Re-Watching #DeepSpaceNine "Valiant" - I wouldn't want all #StarTrek episodes to be like that but the consequences made it powerful. A bunch of teenagers decide to play hero and it ends horrifically. As it would. They actually wrote out Kira from the episode because she would have saved everyone.

I tend to think of Tolkien orcs as halfway between demons and humanoids. My idea for orcs is that they are immortal like elves and reincarnate in the flesh pits of the chthonic underground where things like the balrog await Morgoth's return. No orc babies. #LotR #MiddleEarth #fantasy

I have the sneaking suspicion that David Cage wrote the Marcus stuff of DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN and that's why it's utterly bone headed take on activism while Adam Williams wrote the much better Connor and Kara stuff. #videogames #DetroitBecomeHuman

As Project 2025 proves, you can say a law will personally outlaw children and all of the existing ones will be turned into lunch meat.
At least a good 50% of the electorate will tell you it doesn't say that. That you're exaggerating. Then act SHOCKED when the children are turned into lunchmeat.

Episode 1x06 “Come, Let’s Away” was fantastic. I was iffy on it but its the episode that justifies #StarfleetAcademy's existence. If they'd started with this one, I think the series would be far better received. 9/10 #StarTrek #television

A criminally underrated movie is OUTLAND, which might as well be set in the Aliens universe without the xenomorphs. Its based on High Noon but has the twist that its arguable fighting the drug dealers does anything as everyone wants them there but the Marshal. #movies #scifi

I disagree with the placement of all these, including #Firefly. #DoctorWho is pure Left Wing chaos for example. Oddly, I'd put #BattlestarGalactica square in the middle. 50% of the time the military is correct and the other half the civilian government is. It also argued fixing elections w/ Baltar.

I think Deep Space Nine was the single most relevant and effective Trek by far. It just ironically predated the War on Terror that it now feels like a commentary on way more than Enterprise or BSG that actually commented on it. #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine #scifi #politics

HOW A NEUROATYPICAL BRAIN WORKS: *watches movie* Laura Branigan's Gloria plays, thinks about her song Self-Control, thinks about masked orgy in music video, thinks about Eyes Wide Shut, thinks about nicole kidman's plot in movie being unsatisfied, thinks about how she divorced RL husband for same.

I think the irony is everyone assumes Tyrion Lannister is the third of the dragon's heads because of the Aerys/Joanna "liberties". However, there's a pair of beautiful, insane, incestuous twins in the family already. I think George is setting up a huge twist that J+C=T. #GameOfThrones #Westeros

Bioshock 2's moral choices are actually interesting unlike, "Eat Little Girl/Save Little Girl." It's also building on the idea Andrew Ryan had pushback from people who didn't care for his libertarian objectivist state. Plus, I loved the early "badass and lil miss badass" story. #Bioshock #videogames

One of the things I tell indie writers is if you're passionate about any franchise, do your own independently owned version of it. It worked for 50 Shades of Gray and City of Bones. In the end, you'll make it your own by caring about the core than the details. #writing #writingcommunity #books
