RIP Escapist Magazine

Ahh Deathwish I haven’t thought about that in years but yeah it does have white flight, brown gangs, and one NYC architect-cum-vigilante savior.

Dare I ask you to go further?

What’s an extreme example of a crypto-rightwing-coded-80s-flick?

I won’t say no to more of this

My brutal but fair take:

I feel the bigwigs for Star Trek would sacrifice us all, in a heartbeat, for their own Grogu to get the kiddos buying merch.

Hell ya! One of Quark’s finest scenes:

They have weapons. You have weapons. Everyone has weapons. But right now, no one has a clear advantage. So the price of peace is at an all-time low. This is the perfect time to sit down and hammer out an agreement. Don’t you get it? Attacking the Cardassians now will only escalate the conflict and make peace more expensive in the long run. Now, I ask you, is that logical?

I want to believe in the age of enshittificiation that The Martian Chronicles will take on a new life.

It’s so bleak how it ends with highways and diners everywhere.

I hope this isn’t a spoiler, but this about sums it up for me:

Buckle up for S3! You are about to witness ENT come into its own and it’s glorious.

This is the real year of hell and they don’t pull any punches.

I think I want to rewatch 3x15 Harbinger again.

Wow. Detailed steps plus a script, you have my gratitude 🙏

Is this sorta stuff doable with free software? If so, can you point me in the right direction? I definitely have some scenes with this treatment in mind.

TNG character headcanon?

Worf is a narcissist. Reason: Kurn and Alexander were kept until no longer useful to him then discarded. #Justice4Kurn

Universe headcanon?

The Vulcans are augments and the romulans are the baseline diaspora. Reason: every time TPol was unphased by the anomaly because of her [superior] Vulcan physiology.

They can be archived without being playable

You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.

Imagine an archive for unreadable books, unwatchable films, and unplayable games too!

the best series finales are always double-episodes

I think you’re right:

TNG: 2-parter, check

DS9: 2-parter, check

VOY: 2-parter, check

ENT: 1-shot, check

DISCO: 1-shot, check

Romulans: Don’t Tread Mintaka On me

How about Elric of Melniboné?

How many more Targaryens and Geralts must we endure before this is adapted?

Yes a surprisingly fun and satisfying adventure. It really made me wish there was a video game in The Congregation setting.

Dal discovered Adreek’s skeleton, and we learn that Aurelian skulls have spurs of bone projecting from them, presumably covered by the feathers.

Me: Aurelians have…feathers?

Some searching later…

Me: Oh Aurelian not El-Aurian
