Alan Tudyk would have been a good Stamets, but Anthony Rapp has been perfection.

And in strange memory caches, even death may die.

The dominance is in service to private profits. They keep telling about "America and it's interests" where the "interests" involved are profits.

Time for testing then 😊

Is there an option for being Evil Overlord List compliant?

The left wing of the right wing. Sounds right.

Seriously, has anyone heard of (for example) Alan Turing? That's a famous case of how the West treats queer people, and that's the snowflake on top of the tip of the iceberg.

And of course the image they use is Joseph Smith 🤣

This should be fun. Let's watch in real time how the ThEy ShOuLd FoLlOw ThE rUlEs people suddenly stop carrying about rules.

Honestly, they were more respectful of the source material even as they took creative license here and there. The format changes (live action, hour long episodes) favored how they wove plots together. There characterization was modulated, but not alien. Yes, Sokka isn't starting as a misogynist jerk, but they put his underlying insecurity up front.

Aang still struggles with the pressure of being the Avatar, but his empathy at seeing the suffering of the world and it's people gives him resolve.

Is it perfect? Nothing is but just as the LOTR film trilogy is considered a decent adaptation (and they changed a lot more), so too an I satisfied with this adaptation.

It should always be told with long-form storytelling; trying to do a movie was a mistake.

Insert joker eating popcorn gif here.

Ozai, son of Azulon, father to Zuko and Azula, the Fire Lord

His best known role is as a living weapon of religious zealots intended to take out a brutal dictator. This was shown as having no real effect because the material conditions weren't really changed so the people kept having to fight, sacrifice, and die.

His second most famous role was as a dangerously unhinged sadistic nihilist that canonically enjoyed the back and forth with his opponent.

His third most famous role was as the same kind of dictator that his first role would oppose. One that showed no qualms over killing anyone (kin included) in pursuit of power.

Just sayin': Not only should we attribute the features of characters to their actors, but even if that were wise, I don't think he's the guy.

I always got the impression that the medical staff doubled as life science experts and that was the reason for the blue.

I worked for them for about five years. This is accurate.

Why is it that even in the memes, O'Brien must suffer? 🥺

I love how the author starts making this about China and then drops this:

It is the Enlightenment against 21st century feudalism.

Then, after gingerly defending American exceptionalism, says this:

We must always try to align our values with our policy, and that’s not always easy.

Align values to policy. Not align policy to values.

They do get what's happening but are still in America, Fuck Yeah! mode.

I found myself wanting more from the video; favorite episodes/plot arcs/characters and so on. But it was still cool.

Why do I get the impression that this is part of basic Ferengi education?
