  • Where's my Star Trek: Dipshit?

    Jump

  • Just finished watching Murderbot, and it definitely speaks to how well this could work. Star Trek would also just suit Apple’s brand very well, as a sleek forward looking tech company. Heck, one of the more enduring gags about the Abrams films, after the lens flares, was the Apple Store bridge.

  • Ex-Superman Dean Cain Says James Gunn Made a ‘Mistake’ Calling Superman an ‘Immigrant’ and ‘It’s Going to Hurt’ the Box Office: ‘How Woke Is Hollywood Going to Make This Character?’

    Jump

  • It sounds like you’re thinking of Tom Welling of Smallville. This is the Superman from Lois and Clark in the ‘90s. Costumed in episode one.

    Edit: clearly doesn’t mean he’s not a loser, though. But I enjoyed the show.

  • there is hope for anyone...

  • No way. Most Disney characters are horny as hell.

  • But if we don’t let twitter users whinge about obviously exaggerated and satirical drawings, how will they feel superior to everyone else??

  • FUCK HIM

  • It's a complete mess -

    • "So, he's really into this three year old..."
    • "Oh no!"
    • "No, it's not like that! Her people age rapidly, so she's actually fully mature."
    • "Huh. Well, I guess maybe..."
    • "Yeah, but he does totally act like her father, anyway. A super jealous insecure father."
    • "Does her family have something to say about this?"
    • "Oh, they leave behind her entire race and everything she knows in the first episode. But he proooobably didn't pressure her into it?"
    • "Probably??"
    • "They decide it offscreen. Anyway, he's the ship's lovable goofball!"

  • FUCK HIM

    Jump

  • Mortal Coil? Joking aside, Neelix became a lot more tolerable to me after Kes left the show so half his deal stopped being what a controlling creep he was with her. I'll admit he had some good episodes and solid character development over time.

  • FUCK HIM

    Jump

  • Fair, but I also don't give a shit about Tuvok or Neelix.

  • Moriarty was a TNG villain. Why would he fight for the people who left him to rot in holographic limbo? At best he's sitting this out, more likely he's joining the other side.

  • Spoiler Alert

    Jump

  • They called it out in TWoK, too. It was the first thing out of David’s mouth when it came up. And the movie ends with Kirk admitting that cheating the test left him unprepared for real failure.

  • Spoiler Alert

    Jump

  • According to the Shatnerverse, reprogramming the test has become the expectation in the 24th century. The meaning of the test has completely inverted over time to become a lesson about thinking outside the box to win.

  • Decisions, decisions

    Jump

  • Agreed, you need that sweet water cooler talk to enjoy a show to its fullest.

  • Also one of TNG’s creepier episodes. At least it left a pretty strong impression on me as a kid.

  • But, no, the lizard thing didn’t happen to Geordi.

    Or did it?

    I don’t see it, but you do you.

  • "I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked." - Trekkies

    Jump

  • Yeah, I understand not every show can last, but it became such a pattern with Netflix that it seemed like there was no point getting invested in anything new. If it wasn’t a Stranger Things level hit, it was guaranteed to be prematurely punted.

  • I left Netflix when they canceled Santa Clarita Diet and never looked back.

  • Cmd. Riker chooses who has to follow uniform code apparently

  • This and a couple other comments in this thread point to an aspect of Star Trek’s world building that hasn’t sat right with me for a long time. It’s supposed to be an utopianistic, egalitarian future. There’s no scarcity or need on Earth so everyone is supposed to be here because they want to be, out of a love of exploration and scientific advancement. So why is there such a disparity in treatment based on rank? Why does an ensign get stuck with a bunk in a hallway while Captain Picard gets a cushy executive suite? O'Brien at least had real quarters to raise his family in, but they were a comparative closet next to the bachelor Captain's. Doesn't seem right to me.

    All to say that, in my mind, if an ensign needs to stick to a manner of dress, so should an officer of rank. They're all part of the same fleet and deserving of the same respect.
