Star Trek is gay

Zero zero zero is a series about a drug shipment crossing the world. It’s pretty good and on prime.

Right up your “alley”.

Yes Star Trek is gay. In Picard, the big spoiler is that Picard and Data were buggering each other secretly the whole time.

In other news
I just watched that The Color of out Space movie.
I don't know what the fucking shit that was all about it, but it was crazy weird in a good way. Reminded me of some of the weird psych-out supernatural horror from the 80s, like Phantasm and stuff like that. Just weird, creepy and fucked up.

If you don't mind subtitles, Rise of the Phoenixes is very good.

It’s based on a Lovecraft short story if that helps explain the weirdness.

On Hulu there is a mock documentary or satire called the CSA confederate states of America about the confederate states winning the civil war. Kind of like the man in the high castle, it is set in an alternate universe and depicts an alternate history. Funny, sometimes chilling, and well thought out. It depicts an America that never entered WW2 and become friends with the Nazi's. Legalized slavery and went to war with South America. Where Canada is the bastion of freedom, human rights, and progress..

I watched a good show a while back called Deutschland '83. It's about a young East German army officer who is assigned to join the West German army and act as a spy. The Soviets think the west is going to attack them because of Operation Abel Archer (a real event in 1983 that almost started a nuclear war). It's really interesting, but it's in German with subtitles, and I'm not sure where you can find it nowdays.

Black Mirror (Netflix) - Lots of shows say this, but this really is a worthy heir to Twilight Zone made for those in the internet/iPhone age. Mostly dark but thoughtful takes on technology. Some of the episodes are true classics that stick with you long after you've finished watching.

Have they made a Season 5?

Yes, they have a season 5, but it's only 3 episodes. One stars Miley Cyrus (and a screenshot from her episode is often used as the thumbnail photo for the series because it's the most recent episode), which I think would tend to put some people off. Don't let it. I think as the show has gained notoriety, it's started to attract higher profile celebrities. That certainly gets more people to watch it, but its a double edged sword because it carries with it expectations/impressions based upon a given celebrity's reputation. And I'm sure it's a difficult show to write for, since you essentially have to create new characters and storylines for each episode, so maintaining a steady level of excellence is very difficult.

Anyway, the show is awesome, but undeniably dark (mostly though thankfully not always). I love (!) technology, and most of the tech displayed on the show is futuristic, but not THAT futuristic as nearly all of it seems realistically possible in the next several years. That's kinda what make it cool to me, since they carry our current tech forward a few generations to show how it could be used to impact our lives (usually in a bad way, but still...).

I'm already a huge fan of the series, just did not know there was a season 5. So now I'll be watching that.

I liked the series as well. Very much like twilight zone.

Yep, of all the shows that have tried to be like Twilight Zone, this one managed it right.
That said, season 5 was my least favorite one - esp the one with the video game dudes. That was strange.
