i still dont know much about him other than he is yet another holywood type with some #metoo accusations against him. he was very annoying and as you pointed out tried so hard to be on of the cool kids and it just made him even more unlikable.

there are even good edits people have done such as removing him form the episode. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ayVDS6KLs1E

I'm not fond of this Stalin-ing of people, no matter what they did.

Also the funny of Landis asking about the stock footage and Rich answering about stuff is lost this way

SG-1 is good up until about the end of Season 8. 9/10 got kind of heavy handed and drug on for too long.

SG-1 reminds people how good Star Trek is. In the first 6 episodes, 3 are about feminism and in those episodes if woman could do what men could do the episode would be over. Like oh, god, my ex lover thinks he is a god. Woman can't shoot him, but in man version of episode man shoots woman. It is peak 90s PC cheesy dreak.

I can see why people see its fun, but at the same time it is terrible.

Compare the first 6 episodes of TNG to the first 6 of SG1....

Fun fact: The worst TNG episode: Code of Honor was written by Katharyn Powers, who also wrote the worst episode of SG1: Emancipation. Both involve non-whites kidnapping a white woman.

Thank god Seth MacFarlane never hired her to write an episode of The Orville. Ever. The Orville also reminded me of how good both Star Trek and Stargate used to be.

I've noticed women seem to be way worse about inserting their fetishes into their writing than men ever were. Like that awful TOS episode The Empath with Kirk, Spock, and Bones enduring S&M for the sake of some boring woman.

The spreading horror show of the SFWA thread should disabuse you of that notion.

Not something I'm familiar with, Can you give me the TL;DR?

Essentially, a huge swathe sci-fi and fantasy writers have been loathsome groomers, pedophiles, predators, and joyful addicts of every sexual deviancy you can imagine for most of the last century or so. Frequently these urges make their way into their work, often poorly disguised as "just the way it is" for alien or fantasy societies. Think John Norman's Gor, which spawned its own BDSM subculture; or Jack Chalker's various transformation fetishes plastered all over his books. There's a thread about the writers' guild of SF/F writers, which has been a hub of such degeneracy much longer than it's been a hub of shrieking wokeness.

EDIT: Ninja'd by @Flexo, who points out how strong the pedo element is, which I did not because it depresses the shit out of me.

I loved the first couple of Xanth books when I was a preteen until they got repetitive. Rereading them now, there's no way the author isn't a pedophile. Teenaged girl's panties are explicitly described and even part of the plot of every book.
 
Cant wait for their review of Picard Season 3 episode 2.
