Where Are All The Bicycles?? (startrek.website)

I have an issue in general with scifi totally ignoring the existence of bicycles, but star trek is particularly fun to think about since in so many situations beaming down in an away team with electric mountain bicycles would be incredibly useful in a basic utilitarian sense. Like shuttles, bicycles could be treated as...

Zorque,

We love hoverbikes!

Zorque,

No cap frfr

Zorque,

"I grew up with a completely different scale, so this scale makes no sense to me!"

Well no fucking shit.

Zorque,

I thought it was the one like Farscape.

Zorque,

Kilroy was here

Zorque,

Lal would disagree.

Zorque,

Star Trek canon is littered with abandoned species that could have had interesting follow-up stories. These were far from the most interesting.

Zorque,

The destination is rarely the point of most high-concept sci-fi. Rather, the journey is what is important.

Zorque,

🎶The slimiest Cola in the Galaxy🎶

Zorque,

You'd rather eat a stove top than homemade dressing?

Zorque,

I guess you get your daily dose of iron, and then some...

Zorque,

And kind of a dick about it, too.

Zorque,

It was even more insidious than that. It wasn't about self-preservation or selfish need... they were so brainwashed they considered it good to tell on others as a matter of course. One of the secondary characters is even proud of his own children for turning him in for talking in his sleep.

Zorque,

I wouldn't call her cruel. Misguided? Sure. Megalomaniacal? To a degree. But not cruel. As you say, she considered it a kindness.

Zorque,

Oma did all those things. They did none of it. She was literally the only one who ever did anything. All they did was ignore Oma and Anubis and Daniel.

Now when Morgan LeFey was trying to help the gang with the Ori, they gave her a proverbial bitch-slapping.

Though, really, their non-interference was basically an application of the Star Trek Prime Directive. Basically the same kind of thing we recommend when dealing with nature, make as little impact as possible. Its only as cruel as nature itself is cruel.

Zorque,

Windows is Hot Cocoa. It's comforting and warm, but not really what you're wanting right now. And probably not great for you.

Zorque,

I do not think that word means what you think k it means.

Zorque,

Right, they're inferring that their opinion was universal. There was a lot of controversy @urrounding the movie, but it had little to do with the quality and a lot to do with peoples inability to remove personal biases from their viewing experience.

Zorque,

Yours, more so ;)

Zorque,

Yeah, but he kept trying to privatize Stargate command. Kind of a dick move.

Zorque,

O'Neill. Two Ls. There's another Colonel O'Neil with only one L.

Zorque,

It's always been a thing holding white guy from getting to yellow goal, in the memes I've seen.

Zorque,

Is the date a perfect sphere in a vacuum with no friction?

Zorque,

Would a straight man bring a disruptor to their first date with a woman?

Zorque,

Rom figured it out? This is a new low...
