Chang "cosplayed" as a dark elf.

It's seriously a great episode, they actually reference it several times in the series.

(Don't read the Plot section! Go watch it!)

[–] BroBot9000 3 points 1 month ago

I have all the episodes downloaded like a sane person.

Had no idea they cut the whole episode.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons was removed from all online catalogs of which I am aware, it's a great ep.

No! I hate Serenity because it is objectively bad not because it's just my opinion and not at all because

spoilermy boy wash got gutted and they killed book off-camera unacceptable reeeeeeeeeee


so it didn't happen they are all flying on and doin fun crime i swear i will bat'leth all dissidents

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I love Firefly. If you can watch Serenity then I tip my hat to you. I find it twists the knife too much for my liking.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Star Trek: TNG, Parks and Recreation for the usual commie stuff. Band of Brothers and True Detective S1 to balance it out with some violence. Twin Peaks to stay weird.

I can already tell I like you on a spiritual level

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Always Sunny including the banned episodes 🌞

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Banned episodes?

Tell me more as I just last week downloaded it all and don’t want to miss anything, please!

[–] AdolfSchmitler 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I bet it's the one where the gang turns into black people and end up getting shot by police or something. I've only ever seen it once so I'm not 100% that's how it ends but I can see why it was banned lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Surprisingly, this one is still available on streaming services! You’re not far off tho. Streaming services no longer list the black/brown face episodes.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Sg-1 but in 1080p widescreen with 5.1 sound.

It's a mishmash of a couple different releases.

Tis fantastic.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I got 3:

  • Star Trek TNG

  • Star Trek DS9

  • and Star Trek Voyager

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah, a Voyager fan. I never felt compelled to rewatch it but the Threshold song is taunting me to do it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You're missing the Barclay Saga, lol.

DS9 is my fave but VOY had it's moments, certainly worth watching for the doctor alone.

If you want a good VOY episode that won't spoil anything, check out Living Witness (4x23).

Nvm, I misread your comment, you've seen it, leaving comment unedited for others.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Adventure Time, Futurama, Community, King of the Hill, Bojack horseman, Archer

All very good shows I've already seen and therefore easy to game on the side with. Bonus because they can be easily watched shuffled

With the original music, and in the correct order!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hear friends complaining about how bad all new TV is, and I don't get it. I watch some new shows of course but none of them go back and rewatch old shows, it's weird to me. They have to have a constant stream of new programming. I'll kick on the office, how I met your mother, scrubs, parks and rec, Seinfeld, so many old shows that I loved and just hang out with them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

New American shows are made with a different set of economics than shows 20+ years ago. Outside of remakes or sequels, the typical American sitcom is dead.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

True. All of the shows I mentioned didn't hit their stride until season 3 or so. They would never make it today. Netflix will kill a show now if it doesn't make Office amounts of money by episode 4

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

You also have major changes to the writing process, part of it which came up during the writers' strike.

There used to be a whole team of writers writing for the show and they would tighten up scripts in a very collaborative writing process. Studios don't want to pay for it any more.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Me, snagging Infinity Train in super high quality last week

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This thread is going to make my NAS sad. So many good ideas that I had forgotten about!

Also, King of the Hill.

[–] Argurotoxus 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm really just perpetually rewatching The West Wing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Downloaded the entire series a few months ago for the wife

[–] durfenstein 5 points 1 month ago

Frieren - Beyond Journeys End

Rewatching it right now. Just awesome awesome fantasy. Can't wait for a second season.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

The Office for me.

[email protected] is people are interested

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Classic Doctor Who has had a permanent place on my drive for as long as I've had and external hard drive that could hold it all

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

DVD and Blu-ray media are vanishing from stores because these studios want you to subscribe to shitty streaming services and never own your content. Buy your favorites physical now!

.... And pirate the rest you don't care for as much

Remember.... physical is king as drives don't last forever

Remember.... physical is king as drives don't last forever

All my Sega CD/PS2 games stopped working because of use during 2010s. It's when I stopped buying physical media.

Where with hard drives, the last forever if you follow a proper cloning/backup ritual.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Shit disc rot happened to you? I didn't think that was a thing for like a decade or two

[–] Xanvial 3 points 1 month ago

New Doctor Who and Supernatural I think. Although I haven't got time to do full rewatch now, just occasionally watch some random episodes
