I still think GoT is worth watching until the end of S6, the battle of the bastards is a fantastic episode and seeing Sansa’s arc play out was pretty satisfying. Then it went to absolute shit.
Not really, but it’s a nostalgia watch for me. It wasn’t an issue when I watched it the first time, and it’s more about what the cast was doing. Wheadon didn’t even write or direct every episode, so it’s hard to really say he ruined every moment of work from maybe a hundred or so people.
If you can seperate the author from the work, then yeah. There’s nothing I can remember from a recent rewatch that’s like tastelessly pervy in it. It does handle some mature themes, there’s some episodes that deal with like SA and stuff like that, but it was handled with levity.
That said, you’ll probably still cringe a bit because there’s parts of it that are so blatantly late 90s/early 2000s that they’re just funny to think about now. stuff like the “internet ghost” is incredibly dated.
Better shows to watch:
Buffy
The Wire
MST3K
Survivor up to season 16
The New Girl
GOT (stop mid season 4)
Broad City
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
Survivor was never good tbh
Or all Star Trek media released prior to 2009.
In a single sitting.
After 2009 it gets more hit or miss. There’s still a bunch of worthwhile stuff though.
DS9
Edit: Babylon 5! Acting is hammy but the story is great!
You’re right.
I do love 65% of SNW, though.
I really enjoyed the first two seasons, but had to stop after the holodeck episode.
A holodeck… in the prequel to TOS. Just WTF.
I thought it was hilarious. As a pure hommage to old trek that episode was amazing, and it didn’t try to be anything else.
Yeah to bad they never finished it
“Legend has it, they’re still fighting to this day!”

RiffTrax (MST3K) Aeon Flux. Trust me. Thank me later.
Does the Wheadon sex pest stuff ruin Buffy?
I haven’t seen it but was a Firefly fan, and some of the things in that show now make me cringe.

>sexual assault, it was handled with levity
As it deserves!
Hell yes. Is there a decent quality version somewhere? I have some potato quality divx on a spool somewhere.
Sailing the warm ports can reward you with a dvd rip. PM me for details.
Better? Or same?
