I read Atlas Shrugged when I was 19 at my dad's suggestion. He didn't give me a reason why I should read it or what I should think of it; I think I must have expressed some dissatisfaction with the way America worked, and he said "here, read this and think about it." I should ask him now what...

As much as I love Q as a character and his relationship with Picard, I hope not. That relationship is over, it ran its course throughout the series and everything Q was there to help Picard understand was done by "All Good Things..." Of course I'm not thrilled at the idea of another Borg...

I started off very skeptical of Picard, but the trailer does reduce some of my fears. Even the small bits of Picard we get really seem like the same guy from TNG, and as long as it stays true to that at the core, any stylistic updates and tonal changes are fine with me. I'll watch the first...

Mortal Kombat (any installment) People kill each other over and over but no one ever dies, there's some extra dimension that keeps trying to invade earth with 4-armed monsters but always lose somehow, everyone likes Subzero. Soul Reaver So I've never actually played this game, but I've...

Let's see... the French Revolution. A huge population of desperately poor people rose up against the elite ruling class that had abused and exploited them for decades, stormed the Bastille, built guillotines and executed thousands of people. Who is right and who is wrong? Obviously...

In some versions of the myth Pandora was the first human woman, made by the gods as essentially a punishment in and of herself, in addition to her box of misery (because women are trouble, get it?)

I can tell you this. Until the U.S. election of 2016 I felt and did the same as you. My vote didn't matter, I was one of millions, all the candidates are garbage, I never even bothered to learn enough to make and informed decision so didn't it make more sense not to bother? But I did vote in...

And this is why it's been allowed to happen.

IT'S LITERALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. Of course it's not just as simple as taking a poll asking "should we abolish democracy?" and doing what the results say. It's an entire process of undermining the rights and ability of political opponents to vote against you. Gerrymandering has crippled...

Firefly had a movie, remember? It eventually did get a real ending, and a pretty good one. Also, I see that criticism of TNG a lot and I don't really get it. It was definitely stronger in seasons 3 and 4, but season 6 was fine and 7 has plenty of decent episodes. Really everything after...

That's pretty much what I meant. Rygel does one thing, which is resolved at the end of part 1, then just does background stuff and a bit of comedy for part 2. China I honestly can't remember doing anything really significant beyond reacting to stuff. For sure Jool and Sikozu get screwed, the...

Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars So I watched Farscape on Netflix about 3 years ago, but Netflix had made the critical oversight of not buying the series-concluding miniseries, so I never saw the end of the show. Amazon just started streaming it so I finally got to see the conclusion, after a...

Which sexual predator is going to produce it?

Okay, I didn't say that a racial analysis of every piece of media is inevitable for everyone. I'm just speaking to debates like this one. Most people don't see EVERYTHING in regards to sociopolitical theory, but most people see SOME things in that light. This particular trailer set off a...

I have recently noticed this weird disconnect between what the conservative right considers racism and what the liberal left considers racism. The left (where I land) will look at a game like this, see that there is no representation for anyone who isn't white, and have a negative reaction...
