To be honest I don’t know, so I can’t speak for them, but one might assume that since English is the closest thing to a global language, it would be their primary concern. I remember the people in Prague (for example city guide and hotel staff) complaining that the whole “Czechia” rebranding was a misguided attempt by…

The Czech people I work with plus all the people I met in Prague all hate the new Czechia name. They don’t want their country to be confused with “that hellhole” Chechnya (paraphrasing of course), and they all wanted their country to be known as the Czech Republic.

My feelings exactly. Horribly disappointed. Not sure why I held out hope for Picard after the brutal shitshow that was Discovery, but yeah, 18 years of hoping and waiting to see the TNG cast again, all for nothing.

John De Lancie who played Q actually still looks really great, he aged amazingly well.

Yeah, the budget of this show must have been next to nothing. Say what you will of Voyager, but their Borg sets looked elaborate and suitably menacing. Picard's Borg set is just shiny black hallways.

They had Akira class ships, Galaxy class, Steamrunner class, a whole bunch of (admittedly ugly) kitbash ships.. That’s just off the top of my head, but it means a show 20 year ago had a cooler looking fleet with at least 4 more types of ships than the show that aired yesterday.

Well said. Such a massive disappointment.

Would be better if they could hurl the shit into the sky it seems.

“Out of curiosity, what would you have seen as a satisfying ending?”

Just *registering* a 9-7X here would cost over €8,000 or almost $9,000, which is absolutely insane. And then several thousand a year in road taxes... So that’s the only reason I don’t own one of these beauties.

China is an honest to god communist dictatorship though. Does America have countless of areas where much improvement is needed? Sure, clearly, but at least it’s still a democracy. (Or it’s supposed to be one anyway.)

That gif is never not funny.

Amazing!

I’m honestly wondering how much it would cost (assuming you already have the car and parts) to have a coach building company turn a sedan into an estate. One guy in Sweden already did just that, using the rear hatch from an Opel Insignia station wagon.

There’s a couple that in fact did make it into private hands!

I think it's from the movie The Change Up, with Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds.

My dream car has it too!

“Yeah, well, I hate that you wrote this.

I hope so, for your sake. Just 5 days is insane! 

Obviously it's none of my business but what do you do for a living? Just 5 days, jesus christ...
