Doctor Spaceman posted:This article is very long but it makes a good case that Kirk in the TV show isn't really the character that people think he is, especially in terms of being a womaniser. That article starts off okay, but then starts massively overreaching.

The mean the whole Kirk isn’t really a womanizer thing makes sense as most people just point to one instance of loving an alien chick which is in public consciousness more because she was an alien than the fact he hosed a lot

Didn’t they kind of run with that in Khan though? What with his preppy love child. I can’t recall if he had a romantic interest in the first one. I can’t recall anything from the first one.

tbf that might've been the director's own kinks emerging in the final cut, i mean there's no other way to make sense of a 5 minute sensuous space dock sequence without the director actually whispering slower you slut to the fellas editing it but then again, the early conflict was the fallout of kirk's reaction to the enterprise finding itself a new

Felicia ‘Snoop’ Pearson is a badass that grew up on the real streets of one of the most hosed up places in all of the US. The Wire is one of the very few shows that almost never belongs in this thread. I guess you could complain about how some scenes are silly with how close the police get to and/or are watching suspects. And the ease with which Herc and Carver can plant big ole WiFi-extender sized GPS unit on a car without it ever being noticed is a bit goofy. But the show itself is still completely solid and paints a picture of how things really work that hasn’t lost any of its credibility almost 20 years later.

I rewatched it recently with my girlfriend and it made everything else seem cartoony and hackneyed to us (well, the first four seasons, at least). I don't know if it really is 'the best tv show of all time' but it's easily the best I've ever seen.

In School Hard, early in Season 2, the vice principle is talking to the police and they agree they're going to report a clear vampire attack on a parent-teacher conference as gang members on PCP.

Season 5's made up serial killer is a little doofy and Brother Mouzone is a little comic booky, but even with some of its flaws it's still the GOAT. Haven't done a rewatch in a few years though. Probably should

There’s a reason The Wire only came up here because of the discussion of casting oddities. That show has aged like a fine wine.

Apparently the character the real-life Jay Landsman plays on the Wire is named after and based on a real BPD police captain, making the chain of Landsman stuff I mentioned on the last page even weirder!

There are undeniably supernatural things going on around them, but the Addamses themselves are mostly not shown to have any kind of supernatural abilities, they're just completely used to weird stuff happening around them all the time.

imo they do not canonically have supernatural powers, like the magical stuff that happens around them is unexplained. it's more like metaphorical magical realism and cartoony hijinx than that gomez is a warlock or something
