the holodeck is by far the most exciting Star Trek tech, and it's not close. i do not get what you don't get about the idea of visiting an entire planet that is just one humongous boob, populated by a whole race of Nipple People, and the sun is a big butt, and once every 45 minutes, disembodied but aroused sexual…

DS9 season 7 is kind of terrible, but do NOT put any of the blame on "Take Me Out to the Holosuite"! it was the rare instance of Trek actually doing a fun, humorous episode that didn't suck. DEATH TO THE OPPOSITION!
your 6 year old wears clothes willingly? ours routinely forgets to pull his pants up after urinating. you would think the difficulty walking would be a better reminder.
i wouldn't kill anyone, but i'd marry a team of baseball playing vulcans.
yeah, i mean, he's a sanitized archetype made specifically to be entertaining to 24th century spacepeople. it makes sense he wouldn't be an accurate depiction of the era, which would be fucking grim.
ugh. i don't think you should skip them entirely, but i think a curated list of non-suck is kind of essential. because the first season or two of both TNG and DS9 have a heavy helping of suck mixed in with a smattering of essential episodes.

yeah, me too. RIP years of unregistered comments.
the TNG episode review for "the inner light" popped out around the same time as the Community review for "Modern Warfare" (the paintball episode) and those two reviews simultaneously became the first ever articles to surpass a thousand comments at the AVClub. at the time there was a sidebar on the main page that…
yeahhh at 16 i was logging on to Prodigy and kinda scratching my head at what the point was. there was nothing akin to the www yet on these services. it was mostly just scores of chat rooms full of wide eyed morons marveling at where each other came from. (YOU ARE FROM TEXAS? THAT'S AMAZING I AM FROM OHIO. ARE…
counterpoint: adults are also dumb.
if i could show you some of the technologies we are using right now in our SCIF … you would cry. a "40 free hours of AOL" CD would not look out of place. everyone imagines NSA and CIA offices as cutting-edge high tech hacker dens. but when security is the absolute overriding priority, there are a lot of necessary…
except that's not true. as recently as the 1990s, working class whites were Democrats. the reason they vote against their own interests is because the GOP is the only party offering them ANYTHING. yes, they are offering scapegoats and lies, and to a degree those voters even kind of know that, but they've been given…
i don't believe in such concepts in relation to physical appearance or abilities, but it is likely your taste in movies is ugly and your capacity for critical response is feeble.
not really. they made a pretty feeble excuse if you ask me. basically said "eh, we were young and that wasn't the whole story…" but at no point did they say they were cool with gays now.
was he wearing his motorcycle helmet? did he have his guitar case full of cash with him?
okay but to be fair the skins in your local scene probably responded violently to a LOT of things up to and including if they would like fries with that.
a genre having distinctly Black heritage didn't stop racist oi bands.
we're not talking about offhanded trolling. we're talking about overt attempts to push a specific agenda.
