i just learned that line tv appears to deal almost exclusively with gay boys love webdramas thats a very specific niche for a streaming service associated with a worldwide mainstream messenger application

apparently linetv has more intuitively appropriate content if youre like watching it from thailand but they only bother to pick up the international streaming rights for gay boys love webdramas

lol this rules



I had no idea that bl soaps were a thing in Thailand

The fact that the character even exists in the story is such egregious horseshit. Making her the one voice of reason working against the evil government suppressing information about the accident to save face when the reality was scientists from across the country working together to fix the disaster is so loving gross.

uh excuse me i think youll find that science is always just facts that all scientists agree on and never argue about

Also that stupid Holodomor scene has the old lady in it directly compare the soldier trying to save her idiot life to the loving Nazi invaders.

Telling a PRIVATE CITIZEN to get away from a possible radiation hazard. Oh the authoritarian horror.

if she's a nuclear physicist why is she hanging out in the dude's office instead of working with other scientists trying to fix it? Like one of them plane crash movies where the pilots are in a coma and the one guy who can fly the plane is calling his senator to bitch that everyone is gonna die.

i dont think the writers even realized that having an old Ukrainian literally call it the holodomor meant that they were asking us to sympathize with an actual nazi

Craig Mazin is a massive tool. He and a group of showrunners tried to undermine a WGA strike from within about a year back.

wait does she actually use the word holodomor despite the rest of the dialog presumably being in english

is holodomor even a word you can use naturally in spoken ukrainian like that would anybody in ukraine at that time have recognized it as a proper noun as opposed to just a generic word for starving to death

The whole of Chernobyl basically boils down to this tweet:
the whole thing was about lions led by donkeys. This could've been a good point about Soviet bureaucracy and about the need to return to the more democratic communist roots, but instead it was just classcism and sympathising with nazis.

That's still the most sympathetic portrayal of the SU, however, simply by not portraying every inhabitant as either Ivan Drago or a monster straight from nazi propaganda.

There are some creepy rear end Troi/Crusher episodes. I don't remember if it was this episode or another one but Tori and Crusher are both having a conversation while doing yoga stretches in yoga outfits for no reason.

Apparently the reason Crusher didn't appear in the 2nd season was because she was being sexually harassed by a trek writer and refused to do the show.

these fuckers can seamlessly intertwine organic minds with machines and transcend what is thought to be the speed limit at which matter can be conveyed through space

and they are just like "doo dee doo, we spent a week hanging out and they lent us some books and records and we are going to stay in touch"

The giant wizard head wanted the crew of the enterprise to construct a giant fancy pipe, fill it with hash, light it, and the put it in his mouth. He would then thoughtfully puff from it while making “mmm” and “ohhh” noises. Perhaps the occasional “ahhh.”

Picard said no, because smoking is bad for you.

Negotiations broke down from there.

they could have just made it so that barclay merges with and takes over the ship in order to alter the deflector dish to open a subspace channel with enough bandwith for the head to appear in the ship instead of doing to ultra warp travel to the core of the galaxy

if these giant heads are wizards capable of manipulating and bending space and technology and biology to their own ends, why are not the giant heads kicking the borgs' rear end?
