For me, it's Le Samouraï, a noir thriller from the 60s. Most people would consider it slow, but I think it gives enough time for an audience to take in important details, think about what's going on, and experience tension. It stands in stark contrast to many modern films where there's always something happening.

  • I traded episodes with someone once. I would watch some lower decks and she would watch some TNG. I found Lower Decks cynical and obnoxious, so I went with examples of the aspirational mood that I admired from TNG.

    Measure of a Man puts treating someone as a person and with dignity should be more important than the utility (the researcher wanting to study Data), reasonableness (Riker's proof that Data wasn't alive), or personal feelings and relationships (Picard and the judge's history).

    Darmok is the Federation on a small scale. Seeking understanding even when that comes with risk, even in situations that seem hostile. Silicon Avatar does the same with a sharper contrast, but it doesn't have all the memes.

    The person I traded with understood from those why I didn't like Lower Decks and really enjoyed the episodes. I don't think it was enough to get her to watch more, but I'm still satisfied with having shown someone those two.

    If you're just looking to be angry at somebody, there's better targets than the guy not in power that's still trying.

    Edit: Not a real series. There's just the one story in Watchmen and an adaptation of that.

    Tales of the Black Freighter is a swashbuckler anthology pirate comic book series. It was published by National Comics (which later became DC Comics).

    Shying away from mainstream adventures, Tales of the Black Freighter's radical and innovative stories show a disturbing reality against metaphysical terrors and perverse comments on the human condition.

     

    Going to a wedding with two weeks notice with a cat theme. I had some fabric with cats on it, so I decided to make a bow tie instead of buying something new. Just used a tie I already had as the pattern. It has been so long since I've done any sewing, so 4 small pieces all the same size was perfect for where I'm at. Had a few mistakes but they're all in the back, so I'm pretty satisfied.
