I can't see a show on Apple TV because I don't subscribe.  As a matter of curiosity, what show on Apple TV are you referring to?

Quote from: Valmy on September 19, 2022, 10:13:33 PMYeah Dahomey was a slave economy with a military whose biggest job was to capture people to sell to Euros which was the main source of the kingdom's wealth.

That seems like a pretty dark thing to explore so I can see why they would prefer to focus on the more romantic aspects. But if they did leave that out how is that "no sugar coating the slave trade"?
An African kingdom is depicted as a willing participant in the slave trade and fighting white people who tell them it's really bad to enslave other human beings and they shouldn't be doing it.

You do not understand why this creates some modicum amount of controversy online? ;)

I am sure it does. But it is what happened after all  :P

But of course the anti-slavery actions of the British Empire was utilized in its Imperial expansion in Africa so if you need to have bad white people you can still have that while saying the facts.
Pftt.  Facts.  Who cares about facts? :P

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

He was going to let her die in the elements, he's that much of a dick, but she pissed him off.

I'm on the second episode of House of Dragons.

I was hooked to GoT by then.  I'm not hooked to that new show.  It may have potential, but I much prefer the Rings of Power.

The best fantasy show since GoT season 5 has been The Witcher.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Loved the latest episode of Lower Decks.

I feel the "we just want to study quasars" shout from Boimler may have been a reference to SF Debris's review of First Contact where he raised the point that there's probably a lot of people aboard the Enterprise who only signed up to be scientists, voice acting one unlucky crew member saying, "I just wanted to study quasars!" :D

That was great too. As were the Conspiracy Truthers. :D

Trek Culture raised an interesting bit: in the flashback, the shady figure overseeing Rutherford's cybernatic implants procedure wears a TNG era com badge, which would put this in the timeline somewhere between season 3 TNG (uniform) and season 3 DS9 (change of com badge). Which rightfully raises the question - how long has he been an ensign? Longer than Harry Kim? :o
