America runs on Dunk and Egg

You’re asking the brave questions

I have an appointment coming up and I’m sweating every time I check my bank account

Then once they’re on the hook show them The City on the Edge of Forever and you’ll make them cry and be fans forever.

A great way to get people into Star Trek is to show them The Trouble with Tribbles and then Balance of Terror back-to-back. It gets people to engage with the camp and humor and then be receptive to the kinds of stories important to Star Trek. I’ve done this with multiple people. It works!

A fun thing about Star Trek world building is in TOS everyone in Starfleet loves getting drunk in space. Then 80 years later in TNG they’re like “we no longer think it’s smart to get drunk in space but now we’re obsessed with chocolate and caffeine”

People in sci-fi novels are always naming their exploratory vessels shit like ICARUS and IXION and while I am not superstitious, I would maybe go with the USS GOT-THERE-SAFELY.

okay you're purposefully misunderstanding the point in order to feel self-righteous. got it!

lol are you purposefully misunderstanding the point to start an argument or genuinely confused

if you do this, i haven't come across it yet but will laugh when i get to it

there are fun ways to have characters talk to themselves, but i guarantee you it's never to explain things that are important to the plot. #scriptsky

and before you share a clip of a movie that pulls this off, you need to honestly answer these questions:
1. are you as good a writer as the writer who wrote whatever masterpiece you're itching to use to prove your point?
2. but...are you really, honestly as good that writer?

whenever a character talks to themselves in a scene, i instantly clock that the writer:
1. doesn't trust their story
2. doesn't trust their visuals
3. doesn't trust the reader #scriptsky

writers i'm begging you to stop having a character talk to themselves to explain their actions, thoughts, or motivations in a scene. it's always clunky. #scriptsky

The best part of any MST3K episode is when they just start humming along to the score of the movie

I wonder if there’s beer on the sun

lol

Just found out that my grandmother broke her back again. If I told you how many times she’s broken her back you’d think I was joking.

Accidentally bought extra crunchy peanut butter and considering ending it all

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

He did seem close to maxing out

This is self care

Gadfly: Was that the philosophy of the movie? You know, you mentioned all those great directors of the past. They all had a philosophy. What was your philosophy? La[deadname]: We think that not only gay people or queer people live in closets. Everybody does. We all tend to put ourselves into these boxes, these traps. And so what we tried to do is we tried to define as many of the characters through the sort of trap that they were making out of their lives. Getting out of the closet was meant to take on a bigger meaning than just the typical gay meaning.

i was reading an old wachowskis interview from a year or two after bound came out and this answer might be in the egg hall of fame. www.gadflyonline.com/archive-wach...

The fact that I have like 5 guesses as to who this could be is bad, right?

perhaps obvious but as trans folks who spent our childhoods closeted will know, alllllllllll the pressure in the world can't change what you *are*.

The Tholian Web rules so hard. Just top-tier Trek

So u r into it
