I know!!! There needs to be more special needs kids and adults in comedies!!
OOooooooohhhhhhh, thanks for this.
I know that everyone thinks that Battlestar is the best sci fi show ever, but I think the Expanse is better than Battlestar. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the science behind teraforming and how well they do and have thought out the physics of everything. It really blows my mind how well the show is thought out and I love the characters, especially Naomi!!! She kicks so much butt.
Calm down, Clint. I get what they are trying to do in Westworld, I just find that it gets clunky and drags in places. It's not a bad show, but calling people idiots if they don't like it, that's a bit harsh.To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Westworld. The themes are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of existential philosophy, most of those themes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Robert's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Zarathustrian literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these themes, to realise that they're not just motifs- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Westworld truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Robert's existential catchphrase "These violent delights have violent ends," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as not-Christopher-Nolan's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Westworld tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid
As for my latest obsession, have any of you been watching the Hot Zone mini series on NatGeo? I am through episode 4 and I LOVE it. It's done so well. They make you want to crawl the walls when they show people interacting with others who could have been exposed. Maybe this is just because as a kid, I was in a lab looking through microscopes every time my mom brought me to her work (she worked as a med tech in a vet school lab, so I got to see all sorts of stuff like rabies), but this is such a fun series for me.
