Look how they massacred my boy Londo.
First real character I remember in sci-fi. He's a highfalutin blowhard from a noble house, who's fucking broke and has to lose two of his wives.
Then he picks the one that treats him the worst because she lies the least.
Then he goes on to sell his soul to make his planet great again which of course if goes all monkey paw on him.
The dude is a walking pile of contradictions. There's nobody like him in star trek sadly.
A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather’s restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.
Can we get the Andor folks to make this? Turns out the extended story of a supporting character can be amazing when done well.
On top of being an excellent documentary the credits are a masterclass in advertising; I absolutely bought it for all the stuff teased in credits.
Today is a good day to ~~die~~ observe trek fans are fucking lit👏
Never have I been so delighted to read such obscure trivia
Daddy needs to get his rocks off

I swear I remember they cut directly to Obrien and Data with incredulous "did he just say saucer sep" looks on their faces.
Option 2 was known even at the time and appears as a joke in the dilbert cartoon.

This is a clip of dilbert waking to a 7-of-9 alarm clock which proceeds to roast him.
One of my absolute favorites and I'm hoping folks want to talk about it.
Hands down my most reread book. Me, an atheist, never imagined a twisty/puzzly novel about the life and times of future space jesus would speak to me so deeply.
The prose is multidimensional and layered with meanings that only come into focus once you know where it's going.
Some of my favorite examples:
Any other trek fans delighted by Group of Seventeen in book four, realizing it was 10 years ahead of the TNG episode "Darmok"?
I really like the beginning, but it’s all downhill from there
My brutal but fair take:
I feel the bigwigs for Star Trek would sacrifice us all, in a heartbeat, for their own Grogu to get the kiddos buying merch.
And after he beans back out:
Lord! It's a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind!
“The house I grew up in was built by the Dublin Corporation,” Meaney says.
“How could we build houses then and can’t build them now?... It’s fking Thatcherism, Reaganism, the neoliberals and the trickle-down economy that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael both bought into, [the idea] that the market will sort everything out. B***ocks.”
Our boy doesn’t hold back and I’m here for it!
I actually read somewhere that Archer did nothing wrong and afterward I began remembering all these scenes haha.
They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my ~~pain~~ privacy taken away. I need my ~~pain~~ privacy!
Also, Engineering: divert all life support to shields and Helm: initiate attack pattern alpha 💪
So ultimately, I feel like what we’re saying is that in order for Starfleet and that beautiful vision that Roddenberry had of this optimistic utopia, in order for that vision to exist, in order for the light to exist, you need people who operate in the shadows. And it’s a yin and yang. You can’t have one without the other.
I don’t like this sort of mother-goosery in my fully automated luxury gay space communism.
I prefer the assimilating power of root beer as the true defender of the federation.
Maybe you're right.
I had a response written but at one moment I wondered "is this what the writers of Picard told themselves too?"
Maybe TrekCorp isn't at a place right now where they can tell a good standalone story without a clown car procession of cameos and references.
