I always liked the other one where Garfield was left in but all his thought bubbles were removed, so it just became a deadpan documentary about a slightly unhinged loser’s life with a cat.

…which many of us can relate to. :P

I really liked what Voyager had with the basic episodic format but with a slow accumulated progress over time. It’s a happy medium between totally disconnected eps and hyper-serialized continuous stories.

Oh god, I forgot about that! Season 1 of this show just really needs to be chucked into a memory hole. I don’t understand how people defend it as “the only decent season of DSC.” It’s absolutely wretched by every measure, but even more so when measured against the tone and optimism that’s vital to Trek. Subsequent seasons are fumbling messes, sure, but the first is a special kind of awful.

And you are are making us all happy by sharing Trek memes, and that will eventually make it back to you. Steady as she goes, Ensign! 🚀❤️

I was never subbed anyway, but I also made sure to find a LTT vid and click on “don’t recommend channel” on YouTube.

Nuking from orbit is the only way to be sure.

I demand a news site where all articles are written in this fashion NOW!! This is solid fucking gold!

If your organization is too big to act with integrity then maybe it’s time to downsize a bit.

Jesus… it is time to seriously re-evaluate and pare back the extensions I use. Ugh.

Actually boycotting ironically hurts in this situation.

Writers and actors are encouraging people to keep watching and taking about shows & movies because that underscores the value they bring and are trying to get recognition for, ultimately bolstering their case.

Keep watching anything and everything folks!

Curious what others think about this, but I was wondering about the mechanism for how the parameters of the quantum uncertainty field were defined to create a reality that follows the 'rules' of the musical genre. Uhura transmitted Anything Goes into the subspace fold, but that's just a structured harmonic pattern (or however Pelia called it) and even if you took the song's content into account, it doesn't inherently contain any kind of comprehensive definition of common musical tropes (songs tending to give voice internal character motivations, choreographed dancing, songs combined into a medley, etc).

So were the crew thoughts somehow influencing the "selection" of the improbability fields? If so, how? Is the subspace fold sentient somehow? And even if so, all the anomaly knew was that a ship full of life forms was beaming something at it, how would it know which life form in which room was the one pressing the button and that their thoughts should be doing the 'driving'? (Heaven help us if it decided to read Ensign Johnson's mind down on Deck 7 and get a glimpse into the world of Federation-era Furry fandom!) What do you think?

Personally, I think this is some good ol' fashioned TOS-style handwaving that we're not meant to think too much about, but that's not the kind of thinking we get paid for around these parts. 😜

The fact that “patient dumping” happens often enough for there to be a term for it infuriates me.
