I’ve always been obsessed with how “and just to clear the air I ask forgiveness for the things I’ve done you blame me for / but then I guess we know there’s blame to share” is such a non-apology from both of them

Is there an academic or critical textbook with great analysis covering Deep Space Nine? It's such a rich show and I feel like there's an enormous amount of thematic ground that could be covered on a multitude of subjects.

1 yr anniversary of this post.
I have had much of the kumbaya aggressively beaten out of me over the past several years but if it’s any comfort whatsoever, I can at least say that every single time I thought nothing good would happen again I was wrong, and I’ve never looked back and thought “so glad I spent my time panicking!”

Colm Meaney’s arc on Star Trek is the writers gradually realising the guy they parked in the transporter room to press the energize button is actually a really good actor. By season four of TNG he gets a first name and a wife and also he’s a war veteran
was really weird watching ds9 first and then tng and learning basically all his entire appearances in the show is just this

The political conviction I hold most strongly - the belief that structures my life - is that the lemonade salesman from Duck Soup deserved everything he got. He was guilty of the worst crime of all, which is that he couldn't hang. He couldn't do bits.

Christine is such a sad movie. You get a cool car that unlocks your true power as a rockabilly and rather than be happy for you, everyone is terrified of what you’ve become.

I went to the Louvre once and enjoyed it but honestly if I was there and a bunch of French investigators rushed in and said “Sacre bleu! there has been a heist!” I would have had a much better time and would have given it five stars on everything

Straight people lack clarity of purpose, they walk without enthusiasm because they live without enthusiasm, drifting along like a leaf in a river, buffeted by social forces they have dedicated their lives to leaving unexamined
no but seriously you guys why do straight people walk so slow?

DC Comics has reprinted not one but two collections of Warren Ellis written Authority comics this year. For those who forget, Ellis sexually harassed/groomed/abused so many people the site about his actions is literally called SO MANY OF US.

But tell me more about DCs moral fiber.

I’m replaying the Arkham games and Kevin Conroy never gave a bad performance as Batman but I will say that at it feels like at some point during the recording for the first Arkham games he went “oh wait this is really good” and got more into it
