You can listen to the full song. It’s on the volume 1 score.

I think this might be a joke for those fluent in Klingon. The song at the end of “We’ll Always Have Tom Paris” is described by Mariner as having lyrics about a dude who eats their own hand. That song is titled “batlh vIpoQ!”. The lyrics have nothing do do with that. Just a dude saying he demands honor over and over.

Okay, but which Defiant are we comparing this to? NCC-1764, NX-74205, or NX-74205?

I can top that. I saw a dog at a Korean barbecue restaurant. The ones that serve raw meat for you to cook at your table. Except this restaurant did it buffet style. I never went back.

This sounds like some Brave New World bullshit. Sorry, I recently read Brave New World.

Newspeak would be an attempt to prevent any language that hinted at things deemed “bad”. For example, we couldn’t call this “fascism” with Newspeak because the approved language would remove that word completely. Newspeak isn’t just changing how you say things, but preventing unapproved behavior entirely by saying those things don’t exist.

Where was this group during the first Trump Administration when he started doing that shit?

Well this is both "correct" and wrong simultaneously. The Final Cut, which is the canonical version, states that Deckard is a replicant.

However if you watch 2049, that is specifically a sequel to the non-canon theatrical cut. So the statement would be incorrect in that instance.

Well with Tesla, that was a lawsuit. He was being sued and due to the outcome, board members became co-founders. Legally Musk is considered a co-founder of Tesla.

 

Here is me at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Hilton. This was 1997 (spring or summer). I got to go on The Klingon Encounter (which may have been the only ride-type attraction at the time). The line to enter was lined with status of Borg (First Contact had just come out the previous November).

This is a memory that I hold dear. It made a huge impact on me. Getting to see a recreation of the Enterprise-D bridge, go on a turbolift, use a transporter (just a rotating wall and lights) and the shuttlecraft (think Star Tours) was so awesome. My mom remembers when we were on the transporter pad, having her hand on my chest and feeling my heart rate increase.

The whole attraction was a mix of video featuring TNG cast and live actors.

My birthday was last week (May 17). Decided to get my first tattoo, which I wanted to be Trek related. As a kid my family had a VHS tape with a recording of “All Good Things…” (and for unknown reasons, “Caretaker”). So I have seen the episode a dozen times. It is my favorite episode of the franchise. The image I’m sharing shows the tattoo only three days old.
