You know it amazes me how little people understand about Star Trek!
The other day I was watching Star Wars with my friends, and we were going through our favorite tv shows and of course at the top of my list is Star Trek, (note that I didn’t rank all the different tv shows of Star Trek enterprise, Picard, tos, tas, tng,voy, ect) they were making fun of it and me (affectionate) so I asked them if they had ever seen Star Trek and received no’s.
Star Wars (I do love the show for the space crimes and the ideal of light and dark and how they explore it) is a world where mitigating the fact that if you read the books or just watch the tv shows it’s a space old west messy universe.
Star Trek (especially tos) it’s basically gays in some sort of military in space. Which I get it’s camp and sometimes weird to watch with other people or Trekkies that don’t share the same opinion than you (McSpirk forever baby)
The Original Series sparked fandom culture! When the series was going downhill who kept it afloat ??????
HOUSEWIVES
That’s right!! They wrote in letters to keep the show going!
This information is lost in modern history to the average person!
Star Trek isn’t just a fun show it’s literally embedded into fandom.
And it’s so so important to me specifically because it’s an envisionment for a brighter future.
It’s hope that one day we can reach the peace that dreamers of our world have made steps to achieve.
honestly I don’t know how to describe that in comparison to other shows Star Trek can’t be compared because it’s a vision for our future and is not just a Space show.

I sort of like the thought that Zuko and Aang take the Sun Warriors' warning not to tell anyone about the dragons a little more seriously… and they keep it between them. Of course, they trust Sokka, Toph and Katara. Of course they know they wouldn’t tell anyone, but now three people (including Iroh) know the truth about Ran and Shaw. And that’s three too many when you’re trying to keep a secret.
(and there are other people at the temple as well - like Haru, Teo and The Duke - who, while trustworthy, aren’t as close to them as the others, and when it comes to secrets with as much consequence as this one, you can’t afford to take any chances.)
Furthermore, the culture within the Fire Nation since Sozin’s rein has been warped. The culture is not to respect the dragons as the original firebenders, it’s to conquer and kill them. It’s the ultimate proof of your strength as a firebender. All it takes is one mistake before rumour spreads, and people go looking for the ultimate hunt. It’s not something Zuko or Aang can risk.
Whether Katara, Toph and Sokka (and Suki) ever find out the truth is up to you. But post-war, after Zuko returns from a strange, poorly explained trip with a dragon, and eventually develops the ability to use rainbow fire, either the others have some questions about Aang’s knowing look, or they are finally let in on a monumental secret.

Rick and Morty is cool because it’s a brutal, satirical comedy but at its core it’s a story about a depressed old man with godlike power slowly recovering from nihilism while accidentally turning his grandson into an absolute badass

kinda tough to watch buffy lately tbh. it’s hitting too close to home watching her be detached from everything and everyone, barely feeling anything except regret and exhaustion, wishing she wasn’t alive but knowing she can’t say or do anything about it because it would hurt her loved ones, experiencing life like she’s half-watching a movie she doesn’t care about. lol!
