The Dewatch Podcast
Jim with a G has seen Black Mirror, Jorgen hasn't. Gim thinks it's gone downhill, and we're watching seasons in reverse order to find out. Right after watching each episode, we try for an earnest, deep analysis of what we just watched, and get into our feelings about what it means. Join us in uncovering deep questions like "How far can an unsustainable system go?", "What has technology done with intimacy?", and "Have you considered that phones might be bad for you?" as we Dewatch Black Mirror.Intro & Outro for episodes about Season 6 are from:"Feral Angel Waltz" Kevin MacLeod...

Lower Decks S03 hampered my peanuts
I'm sorry i couldn't resist once i thought of it. We're generally very conscientious about taking CWs seriously so let me be clear we discussed it and arrived at "weird bird / robot sex" was our best swing at concisely conveying that

Lower Decks S05 has three episodes tied for worst
What do an overbearing aunt, a rogue nanite swarm and a rebel coming of age have in common? For one, they're in the most formulaic episodes of the season! At least there will always be the promise that the a and b plots will collide in the denuement and neutralize each other.

The Lower Decks Finale feels like fanfic
I propose the following program:
Lift all intellectual property law, with the exception of the right to make literal copies of a work. If you want to release a sixth game of thrones book, you can, you just can't impersonate george martin. You can make another batman film, but you can't just sell copies of existing ones out the back of your van. Stories have always been communal, often retold and revised. Our cultural stagnation is self-imposed for the benefit who don't even know half the stories they supposedly "own".

Blindsight is when you're in touch with your feelings
Imagine you are the Dewatch Podcast:
You wake up after an extensive christmas break, gasping for meaning from a story pulsating with it. You can feel the air, dry in the winter months, focing its way through your vocal chords, speaking ideas after months of emptiness. The episode length inflates in pieced-together increments, as one sentence is chained to the next, caffeine stirs groggy neurons. Your bits have seized up through disuse. You're a small thing, interpreting a large thing in medias res.
