  They’re related, those incestuous, chinless WASPs. Brother takes sister to a formal dance and stops by the pharmacy to get a malt and let Dad get a whiff of sister’s corsage. Keep it in the family!

  I feel like it’s kind of odd to show the main character shilling fake products during an Upfront, where you are courting advertisers so that they can purchase blocks of advertising time “up front.” I mean, it’s a little meta, but also potentially confusing if you are trying to put your product next to Fallout’s.

  That’s the part of The Hulk we are all just told to ignore.

  Do you know where you are commenting? And surely you mean “another Star Trek work place comedy,” because we already have DS9.

  It’s a comedy, so I hope so too! I imagine the planet, being a vacation/pleasure planet, will have a lot of kinks that are taboo to the Federation and that’s where you will find the narrative tension as they apply for membership. The planet will have a constitution at odds with the Fed, full of kinks. They might welcome species that have kinks not outlined in said constitution. They might welcome federation citizens that are exploring their non-Fed kinks on this planet.

  We’ve seen plenty of criticism of the Federation’s nanny-state. Lately, that criticism has come from the writers of the shows who seem to have lost the narrative that the Federation is our ideal. Sure, it has issues, but none of us should be ashamed of reaching for utopia. I hope the new show is a continuation of the SNW and Prodigy reboot of a less cynical Trek.

  I don’t mind her noises when she’s in the prime universe, but her mirror universe sex-kitten shtick is very off putting.

  The underboob reptilian dabo girl! Vedek Bareil! Leeta! DS9 is sex and war; what else is there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some of the most realistic fictional movies ever made?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a bajillion, but maybe you are looking for a specific genre that nails it on the head.

  As someone mentioned, there are thousands of social drama films that could’ve easily happened. The success of that type of film is selling a “day in the life” plot.

  Someone else mentioned Office Space. That film is a satire, but it condenses and delivers refined representations of the banality of cubicle life that we all can easily relate to. The characters truly seem to be facsimiles of people we’ve known in our working lives.

  Someone else mentioned Michael Clayton. It’s an excellent thriller with flawed characters with believable motives that yes, it could be real. And maybe something like that has happened?

  What genre will help us answer your question?

  The Kanar sounds good. The Romulan Ale sounds way too sweet, though. I think 151, soda and Curacao for color with the rock candy garnish dropped in the drink would be more fitting for something that is supposed to be so strong it’s illegal.

  I want to see how big those Targ legs are.
