“Oh honey, what a nice, family friendly moral”

Lmao yeah dude I’m sure you were all super unique and individuals, way more than the people above, totally. 

This story brought to mind a wonderful memory. Mary & Hugh.
An aged bohemian couple, who lived in unmarried bliss in a wonderful ex-whorehouse near Long Beach (with red flocked wallpaper, numbers were still over the bedroom doors and the bathroom had a hidden panel to a sun porch to hide the sailors when the shore…

I’ll admit it, I wasn’t ready for Andrew to start freestyle rapping.

Utah is the painting in Florida's attic. Or vice versa. 

The helmet full of coins is fascinating. I hope it’s some sort of Ducktales-type zaniness, where Boba Fett tries to hide as many coins all over his body has he can, including stuffing them inside his helmet and then putting the helmet on, to mixed success.

Having more Ming-Na Wen in Star Wars is too good to pass up and I am glad they’re doing this with Boba Fett’s series.

As someone who thought that Bobba Fett should have stayed in the Sarlac Pit, I have to admit: Bringing him back as an excuse to do “Space Sopranos” seems like a far more clever idea than I originally gave them credit for.

Nah, I’m sorry, I think that’s a lot of semantics to get to a place to emotionally avoid Tuvix’s anguish, which is understandable. The emotional appeal isn’t nothing. I haven’t actually discussed this episode in years because I generally think it’s bottom 5 across all series, but as a healthcare attorney and bodily…

Tuvix is basically the trolley problem, in that you can actively kill this one guy to restore your two friends, or passively just let them keep being “dead” so he can live.  How obvious the solution is seems to vary widely with different people, as in the original thought experiment.

No, you are incorrect and philosophically sloppy.

I think they’ve avoided making Mariner a Poochie. She seemed like that’s what she was going to be early on, but the show has done enough exploration of her flaws (that she’s been stuck as an ensign for far longer than the average Starfleet officer, she’s very competent but constitutionally allergic to responsibility,…

I like Mariner, because she’s the Young Brat version of most TREK heroes. Something will settle her down and she’ll grow into her natural ability to lead — I think she’s starting to, even with all the “Mariner’s being a troublemaker again!”

Or that Archer and Phlox let an entire planet succumb to an easily curable disease because “evolution”.

Or that Archer spent an entire season Operation Enduring Freedom-ing his way across the galaxy.

It baffles me that people fixate on Tuvix when Janeway is literally responsible for the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands.

I’m sure that Janeway will teach them important lessons about Starfleet. Such as if two of your officers merge into a single, independent, gestalt being; said being has absolutely no rights and can be murdered for literally any reason.

How is that “the same thing?” The only way those two things are equivalent is if you’re such a massive coward that the very idea of any consequences at all stops you from speaking.

It’s an interesting question! The discussion starts out pretty simply most of the time. If you want to tread into potentially offensive territory, look for who has the power in a situation and target them. Comedy is strongest when de-fanging a villain, not joining the other bullies, so avoid targeting marginalized…
