Following up on last weeks video (link below), let's discuss how Star Trek handles trauma when felt by an entire community.
2019-11-28 07:11:43 +0000 UTC View Post
Star Trek rarely shows characters deal with trauma on a long-term basis. Yet, there are two notable examples of Trek characters dealing with long-term trauma on-screen; Captain Picard and Hugh Culber. Let's discuss how Picard and Culber give us a clear discussion of PTSD and how one begins to walk the path of healing. TRIGGER WARNING: Discussions of trauma, assault, sexual assault and PTSD symptoms.

After their appearance at the Austin Film Festival discussing the final season of Game of Thrones, if feels like our anger at DB Weiss and David Benioff isn't going away anytime soon. Yet, is that hatred justified, or are there deeper issues at play?

Below is my current new proposal for Patreon benefits that will go into effect starting next month. I'm posting this now to get any feedback, that anyone may have and to outline what changes will go into effect for everyone who is currently a Patreon. This isn't final and may have some tweeks before they go into effect, especially once I hear feedback, so let me know what you all think!

With the latest update on the Star Trek Discovery lawsuit, I felt it necessary to throw my throughts out there on what I find to be a gross misuse of narrative. However, before we go there, let's dig deep into what this lawsuit actually means, as well as learn a little bit about copyright law along the way.

How can you take the most memorable villains of all time and make them completely forgettable? You "straighten" them up for live-action, that's how.

Many have argued that the latest Joker movie may inspire violence because of it's "sympathetic" portrayal of a loner justifiably becoming the Crown Prince of Crime. Yet, the movie certainly isn't condoning that behavior. How can a movie be so misinterpreted, and what are the responsibilities of the creator?

2019-09-09 16:29:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons! Thanks again for once again supporting me for another month. I know I say it every time, but thank you so so much. The past few months have honestly been incredibly difficult for me on a personal level, and one of the few positives that kept me motivated through all of this was having a creative outlet and knowing that there were so many wonderful people supporting me to keep doing it.
So now that things have finally settled down, I've decided that I want to take some time...
The developers behind Ion Fury are complaining they're being censored after promising to remove homophobic content, then backtracking it after they were review bombed on Steam. But what really is censorship?

For those of us who have already seen Marvel Studios' hugely popular Avengers: Endgame film, one of the many moments that definitely caught our attention was when the MCU's badass women (like Captain Marvel, Valkyrie, Scarlet Witch, Wasp, and Okoye, just to name a few) all shared some epic screentime together. But as cool as that scene was on the surface, was it really all that empowering, especially when you consider the ways the MCU has treated its female...

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that Jon Snow never deserved the become king. So let's discuss why.
