  • I wonder how much of the greed comes as a reaction against the [manufactured] scarcity.

    I don't think it's all or none. I suspect it the vast majority though.

  • definitely a form of addiction

    & definitely getting people more entrenched in their groupthink, out of critical thinking ability.

    Both.

  • Speaking as one who uses "fancy words", I can attest, it's no means to garner respect, and more likely people still won't respect what you do, and may even respect you less for the fancy words.

  • Heh. Watched an old episode of Scorpion yesterday. The one with the armed hostage-takers who just had the one demand to the social media data mining company, to delete all the data they've mined. I amused myself a lot, by uttering "I like these guys".

    • a psycho spy

    • a genetic mutant
    • a bigot

    ... Oh, and there's Jake[0], Rom, Leeta, Keiko, Molly, Opaka, Shakaar, Tora Ziyal, Cassidy[1], The Nagus, Martok, ... and Morn.

    Heh. When I started this post, I was just thinking of those first three, then remembered I kinda like Kira better than Odo, Garak, or Quark.

    [0: Wouldnt be a fave. Except when considering S4E2, The Visitor, with old Jake.]

    [1: Wouldn't be a fave.]

  • I don't always speak ill of Star Trek, but when I do, it's usually warranted

  • Fave Star Trek movie... good query.

    Section31. Bad answer. (Good broad concept, absurdly bad implimentation).

    ... What's yours?

    Mine...

    Though I've not watched them for a while... it may still be...

    The motion picture.

    (I know... I'm in a minority. And you may question my taste. ... But at least I didn't say Section 31.)

  • Discussion: Is Kirk actually the womanizer people claim?

    Jump

  • Perhaps gently ease your way into it, with the movies first. In reverse order. Then, less culture shock when jumping to TOS.

    A lot "hero gets the gal" [or doesn't] crap shoe-horned in to (afaicr) every episode. Gets me wondering what trek could be, freed from the producers, the corporation, the industry, etc., not just how different standards from then to now, but what flawed standards of our times could be more savagely exposed. If they were making those mistakes then that we see now, what mistakes are we making now (or even 30 years ago), that are yet to be exposed (by just socially evolving past).

  • No energy whips though

  • But apparently socially acceptable, because they're Ferengi.

  • jk.

    Yeah.

    It was good how they managed to sneak a Ferengi episode into ENT, and have it not mess up the official first contact timeline, since it wasn't properly recorded.

    ... Could have had more energy whips though. ;)
