I don’t even own a Slipknot.

I did grow to like Mariner as we got to see her realize that her behavior isn’t sustainable. The episode where her Academy bestie is already a captain was really great character work which was not something I was expecting from an animated Trek show (and really something missing from Discovery and Picard even though…

A great example of that is the episode where Mariner creates a Trek movie on the holodeck. It began with the trumpet-forward score playing over credits on a starfield, featured full-on phaser disintegrations in a way the films only do and had the minute long ship flyby.

It was appointment TV for me- the humour is a perfect balance of mockery and love. The tongue-in-cheek shoutout to Archer and the Enterprise in the finale was the cherry on top.

It’s clearly made by people with deep love and knowledge of the franchise, and I love that they hardly ever feel any need to explain the deep cuts. And it was amazing to finally get an update on the Exocomps.

So what did everybody think of Lower Decks? I think it’s the best Trek since DS9 and the best first season of a Trek show since either TOS or ever. I’m deeply Internet Outraged that the AV Club didn’t cover it.

It’s 2020 grow up.

I will never, for the rest of my life, understand the violent anger of people who are upset about being asked to wear masks. It’s such a nothing inconvenience with clear benefits for the individuals and society. There’s no amount of empathizing or psychologizing that will put me in that mindset. It’s like trying to…

“Do I!? I go hard in the paint, ni-... *Jason glances at Pence, who quickly mouths “Not yet”* ... umm, ninja!”

I hope the next time someone asks this (preferably from Fox News) she answers “2 Corinthians”.

Why are you surprised? Isn’t finding bugs exactly what betta testing is for?

I’m genuinely asking. Because I feel hopeless, not pessimistic. Despair, not cynicism. Don’t you fucking blame me or anybody else who has been pissed off of years. What a shitty assumption and blame-shifting.

Oh her daughter could get one.  She just doesn’t want any other woman to be able to get one.

Why do people keep insisting that this is an election where losing is an option? People did that in 2016. After all the pain and suffering, are we still hungry to keep going down this road to perdition?

I feel like these posts are just a pretext to show us more Cheddar pics. In such case I would like to state that I’m all for more Cheddar content with or without science. Please.

This is something most people who’ve had a cat for over 10 years eventually picked up on their own after watching the cat do it to them.
