Isn’t that the guy that played Unicron?

I’ll admit outright that I’m just not interested in most people.

But I’m terrible with names, even with the people I am interested in. I can tell you all kinds of things about a person, just not their name.

It’s kind of bizarre.

I mean, as long as you don’t lose the stick, the rest of it is just frozen water. Uncomfortable, certainly, but I’d be amazed if you could make it to the ER before it melts.

I got Councillor Troi for my ship computer. Good times.

It’s important to note that this specific Nazi is a US Senator, though. Helps illustrate how deep the rot goes.

Thank you for saving me the trouble.

Also, that one didn’t seem to leave any scars.

I think that refusing to hold her hand was unforgivable.

I mentioned to my wife, after Sam had asked, that the Doctor had, in fact, been in love at least once, and maybe three times, but I wasn’t sure one of them counted.

Seems I was wrong. That one did count.

I wonder why the old TOS fans like me are less impatient with fundamentals of human existence being presented through the growth of young adults?

I’m a TNG person myself. One thing that I very much liked about TNG, DS9, SNW, and to an extent VOY was the competency porn. (And then totally inverted in LDK)

This show doesn’t have much of that. It doesn’t even have what ENT had, which learning to be the professionals we want to see. This is still kids learning to be adults. That’s a different journey entirely.

Don’t get me wrong, I quite like it. But it has issues. But then, don’t they all?

I’ll stop picking nits when I’m cold and dead. We trekkies have a reputation to uphold, after all.

But I’ve go nothing of substance that I object to. It’s a bloody good show.

I used to be Catholic. Every Sunday, they performed the transubstantiation on the hosts and the wine. Every Sunday, I subjected both to analysis by one of the most sensitive chemical sensing device in the world.

Every week, it came back as Styrofoam and wine. Never once was it meat or blood.

True, but we don’t have that society, yet we do have the ability to automate a lot of people out of a job.

We could automate those jobs, yes, but then a lot of people would have no jobs at all.

That waste heat is very humid, which causes corrosion and mold issues.

I think Microsoft may be overdrawn on that particular credit line.

I had assumed this was the case from minute one.

It would be nice if this served as a pointed lesson to stop putting useless, unwanted, invasive features and AI into things. Or at least to make them work.

Bread and circuses. It’s not complicated.

You’re assuming that they know the first damn thing about their strongly held lifelong beliefs about the nature of reality.

If my credit card debt vanished, it would measurably improve the quality of the rest of my life. I’m not gonna just pile the debt back up, and not having to make the payments would free up money I could save for retirement or emergency.

I love the shit out of this song.
