Seriously, I'm fucking fed up. I'm going to blow up and get it out here and now before I hold it in any longer and give myself a fucking aneurism.
I really enjoyed Battlestar Galactica, and I've seen Katee Sackhoff in a few good things since then, so when I saw the promos for the "Another Life" sci-fi mini on Netflix I was really looking forward to it. Sure it's derivative (aliens send a probe to earth, humans must figure out alien signal, humans send ship to talk to aliens) but it still looked like it might be something different otherwise. All I was looking for was some mindless entertainment and if it went beyond that, so much the better.
And less than 10 minutes in I got my first clue that it was going to be a piece of hot woke garbage.
I fucking gave up 25:00 in when a we're treated to a male crew member wearing fucking stiletto heels on a god damn SPACE SHIP. If your character in your story is gay, fine, no problem. WHEN YOU RUB MY FUCKING NOSE IN THE CHARACTER BEING TRANS BY PUTTING HIM IN STILLETTOS ON A SPACESHIP WHERE YOU WOULDN'T DREAM OF PUTTING A FEMALE CHARACTER IN THE SAME FOOTWEAR BECAUSE IT'S MORONIC, THAT'S CALLED PANDERING, YOU FUCKS.
But let me back up.
Initially we're treated to a very lengthy scene of Sackhoff's newly chiseled abs and ass waking up from a sci-fi nap and stumbling out into a hallway. Seriously, the camera dwells on her ass for a full 20 seconds. Full disclosure, this is pretty much the only part I didn't have a problem with, I just have to point it out to show how all over the goddamn place this show is in its first 30 minutes.
Next we're treated to the rest of the crew, using eco friendly metal straws to drink out of DISPOSABLE plastic bags.... WHAT THE FUCK? Why god damn reusable metal straws that weigh as much as an entire box of plastic straws, for disposable plastic bags, on a god damn SPACECRAFT? Fuck your disgusting, mold encrusted, bacteria farming metal straws you beverage Nazi's.
During the next scene, it's pointed out ad-nauseum that the crew are ALL 20-somethings (played by 30-somethings), and they distrust Sackhoffs character because (gasp) she's over 30! One character even goes off on a monologue about how people turn to shit after 30... no joke.
Then the science, they're off course due to running into a "cloud" of "dark matter"... for fuck sake, if you know NOTHING about science, please don't literally take a steaming shit on a keyboard and call it science fiction.
I've had it with this shit. It's like everyone in entertainment is on a mission to out-woke each other. It's ruined Arrow, Flash and Legends of Tomorrow for me ( I didn't even bother watching Supergirl anymore after they LITERALLY started naming episodes after liberal slogans) and it's now seeping into every fucking show I try to watch.
THERE'S NO GLASS CEILING ANYMORE, you don't have to make EVERY NEW CHARACTER into a WOKE MEME just to prove that you're on their side.
I had to give up trying to watch Legends because they somehow even made it creepy watching 2 hot women make out (both played by straight actors because apparently they couldn't find 2 lesbian actors that could act) I mean seriously, HOW DO YOU MAKE 2 HOT CHICKS KISSING SO CREEPY THAT A STRAIGHT MALE WOULDN'T WANT TO SEE IT? It's literally every straight mans favorite thing to watch, we can watch it for hours, its scientifically proven to lower blood pressure and relax the male brain. HOW DO YOU FUCK THAT UP?
FUCK YOU HOLLYWOOD.
All I want is some good entertainment without the fucking blue haired, snot encrusted nose ring wearing loser trying to force feed me their batshit crazy political views. I don't' give a shit what your chosen pronoun is. I don't give a shit that you like to cross dress so much that Hoover has become some politically backwards fetish hero for you. I don't fucking care that you're still crying every night because the worst political campaigner in modern history managed to lose to a fucking reality TV star. You're a fucking idiot for thinking you're going to save the world by using a hemp woven reusable bag at the grocery store, and you're an idiot for thinking that cramming your script full of extremely narrow political views will have any effect on, or even be watched by the masses.
The really fucked up part is, Another Life actually looks like it may have a good plot performed well by good actors. I'll never know because some walking youtube meme couldn't go 10 minutes without shoving his politics down the viewers throat.
aaaaaaand I'm spent.
