You realize though, you're making the exact same kind of joke (ugly/short, hot wife) that Danielle is criticizing (rightly) everyone for? Can't be that she's attracted to him. No must be some sort of magical spell He cast on her. No beautiful woman would ever be attracted to a short man.

I guess it's a fun story to watch but it's ridiculously inaccurate in almost every single way imaginable.

I cannot imagine a single circumstance where I would go up to a woman alone by herself, in my car, and make sure she knows how attractive I think she looks. That does not seem like normal behavior to me.

The only reason I know Pete Conrad, is because he is mentioned in Apollo 13!

If we are being honest, the Founders agreed the government exists to serve the common good... BUT they disagreed sharply about how much authority that purpose justified. Hamilton and Madison were arguing about it almost from the start!

What about respect for established institutions and the accumulated wisdom of previous generations? I know that probably ties into your point about "suspicion of radical change", but I was taught this was the core of conservatism.

I feel like it's all just engagement bait. I've pretty much completely muted every single account that posts something along the lines of "THIS IS IT THE WHEELS ARE FINALLY COMING OFF TRUMP'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED!" People have been posting that literally since 2017.

I wish this had more cultural relevance, because I often am tempted to give a big "SASSY!" when someone is being an edgelord, but I'm afraid no one will get the reference.

That really is an excellent point. I think most Americans do not understand what reactionary means, and there's a lot of words they throw around casually (and incorrectly) when really what they mean is "reactionary".

The question isn't why people enjoy reading about characters leveling up. It's why a series that looks so ridiculous on the surface has developed such extraordinary emotional depth and loyalty among its readers. Carl's compassion, rather than his growing power, is the real foundation of the series.

This piece recognizes that fans care more about the characters than the stats, and that Carl resists the very system he's trapped in. Yet it reduces the appeal to the comfort of measurable progress. It seems the author truly does not understand, or even like, the genre or why "Carl" works.

Maybe he'll talk about bringing back the Greek tradition of Erastes and Eromenos. IYKYK

I saw "Choosin' Texas" trending and assumed it was something stupid from Paxton. Sorry Rolling Stone, I have never heard of the artist or the song. (This whole thing is probably just bait, though)

Not every concept episode this season was a home run. The people who don't like Once La'an a Time, just don't like fun.

You say from beginning to end .... but I tried to watch it after hearing everyone rave about it all the time and I found the first couple episodes pretty off-putting. Does it get better? Or are the first few episodes representative of how it is the entire way through?

Dark is the best time travel anything ever. Movie, Book, TV Show, Long Form Poem, hands down not even close. FIGHT ME! "It's too confusing" Boo-hoo. Time Travel is messy, especially when you bang your aunt/sister/brother/uncle/child/former roommate ... deal with it.

What's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you. I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer. So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

Wikipedia says that designer John Zabrucky retained the original as part of his personal archive. There is fundraising underway to house the device and other iconic props in a dedicated sci-fi museum.

The first part of that sounds like a really outstanding episode I'd like to watch. Actually the second half of that sounds like a really outstanding episode I would also like to watch.

One of the very few times that something that happened in a previous episode is referenced in a future episode. They needed to do that more often. Such a great call back with Minuet.

I actually really liked the Fairytale episode of Strange New Worlds. I know there have been a lot of hijinks this year, but this one worked. Pretty Short. Fun. Christina Chong is very good and enjoyable to watch as La'an x 2. Plus Princess Bride references.
