- Comment on Patrick Stewart, stage giant also of ‘Star Trek’ and ‘X-Men’ fame, dies at 86 1 week ago:
“Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment… because they’ll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived. After all, Number One, we’re only mortal.”

- Comment on Enterprise being able to terraforming planets. 5 months ago:
I dont know if this is ever established in canon, but my theory is this is what allows the Borg to travel nearly instantaneously. Their transwarp corridors allow them to compress the infinite possibilities down to finite paths, and they’re limited only by where they have established transwarp exit nodes. Otherwise they’d go all salamander-ey everytime they used transwarp.

“conversations with letters of the alphabet” hahahah fair. But also like, in their defence, you would assume that someone being placed in command of the flagship of the Federation would have been thoroughly vetted before hand wouldn’t you?

I’d argue that not knowing Picard very well didn’t give them a reason to question him either.

Naw. It was originally written for Kirk and Uhura, but when the NBC executives found out they worried it would offend TV stations in the south. The idea of having Uhura and Spock kiss was brought up because Spock is half-vulcan (which NBC thought racists would find less offensive???), but Shatner insisted that they stick the original script. Eventually NBC ordered that two versions of the scene be shot - one with the kiss and one without. Shatner intentionally flubbed every single take of the non-kiss version to force the executives hands. It wasn’t the first interracial kiss on televion, but it was the first instance of a scripted kiss between a white man and a black woman.

The Star Trek universe’s first non-binary character
wow, not even the first crew members or first actors, they tried to claim it for the whole Star Trek universe. unbelievable.

That’s right, the entire species had evolved past having gender. That makes it even sadder/funnier that ST:D tried to claim it.

I’m not defending him, but let’s be honest with ourselves here. He was born nearly a decade before World War II. It’s amazing that he’s this progressive. Credit where credit is due.

It’s wholly owned and operated by Paramount Skydance. I’m sure they have to “pay” the parent company for tax reasons and stuff but why would that be an issue here? The content rights are all owned by the same company that owns Pluto TV.

Depending on when it came out $250 wouldn’t even have been that expensive. I think the early discmans were about that price, albeit for a bundle that came with headphones and a car charger and stuff.

This is one of several scenes that I bet the actors never expected to be released in 1080p…
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 7 months ago:
Her official role was ship’s councilor, so I’d guess it was to make people feel more at ease and less like they’re talking about their issues to an officer. But mostly - Rick Berman.

Worf: I do not see why it is necessary to wear these… ridiculous uniforms.
Riker: Protocol.
Worf: They look like dresses.
Riker: That is an incredibly outmoded and sexist attitude! I’m surprised at you. Besides, you look good in a dress.
