I hope they do a Voyager video. You know Mike is itching to trot out a Neelix mask.

I'd rather they did DS9 personally, simply because it has way more excellent episodes. There's no way they could do 20 favorites and then guilty pleasures for Voyager. Voyager is mostly guilty pleasures with a handful of good episodes.

I don't get the impression Rich likes DS9 that much and Mike is constantly dropping VOY references though. I'm not sure how great a DS9 video from them would be.

I think it's a shame Sirtis had to wear black contacts because her character was a betazoid, because she had striking blue eyes that really contrasted with her Greekish features. With her black contacts in, she looked just like another goatbanger. This is just one more reason in the long list of why betazoids were the worst race ever...

Wasn't there a throwaway line in DS9 that Betazed had gotten destroyed in the war, and nobody seemed that upset.

Not the first time I've heard that opinion. David X Cohen of Futurama fame thought the same, if I recall the DVD commentaries correctly.

Worf is way more interesting in DS9, they gave the actor more shit to do. TNG Worf was LARPing as a klingon with honor while in reality he was raised by russian jews.

Conquered but not destroyed.

I like to joke that one hour with Lwaxana and the Dominion gave it back.
 
I'm surprised they liked Bly Manor as much as they did. I usually agree with the dudes but I found the whole thing a slog halfway and that black and white flashback episode the worse of them. And that ending that went on and on. Apart from the guy playing Peter Quint and a few choice moments, I didn't think much of it was special or interesting.

I also think it's funny they sang the praises of the show for lesbians when according to the actors the guy playing Peter Quint was supposed to be play the Gardener but they decided against it because the actors played twins in the first Hill House and execs thought it might seem weird for them to be lovers. When that's taken into context, it makes the gardener's dialogue make more sense since she sounds fairly masculine in a way women don't. Not even butch.

Mike and Jay point out political correctness taken too far, but they're simps when it comes to feminism and LGBT stuff. Mike grouching about male characters being given the "notgays" to establish their heterosexuality seems like a particularly sour batch of grapes for him. They work in a creative field, so I suppose it's to be expected, but it's also surprising to not see them going full SJW on everything when others in their field have done so.

Mike is just bitter Rich is in love with a girl.
 
Well I liked that they did their best to keep politics out of Borat 2 as best as they could. For the infamous Giuliani scene Jay just mentions he doesn't like Giuliani and some of the stuff he does is bad, but overall they spent most of the time showing that the entire interview could have been deceptively edited by Cohen to get the results he wanted. You learn a lot about editing in their examination of the scene, how characters speak with their heads turned to the camera so any line of dialogue can be inserted. Stuff that you might not have noticed at first, but your brain did.

Hell they even gave Trump and Pence a sort of pass by showing how they saw through Cohen's attempts at trolling them where Pence ignores him and has security escort Cohen out or how Trump just walked away when he saw Cohen was just trying to screw with him as Ali G. They tried to review it as a comedy instead of a documentary. I don't think I can fully agree with their take on Borat 2 but I like that they tried to examine the film through a comedy and film making lens instead of a political lens.

I kind of flipflop on this. On one hand, I see his point; on the other, it's really not that unusual for a person to casually drop a reference to their family or significant others, and you'd expect them to usually be heterosexual.

People who don't base their political ideologies on YouTube vloggers have nuisance in those ideologies. What a brain buster.
