Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Crazy, right? That some dude obsessed with Jesus metaphors, space Catholicism, social "degeneration," and how Empire is Good, actually, as long as it doesnt do any of that pesky welfare would be a conservative phobe?
Idk Hyperion was good though. Well, I thought it was just okay, but I see why people liked it.
Lol, that makes a lot of sense.
