Can you imagine being too woke for Wokeflix?
Seems to be a thing with the Left. Weren't there also a bunch of tumblrinas complaining that the site is too "toxic"?

They will always find a way to cut themselves on the softest hugbox.

The thing about Tumblr is that while the format makes it incredibly easy to set up a hug box with your buddies, the people running the site don't actually give a fuck. Look how long it took them to do something about the actual child porn on their platform. It's actually way less censored than places like Twitter. If you go outside the stereotypical shrieking dangerhair circles, there are also communities of weird bronies, fetish blogs about every kind of sick shit you can imagine, and 1488 Nazis and all kinds of shit. The tumblrtards hate Tumblr because while it allowed them to set up their little safe spaces before safe spaces on other social media sites were a thing, everyone else also doesn't get instantly banned for wrongthink. Even though they never have to interact with those people or see their shit due to how the Tumblr block system works, the very fact they're allowed to EXIST on the site makes them rage.

Netflix is getting cucked hard over STD, which has become a huge money pit. They want to drop it, but CBS and Secret Hideout are threatening to slap them with a 200 million dollar cancellation fee if they do. :lol:

Relevant part starts at about 6:30 in this video:

Amazing turn of events. They'll probably fund a really cheap season and make them reuse effects and action scenes.

That would kinda make this the NGE of the Star Trek franchise. Groovy.

You've seen TOS? Star Trek is the NGE of Star Trek. The production values, particularly on season 3, left a lot to be desired

Next thing you're telling me they included several episodes with people dressed like Ancient Greeks or gangsters because they still had the props lying around from some other production.

Though I guess TOS is the more accurate NGE equivalent because it actually had good shit in it.

That depends on how you feel about NGE.

The quality of the TOS episodes written around costume and set sloppy seconds were very mixed. Patterns of Force and Bread and Circuses are dull slogs. A Piece of the Action on the other hand is pure self aware kino. I'm not sure if City on the Edge of Forever was partially written to recycle sets and costumes, but that's widely considered the non-ironic best TOS episode. While it is set in the 1930's for most of the episode, it does have some fairly intensive special effects, so it might not have been a cost-cutter.

Either way, TOS shows in both directions that it's not about the budget, but what you do with it.

Harlan Ellison never claimed so. I don't think they'd done an episode set in the thirties, at least not when Harlan wrote it. One of his (many) complaints, however, was that Roddenberry kept pushing the production date back. It was meant to be about the thirteenth episode or so and it wound up getting made at or near end of the first season run.
