VindictiveJudge,

They’re actually a republic. The Vedek Assembly has a lot of influence, but they’re fully separate from the Provisional Government. And they only have that much influence because the vast majority of the population follows the Bajoran faith. Think of the Assembly like the Vatican - powerful when everyone cares (Pope during the Middle Ages), but virtually powerless when nobody does (Pope now).

VindictiveJudge, (edited )

Just a reminder that she didn’t actually explain why she was tearing up a picture of the Pope, she just pulled out a picture of him and tore it up without context. Nobody understood wtf was happening.

VindictiveJudge,

He’s technically calling his opponent’s attack there.

VindictiveJudge,

Seriously, does anyone know about the update settings? It’s not hard to make Win10 not try to update while you’re using it.

VindictiveJudge,

And yet, all the carts are collected and all the shelves fully stocked.

VindictiveJudge,

Lucky could be Paris, but that would make Luanne B’Elanna and I don’t think that part works.

VindictiveJudge,

Fun fact - the actress under that makeup also went on to play the Female Changeling.

VindictiveJudge,

It’s also not even remotely how DNA or evolution work.

VindictiveJudge,

The remake being attached to Trek with the creator being annoyed at VOY and leaving to make his own show still kinda fits the Mormon thing with the above chart, though.

VindictiveJudge,

I am part of the group that thinks Insurrection was not just bad as a movie, but bad as a plot line all together. Literally everything about the Ba’ku-Son’a conflict falls apart at the slightest scrutiny.

VindictiveJudge, (edited )

Also, there was just something about it that felt like a re-hash of an actual TNG episode, but I can’t pin down which one.

“Homeward,” the episode where Worf’s adoptive brother evacuates a pre-warp species to a new planet because theirs is dying using the Enterprise’s transporters and holodeck to make them think they’re just traveling over land to a new place. It’s almost exactly the plan for moving the Ba’ku.

VindictiveJudge,

Season 3 has a ton of problems, but it’s still a much better send off for the TNG crew than Nemesis was, and that’s good enough for me.

VindictiveJudge,

For their internal politics, yes the PD applies. For general interaction, no, the PD no longer applies. You can also land on a pre-warp world if they’re already buying Romulan Ale from the Ferengi. It’s not like you can make it any worse once the cat’s out of the bag. Consider that Kirk was sent to negotiate with the Organians back when they were thought to be a pre-industrial species; that was fine since they had already been contacted by some other people, including the Klingons.

VindictiveJudge,

I mostly chalk that kind of thing up to writers not having any idea what the Prime Directive actually is.

VindictiveJudge,

The Prime Directive shouldn’t have even applied with that. They can’t stop a foreign government from executing their own citizens for stupid things, but trying to execute another nation’s citizens is an international incident and falls under standard international politics. The Federation seems to give Starfleet ship captains ambassadorial powers, so Picard should have started threatening sanctions and making comments about how executing Wes could be considered an act of war.

VindictiveJudge,

Add in Sokel for the next round. He was T’Lyn’s former captain.

VindictiveJudge,

I still think each Combs in the picture should be a different character. Unless each one is a different Weyoun, in which case they already are.

VindictiveJudge,

The way his conviction wavers as he says it also shows that he’s trying to convince himself and justify his actions to himself more than anything else. It’s not that he can live with it, it’s that he has to live with it.

VindictiveJudge,

Seems bland as hell on the surface, but hiding a spicy side.

VindictiveJudge,

Londo and Quark trying to scam each other at gambling.

VindictiveJudge,

They were going through a few different movie scripts at the time. Interestingly, a rejected one was about a black hole that threatened to consume reality, not dissimilar to the prime timeline part of '09.

VindictiveJudge,

Early pre-production for the first movie started that year. Might have been to build hype.

VindictiveJudge,

Phase 2 production attempts actually only lasted a year or two right before filming on TMP started.

It is very important that you all know that Sarah Silverman made out with Tim Russ during the time she was on Voyager. (www.cinemablend.com)

I kissed him [Robert Duncan McNeill] at the end of the episode, and he was standing on an apple box because God forbid you’re the same height as the girl. And then, I made out with him [Tim Russ] in real life....

VindictiveJudge,

*any port in a pon far

VindictiveJudge,

I genuinely can’t remember if this is a shot from LD. The episode where Boimler gets a girlfriend, maybe?
