No shit. That's the funniest thing I've seen in 2017!

Quote from: SirAndrewD on October 09, 2017, 03:38:16 PMGiven where we are, they have less in common with Trump and Republicans and remind me most of Nazis, ugly four nostriled sentient flesh eating Nazis.

Yes, but that's because you're sane.  ::) ;) The propaganda coming through western cultural nodes for at least the past forty-five years, and ramping up in intensity over the past year and a half (FOR SOME REASON  :buck2: ) pushes people to feel like Republicans are ugly, deformed, sentient, flesh-eating Nazis. In effect, and to some extent even literally.

It speaks to the mindset of that other showrunner quote, which is unfortunately typical in the cultural media: he looks at (and helps design) ugly deformed sentient flesh-eating Nazis, and thinks he's giving an edgy, novel, and topically important social critique of Republicans.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Huh... the vibe I got from the first episode was that Klingons were a caricature of ISIL not the Republicans.... holy sect bent on uniting a divided culture through war....

Anyway, it is getting better and the third episode was very good.

I managed to watch the first four episodes without thinking about Republicans once.

Hortas seem very libertarian.

They are very Libertarian and also very pro-mining.  :DD

I would expect that makes it 400 percent better immediately.  :arr:

I'm enjoying this - but I'm enjoying this as a sci-fi program. I'm not really getting the Star Trek feel...even though they've got the badges, the NCC designations and the bastardised music...I'm just not feeling Trekkie about it.

So enjoying it - but not as a Star Trek fan...just a fan of sci-fi.

Stop being sensible.  You're supposed to be wearing a three sizes too small redshirt t-shirt, rubber Spock ears and throwing rotten fruit at the screen screaming "Boo!  Hiss" but still watching it anyway. 

At least that's what I'm doing.
