Time to start growing that beard...

Let your freak flag fly, maaaaaaaan.

Okay, hear me out:

Star Trek: In Space!

preach

I think it's definitely a bubble that will burst eventually.

At the same time, I don't think there's any way to put the toothpaste back in the tube. This technology is out there, and even once the hype has died down, we're going to be dealing with it forever.

If you have to make things up that weren't in the episode, I'm going to respectfully suggest that your point is pretty bad.

I'm also going to suggest that you know that it's pretty bad, which is why you chose to employ such a weak rhetorical device to begin with.

But sure, I'm the one that's offended!

I believe I did responf directly to your misrepresentation of the facts, but do go on.

(please don't go on)

I think the cause of the Burn is a nearly-perfect example of Star Trek's humanist values, and find it interesting when people feel the need to go out of their way to misrepresent it with words like "magic" in an effort to justify their dislike of it.

I was fully expecting a villain (possibly because every press release has referred to a threat), but I hope it's a unique flavour of villain.

It sounds like he's going to play one of the kids' dad or something - given the 32nd century status quo, a more political antagonist could be fun.

Maybe a Terra Prime type or New Essentialist type?

I couldn't agree less re: the 32nd century. They've created an interesting setting, and I'm glad they're going to keep it alive.

Yes, it's been absolute pandemonium in the streets since the CAF dress code was relaxed in 2022. Thank goodness they are addressing this very real issue that the average Canadian cares deeply about.

Sigh...

Zefram Cochrane. No "ph."

Try to guess which is which - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Scott "Jonathan Archer" Bakula, Alex "Guy In Charge of the Franchise" Kurtzman, and Wilson "Hugh Culber" Cruz.

I think there are some factors to consider that might make it seem less bad.

Firstly, it may not be reasonable to impose human-scale values upon Zora - you could argue that she's already hundreds of thousands of years old, and she almost certainly has a unique perspective on existence.

There's also no indication that she was coerced into accepting the assignment, and she had demonstrated the capacity to disobey orders before. It appears she's there by choice, even if she is lonely.

Okay.

They really should've gone with a Thermos.

Could someone please adapt this video into a full-length stage musical? That's the only type of content I consume so it's only reasonable for someone to do this for me.

Kovich apparently also has Janeway's microscope in his office, though it doesn't get a close-up.

My experience with modding an external community hasn't been too bad, but it's a very lightly used community, and there's also a mod with a local account, which gives a certain level of safety.
