I don’t know if this is a hot take, but I love that episode. Anytime Star Trek took what is essentially an emotion, gave it form, and interacted with it, I found it fascinating.

Damn. He did that right in front of O’Brien. Could have transported from anywhere. Made him watch.

Based Turkey.

“I have 8 different bosses. That means when I make a mistake, I have 8 different people coming by to tell me about it.”

Oil in the nebula, you say? I’d say that nebula is coincidentally ripe for regime change.

It’s pretty bad. Comparing it to other Trek or not. Writing is atrocious. Much of the acting is bad. Crying Captain crying damn near every episode. Not developing much of the bridge crew over 5 years. Not to mention not remembering their own rules (I remember once they said they couldn’t jump while cloaked, and then they did it).

Stamets, Saru, and Georgiou were they only ones that kept me watching.

If others can find joy in it, sounds good to me, but I’ll pass thanks.

People are weird. Trying to see things that aren’t there. Because…? Hell if I know. I’m just here for the shows. Not to question who might bang who.

Out of all the shows I’ve seen over the decades, out of all the characters I’ve seen, Garek is probably my absolute favorite. When top tier writing meets top tier acting. Beautiful.

Haha why do you guys call him Doctor Twink? The man was a horn dog, chasing tail on the daily.

I’m an early gen Y. I knew maybe 4 people who had a cell phone, and only one of them could record a 30 second, shitty quality video. Kinda glad phones weren’t in constant use when I was in school.

Damn, this is a good find. Good ears, OP.

The first game kinda falls flat, but they put out a pretty solid sequel with the second game.

Exactly. You’re not supposed to mention what they “identify” as. Or any other gender nonsense. Unless it is the focal point of the story to be told, then don’t mention it. That’s how you normalize something. By not drawing attention to it.

My favorite example is a character on Agents of Shield. He was a scientist that had a drinking problem. We knew about it from the start but didn’t find out why until later in the season. Years prior, he was drinking and driving while his husband was in the passenger seat. Got into a wreck, and his husband died. It wasn’t until that moment that we knew he was gay. Why? Because it was irrelevant. Spoiler alert, no one cared. He was a well written character, who was easy to sympathize with, who coincidentally happened to be gay.

Metalhead trekkie here. I won’t let you fall in the pit.

Duet and Drumhead hit so hard. Incredible writing, phenomenal acting. I miss that in Star Trek.

Just curious, why were wanting to replace Mullvad?

Settle down, Jimmy.

Haha. This Jimmy blocked me. Sensitive gonna sensitive.

Exactly. Anyone can put anything they want into a terms of service/contract. Doesn’t mean it’ll hold up in court.
