For those who don’t know how much Rick Berman sucks:
“He’d comment on your bra size not being voluptuous. His secretary had a 36C or something like that, and he would say something about ‘Well, you’re just, like, flat. Look at Christine over there. She has the perfect breasts right there.’ That’s the kind of conversation he would have in front of you. I had to have fittings for Dax to have larger breasts. I think it was double-D or something. I went to see a woman who fits bras for women who need mastectomies; I had to have that fitting. And then I had to go into his office.”

“Apparently someone had told Whoopi that we had written the episode, so she came over and started asking us if she could change one of her lines. And we were like ‘Oh you have to talk to Rick Berman. That’s Rick Berman’s domain. Only Rick Berman can go through and change the dialogue.’ There are some shows where actors just ad lib their lines, then there’s Star Trek where you have to say exactly what’s on the paper. So, I as a courtesy said I would let the production office know that she had a question about the script… Rick’s response was ‘Why the hell was Whoopi Goldberg talking to Eric Stillwell? What was he doing on the set?’ The next thing I know, I’m banned from the set. Just for passing on a message… and it was humiliating, on my episode, that I’m banned from the set.”
Don’t forget the fact that he was aggressively homophobic and refused Gene’s wishes to depict the HIV/AIDS crisis in multiple episodes or even have a gay character on the show, including blacklisting a script about the crisis titled Blood and Fire. Not to mention shooting down the Garak/Bashir connection that both actors actively wanted and refusing to allow Malcom in Enterprise to be gay despite his actor also specifically playing him as gay.
There was also the push to have a male actor play the main androgynous alien in The Outcast that Riker falls for. Frakes was all for it. Berman nixed it.
I don’t even understand the point of webp. Why do we need to make pngs and jpegs smaller? Who has internet that can’t handle those files most of the time? It’s not like people are posting 500 mb images.
Even when I have one bar, as long as I have a connection, I won’t have a problem with a 50k png. A screenshot on my 27" monitor is less than that. And the legacy hardware was designed with pngs and jpegs in mind because they didn’t have webp at the time. So that really doesn’t make sense to me.
Without context, it looks like this guy doesn’t want to date a pregnant woman because she’s pregnant, but then goes on the date anyway and doesn’t say anything to her.
Oh, is that what he’s dressed as? I honestly couldn’t tell. I guess that makes sense with the bottle. I couldn’t tell what the thing in his mouth was but it must be a pacifier.
I’d go with 2 Rikers. That’s enough beard to show that he has more manliness than most people can handle, but not enough to show that even when he can’t manscape, he still exudes more raw masculinity than the rest of the crew combined…
Franklin Richards is when you decide that the kid who wishes people into the corn field in the Twilight Zone would be a fitting child for two of your heroes.
I don’t really have a need for Linux at this point, but I do have a 2015 Macbook. It’s still supported by Apple, but I doubt it will be much longer. It used to be a work machine, but these days I mostly use it as a glorified web browser, so the OS doesn’t matter much, but it’s definitely going to get me to install Linux on the machine once I stop getting support. I already can’t run the most recent OSes because it’s an Intel machine. No fucking way am I buying a new notebook when this one is just fine (apart from the battery, but I don’t take it anywhere) and I don’t use it to run software not supported in Linux anymore because I have another computer for that. I’m really glad Linux exists to keep old computers alive and working well. We have too much of a single-serve disposable society as it is.
Yeah, but I think the stakes should have been higher. They’re exploring unknown space and meeting hostile aliens. Even if some of those aliens became friends later, they could have started as hostile and worked towards being allies, like they did with the Andorians later in the series. The idea that they could be in totally unknown space and exploring strange new worlds and no one ever dies? Seems a little hard to buy to me.
I like A Piece of the Action- “We already fucked up this planet by exposing it to our culture once. Let’s fix that by shooting them all. It’s okay, it’s just set on stun.”
The Federation should have used Linux, the superior OS (i.chzbgr.com)
Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it? (sh.itjust.works)
