Itching to see the new Spike Jonze joint, revisited an old classic ad:

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

TV Drinking Games

 

Star Trek: Voyager

 

Take one drink when: Something that ought to be irreplaceable is lost or destroyed. The show tries to interest you in Kes' love life. The holographic doctor does something adorable. Seven of Nine shows that she knows everything the Borg know about everything in the universe, but doesn't understand basic human stuff.

 

Drink and chaser when: Janeway says she's not changing her mind about something, and then changes her mind 10 minutes later.

 

Shipper bonus ****tail: When Janeway and Chakotay show obvious signs of romantic tension.

 

Swig from bottle when: The crew wastes all their time worrying about their latest holodeck scenario when they're trapped hundreds of light years from home.

 

 

Game of Thrones

 

Take one drink when: Daenerys screams about her dragons, or anything else. There's pointless nudity to bribe us into listening to a lecture about the history of the Targaryens. Varys or Littlefinger tell the truth and nobody listens to them. Tywin or Lady Olenna put the smackdown on someone.

 

Drink and chaser when: Someone makes a dreadful decision, that you can tell will lead to ruin even if you haven't read the books.

 

Swig from bottle when: There's insane sadism, mutilation or general inhumanity depicted right on the screen.

 

 

Arrow

 

Take one drink when: Ollie being awesome dissolves to a flashback of Island Ollie being a twerp. Diggle proves that he's right about everything and totally the best at everything. Felicity steals another scene. Every time Ollie takes his shirt off for no reason.

 

Drink and chaser when: Ollie looks guilt-stricken for his past mistakes, and/or someone is yelling at Ollie for being such a jerk.

 

Swig from bottle when: Another DC Comics character is introduced, and is handled better than anything in Green Lantern.

 

Blake's 7

 

Take one drink when: Avon says something brilliantly sarcastic. Vila is hilariously cowardly and lovable. Dayna comes out with some awesome new weapon. Travis acts like a maniac.

 

Shipper bonus ****tail: Whenever Blake and Avon stare at each other and talk about how much they love/hate each other.

 

Drink and chaser when: One of the computers on the show serves up an awesome burn to the stupid humans.

 

Swig from bottle when: Servalan shows up wearing another amazing outfit and either kills someone or seduces someone or both in the same moment.

Star trek voyager: whenever someone utters the phrase "Some kind of" or "Some sort of" bonus shot when it was superfluous, which is always.

Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.

You do realize the point of a drinking game is not dying of liver failure?

 

 

I'm not sure that's the POINT of drinking games.
