#but i am getting off trek

[acatwithstockings]

One of my favorite things to do is to talk to fellow Trekkies on the english side of the internet and just sprinkle in some agressive german pronouciation of names .

It's not that i like the german pronouciation quite far from it, i just find it hilarious.

You can't tell me our main man Jim, Jim Kirk, James Kirk, James T Kirk, James Tiberius Kirk, CAPTAIN stack of books on legs James Respectful and Sensitive Tiberius Kirk does not know about Vulcan hand touching and their significance.

This man. JAMES KIRK. Looked at Spock, clearly vulcan spock, hands firmly planted behind his back Spock. LOOKED him up and down, and despite absolutely knowing it would not be considered impolite if he didnt offer a hand shake, looked at Spock, tall drink of water Spock, Vulcan sensitive hands used as terms of affection Spock, and was like hmmmm absolutely will make this Vulcan shake my hand. AND SPOCK gave like 1 second of thought before he was like yes absolutely here is my hand to hold for you and you only. I AM DECEASED

im a Move Along Home defender until I die. I won't sit here and claim that its secretly some great episode but listen to me. listen to me. it isnt even a bad episode. its silly, and over the top, and a little bit stupid, but it isnt a bad episode. if you simply allow whimsy into your life then you will find that Move Along Home is a fun, unserious watch

also the reveal that the game was never actually deadly at any point is what really sells it. you cannot tell me that shit isn't fucking hilarious. they go through the traumatic magical game and Quark has to gamble with the idea that he might actually end up killing everybody if he isnt careful and then at the end they reveal that it really was just a silly game this entire time. thats golden

Okay I understand where people are coming from with the "emotional suppression in Vulcans is learned not genetic" talk re: "Charades" but, consider......... the emotional suppression is muscle memory, and the aliens took away the mental muscles that remembered how to do it. It's a crude metaphor on my part, but that was the way I saw it.

Also consider: it's a sci fi show using extremely high-concept bullcrap science on a weekly basis and maybe nitpicking it is a fruitless endeavor because none of it is going to make sense otherwise and enjoying the ride for what it is is a much more enjoyable way to engage with this franchise. Sometimes you need to shrug and let dumb things happen and laugh.

thinking about if tos mccoy had died before romulus was destroyed, tos spock could've been carrying his not-quite-a-katra during the events of the aos movies

It's unfortunate that religion in Star Trek is so controversial because I think converting to Buddhism would fix Mariner

[aceofwands]

idk man I just think of all the franchises you could try to make the Next Big Thing by creating a bunch of new shows and movies, maybe don't pick the one with the notoriously nitpicky obsessed with canon fandom ?? if you don't plan on applying any sort of consistency to the world, characters, alien cultures, entire ethical and moral framework of the universe, etc etc ????

I do not think Sisko would have killed Tuvix but I also do not think Janeway would have dirty bombed that colony.

Ma'am, you're in thigh high boots paired with either a minidress or a tunic with hot pants.... either the Romulans let everyone wear minidresses (hell yeah if true) or 60s gender binary conformity strikes again

Because if anyone should be wearing that uniform, it is Captain James CAKE Kirk

They're literally just baiting me specifically at this point. From the novel 'First Virtue'

[union-hivemind]

OK so something I find really silly is people think that hiveminds would be evil cos we think about them as being more like a society than a person

Like I see myself as one person in many bodies...but usually hiveminds are presented like something that has no identity and is just conformity. Whereas I see myself (and other hiveminds) as just one person like the rest of us just expressing themselves through many parts of themselves in different bodies

I also find it amusing the concept of this massive entity that's big and scary to people who don't know what it's like but really it's just your average person with interests and stuff and is really nice. Maybe they like tea you never know!

An extension to this is like

Spaceman: *visits hivemind* so you are a threat

Hivemind: what? No I like plants and books I just have many bodies!? Why would you assume that just cos I'm big I'm evil. What is wrong with you

Spaceman: but I saw some of your spaceships fighting!

Hivemind: haven't you ever had a fight with yourself over begonias!

i just had to take this ai personality test to submit a job application (to be a bartender).

[thegeminisage]

i have ALL DAY (until 5pm) to myself, with only minor household responsibilities to see to. delighted. i'm gonna think about star trek nonstop until then or until my dopamine receptors simply burn out of existence whichever comes first
