Also, I hate to say it, but these are indeed the scenarios in which the author's principles/worldview come through loud and clear. You can write a villain, you can write an anti-hero or an ambiguous antagonist, but if you then treat that character like the very unambiguous hero...? Yeah, I'm gonna look at the author sideways.

Here's the thing I keep trying to articulate and possibly failing: I don't actually mind characters who are terrible people. I have enjoyed many. What I mind is characters who are terrible people while the narrative keeps trying to say that they are wonderful, often contradicting what the narrative shows us, with no self awareness

Some of you have never gotten superpowers from an alien device that then forced you to choose between enlightenment or death, and it shows.

Some of you have never been host to a Goa’uld and it shows

We must also remember that some old "literature" is actually crap that just happened to survive by circumstance, then got retconned as highbrow literature by virtue of being old. We have this habit of viewing the art of the past as inherently more refined, even if it was considered churned out copy in its own day.

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

This is exactly what has happened in like 12 different shows I can think of readily. Probably more. We all know why

Rodney and John have absolutely no chemistry with any of their love interests because they accidentally made them each other's love interests but were too cowardly to admit it

Ooh! Ooh! And of course the Cardassians or some other hostile group is on the station for Reasons, and every scene just increases their confusion about why Starfleet people apparently consider a plain white mug to be precious and spiritual (they're talking to it!). By the end, Quark makes a fortune selling them mugs.

There should have been an episode where Odo gets zapped while shifted into an object and the zap does something to his morphogenic matrix so he's stuck like that and the whole episode is everyone doing their best acting scenes with a mug or perhaps a bag

I love the TV show's added touch where you can 100% tell when MB is trying to sound like one of its serial action heroes swooping in to save the day. Like it so obviously hyped itself to come in there and deliver that line. It was rehearsing it in its head the whole walk back. And then it expected some kind of big theatrical reaction but instead they just stare at it because they're real people going through something instead of its fav fictional characters.

So then it's like. Hmm that didn't work. Let's try it again, more gusto this time, come on murderbot you can do it, alright here we go-

"I have...a...plan?"

And the only reply it gets that second time is the mumbled equivalent of gurathin saying "oh FUCK no" which is BRUTAL

Cringefail robot my beloved.

I think people should have to chug down all the water they waste every time they order the plagiarism machine to churn out one of these stupid pictures.

People will look back on fashions 100+ years ago and think of them as frivolous, non-functional, and the result of social pressure, which has some truth but like...

Half the US is boiling alive right now in 100+ degree heat indexes, and yet how many hats do you see? How many parasols? How many hand fans? Almost none.

Because in 2025, people would rather burn than "look silly" in a wide brim hat, or come off as some old movie lady by carrying a parasol/umbrella, or daring to wave a collapsible fan under their faces.

In many ways, we are more worried about fashion and aesthetics now than we ever have been.

Never sleep on the thrift store! I found a 3-1 printer, scanner, copier on sale for $21. It still had ink inside and works perfectly. Best part? It's an older model that doesn't have any of that required subscription/account crap they foist on us now.
