Just... don’t make the Tyranosaur structural. That’s a mistake.

If I had the money, I’d buy these, then buy Chuck E CHeese, replace the animatronic rat band with animatronic dinos, rename it Jurassic Pizza, then....profit?

So you’re saying I should... spare no expense?

My initial reaction was disappointed, I love those sweet, sweet boys.

Yeah, the one truly indispensable voice in TAZ is Justin as Taako. Everyone else probably should be recast. Not to say the McElroy brothers shouldn’t have any roles in the show. I’d like to hear Griffin as Garfield the Deals Warlock, myself.

Diversity is good, full stop. Apart from that, I’m of two minds. On the first hand, it would be nice for Merle to have a character voice for the first time. On the other, I can't imagine Taako being voiced by anyone but Justin without it sounding like an impression of Justin as Taako.

The massage therapy was so gross, especially the way Trip and Phlox basically forced T’Pol to do it.

Aye, good point. Sisko especially had a fantastically well-defined off-duty life. Like, this scene below is one of my favorites of early DS9, where he’s cooking for his senior staff... and it’s not just usual cooking stuff, instead making cajun food with a real passion behind it. Really helped sell the character and,…

Yeah, the one addendum in the case of Kes is that we actually know for certain that Jennifer Lien wasn’t initially supposed to leave the cast. It was Garrett Wang, whose character Harry Kim the writing team effectively “couldn’t figure out”. But what saved Garrett was that People Magazine named him one of the 50…

I’d say they did a good job giving the other captains an off-duty persona.

I’ve mentioned this before, but a major part of why Kira Nerys is such a dynamic, amazing character that I, to this day, admire and respect (honestly, if I ever have a daughter, my first suggestion for a name would be “Kira”) is because she’s the Mk. II version of the same mold that broke Tasha Yar. Think about it:…

An enumeration of a train wreck can be as long as one has space for. So, towards completionism:

The sad thing is that the massage therapy stuff was at least in service of giving her and Trip an actual goddamn character arc, instead of her being basically the Shrewish Sitcom Mom that tells all of the excited manchildren around her to do things properly. That fucking characterization, can go die in a fire, it was…

Great write-up. Roddenberry was a product of his time and though his vision gifted something of wonder to the world, he was messy in its execution. I think on TOS, he wanted to be progressive but had to swim upstream a lot, which is why we went from the intelligent, cool-nerved Number One to all the women wearing…

It really is a fascinating situation because... well, yeah, Star Trek on this subject is often a “it was often not-good-to-bad, but it was still better than most of the contemporaries” situation.

Surprising omissions here from Enterprise, the show that invented an underwear-only room where characters had to rub each other with lotions.

Enterprise erasure!!!

This listicle format is evil.

Yeah, I admit I raised an eyebrow at this. Like, seriously, she's black, so she has to have a criminal past? Talk about a lack of imagination. 

Wow this is b.s.
