I'm going to blog about the TV I watch and what I think about it—not just new stuff, but whatever I happen to be watching at the moment. I'll sneak in some deep thoughts too when you most expect it. There could even be guest posts if anyone else is interested in writing.

Riker's Skank of the Week

Recently I've been re-watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. I don't think there is anything new to be said about this show, but there is at least one thing worth repeating: it's really disgusting seeing some new skank throw herself at Commander Riker every other week. Who wrote that shit? Is the idea to make Riker into a stand-in for the writer or the viewer, to play out his fantasies where some female on every planet instantly wants to bed him? It's unrealistic to the point of distraction, and it's gross. This show needed some female writers. Or at least someone smart enough to cut that shit out and leave it on the editing room floor.
