Is it me, or are these getting darker? This isn’t the first Riker/Keiko joke, but man. What started out as poking fun at O’Brian is starting to feel like some more deep-seated issues.
Can you show me on this doll where Chief O’Brian touched you?
Whatever would dark about a man who is forever stuck alone in a room, doing a job that could be easily replaced by a computer, not being valued for his efforts, rarely smiling and having attempted suicide at least once? /s
Tap for spoiler
All jokes aside, yeah. The comic is pretty dark. And from what I’ve seen, it only gets darker.
I wonder if that’s how the people in support feel right now, being replaced by incompetent, hallucinating LLMs …
Your last sentence is somehow darker than the darkest O’Brien at work panel.
Of course he’s joking. Riker knows enough to use contraception or he’d leave little Rikers wherever he went.
And Riker hates other Rikers.
He wouldn’t want the competition.
So we’ve seen
Do they even have to worry about that in the 24th century. I’m sure there are plenty of methods around that would make benign.
Riker better not be raw dogging every alien he meets. I’m sure there are all sorts of novel STDs on new planets.
The crew is obviously stored in the buffer. Discrepancies like pathogens aren’t reconfigured, surely.
Except for all those episodes where someone brings a disease from the planet up to the ship.
Plot armor for the diseases…
Yeah but those are just “Unknown” I’m sure most of the STD’s you’d encounter are no longer unknown… Or they haven’t shown all the riker escapades;).
Yeah, but Riker keeps going to strange new worlds.
Oh that’s easy. Just take a quite site-to-site transport and the biofilters will clean all that right up.
Sure, so you say. And then suddenly everyone starts turning green.
“Computer, beam my sperm into space”
Just the sperm. Still want a melon cream soda.
Remove the baby, leave the gravy
…w… wow. I gotta say, that is a new one.
Poor space Charlie Brown.
Molly keeps pranking O’Brien because she heard what he did to her older time-twin.
My daughter needs therapy? How about instead I abandon her to die alone like Tom Hanks in Castaway.
Run along girl, you’re free now!
These just seem mean and depressing for the sake of being mean and depressing
Much like the series treatment of Miles…
Hahaha, watch the Irishman suffer!
