gregorum,

Good on you for not giving it up

gregorum,

GIVE YOU UP!

Most trek shows were on primetime network television. Once they went to streaming, the swearing came back. 

Although, even during the primetime network era, we got plenty of alien swearwords, mostly in Klingon. One or two in Romulan.

True, however, we did get Data blurting out, “Oh, shit!” when Troi crashed the Enterprise saucer section into Veridian III in Star Trek: Generations.

He said some fucked up things sometimes. He also had some great one-liners. I remember in the Augment episode, he was arguing with Aron Soong who yelled something like, “How can you say my work was misguided and too ambitious?” And Phlox incredulously replied, “Because I can read.” It was devastating.

gregorum,

I made a shortcut. Why not‽

gregorum,

It was funny when that happened in an episode of VOY when Janeway ordered a coffee, and then the mug materialized a few seconds later because the replicators were malfunctioning.

John Oliver's campaign for puking mullet bird delays New Zealand vote for favorite feathered friend (apnews.com)

Oliver discovered a loophole in the rules, which allowed anybody with a valid email address to cast a vote. “After all, this is what democracy is all about,” Oliver said on his show. “America interfering in foreign elections.”...

gregorum,

I admit to voting for this bird, lol.

The Fifty-Year Mission, that was it. It was made into a documentary that’s on P+.

Edit: IIRC, the book’s the memoirs of legendary Trek writer and on-again, off-again Roddenberry mistress D. C. Fontana who is also interviewed in the documentary. It’s a good one!

gregorum,

I remember that, in one of the many Trek documentaries I’ve watched, this was some sort of misguided 1980s attempt by Gene Rodenberry to be gender-neutral when it came to the objectification of bodies in Trek. Interesting how everyone thought it was awkward once the roles were reversed.

Too bad they didn’t learn, “perhaps we should just stop doing this,” and went back to, “let’s just go back to doing this only to women.” Then we careened into the 90s space babe era.

This was, like, 6 years later. Also shown in TV low-res 480p instead of big-screen film resolution. Or 1080p— I don’t know if TPB got the 4K treatment.

gregorum,

The best part is that, instead of being rivals, they’re all BFFs ❤️

gregorum,

Oh, my!

gregorum,

Well, I say, Madame Guinean, the visage of these verdant ghouls does trouble me deeply!

Screen printers of the world unite!

gregorum,

…do you still trust Windows…

lol, not since 2004, and I’ve never looked back!

gregorum,

In what way? Because there a lot of bad things about poo other than the taste.

gregorum,

I seen no overlap

gregorum,

Uh, Lemmy isn’t really big on memes (except over at c/Risa on startrek.website — their Star Trek meme game is on point!), so the old memes are partly satire for those of us that are older than memes and mostly make fun of them. With old memes. It’s complicated.

gregorum,

That’ll calm things down

gregorum,

“Who am I, Janeway? Lol!”
