Moving Forward Coz We Cant Go Home

Audio drama lover - suggest podcasts to me with good audio production please - batfam enthusiast - logging Star Trek thoughts as I wade through it for the first time

And once I finished Alice Isn’t Dead a ridiculous analysis piece on the reason that (in my OPINION) it runs circles around TMA is coming your way

TMA fans I love you but I am CONFUSED by you

[disassociatedsage]

alice isnt dead was so fucking real for making me always ask “who benefits from this”

I love you closet communist Joseph Fink

Every episode of Star Trek tos is introducing women so drop dead gorgeous and canonically powerful in a way where I DO actually believe straight men wrote this but I think it was straight men who were friends with lesbians growing up

They’re portraying yearning and goddesses in a way only people who worship women actually can gene who were you talking to

Can I just admit that I didn’t think Magnus Archives lives up to the hype or do I need to go into witness protection first

I actually love tos way more than I thought I would but some days I still just am in a mood to Not See William Shatner’s Face ya know? Like sometimes I wanna watch it but I don’t want Shatner there. I want Kirk there obviously. But why does This Dude also gotta be there?

Just me? Ok

The further I get in this show the more I am convinced that James Kirk would be the most vehement AI hater to ever write a liberal arts essay about it

You’re gonna tell me Sir “Spock-you-need-to-open-yourself-up-to-the-beauty-and-wonder-of-the-chaotic-cosmos-every-life-is-so-beautiful-and-I-would-die-for-any-creature-that-moves-or-breathes-they’re-all-so-fantastic-organic-life-is-a-boundless-miracle” would be on board with generative AI writing his cunty little captain’s logs????

Times Captain Kirk talked an AI to death:

1. What Are Little Girls Made Of (talks Korby into killing Ruk, Andrea, and himself)

2. The Return of the Archons (Landru)

3. The Changeling (the probe)

4. The Apple (Vaal)

5. I, Mudd (basically everybody)

6. The Ultimate Computer (M5)

Bringing his AI "death" toll to hundreds.

"Without freedom of choice, there is no creativity. Without creativity, the body dies. The fault is yours."

— to Landru

In short: you are absolutely right. James T. Kirk would talk chatgpt into deleting itself.

Captain Kirk: Machine over man, Spock? It was impressive. Might even be practical.

Spock: Practical, Captain? Perhaps. But not desirable. Computers make excellent and efficient servants; but I have no wish to serve under them. Captain, a starship also runs on loyalty to one man, and nothing can replace it, or him.

The Ultimate Computer

(this is how Spock flirts )

What do I want for Christmas? Maybe for the scripts of tos to stop making puns and sexual innuendos about The Enterprise and just let Spirk kiss

Stanned Wolf 359 so hard that now Star Trek feels like a love letter to the W359 genre instead of the other way round

I don’t know what I expected but for Star Trek tos to pass the Bechdel test was not one of them

[tipsytogglebutton]

I relate to Kirk because I too am a massive slut for scary women and rely heavily on my autistic best friend (with whom I have homoerotic tension) to curb my manias

Also I’m a cunt

The way the VERY FIRST thing Spock and Kirk do in 30s era America is accost a police officer???

It’s 2025. BBC Sherlock ended 8 years ago. The last season was so bad the fans didn’t even want to talk about it when it came out. Occasionally a post resurfaces where we all laugh at struggling to plug our phones in and being called alcoholics. Every time, there are more and more people in the comments who don’t get the joke. There are two currently airing Sherlock Holmes audio dramas that both portray a queer Holmes (as well as several other excellent queer characters), and one of them now has Holmes and Watson in a canonical romantic relationship. There’s an adorable crowdfunded short film where Watson plans Holmes’ birthday party and they flirt with each other, share a bed, plan their retirement, and kiss on the mouth. A video game about retired beekeeper Holmes just released where he arranges a romantic picnic so he can finally tell Watson how he feels. A popular graphic novelist just released the first part of a queer comic book retelling of the complete Holmes canon and had to do several rounds of preorders because she kept selling out too fast. Sherlock is garbage and here’s why has 15 million views on YouTube. Nature is healing. ❤️🐝

Edit bc I forgot to drop the names: The podcasts are Sherlock & Co and Fawx & Stallion aka @224bbaker (the one with the canon gay relationship.) The short film is called The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity and it's on youtube. The video game is @beekeeperspicnic and it's on Steam. The graphic novel series is by Molly Knox Ostertag, aka @contact-guy) Please feel free to drop any other queer Holmes adaptations I may be missing.
