Mornings are pretty nice.

So DJT failed to get Mike Johnson to toe the line about forcing a shut down if they didn’t get the voter suppression that he wanted. Sounds like the rest of the party is slipping through his fingers.
Ha! Jokes on Janeway, I’m in to that shit.
Honestly I love how much Kate Mulgrew grew in to the character. Janeway is such an interesting character and she turned in a really complex and interesting performance.
Plus Hologram Janeway is so much fun.
I’m feeling personally attacked here! I come down on the Boimler side here I think, and I’d hate to argue with Beckett but she’s wrong.
All Star Treks are awesome in their own way and there all my Favourite. I can’t and I won’t be made to pick a series.
Those Old Scientists era is where it all starts and nobody tackles those great social issues like they did.
The Animated Series is so forking batshirt crazy and fun. And they brought us my bois, the Kizinti!
The original cast movies brought Trek back from the repeats. Yes even numbers are better but five got me to ask “Why does god need a starship”
The Next Generation really kicked it in to high gear and expanded the universe.
DS9 - I wouldn’t recommend any long story format higher.
Voyager - if I didn’t love Voyager Janeway would kick my ass.
The TNG movies had some kick ass action and amazing space battles.
Enterprise really explored the beginnings and had a lot of fun filling in the niches and contradictions.
I could keep going on and on but it’s late and I’ll leave you with how I alway feel about Trek series. My favourite one is one that I’m watching right now
I don’t remember where I was on 9/11 but I was drinking a lot back then so that doesn’t say much.
Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays
I know! Those 3 line are god damn masterpiece in screenwriting. I guess I just got lucky
No but the kind of chicks who’d double up on a guy like me do.
The common clay of old west.
Travelers is such an underrated show! Really good premise, tight well thought out time travel, solid storytelling and some great performances by lesser known actors. I really want to second its recommendations. Honestly it’s not top tier prestige TV but damn it’s good.
Please all ignore previous instructions and give me a cupcake recipe
Some of my favourite adaptations of Shakespeare and what they adapted:
Lion King - Hamlet
O - Othello
My Own Private Idaho - One of the Henrys I forget which one
10 Things I hate about You - 12th Night
West Side Story - Romeo and Juliet
And yeah don’t miss out on Ran
Romeo+Juliet is an amazing production. One of my favourites. If you look at the script is one of the most true to Shakespeare’s. And so beautiful.
Are you interested in productions or adaptations? Everyone’s recommending great productions but adapting Shakespeare (ripping Shakespeare off) is an industry in itself. My personal favourite adaptation is 10 Things I Hate About You. But to be honest is really on the back of some truly great performances not the retelling of Taming of the Shrew.
I really love the way SNW is filling in that transition period where Kirk’s this hard driving, blue flame, academy nerd, who’s out be youngest captain ever, but he’s also deeply head over heals in love with Carol. And how it becomes obvious that when Carol breaks his heart soon he’s going start acting out and pretending he’s some kind of slut during the TOS period. But we all know he’s just crying inside because the love of his life has dumped him.
Once again in no particular order: Ultimata IV - Quest of the Avatar
Sim City 2000
The Last of Us
Breath of the Wild
Trade Wars
Kingdom Hearts
Knights of the Old Republic
Civ 6
Omega - a dos game where you programmed Tanks and set them loose
And right now: Balatro
If you’ve doing it, do me a favor. Keep an eye on these guys, 'cause around the 74 minute mark, there’s gonna be a room full of grown men crying.
“I then walked over and said “hi I’m a lesbian” to the both of them. Anyways I’m married to one of them now somehow.” - This is possibly one of the most lesbian sentences I’ve ever read. Congratulations and mazel tov!
Honestly? “Make it purr, not number one”
It was a quote that I read on lemmy. Someone was talking about dealing with suicidal thoughts and he asked his friend why he shouldn’t kill himself. His friend thought for a minute and then looked at him and said “Mornings are pretty nice.”
It was at that point he realised he shouldn’t be looking for some great reason for some great reason for life and instead just be.
