And yes, I see the cruel irony of putting Stamets over Spacey.

WTF .... unbelievable ... I'm amazed, shocked, surprised, confused, and flabbergasted.
I was aware of the story of Spacey ..... I didn't know the person he had assaulted was Anthony Rapp and I didn't know Rapp now plays a starring role in Star Trek: Discovery
Now I have to watch Star Trek: Discovery
I also have a new found appreciation for @Stamets@startrek.website ... thanks for sharing your story and who you are here ... in an age of anonymity, that is a big thing to do ... Personally I'm proud of you and everything you've done and continue to do for this community. I'm a big fan and I'm sure there are lots more here who would say the same.
Wow what a day to be on Risa .... I love all you guys on here ... keep doing what you're all doing ... It's a beautiful light in a darkening internet.
I just watched my first episode last night and I feel like a teenager again when I first saw TNG ... I was waiting to see it all later but after all this, and Risa and the memes and you and the memes ... I feel excited again. Love you too!
The last 2 seasons is where it really got good for me. The complex stuff they had to do to interact with aliens so staggeringly different from humans... know discovery gets a lot of hate, but first time I watched it, it was what I always wished star trek would be. More believable, realistic, hazy grey areas, way better special effects, cinematography.
All star trek is good, tho.
Serious time: this is one of the reasons I really enjoy this community. We shitpost, but we also give a shit. We try to be good to each other, and we try to be constructive.
Makes sense, I suppose; after all, the only really meaningful currencies in the UFoP are reputation and character.
Just about sums it up.
I believe the story came out just as Discovery was starting.
