Hell ya! One of Quark’s finest scenes:
They have weapons. You have weapons. Everyone has weapons. But right now, no one has a clear advantage. So the price of peace is at an all-time low. This is the perfect time to sit down and hammer out an agreement. Don’t you get it? Attacking the Cardassians now will only escalate the conflict and make peace more expensive in the long run. Now, I ask you, is that logical?
I want to believe in the age of enshittificiation that The Martian Chronicles will take on a new life.
It’s so bleak how it ends with highways and diners everywhere.
That was a great read, thanks.
Kinda surreal to read about disco without also reading about disappointment.
Wildest part is how good it sounded at the time:
“Things are at a fever pitch right now, I believe we can all agree. The devastation, the oppression, the genocide, the division around the world, I think it has reached a fever pitch, and I absolutely think that it’s causing people to lose hope in a lot of ways,” she says. “So yes, I think people are looking for something to hold onto, they’re reaching and grasping for glimmers wherever they may find them. It’s why I feel so honoured and blessed to be a storyteller, number one, and to be telling this story, because I believe it speaks to that. I believe seeing this utopian future, even with its challenges, is incredibly, incredibly hopeful and inspiring.”
I feel they already have; the Klingon bridge crew from the musical episode appeared as TNG-ridged.
Truly a subtly unretconning of the Klingon look without even addressing it.
TNG character headcanon?
Worf is a narcissist. Reason: Kurn and Alexander were kept until no longer useful to him then discarded. #Justice4Kurn
Universe headcanon?
The Vulcans are augments and the romulans are the baseline diaspora. Reason: every time TPol was unphased by the anomaly because of her [superior] Vulcan physiology.
They can be archived without being playable
You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.
Imagine an archive for unreadable books, unwatchable films, and unplayable games too!
the best series finales are always double-episodes
I think you’re right:
TNG: 2-parter, check
DS9: 2-parter, check
VOY: 2-parter, check
ENT: 1-shot, check
DISCO: 1-shot, check
Romulans: Don’t Tread Mintaka On me
How about Elric of Melniboné?
How many more Targaryens and Geralts must we endure before this is adapted?
Yes a surprisingly fun and satisfying adventure. It really made me wish there was a video game in The Congregation setting.
Dal discovered Adreek’s skeleton, and we learn that Aurelian skulls have spurs of bone projecting from them, presumably covered by the feathers.
Me: Aurelians have…feathers?
Some searching later…
Me: Oh Aurelian not El-Aurian

Enterprise getting a second lease on life by virtue of no longer being the worst? I’m here for it 💪

Now that’s an obscure gem and suddenly I want to hear that 80s synth song from Matt Berry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO-ZGP68-3w
As an ENT fan, excellent choices 👌
I think the mirror universe arc was the best.
As someone who enjoyed S1 the most, I completely agree. The closest trek yet came to “prestige” and then it slipped away :(
“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!
