Gah what a fucking tool.

Well at least he isn’t getting paid when I rewatch Ace Ventura 2 on plex 😎

Don’t you get it? You cocksucker! I work for Dick Jones! Dick Jones! He’s the Number Two Guy at OCP. OCP runs the cops.

it seems like Trip Tucker was one of the three main characters, Phlox was a constant presence even if rarely the main character, and then Mayweather and Hoshi got like one episode a season in which they were even involved.

Nailed it I’m afraid.

One the plus side, all episodes with Phlox are better for having him, except when he’s clearly pushing the awkward romance plots along.

The real tragedy is Travis and Hoshi; at least they finally get to shine (a little) on the mirror universe episode 😎

New Star Trek movie you say?

we wanted to send a valentine to the franchise, and I still stand by the concept of the episode, which is it’s actually an episode of Next Generation where they’re looking back at Enterprise on the holodeck, which I think is a cool idea

That’s cool sure.

But on the other side: Reddit betrayed the social contract and deserves to rot in consequence.

One droplet of lost engagement becomes an ocean; just stop showing up 🤷‍♀️

Sokath my eyes uncovered

It’s hard to come up with a circumstance and a buy-in where you can still have Star Trek adventures with real stakes and real peril, but it’s also a school.

White Squall. In space. 🤞

Fuck yes, sign me up! ENT fans want to get fed!

The show ended right as Archer entered his prime, just after we saw him broken and beaten by a real year of hell. I want to see that prime era Archer (of which we were robbed) in flashbacks as the current one is once again broken and beaten by another year of hell.

I really hope they get this off the ground 🙏

and all distros jumped into the honeypot

As a filthy casual this is the most distressing part.

I’ve observed the situation shift in just a few years from

“Winter Systemd is coming”

To

“Winter Systemd is here, it’s everywhere, and i hate it”

Meanwhile, Final Fantasy Tactics with the translation-so-bad-it’s-might-be-a-masterpiece.

Actually interesting and novel ability names

Japanese: Dance with knives

1997 Localization: Wiznaibus

WotL Localization: Mincing Minuet

Dialog that pulls no punches

Japanese: My bad, but it’s between you and your god

1997 Localization: Tough luck…Don’t blame me. Blame yourself or God.

WoTL Localization: Forgive me. 'Tis your birth and faith that wrong you, not I.

Other gems lost in the improved localization:

• “heavens wish to destroy all minds”
• “the doom of a planet”
• “evanescence, such a sad word”
• “time, save your kindness for the worthy”

All that being said, the final fantasy gang is generally spectacular with English mastery. It’s like you can tell which books they like to read when they choose obscure words like Eidolon.

It’s obvious in HN because of the wide range of obscure topics (eg installing scaffolding on old British smoke stacks) that occasionally arise to the front page, all the ones on that topic are quickly flagged to oblivion.

You don’t have to be a genius to see the pattern 🤷‍♀️

Hey I’m actually growing a black sapote!

Here’s a blurry pic of the fruit forming

Oh is it finally time to eat?

the float will feature an homage to Vasquez Rocks, the local landmark where “Star Trek” has filmed

Yes 😎

I want to see an animated series of the future federation historians that have to read the copious amount of unhinged reports from 24th c. starfleet captains.

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

Truer now than when Henry Ford said it like a hundred years go.

The SEC exists to shelter Self Regulating Organizations from any threats of democratic governance or law enforcement. Oh ya and to keep up the legalese charade that there literally is no such thing as counterfeit stock (because the Secret Service has purview over counterfeiting for some strange reason)

Fuck the stock market 🖕

ENT 4x23 Archer vs Shran fight 👌

Gul Dukat

Maybe you drew too fast shot yourself in the foot?

Gul Dukat is arguably the most wellformed villain in ST canon. He is a delusional maniac pursuing a twisted vision of greatness. He even works alongside our heroes for a time!

Can I offer you an Armus instead?

I have 0 desire to ever rewatch a single episode

If there’s one thing I’d like to peek behind the curtain to see, it’s the streaming metrics for each trek.

My gut instinct is that almost nobody wants to rewatch it unless it is their own favorite trek. I know I don’t.
