This and the wooosh with RATM's music, have me thinking a lot of people experience media differently than I do. Just a series of unrelated pictures or sounds that make a feeling. These themes seem core to the show and presented fairly directly. Or I maybe watch too much TV and need to get outside more :)

I've got a friend that fast forwards through films and only plays the parts with fight scenes, car chases or explosions then he will tell people the film is shit if there's not enough of them.

That sounds so sad.

I swear people that don't watch trek think it's just about lasers and technobabble.

I know people that refused to watch Discovery because 'they made it all woke and now it's all about women'.

Discovery has problems (I still like that show), but being woke it not one of them...

This. I don't watch Discovery anymore because I couldn't stand a lot of the characters but it had absolute nothing to do with progressive views.

I'm sure they also watch Starship Troopers and completely miss the fact that it's a satire.

That's also the problem with any kind of forum that satirizes conservatives on the internet: sooner or later, it will get flooded with right wingers who completely fail to understand that they're being made fun of, and who will start posting the satirized content in all seriousness.

Eventually, the original people who started the venue leave, and what's left is just another right-wing echo chamber.

I think it's the problem with any good satire. It's such good satire that it just becomes the thing it was caricaturiazing.

Way before '89. More like when it first aired.
