So if Wakanda was doing “more things” in the background, why didn’t they intervene when Italy invaded Ethiopia and used chemical weapons in violation of the Geneva Conventions?

Between Star Trek: The Animated Series (ended 1974), and TNG (began 1987), there was no televised Star Trek created. So yeah, technically all TV Trek since 1974 to 2024 has had Frakes in it.

I’m fine with fanfic as well, but RP fanfic has always just completely left me cold, cause you know that at some point, the fandom is gonna miss the point and make the fanfic a headcanon instead (like these guys have with the whole “Gaylor” thing).

Which he immediately ignored and rushed to the opposite of the original plan (Kylo Ren as a getting redeemed as opposed to being a committed dark lord), so maybe still tracks for JJ?

Ah, yes:

Lol, turn that on before cutscenes and you get some weird outcomes. I remember one cutscene with Luke and the reptilian Dark Jedi where poor Luke lost his limbs again....

Fuck that, how can you not ask him about Puffin Rock, which is still one of the best kids animation shows ever?

Once again, I gotta fucking love it that apparently diversity (or whatever the fuck “American ESG” is in your personal reality) is an American only desire (and at that a lefty American mainstream only desire).

So if this stuff happened to me, well, they just lost a sale.

Your social media experience is not the same as, well anyone elses. Your feed is structured in a way to reinforce stuff that you already engage with, so just because you’re not seeing it doesn’t mean it’s not there (or even overwhelmingly there).

Err, not a wannabe - Sylens is voiced by Lance Reddick, the actor for Lt Daniels. 

Because a corollary to that strategy is convincing the other half that not only is this normal, anyone who pushes back against it is the worst sort of killjoy loser to ever exist.

Can confirm, have seen this reported in print:

Watched this a few days back when it opened locally. It’s not bad honestly.

spoiler: it’s actually copaganda shit with a mild sci-fi spin to disguise that fact

...and this is why you don’t negotiate with terrorists.

If it’s good enough for the government!
