Being critical of your interests is sooooo fun when you have the critic gene & then you sound kind of insane to the average tv watcher when you're like "this is my favorite show, It's Racist" & then you try to clarify what you mean & get that [Speech (legendary) - FAILURE] "the racism is really interesting though"

[Speech (legendary) - SUCCESS] I find the sociopolitical context of pulpy old sci-fi born circa the civil rights movement really fascinating to analyze especially when it was progressive for its time but still reveals the writers' unexamined biases in the subtext

Now to the untrained eye you might be thinking. Wouldn't you rather watch a show that isn't racist? But that's the fuck of it all, nothing is free of The Context and The Subtext. Everything is lowkey racist. And I like star trek

people b saying things so definitively. like man i think it depends

Every year I watch that white boy go, with no way of warning him. No way of letting him know. Helplessly watching him devour his paprika chicken before journeying the road to his doom. Don’t go, white boy. Don’t go.

“I’m only saying this for foreshadowing purposes”

“this’ll make more sense when you meet your nemesis but-”

“shit that’s not in the script”

“i thought we cancelled this story arc”

“Probably gonna rewrite this later so-”

“oof that’ll hit the ratings”

“that’s not gonna make it past the censors”

“i’m still amazed this project got greenlit”

“in this political climate???”

Crazy how 6 years later, the quirky inserts just became mainstream vernacular. Aint that right, chat?

reality jumped the shark so bad the whole writer’s room got fired and now we’re all meta-aware
