Huh...I'm sure that's been around for a couple of months...I wonder why it blew up again all of a sudden.

[Sammy Sofa]

The "you're wrong" one? Yeah. The one with all the questions is new.

And we have closure:

Just to be Mr. Pendant (SHOCKER), Obama was polling a good 10-ish+ A LOT against Ryan before the scandal broke.

Seven of Nine! The two best things in Voyager were her and The Doctor.

Possibly, but I'm thinking it's Hugh.

If anyone didn't get to the see the first episode of Picard, it's available for a limited time on PlutoTV and Youtube.

So humans are back to being xenophobic racists in Picard.

I am glad that we are dealing with Romulans though. They are my favorite ST villains.

Let's face it; they always have been in one way or another all throughout ST.

It was the entire plot of Undiscovered Country.

"Oh no, Jim-Boy, the Federation has turned overtly xenophobic and racist instead of 'lovably' xenophobic and racist! Well, call me a green-blooded devil's uncle; I never thought I'd see the day..."

It's all about 'civility' bro'. Be racist & xenophobic the RIGHT way.

[Sammy Sofa]

I think TNG is actually a great example of the kind of "woke" obliviousness where window dressing good intentions often end up just [expletive] all over the people you're supposedly treating as equals. For all the way the characters act and talk like they're this enlightened utopia people, they pretty much treat every alien race like pigeonholed curiosities at best, and out and out savages at the worst. It IS definitely automatically edgelord-y to say something, like, "Q was right," but...well, Q kinda WAS right, especially in the last episode. The human-dominated Federation is largely full of horsefeathers because the humans are full of horsefeathers. I really like how Picard feels like a very natural extension of how that has blown up in their faces.

Yes, but Bones went to Ole Miss, so it's expected that he'd be racist, right?

I'll accept that.

[Regular Show]

Spoiler: show

The show is pretty good so far, but has a very different feel and tone from Star Trek: TNG. The cursing in episode 2 is pretty jarring lol.

This is great. But not as great at the comment that says "I instinctually want to call for the check" hahahah

[Banedon]

Oh hell yes...

CBS has given a series order to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, a brand new series that will be set aboard the original U.S.S. Enterprise and follow the adventures of Captain Pike, Spock, and Number One as they explore the galaxy. Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn, who brought the characters to life on the second season of Star Trek: Discovery, will reprise their roles.
