Children, we ride for stovokor

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.

Ya that episode is great. It lurked in the back of my mind every episode afterward, always hoping to hear any sort of throwaway line about the fate of that ship.

I stared at this so long I was late for my meeting

Haha yes, thanks. The power of a traumatic episode huh?

Wow good guess, so it’s 3 songs then. Those 2 plus particle man.

As I stare at this meme, bewildered, I realize I am only a dilettante that knows 2 songs 🤣😆

If we’re going to take that last shot literally, Baraam is warp-capable

Wow. Turns out I walked away after “Your Mama IV” and completely missed this final shot of the space station going to warp.

Thanks, I hate it.

So the Terran empire runs some kinda hunger games for the next evil emperor… and the current evil emperor is just cool with abdicating I guess?

I wish I could enjoy it, but it just feels so dumb to watch a fairy tale transfer of power in the most evil setting.

Long answer, but good answer friend.

This in particular is gold:

in this future, humanity still succumbs to the pains and pitfalls of present-day life in a way that suggests we won’t grow out of them

I thought Section 31 was some shit clinging to the bowl, but the writers keep assimilating it into the Star Trek matrix so much so that it implies the Federation of TNG is a naive facade 😔

Viva Mintaka III 💪🏴 I love that episode for having primitive superstitious Vulcanoid aliens instead of generic humanoids.

We live in a world that has ~~walls~~ federation worlds, and those federation worlds have to be guarded.

Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Barclay?
