what *have* they done to these guys, hasn't it been like idk 4 hours or something?

#Monsterdon

Frankly I applaud Gene Roddenberry in getting the TV networks to film his erotic fiction....

#Monsterdon

I’m behind a bit, but “Women’s lib? Or women’s lib gone mad?” is a top-shelf terrible quote.

#monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Roddenberry was on some shit with this one.

#Monsterdon

Dammit, John Saxon, I’m a doctor, not a mind healer. #Monsterdon

was audio culture just like different in the 70s and that pew sounded cool then because how in the fuck would you go with that PEW #monsterdon

so I guess instead of doing space racism we're just going to do earth racism

#monsterdon

Spouse watching the #Grammys2026 and me watching #Monsterdon and reading comments.

Made notes about the Grammys mainly from mostly just listening to them. Which made #PlanetEarth not as bad an experience as other viewers had.

@ricci SILENCE, DINK! #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @yatsu I don't think J. Michael Straczynski ever worked a fetish into a TV pilot...as far as we know...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou @_L1vY_ but Genesis II suggests Genesis I and back to Star Trek we go

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Wow, that sucked so bad. And noone quietly sidled up to Gene Roddenberry and said, "Ya know, about the entire idea of this thing, the dialogue, the script, ... uhhh.. what the fuck were you thinking?"

What did we learn? They NEVER give refunds at movies. Thanks #monsterdon ers. Take care. See ya soon.

Dinks will be dinks

#monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Well that was a window into the mind of Gene Roddenberry, I hope the future Galactic Federation that is spawned from this world is fully aware of this....

#Monsterdon

oh thank god that the surgery that we never cared about happened entirely offscreen and everythign is fine so now that the principles can leave #monsterdon

#monsterdon This is a strange story for a pilot episode.

I don't like overly explainy pilot episodes, but ... this show has an unfrozen man from the past ... and that had exactly nothing to do with the plot.

Was there more of that they cut out?

I'm at a loss for words. It's like an old Star Trek episode but way more so.

#Monsterdon

wood-fired station wagon with 200 horsepower

#Monsterdon

i sort of love the men as a sort of zergling swarm!!! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth

so dr. whatever has like 90 minutes to live now, right

because we did an overnight after he had 15 hours and it was broad daylight?

#Monsterdon

This is making me retroactively like Star Trek less #monsterdon

@ricci wait, wait. In college, a friend’s younger sister starting calling us “dinks” when bunch of us were at their place one Friday night, making pizzas, as, apparently, dinks do. After over 50 years, it all makes sense now. Thank you #monsterdon

how about we do enbies ruling instead

#Monsterdon

how much dink would a dink dink if a dink could dink dink

#monsterdon

I wish David Attenborough narrated this

#Monsterdon

God I miss Lurch so much. What's he doing?
#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

No Novocaine it dulls the senses

#monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

can we please please please get these people to stop talking

#monsterdon

"I seem to feel something"

well, that makes half of one of us

#Monsterdon

Even the romance scene is a creepy fetish 😬

#Monsterdon

"14 wives?! I am inexplicable aroused and enraged!"

#Monsterdon

"you can never be sure about us Dinks"

I am sure of several things about you, buddy

#Monsterdon

This film needs more pegging.

I said it.

#Monsterdon

you leave your dinks OUTSIDE???

#monsterdon

The mistake so much sci-fi makes is it over estimates how interested people will be in it just because it's 'futuristic'. They don't build any characters or intriguing story lines in favor of mostly garbage looking effects. Not always. There's been some good science fiction films....#monsterdon

@Taweret

The first rule of Amazon Confederacy Kayfabe is do not talk about Amazon Confederacy Kayfabe!

#Monsterdon

yes they are all fighting over the virile man, looks how feminist we are

#monsterdon

Sotheby's needs to bring back fist fights.

#monsterdon

for the women watching, yes this is how the world looks to us dinks

#monsterdon

he's been roofied with dink extract!
#Monsterdon

I did not have Horny Dr. Pulaski on my bingo card tongiht.

I blame @cherizilla 😄

#monsterdon

@aburka lol, calling themselves "the Confederacy" too...

#Monsterdon

The thing is... there's nothing good about this... but the acting is the worst part of this

it's like they weren't even on the same sound stage for this

#monsterdon

i am sorry i just CANNOT take this movie seriously solely because of this man

#Monsterdon

"Planet Earth" dink/drink game:

Hear "dink" take a drink.

Also, vice versa.

#Monsterdon

i sort of forgot what the whole movie is about or why anything is happening but this matriarchy sure is taking a lot of time being hamfistedly established line by line #monsterdon

I always thought Zapp Brannigan was based on Captain Kirk but now I know better #monsterdon

He wasn't FEISTY enough to be a breeder!!

#monsterdon

"The name is Dork. Dink was my father."

#Monsterdon

Oh shit, that’s Dr. Pulaski! #Monsterdon

"What ever you do, don't tie me up and peg me, I would hate that....very much....."

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe

Lurch has got to be indigenous to *somewhere*

#MOnsterdon

BY GRAPTHARS HAMMER #monsterdon

I see, this is only set on earth because they couldn't afford to pretend to go to other planets

#monsterdon

Now, let's see what this is all about... #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth 👽 🎥 🍿

okay, confirmed: this is indeed on earth. neat.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Super funny. #ChatGPT had a devil of a time separating Planet Earth from Star Trek. But once it got tuned in, it started dropping the funny. Here’s a quip: “It’s like Logan’s Run meets Footloose:
no one is prepared for how weirdly sincere it all is.” Yup. LOL. 1974… one year before me. GenX grew up in some really weird times. LOL.

@skatem one of those stools with the dildo in the seat.... at his mistresses' command

#Monsterdon

Evil goths are cuter than fairies.
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2

@skatem

Same stuff as for Zardoz?

#PlanetEarth1974
#Monsterdon

@skatem Ketamine. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon It wasn't as heinous as Death Race 2000, I'll give it that. But Gene was such a lecherous old man, and it shows.

@skatem Whatever it is, he probably had to go to an alien planet to get it

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Honestly, if they had negative integers in ratings, this film would be one of the few and the proud in that zone

#monsterdon

Next up more 90s Mothra flavored wrong frogs
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2

Edit: Tonight on Gene Roddenberry's yeah fuck that movie #monsterdon

Wow this was some spot-on bullshit of a film! Thanks, @Taweret and everyone in #monsterdon this week for your great comments!

Gee. I wonder why they didn't pick this up as a series.

Note the lack of an actual question mark.

#Monsterdon

ok cool after beating up the invaders it's revealed that everyone else has not been drugging their dinks anyway because everyone else has been able to fend off the orc guy shakedowns, and the men are now... empowered.. to do something... and we have learned.. to not drug the men, however slavery remains unquestioned, and ahhh uhhh #monsterdon

how many of these people do you think *consented* to have their name on this

#Monsterdon

They all go poly in the next episode....

#Monsterdon

wow, even the resolution of the surgery plot is totally limp and lame

#Monsterdon

Worst National Lampoon ever

#Monsterdon

LURCH IS BACK! Fuck yeah!
#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

That’s how you punch Nazis.

#Monsterdon

meanwhile, in Hawaii 5-0

#Monsterdon

"It's only 73 mins. People expect more."
"Nobody's gonna complain it was too short. Trust me."
#monsterdon

pussycat

please somebody play it's not unusual

#monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

The implication that these women don't know how to fuck is ludicrous and really ruins my immersion in this porno

#Monsterdon

every billionaire is a dink

#monsterdon

@overholt It's probably about two pieces of clothing removed from fitting in there

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

that Dinkum Thinkum

#Monsterdon

"The males in my country are trained in certain practices that make us different"

"Practices? What are they? Show me."

"First I need access to PornHub. Let the gooning commence!"

#monsterdon

"Typical male vanity"

She's got us there!

#Monsterdon

He only has 15 hours to live? I need a drink. #monsterdon

So, uh, Connor cured himself and just hangs out there enjoying things?

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Is this the only way gay men could be open in Gene Roddenberry show?

#Monsterdon

Public Humiliation fetish....

#Monsterdon

this movie would be pretty good if it didn't have any of its parts in it

#monsterdon

so like the theory of gender is that women are direct and small skirmishes establish a clear meritocratic chain of dominance, and men are bad because they lie and that makes larger wars and politics and whatnot. and then we have just a typically militaristic man faction that seems to be perfectly truthful just like lower gravely voices and sorta ugly looking. what are they setting up here exactly? #monsterdon

"Yes"

jump cut to mid-fight

what the heck?!

#monsterdon

excuse me all these conversations are still about dinks, the lengths to which this movie will go to avoid a Bechdel pass are astounding

#monsterdon

there's no way i'm getting "surprisingly good dialog" on my bingo card tonight #monsterdon

Remember when Space Opera had a really big thing for 'psychic powers' and how we don't really do that anymore...

#Monsterdon

So far we've got a real "can they both lose" scenario on our hands

#Monsterdon

@jonny What if the women spend the ENTIRE movie talking about men?

#monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Did his neck rope HAVE to be tied like a noose?

#Monsterdon
