The TV Series Thread

[Sebastian Hawks]

Now I might be able to finish Twin Peaks Season 2, always wanted to finish that show. For those who have seen it, how is the revival series for 25 years after?

Warning: Spoilers

The revival series was terrible, David Lynch completely wasted Kyle MacLachlin's acting by having him spend almost the entire series walking around catatonic. I was expecting him to get his marbles back after one or two episodes of this but it went on the whole series. There was also a really strange episode that really had nothing to do with the town spending 5 minutes with CGI of the Trinity Test mushroom cloud. Really? Bob came from the other dimension by the atom bomb test? Didn't Hawk say the town had been evil even way back in the pre settler era according to Indian Legends? Also he has Leland and Sarah Palmer coming from New Mexico? Twin Peaks wasn't really the kind of town where outsiders move to, the Palmers were supposed to be from there, not transplants.

Then David Lynch himself became a camera hog, No more brief cameos like Alfred Hitchcock, he cast himself as a main character, that annoying hard of hearing guy from the FBI. You also can tell who was no longer working in the industry, they let themselves go and look like crap. Sherilyn Fenn was shriveled up like a raisin. The whole thing really didn't need to be made, sort of like that unnecessary Blues Brothers 2000 movie. Even the original show needed to end partway through the second season. The post killer reveal episodes were terrible.

have to say I agree with this. I kept waiting for the guy to stop walking around like a zombie and it never happened. Lynch can be hit or miss, but I guess here we see he should have never gone back. Btw the original Twin Peaks was a bit hit or miss too, after Lynch was no longer directing it kind of lost its way

Had no idea there was a thread specifically for series.

I'm not much of a series guy, but I've thought about watching Breaking Bad for a really long time, but only watched a few episodes of the first season years ago. Is it still worth watching? I've been spoiled on some stuff already.
I'm not a guy who cares about fanbases at all, but I feel the show was kind of ruined by zoomers. Every time I see someone on the internet talking about it nowadays, or having a profile picture/name of it on a game, it's a tranny. This would not go into consideration at all in me watching it, but it's something that made me think, and I now associate it with zoomers often. Zoomers don't even watch it, they literally just watch clips to fit in since there are a lot of meme videos of it on JewTube.

I feel the same about memes and hype around a show. But don't let that stop you from watching this amazing series. I don't even like TV shows about drugs, which is why I didn't watch it originally. But I kept hearing how great it was. I still put it off.

But then Netflix recommended I watch Better Call Saul. I didn't wanna watch that because I hate lawyers...and shows about lawyers in courtrooms. But I said, what the hell, I'll watch 1 episode. After 2 episodes I was hooked as it was unlike any "lawyer" show I've ever seen before.

After I finished that series, Netflix recommended Breaking Bad. Since there are characters in BCS that are in Breaking Bad, I said what the hell again. And again, I was hooked after only a couple of episodes. It's even better than BCS which is an excellent show in its own right.

So do yourself a favor and watch BB. No wokeness. Just one of the best TV series ever made.

Agree with you about BCS and BB. It might seem strange to say but you can choose which way around you want to watch this show. I watched BB first and then BCS but only because that was the order they came out in. You could easily watch BCS first. Forget all the memes and drug talk, these shows are about morality essentially, the theme is consequences for moral choices IMHO. I would watch either first but don't forget to watch El Carmino (the BB movie) last of all.

I thought it was brilliant overall. Yes it had some slow/boring/weird moments but there WAS a payoff to the whole catatonic Cooper thing.

I also think the ending was one of the most haunting I have seen in a show, even if I don't fully 'get it.' Lynch movies tend to resonate on this level a bit beyond comprehension.

First if all you don't "watch" Breaking Bad you EXPERIENCE it

I saw BB, yes it was good, but I have zero interest in a rewatch, there is no "humor" in it at all, nothing to lighten the mood. While you may think the show is about moral consequences for bad behavior, for the tens of millions of men out there with low IQs the message is quite different. "Its fun to be the bad guy." Even smart weirdos get caught up in all this dark stuff, would that guy in Idaho have killed those coeds in his modern day Leopold and Loeb thrill kill in a world where Breaking Bad were replaced with stuff like the Brady Bunch?

I had not watched the original complete Star Trek series since I was a kid. I just finished watching the entire series a few weeks ago. The writing and the stories are fantastic (although somewhat variable because of the use of different writers, e.g., the use miles and kilometers in different episodes). Probably the most red pill TV series that I have ever watched.

The Captain Kirk character is the ultimate Alpha male, yet he can control his fierce masculine impulses when required by his duties and responsibilities as ship captain. The babes are absolutely stunning -- and their curves accentuated by the mini-skirt fashion of the late-1960's.

The last episode of the series is very anti-PC. In the episode, Captain Kirk becomes trapped in the body of a mentally unstable woman bent on killing him and taking over his command in his guise, because Star Fleet does not allow women star ship captains. The ending is actually rather touching, with Captain Kirk lamenting that "Her life could have been as rich as any woman's, if only. If only [she had accepted her place in life as a woman]." Of course, here is how modern feminists see the episode:

Star Trek "red pilled" seriously? It was the same as most 60s stuff pushing an agenda, just the writers weren't so far gone yet and some normal stuff also is there in the episodes. Rodenberry was a big commie, his only redeeming grace was he was also a big womanizing chauvinist. I saw the whole thing in the late 80s after my Uncle bought the series and sent us his old VHS tapes where he recorded all the episodes of his local UHF rerun station (with all these vintage 1983 commercials.) I didn't notice much as a teenager then, but recently bought the blue rays for $60 after Netflix lost Star Trek. Wow can I see the goofy 60s thinking. That one where Kirk was being brainwashed by that evil doctor to be madly in love with some "Noel" chick that they spoofed on South Park. I had remembered it as a mental institution. Well it was a prison. When they entered it looked like a hotel resort lobby with the "inmates" just chilling about in luxury, they talked about "curing the criminal mind," etc. What the heck happened to the concept of punishment? Right there you see the dry run for our current "legalized crime" movement with no bail and letting them all out, Soros Prosecutors, etc. They tried that soft on crime stuff back then and were pushing for it with propaganda on the networks, the kind of stuff like giving Willie Horton furloughs, etc. Then there is a whole episode made about the quack theory that the reason the ghetto is poor, dumb, and violent is because of lead paint. The one with the people living in the clouds and a caste of workers in the caves below who are exposed to a "bad gas." Of course there are also some good ones, one of the most enjoyable is the camp episode lampooning hippies where the Enterprise picks up a cult of "space hippies" led by a guru who ends up taking them to a poisoned planet. In the meantime they act all goofy and stupid with dumb lingo mocking the foul behavior of the movement and they die from "acid" poisoning. The first season is a cut above the rest and has a different tone, they are exploring an empty Universe filled with the ruins of dead civilizations. None of this "federation" UN one worldism set in outer space that the franchise morphed into. The women actresses looked pretty spectacular on Blue Ray as well, Sherry Jackson in her revealing costume in "What Are Little Girls Made Of" has to top them out. Kirk is definitely someone who the "mee too" idiots would want to cancel, and the last episode rips on this "girl power" nonsense dominating Hollywood these days. But never the less, the thing is still full of 60s liberalism.

 

[TheLoneReader]

I always enjoyed Star Trek and it is definitely a reflection of its time. I would say it has a very “Kennedy-esque” optimism about exploration and the future. I think Gene Roddenberry became more of a liberal over time when the series grew in popularity. The man was a WWII vet who survived a few plane crashes and there’s an anecdote about him camping out at Desilu Studios with a rifle during the Watts riots in 60s to help protect the studio. It seems later on he fell into the pit of worldly success and fame and adopted more liberal views. Star Trek: The Next Generation reflects his updated worldview, however they had to tone that down as the show progressed because it wasn’t working.

Despite its flaws, I would pick Star Trek over much of what’s on TV (if I’m watching at all). There’s a great episode about a parallel earth that postulates what would happen if pagan Rome had modernized. It’s one of the few shows (especially sci fi) where Christ is directly mentioned and also as the “Son of God”. It’s amazing how far we’ve fallen when you know that kind of mention would be an “anathema” in the current Hollywood climate.



One line from the series that stuck with me from childhood is “…there’s a million things in this universe you can have and a million things you can’t have, it’s no fun facing that, but that’s the way things are.” It’s Captain Kirk telling a young teenager (who has godlike superpowers) the reality of life. Hearing that line from a childhood hero was a great lesson for me. It’s a stark contrast to what a lot of entertainment was saying, which is a “do what thou wilt” to get what you want philosophy.


I’d also recommend the Hornblower books if you like the idea of adventure, Star Trek was heavily inspired by it.

There is also a British Hornblower TV series (BBC maybe?). Its pretty good for light entertainment.

Me and the wife recently watched a couple streaming series. Both were reality series/gameshows. The first one "Traitors" is a remake of a Dutch show that follows the model of Among Us/Mafia with some Survivor-esque physical challenges/puzzles thrown in. 3 players are "traitors" competing for themselves, the rest have to uncover them to keep any of the prize money at the end. It was pretty revelatory I think about human nature and the ease with which some of the traitors were able to take others in. Perhaps a lesson in not trusting every smiling face there. It was okay if you like that kind of thing.
Next we watched a Korean import called "Physical: 100", warning that the women are not modestly dressed. 100 contestants from different sporting backgrounds (bodybuilding, cross-fit, wrestling, strong man competitors, and various others) competed in punishing physical challenges to determine who would be the best overall physical athlete. Reminiscent of Ninja Warrior and Squid Game. If you liked those, you will probably enjoy this.

In my naivete, I started to watch the highly rated "The last of us". Before the second episode, I read somewhere that one of the main characters, a teen girl, which is uglier than Greta Thunberg and even more annoying, is surprisingly also non-binary. Despite that, I wanted to give it a chance and kept watching.
Big mistake. In the third episode, there is a good guy living alone, his perfectly equipped prepper life, and he saves from a pitfall trap some other guy who fell in.
A charming new guy takes a shower, and the prepper invites him to dinner.

My homophobic sensor begins to feel something nefarious. And rightly so. After dinner, the guys play piano, and suddenly they start kissing each other because surprisingly, only two people survived in that area, but they must be just sodomites.



But not all is lost for SHTF series fans because there is a Russian equivalent, and much better. But be aware, there is some nudity.

Any Star Trek fans on here watching season 3 of Picard on Paramount Plus? I'm a big fan of TNG and it's been nice seeing those characters get the send-off they never got during the movies, which were pretty bad. I'm not a fan of Nu Star Trek-Discovery, Lower Decks, or Strange New Worlds- but I think season 3 of Picard is pretty decent.

I'm not a fan of Nu Star Trek-Discovery, Lower Decks, or Strange New Worlds- but I think season 3 of Picard is pretty decent.

It's been nice seeing the show and the characters written properly. Seasons 1 & 2 of Picard were so woke, anti-white and in-your-face spitefulness of masculine heroes (in this case Picard himself constantly being berated) that they were unwatchable and will forever be. I've never finished either season and don't intend to. This season has been a breath of fresh air.

Also, as a note to going woke and going broke, this latest season shows that the woke stuff was not selling and, in the show itself, they are practically ignoring anything that came from the first or second season. A whole new team of writers that seem to respect Star Trek and the more positive/aspirational aspect of the Star Trek universe have been brought in and it shows. It's been refreshing to say the least.

The studio (Paramount) seems to have learned from their mistake with the first two seasons and appears to be eager not to repeat them. It's been said that Paramount as a whole seems to be coming out of the dark cloud of wokeness having released the new Top Gun movie to great success last year, as well as the Yellowstone show. There simply is no profitability with being woke.

I feel sorry for Star Wars fans who have seen Disney hack that property to death, with no indication of turning the tide on the woke garbage. Star Trek in this case seems to be in a position where it has to correct course because it does not have the massive cultural following of Marvel or Star Wars and the built in money draw of consumers buying whatever has the respective property's label on it. Star Trek fans are a finicky lot and if it doesn't measure up, they won't buy it, even if "Star Trek" is on the label. Star Trek Discovery (another woke crap fest that came out in 2017) was just cancelled to great jubilation by fans.

I recently made this mistake.

I came across a post on a MAGA forum of someone mentioning Mr. Robot. Gave it a shot. Couple episodes in softcore homosexual porn with the white heterosexual villain pounding away at a sodomite to get a promotion or something. It repulsed me so much I actually felt violated. This is going to be the case for everyone who gives these 8.2 imdb shows a chance. It's insane how pervasive it is.

I've really enjoyed the reality TV show Survivor over many years. Obviously nowadays half the cast are homosexuals, trans and "people of color" but they got close to 30 some seasons of very charming family entertainment. Many men discount it because it's "reality tv" but the older stuff is really fun. For those that don't know it's basically an elimination game of random people living in the jungle.

I will never forget season 30, looking it up from [2015]. They had a contestant who proudly identified as a Christian. He ended lying or something and everyone jumped down his throat at how he's such a despicable person, a total hypocrite and renouncing their friendship. It was quite unusual for the show and a bitter overaction. Well the guy went on a challenge streak making it impossible to vote him out and ended up winning the whole thing to everyone's open dismay along the way. I don't think I have ever experience the level of satisfaction seeing it happen and how absolutely against the odds it was. It felt like I won the lottery or something. You can look it up on youtube if someone wants.

"Unfortunately" the show has this "problem" a lot. White people, especially white men win, often. It's constantly highlighted on the show and they've been desperate to change the rules to alleviate the "problem". It happened again just last year or something. Some strong, independent white woman was favored to win by the leftist fans. Nope, the white quirky male doctor wins the show and donated his winnings to veterans, as everyone had to grin their teeth. Absolutely hilarious.

We're on the same page about both Star Trek and Star Wars, which I wish had ended in 1983 with Return of The Jedi.

There's a unrealistic anti-authoritarian streak in the new Star Trek shows where junior officers can make wisecracks at the expense of senior officers. You can see it in the trailer for Strange New Worlds. That's the crap that I don't want to see in Star Trek. It's annoying and it's not how any kind of military operation runs. Fortunately Season 3 of Picard is a step away from that.

Picard season 3 is the sequel to TNG and DS9 that I always wanted. It's not perfect but as a life long Star Trek fan I'll take it.

I used to like it too. Haven't watched it in many years. They had already gone Woke before 2020. I liked Mike Holloway. I find that I like seasons where a guy like that wins out because more often than not you have a group of gays, geeks, and girls conspiring to vote out the alpha males. That's what they did to Joe Anglim (another conservative) since they were worried he was too good at the competitions.

That show was absolutely disgusting. Pulls you in. Subjects you to the writer's disgusting world view. Leaves you with no pay off (you can't write a moral when you're a complete f____t). Perverse.

I’d also recommend the Hornblower books if you like the idea of adventure, Star Trek was heavily inspired by it.

Star Trek is great. It's slop but at least it's comfortable slop. TNG and Enterprise are good too.
