90s filmmaking tropes are the reason

I was lucky enough to see the stage version in Chicago when I was in college. Listening to it still gives me goosebumps every time

Does your employer know you ask stupid questions and embarrass them on the Internet?

He's Ted Cruz but with brain damage.

Is there anything more satisfying to listen to than the Tonight quintet from West Side Story? (Rhetorical question)

Also creates a larger number of martyrs. Great planning to cause a war that lasts for years

Funnily enough I get β€˜live action lower decks’ vibes from some of the lighter SFA episodes, which is probably a good thing.

Nobody cares what you think

I’m also just talking purely from the writing point of view. There haven’t been any clunkers or obviously bad episodes, and that’s rare for a Trek first season.

Starfleet Academy seems to have one of the best first seasons going of any Trek series ever, maybe with Strange New Worlds as the exception.

There’s nothing to β€˜buy’. History is history. There is a direct line between what we did and where Iran is today.

It’s security theater. GAO has already reviewed this and it does nothing except waste time and money

That’s not a valid criticism, it’s a bunch of horseshit

Doesn’t matter. Every time you take away agency from the people that actually control things you do damage to our democracy.

100% weird. The only people here that can actually stop this are Republicans. Trying to say that democrats have any agency, for something that they have already said should be stopped, is extremely weird.

It’s not bad, you’re just old and racist.

He watched all his friends die. Literally every human he befriends will die in front of him. Thats plenty to be afraid of

Is it an ominous sign when you get in your EV in the morning and your radio is stuck on 40s music like you’re in an episode of Fallout?

We’ve seen this show before and it still ended up with Collins winning

No we can’t, because that isn’t what it is. Just because the art isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it’s AI. Thank you for confirming that you’re still claiming this is AI though. Confirms the type of smooth brain you are.

It really isn’t. We can see the work. Continuing to insist there needs to be an explanation or imply that there’s still something fishy when we can see the WIP is insane

No one asked for an explanation, you all jumped to β€˜this is AI, shame on paramount’.

Are you just going to spam this nonsense on every post? Because you and the others on here were proven wrong. Just be quiet already.

You people are pathetic. Just stop. It isn’t AI, it isn’t bad.

There was a well known ST artist on here that blocked me when I asked for proof of his claim of it being AI. It never looked like AI to me, and calling everything AI can be very damaging if it turns out artists were involved and didn’t use it.

Uh, but we have actual hard evidence that it does work because we used to do it. And those years were the most prosperous in American history.

It greatly bothers me that the court is using the incorrect acronym for the Department of Education, which is ED, and is using the one for the Department of Energy in its place.
