Man, I love the bit where Archer is already force feeding Trip a plate of shit for giving a person kept in sexual slavery a glimpse of a better life, and to add insult to injury he's all, "And on top of it all, now the Vissian couple will have to wait to be able to conceive."

Archer is the worst captain.

Well, I guess we need to shut the forum down seeing as there isn’t going to be a better meme at any point.

If you like old school adventure games, the TNG game, "A Final Unity" was great, but sadly isn't available on any platform I'm aware of these days.

And the recent game, "Resurgence", was good if you like TellTale style narrative games.

I enjoyed this when it first came out on mobile, but not enough to keep paying for the apple arcade, or whatever. Plus, I don't think any other app I've ever used has come close to causing my phone to heat up like this one did.

But I can definitely see picking it up on steam to play mindlessly while I'm listening to a podcast or whatever.

You’re trying to make a problem where none exists.

Again, I'm only trying to figure out what you meant when you said:

And even then, there wasn’t much gayness to his acting.

Because it sounds pretty ignorant.

I'm not looking for a confrontation, I just want to know what "gayness in acting" means, and why it is apparently a problem.

Having a character that’s just a normal character who happens to be gay, without making a big deal about it or using it as a plot point, is rare.

I don't know if that's as true even in 2016 when the movie came out, as it once was.

Yeah, he played the character like a real person (who lives in space and brings a sword to a skydiving phaser fight) and not a caricature.

I'm assuming you don't believe all gay men are stereotypes from 1980s comedies?

So, unless you were expecting there to be hardcore man on man penetrative sex on screen, what would "gayness" to John Cho's acting mean?

Sure, but that doesn't mean they were exclusively heterosexual.

Why would the character be a stereotype?

[–] USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website -1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Why would anyone think he would be?

And even then, there wasn’t much gayness to his acting.

Care to elaborate?
