The best use of this meme format in years.

Well, in fairness to them, I learned I don’t want no Scrubs. Which is good as I think that aired on ABC

Heads up OP. It could be my app but I don’t see a link in your post.

- Comment on Review: The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko – Trek Central 1 year ago:
It’s only one page long and reads
“I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all… I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it. “Also I’m a god now”

SAG-AFTRA’s strike definitely impacted voice work. Non-guild work exists, and wasn’t impacted, but the main cast of LD are all SAG and have mostly hit the picket line too.

I think that what the authors, and indeed most fans, think is that TWOK was what made TNG possible. Had the film not captured the cultural attention of its time there’s very slim chance that more trek would ever have been produced. It was a Hail Mary and it paid off.

That’s a great analogy and helps me understand your argument much better. There is something I think you’ve missed though, which is that advertisers pay to be in the publication, and they pay at the point the print occurs. Rendering in your browser is the analog to hitting the print button, not putting it on a server to be pulled down. In your analogy, the advertiser has paid already before you consume the magazine; but for YouTube the advertisers don’t pay as their adverts are never compiled into the magazine. If you want to write a browser that still calls the ads api and plays the video in the background so YouTube gets the ad revenue but you have “cut it out” then I don’t imagine google would care half as much.

I am sorry but that argument simply doesn’t make an awful lot of sense to me. Unless I am missing a facet, you are saying that your autonomy outstrips their rights? If we were to make an analogue version of that argument would your autonomy to use your hands how you see fit, allow for you to walk into a shop and take something without paying? It seems like, unless I’ve missed something, that’s the analogy.
Commerce and indeed society has always been a balance of personal autonomy and rules, with YouTube you’re going to a website and circumventing their chosen rules. I might not agree with YouTube’s methods, but I don’t think I can get behind the argument they are impinging on your technical rights any more than Tesco does if you try to half-inch a chocolate bar.

Of what I read the author seems to either not understand linear time, or have explained it poorly. The events of SNW don’t happen “before the … 2009 theatrical release”; they happen after that stardate, by 20 something years, and crucially, in a different fucking timeline…

There were loads of overt Star Wars references in this episode which was fun.
- Music queues were distinctly more John Williams-y.
- Scene transitions hidden behind ships travelling past the screen.
- Scariff style forcefield over one planet.
- Tatooine like architecture.
- Tatooine cantina shape and style to the bar.
- A masked bounty hunter with an unintelligible language is actually an undercover ally.
- The weather station is reminiscent of the Endor shield array.
- Attacking a technological foe with sticks and war cries was similar to the Ewok battle in RotJ.
Some folks had a good day when they signed all that off.

That isn’t a theory, that’s true isn’t it? Original show notes were for Paris to be Locarno, but it was going to be far too expensive for them over the years (total cop out IMHO). Think of Locarno coming back as this; Moore and Shankar are finally getting some of that skrilla
