Yes, it really captures just how big space is and how small we are in comparison. Subsequent films and series (even DS9) treated outer space much like an ocean, and the whole "Trek" concept suffered for it. The Federation, hell, the entire galaxy felt tiny by the end of the Berman era. TMP, on the other hand, made…

Same here. And even what many consider it’s downsides - the glacial pace, some baffling unexplained story logic, etc - all that made it so mysterious and engaging to little nine year old me, that it sits in my head right next to 2001 as films that transported me fully into something wholly alien. Will always love it…

I really hope the story has been updated.

Black Adam: Do you expect me to take you seriously? You’re just a big child!

TUAYPCW:

Remember when the comment scetion wasn’t full of people trying to shit on the AV Club every chance they get?

I think we all know the real culprit here was the one who, while at Harvard, smoked weed every day, cheated every test, and snorted all the yay.

WTF!? This is awful. She was a scene-stealer on Black Lightning as Syonide, “the girl with death in her eyes.”

“Wedding Season was not on my radar though. Rosa Salazar is great (I loved Undone a lot primarily because she was so good), so I will put this on the list.”

I love that this is what you’re mad about and not the fact that Kiwifarms has literally caused people to commit suicide. “Killing people is no biggie, but how DARE YOU try and inconvenience a company!”

This one is a goodie:

Bill Maher did a New Rule complaining about comic book movies back in 2005.

ESPN did a thing on the real life Peaches some years ago at Cooperstown, where the ones who were still able to travel were celebrated. You could tell a couple of them were still very tough, no-nonsense women.

I saw the Hall’s exhibit about ten years ago, and I thought it was really well done. But to my dismay, this is the first I’m hearing of the 2024 Women’s Baseball World Cup (a Facebook friend who posts about women’s baseball has been quite silent of late). So thanks for mentioning this! Alas, ““Fucking fuckers!” and…

If that dude really said so he also doesn’t know what “open source” means, because it definitely doesn’t mean “you can do anything with it”, it still has specific license terms depending on the type of OpenSource license (some more permissive, some more restrictive).

Yeah,  he seems to not understand how “open source” software works or how licensing works with open source code.  Not a surprise since these NFT bros don’t seem to understand how IP laws work either 

I'll be gutted when that show inevitably dies (which is clearly imminent) but I'm still pleasantly astonished it lasted so long and has such an endless joyful passion. 

This is all I care about.
