He's been meaning to ask her why her uniform is a catsuit made of office carpet.

Private Lee Lemon may well be the finest recruit I've seen in all my years of service. That young man fills me with hope and some other emotions that are weird and deeply confusing to me.

me: Now when it comes to Ferengi-centric episodes of DS9, Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places, while good, doesn't hold a candle to subversive gems like House of Quark (which actually preceded this episode), Bar Association, and Little Green Men.

them: shutup shutup shutup!

Balrogs hate him, one weird trick to slay kings of men.

However, is it only Brakka who is responsible for the con, or is and has Anisha Mir been part of a long con of both Ake and her son from the start?

I like where you're going. My own hunch is we'll learn that Anisha (at Nus' behest after he rediscovered Caleb) agreed to embed malicious code in her encrypted messages to Caleb (and that she only begrudgingly agreed because she lost hope he would read them) and that's how Nus will snatch victory from the jaws of defeat from Capt. Ake at the very last moment, that he actually won the moment Caleb opened that first message from his Mom.

Probably not exactly that, but something along the lines of discovering that Nus has always been 2 steps ahead.

90s Trek was fantastic and did a great job handing off to each other. Even Voyager being stranded was still moving the world forward. Then we reset back to the first Enterprise, absolutely killing all the momentum.

The best thing Discovery ever did (apart from soft launching Strange New Worlds which got lucky) was launch us into the far future and give us a place to build.

I feel this is a powerful argument against prequels in general, not just for star trek.

Like, I cant help but think you're right. The latter half of disco did indeed move the setting to a place where Academy can pick up and it seems like it's working.

We have to accept that Star Trek is almost like scifi’s version of the Simpsons. It’s done everything.

Nowadays, especially nowadays, I'm just grateful that the optimistic spirit/energy of star trek is having a next next generation of its own. I'm here for it. Mostly (sorry disco).

Which imaginary treknologies strike you as the most scientifically sound?

For me it's the replicator turning shit into food, but everything may as well be magic.

[–] MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.website 13 points 4 weeks ago (18 children)

Not sure how that makes it science based…

Just barely, but isn't that normal for treknobabble to be ripped from science headlines?

[–] MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.website 7 points 4 weeks ago (20 children)

Yes and no.

Instant FTL? No.

Science-based? Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Stamets

Meanwhile, Easter

 

and then he retired to the shire to grow cabbage. the end.

 

Its not like these clowns will actually win the siege of Antioch and then betray me for wisely noping the fuck out. And later return to conquer us, their fellow christians. Nah, that could never happen 🙃

Not OC, this is an old crusader kings 2 meme template.

Jason Vigo: dna manipulated by vengeful ferengi

Shinzon: dna manipulated by vengeful romulans

Jack Crusher: dna manipulated by vengeful human/changeling/borg/hybrids or something like that

 

Well, mostly agree on 😉

 

The emperors of the late fourth and fifth centuries then proceeded to invite people into the house, promising its shelter, if only they would help them light one more fire – and then when the house was burned down and everyone was left on the cold ground, they tried to shift the blame onto the very guests they had invited.

I hope this works, the file didn't upload the first time I tried. These are the cool weapons I've used up to chapter 4: wintry rapier, azure dragon crescent glaive, booster glaive, and etiquette.

This game is great 🤌
