  • Battlestar Galactica, and any other time the writers are just writing down the rabbit hole without having any clue what story they’re going to tell. The writers of Battlestar introduced one mystery after another and worked to sell the audience on the belief that they were going somewhere good with all this. They had jack shit and I’m not getting that time back.

    Some other offenders:

    Star Wars sequels: how the fuck did that get greenlit for like a billion dollars without any living soul knowing what the plot was gonna be

    Mulholland Drive: fuck you David Lynch, explain this shit or GTFO. If I want dream logic I’ll go to sleep

    Lost: J J Abrams you spoiled little rich kid fuckass

    Times that didn’t happen:

    Andor: just an adamantine brick shithouse of storytelling














  • I had a community college psychology professor who worked in psychiatric research outside of teaching ask the class, “What is the shape of consciousness? What do you think it is?” He put a clever look on his face and his eyes scanned every perplexed student in the room to see if anyone could produce the simple, obvious answer to the question, “What is the shape of consciousness …”

    Finally he broke the suspense and enlightened us all. The shape of consciousness, according to a man who holds a license to practice medicine, is an oval. It’s an oval because you have two eyes and therefore your field of vision is elliptical.
