This cracked me up.

"Seconds, minutes, hours, they crawl by on hands and knees for Mr. Henry Bemis, who looks for a spark in the ashes of a dead world. A telephone connected to nothingness, a neighborhood bar, a movie, a baseball diamond, a hardware store, the mailbox that was once his house and now is rubble; they lie at his feet as battered monuments to what was but is no more."

This is hilarious, but there's a missed opportunity:

Instead of, "but Bones you can't play them" it should have been "But Bones, you're a doctor, not a piper"

I met the 2nd Dax actor at a convention in 1999. She was big mad during the autograph signing, because her agent told her she'd get money for each autograph, on top of the money they paid her to be part of a special signing event.

As I remember it, the show has tons of metaphor and allegory regarding homosexuality, but they refused to have any overtly gay characters, which was such a huge misstep.

Strange New Worlds has a good storyline addressing transphobia.

Are any of them on Q's level? Honest question.

I agree completely. Just found the meme amusing :)

I enjoyed Q's appearances, but it was a strange choice to add what amounts to a literal god to the series.

Data had me at "Of course, but... [I am] fully functional... in every way. I am programed in multiple techniques. A broad variety of pleasuring."

I'm with you on that! I hope we get more classic style Trek, like SNW.

I'm pretty sure a vacation on Risa would slow down Kirk's...exploits. That dude was on a five year mission to explore strange.

I pronounce his name "Toa-ster"

Q did not create the Borg. He only introduced the Federation to them.

"If we all die here, now, you will not be able to gloat. You wanted to frighten us. We're frightened. You wanted to show us that we were inadequate. For the moment... I grant that. You wanted me to say, 'I need you'? I need you!"

Poor Cheeto Shitler...
