Technically correct is the best kind of correct right?

How about this alternative with Burnham’s many mothers instead of Picard’s many sons

 

Jason Vigo: dna manipulated by vengeful ferengi

Shinzon: dna manipulated by vengeful romulans

Jack Crusher: dna manipulated by vengeful human/changeling/borg/hybrids or something like that

I’m gonna go with capitalism made her wicked 😎

OSYRAA: Fine. If the Chain is to unite with the Federation, you need to send the message that our culture is fundamentally valid and ethical. 

VANCE: And how are we supposed to do that?

OSYRAA: By acknowledging that capitalism is already happening within the Federation.

Oh is it finally time to eat?

We might think here, as perhaps Miller and his cowriters did, of a Viking army, threatening an established kingdom with devastation, transformed into that kingdom’s nominal protectors by the grant of a duchy. Rulership means negotiation, the management of a coalition, the constant reinforcement of a power base. It is never simple, and the work is never done.

I want to see an animated series of the future federation historians that have to read the copious amount of unhinged reports from 24th c. starfleet captains.

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

Truer now than when Henry Ford said it like a hundred years go.

The SEC exists to shelter Self Regulating Organizations from any threats of democratic governance or law enforcement. Oh ya and to keep up the legalese charade that there literally is no such thing as counterfeit stock (because the Secret Service has purview over counterfeiting for some strange reason)

Fuck the stock market 🖕

 

Well, mostly agree on 😉

ENT 4x23 Archer vs Shran fight 👌

Gul Dukat

Maybe you drew too fast shot yourself in the foot?

Gul Dukat is arguably the most wellformed villain in ST canon. He is a delusional maniac pursuing a twisted vision of greatness. He even works alongside our heroes for a time!

Can I offer you an Armus instead?

I have 0 desire to ever rewatch a single episode

If there’s one thing I’d like to peek behind the curtain to see, it’s the streaming metrics for each trek.

My gut instinct is that almost nobody wants to rewatch it unless it is their own favorite trek. I know I don’t.

Scifi writers: the setting is sleek and futuristic

Scifi set designers:

 

I hope this works, the file didn't upload the first time I tried. These are the cool weapons I've used up to chapter 4: wintry rapier, azure dragon crescent glaive, booster glaive, and etiquette.

This game is great 🤌

Cognitive dissonance on the more accurate name of “Ignored e”

Record a record? Convict a convict? What an annoying concept.

At least irregular verbs are drifting away, that’s a pleasant surprise.

B5 gang, you're my only hope.

 

why's it so hard 😭

 

I swear I remember they cut directly to Obrien and Data with incredulous "did he just say saucer sep" looks on their faces.

 
 

One of my absolute favorites and I'm hoping folks want to talk about it.

Hands down my most reread book. Me, an atheist, never imagined a twisty/puzzly novel about the life and times of future space jesus would speak to me so deeply.

The prose is multidimensional and layered with meanings that only come into focus once you know where it's going.

Some of my favorite examples:

  • The title of chapter 1
  • Severian first finding his dog.
  • Thecla's story of a fortune teller predicting she would sit on a throne.
  • The ending of book 1
  • The ending of book 2

Any other trek fans delighted by Group of Seventeen in book four, realizing it was 10 years ahead of the TNG episode "Darmok"?

 

Been here 5 days and I hate it already, I understand this vacancy now.
