#its ok though I know in my heart that Mike was a chaotic bisexual and Martin was inove with him <3

Why do I always hyperfixate on things that no one else is interested in sgxkzgsjsgzjsg

#its V time again oh boy! #time to think about characters from an old ass show no one else cares about! #like at least some older shows still have dedicated fanbases but this one is just kinda in the background #obscure old scifi shows my beloved #its ok though I know in my heart that Mike was a chaotic bisexual and Martin was inove with him <3 #fandom #hyperfixation #neurodivergence #Mike and Martin shouldve kissed that is all #seriously though i highly recommend watching the original 80's miniseries/show its so good #its a clear allegory to fascism and has really good character dynamics #and it has Robert Englund playing a very sweet alien that doesn't speak english very well bc he was sent to the wrong place #though the aliens are definitely built from the harmful 'lizard person' concept #it was based on a novel called 'it cant happen here' which was written in 1935 and its heavily antifascist #but the studio thought the original script was too much so they swapped the fascist out for aliens #its really good despite very much being a product of its time #unfortunately the antisemitic nature of the lizard-person trope wasnt really talked about so it flew under the radar #but the core message is very clearly calling back to and criticizing the nazi party #its even directly pointed out by a jewish character at one point saying they need to help or risk repeating history #i just think its very good and should be watched and also I want more people who Get It
