dejected_warp_core,

This video is a roller-coaster of emotion.

  • Ethan Peck
  • Unboxing complete collectable in-box and everything
  • Bewilderment ensues - this thing is weird
  • Ethan Peck tries it on
  • Doesn’t fit on Spock’s head

You forgot:

  • Got Klingon married
  • won survived a duel with a (very angry) Klingon
  • Trounced said Klingon with scathing financial evidence, disgracing him publicly
  • Saved his wife’s house (whole estate with social standing intact)
  • Secured wife’s place on the council
  • Got Klingon divorced

No idea if he got to keep those furs.

Considering what goes into the more hard-core outfits, they deserve respect for their dedication. And there are lots of outlets for that too, which is great (e.g. SCA).

However, if someone gets their tabbard in a bunch because some sci-fi cosplayers ruined their sense of immersion, at what is arguably a pay-to-enter medieval-themed shopping mall, they may deserve what they get.

A lot of the Faire folk I have met are just happy people are participating and having a good time, and if you put effort into a costume, even better.

These people are the backbone of every Faire. Huzzah!

dejected_warp_core,

I’m also a fan of Discovery’s take on this trope: Everyone is going to die unless we do something immediately, but let’s monologue and/or argue for five on-screen minutes first.

dejected_warp_core,

Shaxs is a menace.

…

But that other warp core totally had it coming.

dejected_warp_core,

Oh man, that’s really close. And no callback to that episode either. Picard or Worf remarking that “they must have gotten the idea from our own logs” would have been way better foreshadowing for the (b)admiral’s involvement. It would have also changed the tone to be more Trek thematic, as it would say something deeper about unintended consequences through so much cultural contact.

Literally everything about the Ba’ku-Son’a conflict falls apart at the slightest scrutiny.

I know some of the other Trek movies have this problem, but this goes especially for Insurrection: it felt like a mediocre TNG TV episode stretched out way too long. Much like a Son’a skin treatment. 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.

I will contend that Generations takes the cake as the worst TNG movie. Obviously, the goal of this film was to get Kirk and Picard on the screen at the same time. Everything else in this film is a contrivance to make this happen, and it’s not even good science fiction to get us there. To add grevious insult to injury, we get tragically little screen time between Malcom McDowell and Patrick Stewart and their poorly crafted motivations in the film’s “climax”. This casting choice should have surpassed Wrath of Kahn by a light year for scenery chewing awesomeness, but is instead overshadowed by Capt. Kirk barely accomplishing anything instead.

Also, in a moment of “let’s double-down on fan-service”, Picard Season 3 has a nod to Generations. There’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment when the gang is on the Daystrom Institute space station. A sealed room is marked as containing the remains of Capt. Kirk, probably of interest since he went MIA only to turn up decades later in Picard’s logs as having returned from the Nexus.

Cheese flavor is the way to go here.

But given the color, I’m reminded of restaurant soda syrup bags. So is this one Dr. Pepper or Coke?

The dog is the only one that can’t actually consent to space travel, and regardless, couldn’t possibly know the risks. It is innocent, and doesn’t deserve a violent fate.

Everyone else knows that they signed up to live in a metal box, with an artificial biosphere, which is all that separates them from the cold void of deep space. Also, said deep space is jam-packed full of things trying to actively break that metal box, if the crew doesn’t beat them to it first. And nobody knows that better than Seven.

dejected_warp_core,

It’s basically that. These have a lot in common with pro-wrestling moves. They all carry some element of risk (like the drop kick), but the physicality isn’t impossible to achieve with some coaching.

dejected_warp_core,

All Ferengi coms really should be an ad-encrusted nightmare: trailer before session, banners and popups during, ad breaks, and then a trailer at the end. Oh and a prompt, either manual or automated, to dismiss all ads for a subscription fee or an expensive one-time fee.

But with that recent paywall joke in LD, maybe that’s on the way?

“O’brien in Agony”

Is just a picture of Miles with Keiko

dejected_warp_core,

Don’t know where that comes from, but I think it has to do with the institutionalized authoritative power that comes with the job. Both are positions that can be abused, and can negatively impact people’s lives.

On the other hand, my past landlords were nowhere near as helpful about noise complaints, as the police. So there’s that.

sent to Rura Penthe

I have good news and bad news for you.

The good news is: Since you now live at Rura Penthe, Gowron Law can represent you for your new Mesothelioma suit.

dejected_warp_core,

Do I still have a case?

We actually have a class action suit for that very thing. Let me DM you the details.

dejected_warp_core,

Transporter buffer imprisonment

This is a horrifying concept and you bet I would send a Klingon law team after someone for that.

Console explosion

Do they have experience/success with suing The Federation? I heard they recently added Borg parts to all their ships - seems reckless to me.

dejected_warp_core,

For a moment, I though this was a play on how holodecks work versus the current state of AI.

Then I realized what an utter nightmare it would be to build a full-blown VR environment using nothing but present-day stable diffusion prompts.

dejected_warp_core,

Jellico: Hot damn, even their jokes are efficient. I like this crew.

dejected_warp_core,

First off: Thanks, I hate it. Now that’s possibly in my head forever.

Secondly, you’re probably right.

dejected_warp_core,

No matter when/how this show ends, it’ll be the same way, and it’ll be far too soon.

Also: is Pike aware that he’s functionally immortal until the clock runs out? There’s ample evidence that his future is unavoidable, so he’d have to come to this conclusion by now, right?

dejected_warp_core,

@Stamets, you’ll be missed.

I don’t know what condition c/Risa was in before you got here but you clearly helped build the phenomenon it is today. I know that, by your own admission, you’re (re)posting largely out of a hand-built database of old Trek memes, lovingly archived from elsewhere. But I wouldn’t think that a small task - it’s a lot more effort than any of us shitposters ever summoned for a few laughs. So, we’re all standing on your shoulders to an extent. And all of it has been the highlight of my post-Reddit online reading this year, so thanks for everything.

See you out in the Fediverse.

dejected_warp_core,

The quarterback, when he became toast.

dejected_warp_core,

I’m all for it.

Janeway: beam Ensign Smartypants back on board. I want to have a little chat about attending staff meetings in uniform.

dejected_warp_core,

Holy shit. That is amazing.
