare that I can’t force myself to finish a season of genre trash, but by episode 2 it was already like pulling teeth (yes that’s an in joke to prove I did give it a chance!)

If I might make an attempt at nuance here, the idea that many psychiatrists are too quick to throw pills at something and call it a day is both true and a big problem. I speak from personal experience - I struggled for years futilely against clinical depression with a series of RXs that never much helped until I…

I really like Beatrice and Camila, but Mary is good too. I do NOT like Lilith 

Just watched it. Nah. If this were more like Buffy, it would actually be good.

As a man who’s been in a domestically abusive relationship and told by several of the women in my life to “man up about it”, fuck you.
