I’m happy you have found a program you like to watch, but I feel like I need to point out that no one is forcing you to watch ST: Discovery and also pay for CBS all access to watch the show. Feel free to stop watching Disco at anytime.

Yes, it’s a zero-sum game. You can only pick one show to like, can’t like ‘em both at the same time for different reasons.

IT’s using the song as a statement on politics, fair use doesn’t necessarily have to be about transforming the work itself, it can be placing it in a context that adds additional meaning.

Lol. Using a song for background music is pretty obviously not fair use. It's not a parody, it's not commentary on the song, it's not using a clip of it for educational purposes. It's pretty clear cut copyright violation, moron. 

They did not recontextualize anything. They used a copyrighted song as background music. That is one of the clearest violations of the dmca there is.

It’s actually not clear at all. There’s a decent chance Carpe Dumbass would win a lawsuit, but Youtube likely just doesn’t want to deal with it.

He was good, but everything reported on set about him almost ensured he wouldn’t be asked back to reprise the role. I mean, you can only be so much of an asshole before people start saying “no”. 

He’s been excellent. He shows so much awareness befitting a captain behind a folksy demeanor. Who wouldn’t want to work for someone like that?

By the way, did they mention that The Last Jedi is the worst movie ever made and that Ghostbusters 2016 ruined their childhoods?

That’s right, folks, it’s the obligatory ‘Orville is better than Disco’ thread.

“tHe OrViLlE iS tEn TiMeS tHe StAr TrEk ThAt DiScOvErY iS.”

No it’s not. Anyone who says that doesn’t know Star Trek. They just know a few episodes of The Next Generation. Anyone that’s seen TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise knows that Discover is very much a Trek show.

While I was watching the episode last night, it occurred to me that we might be seeing the background for the Genesis Project. I’m not completely sure yet how they’ll bridge the technological gap between the Mycelial network and the Genesis Device, but I can’t shake the feeling this’ll all connect to Genesis by…

She plays a magician in the syfy show Magicians! It’s literal magic, I bet she’s just playing herself.

I think what annoys me more is they (like my parents and millions of other Americans) can only be convinced to vote based on their taxes and nothing else important. 

Oh God, that story about the person staring at the sun is nightmare fuel. 

Watching Rent as an adult is kind of like watching The Little Mermaid as an adult. I still find it enjoyable, because I love the songs, but mostly I’m just questioning why people thought they could get away with not paying rent in NYC, and feeling kind of bad for Benny the whole time. Yea, I know he made an agreement…

At the risk of taking us back to the Jurassic era, they could build a wireless device where the battery could be swapped. Someone could instantly gain 100% battery life in a few seconds and the phone could still be without any ports.

The 2+ hour long wait times for every ride in the Pandora themed area plus the insane crowd that I experienced a few months ago seem to back Disney’s decision so far...
