me explaining goncharov to my mother: so tumblr made up this scorsese crime film and they're arguing about its themes and-

my mother, completely deadpan: well are they reviewing the theatrical release or director's cut.

me:

my mother: what does frances ford coppola think of it

star trek beta that i WISH had made it into the show: janeway being a cardassian prisoner of war. a decent proportion of her crew is maquis! her first officer and chief of engineering are maquis! she is someone who has an intimate understanding of how cruel the cardassians can be, and you can't tell me that after that happened to her, she didn't follow cardassian politics closely. what's more, it's the reason she even switched to the command track in the first place. that incident was massively formative for her, and i just wish we could have seen more of how that clearly would have impacted her relationship with at least chakotay and b'elanna if not the rest of the maquis crewmembers.

I ran into an article on a documentary called Return to Narnia that covered the BBC production from the late 80s. I grew up with PBS doing re-runs and it will always be my favorite version of the thing (most likely). The documentary is included in a new blu-ray edition of all the films that's available only on the UK version of Amazon, so far as I can tell.

I don't know if it plays in every blu ray player, but it works in my PS5.

A few clips:

Let's go to the pub!

They cover every movie. They go to several locations which I didn't know were actual places still. If I ever go back to England, I'll have to look into it.

seen a lot of discourse about fanon Janeway being feral versus canon Janeway being very diplomatic

consider: canon Janeway would LOVE to be fanon Janeway. she admits in Year of Hell that her instinct is rage and violence when she threatens to decompile the Doctor’s program if he tries to relieve her of duty.

when the Srivani push her to her limits in Scientific Method just to see what happens, she does in fact open a can of whoopass on the scientist in the brig (hell yeah).

Canon Janeway does indeed want to be violent and solve problems with her fists and punch her way through like people say fanon Janeway does. The real difference between the two is that Canon Janeway has a tight leash on her morals and ethics, whereas Fanon Janeway is occasionally depicted as willfully disregarding them.

That base instinct to punch and bite is the same in bothhhh, thank you for reading the intro to my 25 page article on the topic.

Did the internet erase a lot of the generational gap? I see people talk about 'Gen-Z' or whatever. I'm like, everyone is an icon to me. And we all talk about the same crap. I could be talking to a sixty year old or a 19 year old and be vibing.

But the platform gap.

My parents didn't know our slang. Had no real way to know it. Now, if your conversation is flying over my head, it's cuz I'm not on Tiktok.

Plot bunnies. Plot bunnies everywhere.

Watched an old foreign movie. Did some light reading on the history. And it just so happens I’m re-watching Firefly. Concept just fell out of the sky and into my lap like God dropped it there.

If Fiona Dourif were to play Lon Suder’s daughter in some iteration of Trek, that would be the perfect merging of at least two of my obsessions.

It's been almost two decades since I was obsessed with the buffyverse, but I still jumped in my seat when I saw Drew Goddard as the co-writer for Project Hail Mary. 'I know that name.'
