It worked for me. In the flashbacks, they were obviously extremely close during the time of the Romulan evacuation. He was her mentor. Maybe her lover, but not necessarily.  And when you learn someone you care for has a terminal diagnosis, you tell them you love them.

What is it with Bible-thumpers and dancing?  Why even bother to have such a “banquet?” 

Sexual desire is far from meaningless without procreation. Pleasure, intimacy, social bonding — these are as meaningful as mere reproduction to humans, maybe more so. It cheapens human sexuality to claim it’s just about furthering the species. If that were the case we would never have developed sequestered ovulation…

Yes. I find the idea that a computer backup would be “me” and everyone would pretend it is, horrifying. That LoreKeeper Beta might know and remember everything I ever knew, might behave in the exact same way I would to any external stimulus, but it isn’t the “me” who is typing this right now, any more than a “Save As”…

I don’t think it’s so bleak. Those people would have all their material needs met, and a clear purpose for their life — the mission — which most people on Earth never have, beyond bare survival.

We are all enlisted to complete this journey on this globe spinning through space whether we want to or not.  I don’t see any difference.

I was wondering about that. Pretty sure it’s canon that Romulans have lost, or deliberately allowed to atrophy, Vulcan’s telepathic powers. But if Commodore Oh is a Vulcan, why on earth is she helping the Romulans? And if she’s a Romulan deep cover agent, how could she have hidden that from Jurati in the mind meld? A…

I agree. That character deserved better. I feel like killing him was just for cheap spectacle, or to give Elnor, and evidently Seven, more to angst over.

When Vader’s mask cracks and they look each other in the eye. Oh, my heart.

The first moment Kanan Jarrus revealed himself as a Jedi in Episode 1 of Rebels. How could you miss that?

What you’re describing is what Iappreciate — for the first time in 25 years, Star Trek is actually moving forward. Not just treading old ground. That means a lot to me.

This makes me so mad. That he would even entertain this idea just proves beyond a doubt that he has no idea WHAT THE FUCK HAS BEEN GOING ON these last four years.

Why so-called professional politicians can’t understand this, is beyond me.

Nothing wrong with getting a check-up. It’s the medieval mindset within which it is couched. Again, I’ll bet young Mormon men aren’t getting “pre-marital” exams to prepare for their wedding night. Because in the patriarchal mindset, men are always and fervor ready, willing and able for sex, while it is a favor women…

About goddamned time!

That guy is creepy AF, but the woman actually looks like she’s into it, so, whatever floats your boat I guess.

The problem is indicating otherwise healthy women need them to “prepare” their vagina for the “ordeal” of normal heterosexual sex. No, what they need is a male partner who knows how to arouse and satisfy them. Don’t hear anything about Mormon men getting “premarital” exams.

If it’s that meaningful to her, it’s tacky to style it and put it on Instagram. Come on. You can’t have it both ways.

Not often? I think we see it every day.

A diplomat’s wife? I imagine she does. It extends to diplomats and their immediate families who are in country with them.
