    Megathread, Star Trek. It’s reliable. Barring that, there’s always Walter Bishop or Scully & Mulder. V, the original series, for some of the worst acting ever televised.

    If I’m going to watch scripted I’m going to watch a story. Even the hobby vids are scripted, repetitive, selling crap. Very little of it feels authentic. Neither the algorithm nor the search fxn lets you search for rejected vids or vids with <500 views. It’s ridiculous.

      At least V was entertaining and funny. I just tried to watch Manifest. That actually is the worst acting ever, and it’s not even compelling or funny. It’s like the worst commercial-level acting. At least V shows you how to plan an insurgency against an invading alien force.

        Dark Shadows is my Number 1 on worst. V is in the top 5, but yes, very entertaining. Bad acting should be entertaining.

        YT is getting annoying. And there’s bot vids now.

      I will to this day not watch V. It scared the DICK out of me when I was a kid and now I am a burly old falsetto speaking husk of a man minus a dick and still can’t finish the show.

        Yes. My parents forbid it after I had a nightmare about the skin being ripped off of a face. Nothing adulthood won’t cure. It’s actually pretty great in a 3 heads kind of way, rodents and all.

          For me it was that one scene in a cave where I think there was an alien hatching or something. It was so fucking visceral, HARD John Carpenter vibes from those special effects. Mind you I was 8 at the time.
