I think back on some of the borderline retarded teachers I had when I was a kid

Remember when self contained episodes actually had a fully developed plot and story

only bond fans I know were feminist aunts tbh

Why is this the way things are? Are we just crazy to allow this to continue?

I like story arcs that fit one episode or one movie

Not just a long series of being strung along

not mulitiple

Bond and Stephen King ...

Story arcs done well are good but they’re a huge crutch for lazy writers

It's too much investment for shitty rewards

Deep Space 9 was good even with the black captain

For a while I was convinced the USA are only New England

it's one of the reasons black mirror is so possible

was a good while tbh

Star Trek can do long-form storytelling

Sisko was the shit

He straight up punched Q

I want shows like the outer limits back

he looked pooped

It actually caught Q off guard slightly

long-form storytelling that's still punctuated by character studies and monster-of-the-week episodes

Because Sisko is a prophet

His life is not linear

Like the archetypal symbol of the white man, Q clearly underestimated the savagery and inhumanity of Africans

God bless Starfleet

else Q had known the punch

What if Q shows up and helps out Picard

In the new show

deep space 9

By now it's just shameless nostalgia pandering

john de lancie is like 73

I kinda predict the kill off Picard at some point

Q trust the plan

And then soji will take over as main character

THERE ARE FIVE LIGHTS!

Picard: Well, if you say so then......

God

@DarthSammich That hurts

Imagine

When you put it like that
