DS9 S6E14. This is actually an episode.

This may actually be the best pun of them all.

You’re mocking me aren’t you? - Worf when I need a deadpan response to someone razzing me.for some reason.

I’ve said this sooooo many times.

The enshitification of the promenade.

I respect the meme changed her hair style appropriately to canon.

Boy did they fix him in Prodigy.

Couldn’t agree more brother. The concept of Riker’s Beard is well known in TV - although it is hard to implement in the age of streaming. But I want new and untried.

LD really broke the mold and is fantastic. DISCO’s issue is that it wasn’t different enough.

I want Horror in the ST universe. I want James Bond in ST (Section 31?). I want How I Met Your Mother in ST. I want Law and Order in ST. I want MASH in ST. I want Saved By The Bell in ST(Academy?) I want The Hurt Locker in ST. I want The Notebook in ST. That’s how the franchise moves on, not retreading old ground.

I’m doing a DISCO rewatch right now. It is much better on a second run than I remember it being when it first came out.

I guess I’m bi now???

That book is great.

This is a top tier Trek meme.

Now do the other series.

I’m a similarly aged and gendered human.

There is research out there somewhere that confirms the commenter’s memory. I can’t find it on a whim unfortunately, I’ll post if I can find it. From what I recall from the research (I’m sure I’m butchering it): In the 80s and 90s trans people were a lot more accepted. At some point when certain monied bigots saw the writing on the wall that they were losing the fight of gay and lesbian hate they started a campaign to vilify trans people.

Yes there were always assholes and prejudice, but it’s only in the past 20 years that trans hate became a calling card of demagogues. It really was more accepted in the 90s.

In no way do I want to minimize the awful way trans people are treated, regardless of age. I’m just trying to remember some research I read once.

PLOT TWIST: I have IBD. (really)

There are two types of men, men that like pegging and men that haven’t tried it yet.

Would you like there to be?

Two VPs in one place.

Totally not a Romulan operative dressed like a Cardassian operative dressed like a Bajoran Maquis who gets absorbed into a Starfleet crew who bails for the Kazon.

Bonk. Straight to horny jail brig.
