That caused generational trauma

He’s having flashbacks to when the whales attacked.

Or when he conspired to try and start a war.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well… yes and no. The most recent home media release removes all those scenes about the war, the assassination and the reveal.

EDIT: I don’t know why Paramount couldn’t just settle on a director’s cut that they clearly state is separate from the theatrical cut which is canonical. They keep changing the cut with each release.

EDIT 2: I am sure @[email protected], you know this. I’m adding this for others reading my comment who are unaware. Throughout the years, various home media releases for STVI, have inconsistently included and removed a number of (if not all) scenes regarding a secret plan to keep Federation and Klingon Empire at war, as well as the assasination attempt on the Federation President and on top of that a reveal that the assassin was a Human disguised as a Klingon, and revealing that the Human is Colonel West (played by René Auberjonois). A old Director’s Cut showed the fake rescue plan by West and how he eventually was going to attempt to kill the Federation President. Subsequent releases would jumble what scenes got included. Someone would show Colonel West rescue plan scene and the assassination attemp but never the reveal while others showed just the reveal. As of the latest 4K release, all of these scenes have been removed again.

It adds depth and intrigue to the story. The extra run time is worth it. Just silly to leave it out or chop it up haphazardly. Even TOS has its share of corrupt captains.

René famously was unaware of the first VHS release editing back in his scenes. Some versions oddly don’t credit him when a scene is present.

If Worf doesn’t say “this is not Klingon blood” then I don’t wanna watch it!

As a former resident of Southern Louisiana I can tell you that there is a chance, well north of zero, that saying that would earn you a visit to the sugar cane field. Not bad enough for a one way mud boat ride but I wouldn't test that theory.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Are those a beating and getting fed to alligators, respectively?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Just a beating if you are lucky. Some shady shit happens in the sugar cane fields.

You could get chomped on by a nutria!

Meanwhile, many chefs would consider Cajun style black roux to be burnt dark roux.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

No! A dark roux is a slow toasted roux. It is very risky as it takes 45 minutes to an hour to get just right and if you burn it then you have wasted your time. The flavor is supposed to be nutty, NOT burnt.

A lot of people do not take the time to slow cook a dark roux, so they just burn it and say it is on purpose. Again...No. That shit is foul and any self respecting gumbo aficionado will immediately chuck that mess in the trash. Preferably slowly while maintaining eye contact with the "cook".

And a drink on hand, having gone to the bathroom prior to starting.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

This is the way.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah I’ve had my mom several times go “nope that’s not dark enough”. There’s a wide line between having the right darkness and not burning it

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I've taken mine to a dark chocolate a number of times, but no further. Feels like skimming the line near disaster.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Why bother when you can just add some chocolate instead?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

One step further and you can use it change the oil in your car.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

You! Are a mad man!

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I mean, it is. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The dark flavor is perfectly necessary. It’s liquid smoke, but better.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It means that Gul Dukat is not cursing but blessing Sisko. The facial expression works both ways.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Oh. Oh you did not.

Was this the basis of the Dominion War?

I think this was the basis of the Dominion War
