Will never get over how gutsy it was to save the "Stan confronts the Jennings family" scene for the SERIES FINALE of The Americans. So many other shows would have burned that in, like, Season 4. Or at least the midpoint of the final season! The _series_ _finale_.

The problem with the franchise for me is that a lot of them are a mix of plebs and celebs but they are D-grade celebs. I like Celeb UK because I know most or all of them. I don't want to watch Traitors US because it's mostly reality TV stars.

Normal British Traitors is also great. The very first season of Traitors Australia is a classic (amazing game play from the Faithfuls), but it's all downhill from there. Second Australian series is generally considered the worst season of any version of the show.

I just don't think, in an article about the LNP and the Greens running in the opposite direction, he should have been quoted at all. But yeah, he's right about the "sensible centre".

The only good thing about a 4am alarm is the international flight we're up for, but there is a small pleasure in getting up before the cats wake us up for once.

Memes on my wedding day
The Mean Girls meme about October 3rd but it's about our wedding day. 

"On October 3rd he asked me what day it was

It's Em and Keith's wedding day!".

Feeling pretty pleased with my new haircut and beard trim. Had to stop myself from saying "your arm is complete" when she pulled out the straight razor.
Me with a new haircut which keeps the curls intact. And my beard, shaped and sculpted with straight edges.

Completely. There is very little I like about PIC S3 and I used to love those characters. (How is it that the most moving scene for me is between Seven and Tuvok?)

Excited to be chosen as Leader of the @greens.org.au, together with @stephhodgins-may.bsky.social as Deputy Leader. Now is the time to build the Greens as the home for all who want climate action, a fair return on our resources, a secure home and income, and to not sell out to the US or the 1%.

i agree with the key point here and will add to it that there IS a reward, it’s knowing you did one right thing instead of walking around plagued by the nameless shame that afflicts all men who are determined to live the most frictionless lives possible

Does he not remember that Star Trek is supposed to be set in a utopian future where humans have evolved beyond the need for an HR department? But truly, everything he says/does proves his lack of imagination. "Oh we gotta do this to keep it realistic..." on a starship that flies at warp?!

It’s really funny that executives cannot accept that what people liked about heated rivalry wasn’t the romance and hockey but it was explicitly the copious amounts of gay sex!!!

I really think if it had been mindless nostalgia (the gang get together to investigate eight weird planets-of-the-week) that might have been better than "let's saddle the TNG cast with a DS9 plot AND bring the Borg back AND re-write the David Marcus plot for Jack Crusher AND..."

Listen, I have huge problems with Discovery but at least it tried something new. I think that's why I love SFA best out of the new shows because it was its own thing but also felt like Trek. Picard and SNW are dragged down by comparisons and references. You cannot make TOS again! You cannot be TNG!

Keith Gow @keithgow.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
For all this complaining about SNW's gimmick episodes, I would actually rather that than the reheated "everything is a reference" storytelling from TM.

Here is my pledge: if M*t*l*s returns to Trek, especially to run the franchise, I am out. Hurts to say, but his Trek also hurts to watch.

I don't even think that writers should plan things just to make them resonate, but I don't think these writers recognise them when they do. It's nuts.

Keith Gow @keithgow.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Just like they gave Pike an illusory life to live last year should probably echo or resonate with his eventual fate, it's probably just an accident. Or it's lazy.

This is fucked and the Australian Writers Guild is investigating the repurposing of Neighbours content into another form without paying writers, at the very least.

Actually, "you can only settle down in a fake reality" is actually an amazing premise for a character. The SNW writers have never known what to do with that idea or his knowledge of the future. (And how will they tell the end of Pike's story on the show?)

Wild that one of Pike's defining characteristics is now "only gets to settle down in a fake reality"
