the underlying message is that if you have trouble making friends and are good at video games and solving kings quest graphic adventure puzzles then its because you are a genius and are probably the reincarnation of sun tzu and the eventual savior of the human race (much like that other picked-upon fellow, jesus christ)

not hard to see how it picked up the audience that it did

I feel like the underlying message is that no matter how smart and special and good you are people in power can still cynically manipulate you into achieving their own sinister goals, you just described the plot

in this episode of star trek, data is unsuccessful in inducing an emotional response in himself by viewing erotic images, so he's created a holodeck borg which he is repeatedly choking out in an attempt to feel something.

i mean my point is that he clearly hated being associated with star wars and only agreed to force awakens so that they could finally kill him off

like you'd think he'd stay far far away from anything scifi franchise-shaped

but yeah i guess he is really high like all the time. dude has an earring now too like so much parrothead lol

there was one good star wars movie out of, what, 10 by now? and all these disney movies caused millions of weird nerds to create a fandom around a single good disney movie or some poo poo

Interstellar is terrible, though. It is the canonical example that Christopher Nolan produces films where the sun is less than the total of its parts.

its very good and got better as they started balancing the lower decks and the command crew in the later episodes

being a sitcom it is freed from the problems that plague picard and discovery and feels a lot more like tng especially once they found their joke/storytelling footing
