I don’t know what this is or what’s all in it, but I need to eat an entire tray of it right now.
Very well made and pretty funny. And sadly still highly-relevant as the ending indicates.
Also the callback to the infamous scene in Downfall is excellent.
I loved it when the keygen apps played music and did visual effects I’d never seen before.
It was originally released in newspapers, but everything was consolidated into a series of books. Just search a bookstore/library for Calvin & Hobbes.
This sounds like a conversation the crew is having as they watch the Captain get them even more lost.
This is how Mandrakes lure their prey.
Trust me, they’ll love it.
The LDP is right wing, but moderately so thanks to the previous few Prime Ministers. Shinzo Abe, the longest service PM in Japanese history, was barely right wing at all, more of a right-leaning traditionalist than anything.
The Sanseito Party is far-right wing and was only formed in 2020. Yet now, as the LDP is losing majority power, they’re suddenly gaining seats in the Diet faster than the recently-popular Constitutional Democratic Party (left-leaning centrists). The current PM may be a member of the LDP, but she’s just as far-right as Sanseito and shares a lot of their beliefs.
Sadly, not enough Japanese understand their own history well enough to notice the similarities to past events (like the sudden public opposition to immigration) or what that will likely lead to next.
The seat warmers don’t work because they’re in the Delta Quadrant and can’t connect to Federation servers.
And Paris’ seat slides from left to right on a track.
They did this on purpose.

"There are a million things in this universe you can have, and there are a million things you can't have." - Captain James Kirk
The Enterprise meets with the USS Antares to take aboard a passenger for transfer to Colony Alpha V - a young man named Charlie Evans (Robert Walker). Charlie survived a crash when he was three and had been living alone on a barren planet with only the ship's computer to talk to. As Charlie mingles with the crew, he starts becoming angered when people tell him no or ignore him. These are not normal issues with integration into society after spending his whole life alone, rather something deeper and darker within Charlie that threatens anyone that upsets him.

"But it's a mystery. And I don't like mysteries." - Captain James Kirk
The Enterprise is sent to do a routine medical checkup on an archeology couple; Robert and Nancy Crater. Doctor McCoy (Deforest Kelly) is slightly apprehensive because Nancy is an old flame of his. When they meet, not only does she remember him but she appears exactly as he remembered her. But Captain James Kirk and Crewman Darnell (Michael Zaslow) see a somewhat different woman. This confusion turns into terror when, one by one, Darnell and others are found dead. Someone or something is killing Enterprise crewmembers and Kirk suspects the Craters are not telling him everything.

Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl, episode 7

At around 1:00 a.m. on February 21, nine men wearing stockings and white gloves appeared in front of a janitor (38 years old at the time) who was on his night shift and threatened, "We will not steal or set fire. If you do nothing, we will not cause any harm." After that, they tied him to a chair with adhesive tape and plastic straps, locked him in the bathroom, and disappeared somewhere. Three hours later, when the janitor sensed that there was no sign of presence, he escaped from the bathroom on his own and came out to find that there were 447 desks and 9 chairs in the center of the playground, measuring 20 meters wide and 30 meters long.
The desks were arranged in the shape of the number 9 and the chairs arranged in the shape of a period next to the desks. Japanese news and the public spent days speculating what it meant. Theories from the occult to a protest of the Japanese government were seriously discussed on national TV.
In the end, the people involved were caught (all senior students of the school, the leader with a history of causing trouble) and the leader of the group admitted that he simply liked the number nine.

This show is the coziest display of pain and trauma you’ve ever seen.
Also, Harrison Ford is the sweetest asshole ever.
