Be honest: you just wanted an excuse to post that reference, didn't you?

Physics does not work that way, you insolent fool!

Regardless of Klingon muscles, the fact that the blade sticks out sideways from the handle creates a lever arm that tends to make it droop due to gravity whenever it's held horizontally. Even if Klingon hands are different, they're not that different that it's somehow advantageous to keep torquing upwards so the blade points at the opponent instead of the floor.

Side note: if you can do that and retain your memories, by their rules haven’t they invented an immortality machine?

Toss it on the pile with the Khan blood and the rest of the immortality methods we see once and then never hear of again.

Bojack Horseman (Daria = Diane)?

for a 50+ year old TV show.

Fun fact: copyright in the US originally had a term of 14 years, renewable once for an additional 14. Under the standard the Framers intended, TOS ought to be in the Public Domain by now anyway.

...to the point that they somehow got away with giving Quark, of all characters, the moral high ground when criticizing human history.

Honestly, your "the most stable and ethical expression of capitalism" thesis has made me realize just how right Quark was. With humanity, the wealth gained through unchecked capitalism inevitably gets parleyed into political power that destroys the free market that enabled it in the first place. For Ferengi society to be stable, that dictatorial tendency would have to be absent, which means they really are better.

If this were [email protected] I would've written that instead myself, LOL.

Obviously, Ms. Frizzle is a Q.

For non-TNG, I really like Bride of Chaotica from Voyager, which has a similar vibe.

The Ferengi-centric episodes of DS9 are funny, if you're into that sort of thing.

Overrated! 😡

Doesn't count unless you're actively commissioned/enlisted in Starfleet, though.

Either the dude who played T’kuvma had no time to practice Klingon or he had a truly terrible false teeth set that made it impossible for him to speak Klingon.

Hey now, don't be ableist against Klingons with speech impediments! \s
