For the average person, not having watched these shows is perfectly reasonable, but given you work on a pop culture SF site...seriously? What the actual fuck? The Rick & Morty one in particular is just weird; you could watch every episode in a long afternoon.

Stargate SG-1 is DEFINITELY a must-watch. Hell, the show is a constant fixture on the TV channel Comet, which is free to watch both online and via antenna, and recently restarted, currently on Season 2. It is so much fun and has some genuine good character moments. While there IS story progression, the show doesn’t…

Did you ever figure it out? It’s really much simpler than you might expect. Static electricity holds aluminum powder to the back of the glass. The dials control a stylus that scratches away the line you use to draw. Shake it and the aluminum is reapplied to the glass.

The man’s name is Rubik. Ernő Rubik. Whatever a “rubrik” is, it isn’t related to Rubik’s Cube. :)

When I was a child I could make a kick ass profile of stairs.

Just being a Nazi just means you’re a shithead, not that you automatically belong in jail.

People saying that Star Trek shouldn’t be optimistic is the exact same thing as saying that Superman or Captain America shouldn’t be paragons of good.

The BIGGEST! It’s the biggest, best tab you’ve ever- people say to me all the time, they’ve never seen such an amazing tab, it’s beautiful. They tell me it’s the biggest tab in the history of the country. You’re not gonna hear about that in the media! All they’ll say is “Oh, Trump, he’s spending- he’s doing bad!” but…

A little gritty realism and some skepticism is fine. But Star Trek has to be (overall) an optimistic look at the future. If I want corrupt leaders and failed institutions and tragedy, I can watch the news.

In fairness, the optimism of Star Trek started fading once Roddenberry died. 

That’s getting to be a BIG goddamned tab. 

I’m glad he’s recognized that we don’t simply need another new TNG. For one, everything mentioned here. For another, Seth MacFarlane has already taken care of it.

Let’s just add that to Trump’s tab: Killing the optimism that Star Trek used to embrace.

Some Star Trek fans will see this as the ultimate heresy. To them the whole point of Star Trek and the linchpin of it’s success is embracing optimism.

I don’t even remember the narrative context anymore—I think it was Crichton fighting Scorpius’s mind control—but just this morning I was thinking about the episode that was half animated as a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, and how I remember thinking at the time that this was one of the most brilliant TV shows ever.

I still love when Stargate did a parody of Farscape since the 2 main actors joined the show lol

I have two 10-year old Papillons named ‘Moya’ and ‘Talyn’. Their AKC registered names start with ‘Our Little Leviathan...’. These dogs need to live forever because, well, I love them so very much, but more importantly, I’m never going to top that in the dog-naming department. 

Indeed I don’t think people realize how much of a one dimensional villain he could have stayed but the show not just fleshed him out but tried to redeem him as a complex being and not a cardboard cut out.

Don’t forget Captain Crais, too! And he gets what I think has to be the all-time best ever death scene on film, in any medium, ever.

Really? The Pegasus swooping in for a Galactica reveal? There is only one jaw dropping reveal from Galactica... and it’s a doozy...
