Apparently the prison scenes where they interview Kemper, all of the Kemper character's dialogue were his actual words from the real interviews.

The thing in TV and movies where the main character recovers from being stabbed, shot, or even just being in a brutal fight right away like it's no big deal definitely takes you out of it. I remember I was quite enjoying the movie Apocalypto until in the big chase in the jungle scene where the main character literally takes a javelin through the abdomen and is somehow still able to flee from his pursuers and eventually fight them. If you're going to do something like that in your show or movie, you really need to establish that the guy has superpowers of some sort.
Lol speaking of movie and tv, I really miss the family tv shows like family matters or growing pains on Disney. With things like Woke or the lgbtq movement influencing popular culture and what is appropriate I think some of the things that were more less, less politically correct is what made those shows so enticing and made you want to watch it time and time again. Now a lot of crap seems water downed.
Wanna watch a great TV show? Check out Freaks and Geeks.
It only lasted 1 year because it had a terrible time slot on Saturday for a show about teens, but it's one of the best TV shows I've ever seen. And it's based in the 80s so you get that retro goodness along with it.
You know what? I don't think I've ever seen this show ever since it came out on NBC a long time ago...this sounds like one for the bucket list lol
Of course looking back it's quite Jewish (a devout Christian girl is repeatedly mocked and portrayed as "uncool") but for the most part, it's a funny and at times touching show (like the episode where Lindsay ends up not breaking her mom's tradition of handing out trick r' treat candy together). It's better than most sitcoms that were on the air then and now.
It's kind of astounding to go through the cast list and see how many of them (down to even minor characters) went on to have successful careers. A lot of the same people appeared either regularly or as guest stars on Undeclared, which also only lasted one season before being canceled by Fox.
I’ve watched Freaks and Geeks 2 times all the way thru. It’s a great coming of age show. Very entertaining and good acting.
Yeah, the Pitt is a must watch show. Finished the series (season 1?) and outstanding. I think it won some Emmys which makes sense.
I found another really good series on Netflix called Black Rabbit which stars Jude Law and Jason Bateman, both of whom give great performances. Jude Law plays Bateman's younger brother who runs a successful restaurant and has a happy life until his screw-up brother returns home and causes turmoil. This leads to problems with the local mob, the cops, and his own staff at the restaurant.
If you liked the show Bloodline, you'll dig this one too as it deals with similar family dynamics. It's a very well-acted crime thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first to the last episode. 7.5/10

I decided to watch the second season of Peacemaker. First one was okay.
Second one had more propaganda inserted:
- as usual, white men are nerdy and uncool. There’s even a scene where there is an orgy and there is a clearly gay dude naked with a micro penis. Behind him a black dude with a “hose” for some propaganda-pushing. In a sex scene, black dude banging a white girl.
- overweight black woman is the voice of reason. Giving advice for broken “peacemaker”.
- blonde hot chick, who looks 5’2, 100lbs is a “bad-ass” who likes to go to bars to start fights and kick 15 men at the same time.
- there’s an older black agent who acts different from a human but it’s a nice character nonetheless.
So the usual Jew “lens”.

I recently started watching Cobra Kai. I find it interesting and some of the storyline shadows Shakespeare, which is okay, as it's hard to go wrong there. I'm halfway through season 2 which is inferior to the first season. I just learned the show was created by three New Jersey jews. Of course it was. Now I don't know if I care to finish it but I guess I'm a little bought in at this point and want to see where they go with the story, which is getting a little more heavy-handed as the show progresses. I find the pretty boy with both mom and dad issues to be a little too well-adjusted with no outbursts, his turnaround is done simplistically and feels fake, meanwhile Ralph Macchio is a weird-looking dude, I can't get over his shoulders and his character is very annoying when he's supposed to be the balanced one. He has nowhere near the presence of Miyagi. Anyway, LaRusso's wife is highly annoying. She's attractive, and a rich woman because of him, but man is she naggy and almost never takes his side. His youngest son is the most annoying kid on the planet. The jew-kid who kvetches about everything is the second-most annoying character. As the show wears on I'm sure Johnny, the Cobra Kai sensei, will get on my nerves more. In the first season his character was relatable, had depth, seemed interesting, but now in season 2 he's on a slow decline to caricature.
There's 6 seasons of this show, so a long way to go, but I appreciate that the episodes are only half an hour.

I remember they had actually written is so that Johnny made an anti-illegal immigrant quip in the first episode, which I found mildly surprising since the show premiered at the peak of woke. Certainly Johnny would have such attitudes as a guy who saw his native California turn into a minority white state, but Hollywood usually isn't interested in realism. They always have to have the white Scrooge character melt and they start early with Johnny mentoring Miguel.
Yesterday, I opened Netflix to continue watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. But guess what—all of the Star Trek series on Netflix now have the “Leaving Soon” notification. Yes, all of them: The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, and even The Animated Series. They are all scheduled to leave on 8 January 2026.
I’ve only reached The Next Generation Season 7, Episode 18. While I will be able to finish TNG before it leaves, I haven’t watched the other series yet. Just when I was looking forward to finally completing The Next Generation and moving on to Deep Space Nine, this announcement came out of nowhere.
Yes, I’m pissed off. After watching almost the entire run of The Next Generation, the characters and the overall tone of the show have really grown on me. The anticipation of finally moving on to Deep Space Nine now feels like it will go unrealized.
When I searched on Google to confirm whether Star Trek was leaving Netflix, I found out that this is a worldwide removal.

I remember when I first subscribed to Netflix in January 2024. Not only were all the Star Trek TV series available, but the newer Kelvin-era films were there as well, along with Star Trek I–VI from the original film era. Around mid-2024, however, all of the feature films were removed too.
I watched that show long after its beginning run started and I really liked the Johnny character, my sisters laugh and say he's an older version of me. I also thought it was clever how they turned the original story around to his perspective and made it work, wish you hadn't told me it was Jews....but like you said of course it was.
The part that turned me off was when they had that whole episode of just high school kids beating the shit out of each other, I thought that was an absolutely terrible scene something that certainly shouldn't be glorified. I've pointed that out to others who watched it and they said the same after I did so. Watching the kids gain confidence through an older tough mentor and competing was good but that scene killed it for me. That and the bad kid who hated his father and tried to get manipulative revenge on him, what a horrible story line....just nasty to watch along with exploring romantic web relationships of kids....trash. Could have done without all of that it's supposed to be a feel good cute story show, that stuff ruined it and I'm not usually uptight about stuff like that.
Again should have known it was Jews....
I believe Paramount + (which owns all the shows) has a Free-Trial period and sometimes there may be other ways to get it free as part of a package deal. My wife got a free subscription via her Wal-Mart membership, so some places offer deals like that to have Paramount +.
As for DS9, while The Original Series and Next Generation were always my favorites, DS9 holds a special place as well with a great array of interesting characters. The Star Trek universe really reached a peak during that era and they knew when to end a series instead of beating it to death. The 90s was a nice golden era for sci-fi TV.
Funny I don't even think i have TNG on my Netflix, I know it's different in different regions I've watched it on YouTube more recently. Star Trek is my favorite dorky pleasure, just always loved it don't know why and whenever I proudly tell someone how much I love Star Trek and they should watch it they look at me like "who the hell is this guy" it's funny. Mind you I'm at a party right now and I stepped into a quiet room to type a post about Star Trek haha.
Have you watched Picard yet?

I've just started Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Only seen 3 episodes thus far and it's not bad, just suffers a bit from the usual diversity stuff. During an episode there was a preview for a Star Trek Academy show which looks like pure leftist woke slop. I feel like I could somewhat tolerate older things produced by the left in the past, but everything new they come out with is increasingly unwatchable.
Yeah, I checked Paramount+ availability by country, and no Asian countries are on the list. It’s a sloppy business decision. By cutting ties with Netflix, they’ve significantly reduced access to legitimate Star Trek viewing, and as a result they’ll receive no further royalties—no matter how small. The only other realistic option left is to look for discreet streaming sites.
I had hoped to continue on to Deep Space Nine after finally finishing The Next Generation for the first time. Now it’s goodbye to Deep Space Nine and the other series—less than a month simply isn’t enough time to watch them all.

Here are the results when I type “Star Trek” into the Netflix search box. I remember that back in January 2024, when I first subscribed to Netflix, Star Trek I–VI from the original era and the Kelvin trilogy were still available. However, around mid-2024, they were removed.
I never saw Picard, Discovery, or the other newer series on Netflix at all. I don’t understand why these shows are made accessible only through Paramount+ when its regional coverage is so limited and does not include any Asian countries. As a result, there is currently no legitimate way to watch these series here.
This is a real shame, because I’ve come to realize that Star Trek, although not intended as educational material, offers genuine self-improvement benefits. Similar to how Roosh once said that Seinfeld is surprisingly good at teaching people how to be better conversationalists, Star Trek has helped show me how to work in teams and develop greater charisma and presence.

Yea I started watching that on a plane recently and it was better than I thought it would be but the diversity stuff also shut it down for me...
You're right, I just checked my YouTube and it was actually paramount through YouTube that has Star Trek not YouTube itself. That sucks dude I'm sorry, maybe use a VPN to watch it? I'm not entirely sure how that stuff works...
