I regret to inform you that you are now obligated to sing this during Klingon karaoke at every convention you attend that has such an event for at least the next year.
In full costume, of course.
@Lydia_K woke up and chose violence.
Mirror universe Alexander would probably still have two living parents.
Lower Decks captures a lot of that Gene Roddenberry “all the characters are good guys” style better than anything since Voyager as far as I’m concerned.
The Orville is on up there too, but I agree Lower Decks is better.
I'm very unclear on what exactly makes "transporter credits" or "labor vouchers" different from "money."
I’m thinking either Jake has some sort of allowance or stipend, and is exaggerating when he says he “doesn’t have money”
I mean, having walking around money and having Mom-style "now that's walking around money" (i.e. enough to buy a Willy Mays rookie card) are two different things.
Somebody ought to ask Garrett Wang what he thinks about that. (Remind me 11 months from now and I'll do it at next year's Dragon Con if I get the chance.)
Hot take: you don't fully appreciate Q until you've watched all the episodes he's in. That includes the ones in Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Be honest: you just wanted an excuse to post that reference, didn't you?
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.
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 !doctorwho@lemmy.world I would've written that instead myself, LOL.
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.
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
