- Comment on [Interview] As a Star Trek Era Ends, Discovery's Mary Wiseman Reveals the Franchise's Greatest Lesson 1 week ago:
This is an excellent distillation of what makes Tilly great. Imho she’s the best written character across the board in any Trek of the past two decades. I missed her sorely in season 4.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x07 "Erigah" 1 week ago:
It’s definitely a a nice nod to the character. If bar patrons 600 years later still get the reference, that speaks well of her lasting influence on the Federation.
- Comment on Preview ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Episode 507 With New Images And Clip From “Erigah” 1 week ago:
I wonder if they ginned these up for Section 31 or Starfleet Academy (if that’s still a thing?) and figured they could use them here, similar to the First Contact uniforms being ported over to DS9.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x07 "Erigah" 1 week ago:
I really think they just overplayed their hand, and he really did overdose by accident - or because he thought it was the only way for Moll to get away. I don’t believe either of them are basing a strategem on the Progenitor tech actually being able to resurrect him, but Moll is desperate now, so she’s willing to believe it might work because it’s the only hope she has left.
- Comment on Annotations for *Star Trek: Discovery* 5x07: “Erigah” (SPOILERS) 1 week ago:
I don’t think Reno was referencing The Littles, as she referred to the treasure hunt as sounding like something out of a holonovel “for the littles”. Unless there’s something specific in Peterson’s stories relating directly to this, I’m pretty sure it was just a cutesy way of saying “for little kids”.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x04 "Face the Strange" 4 weeks ago:
In that episode.more time had passed, and Zora never mentions the crew by name, so the crew she was waiting for to return might have been replacements who never arrived.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x04 "Face the Strange" 4 weeks ago:
Would have been funny to bring fellow Cylon Landry back and have Rayner say “wait do I know you?”
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x04 "Face the Strange" 4 weeks ago:
Also, what is dragging him along with Burnham and Rayner, while the consciousnesses of everyone else are presumably unaware of the jumps? Come to think of it what’s the point of the Time Bug if nobody involved is usually aware of it? Is the jumping just a side effect of the ship being “frozen” in time?

I mean you can discuss it to death, but without facts – which don’t exist, because he didn’t tell anyone the intimate workings of his fucked up mind – the best you can do is speculate. By all means, go ahead.

But but but why did he spray bullets at a crowd with intent to murder hundreds? Why, man, why? We need his manifesto, his tax records, the political affiliations of his associates and family! How else am I supposed to fit him into my narrative if I can’t prove why he thought to do the unthinkable?

Even if they could, I don’t know why you would jump to that idea when the guy fucking shot 800 people. He clearly wasn’t right in the head. He also had a history of heavy gambling and drinking. I don’t smell conspiracy on this one. This was just a mentally unwell guy who made a decision to murder; it is, unfortunately, a quintessential American story that keeps repeating.

Those gun bans weren’t passed until 2022, which really puts the lie to the assertion that we stopped talking about it.
Maybe it’s more accurate to say we ran out of new things to say about it, and that’s why it’s not front and center in the news at this current moment. It’s also a hugely divisive issue and nobody seems to have a solution to the problem that doesn’t just piss off a bunch of other people, so in an election year it’s the last thing policy makers want to bring up.

Okay, but what do you like about it?
Why do so many people go online and think it’s suddenly normal human behavior to walk into a room griping about something?
- Comment on Star Trek: Discovery final season will premiere at SXSW; logline released 3 months ago:
Temper your expectations and it’s perfectly enjoyable.
- Comment on George Carlin's thoughts on class structure and the rich 3 months ago:
Nah, it’s just incredibly rude and obnoxious to imply a person is a sex pest just because you’re too fucking lazy or incompetent to spend ten seconds on a search engine and find out you can’t tell two very different people apart.
- Comment on George Carlin's thoughts on class structure and the rich 3 months ago:
Whatever you think of the results or the implications, it’s hard to deny that it is in fact interesting. People downvoting you for saying so ought to be ashamed of themselves.
- Comment on George Carlin's thoughts on class structure and the rich 3 months ago:
Carlin’s great wisdom is in understanding that how things are is the greatest joke of all.

One of the 20th Century’s greatest popular philosophers.

Oh look, another post in 2024 about that one episode that takes place in 2024. What an original think piece.
- Comment on Quentin Tarantino's 'Star Trek' Movie Would Have Been a "Balls-Out Hard R" Movie 4 months ago:
Quentin’s pitch: “So there’s an entire species where they’re all feet. And Kirk says the n-word. Like, a lot.”
- Comment on Let's remember some Star Trek games 4 months ago:
At the very least, the music is great and the writing is full of great jokes and also some pretty compelling sci-fi scenarios that would have fit perfectly in the series. If point and click adventure games aren’t your speed, find a walkthrough (theynarent hard to find online) and refer to it whenever you’re stuck.

I had that one! There was a Borg game in the same vein, but it wasn’t nearly as entertaining.

You don’t actually have to watch it. You also don’t have to complain about it in literally every thread about it.

- Comment on Do not go Shopping Thanksgiving Day 5 months ago:
Or Black Friday either.
In fact, if a store is telling you to shop there, that’s good reason to not.

This feels like early internet content, and not in a good way.

I recommend watching her videos on .5 speed.
- Comment on In a way, Tasha Yar's fate actually worked out really well for the series 5 months ago:
The execution of it was pretty lackluster.
- Comment on In a way, Tasha Yar's fate actually worked out really well for the series 5 months ago:
I agree completely. And Yar was a boring character anyway. The Romulan storyline was also pretty dumb.
