  • No worries.

    I do like both shows, but I also have this insidious headcannon that TNG is a federation holodrama produced as propaganda (exactly like Cops from the 90s)

  • In the pale moonlight is DS9, they needed the romulans to join against the dominion/cardassians so he did some unethical things that garak came up with to get them on side.

    Picard is a paragon of federation virtue, and he was never in a situation where all the options were just as bad. There always a clear way forward.

    (Though I do have to wonder what was said about data blasting the aqueduct.)

  • Regardless of blame or guilt or even justification… Picard was still the face- the only real face.

    Humans are messy. Sisko could intellectually recognize all this and still have that face bring up boatloads of trauma and grief.

    TNG that would have been a side comment from Troi and forgotten halfway through the episode.

  • And it wasn’t like with Picard where he made a decision and apparently felt good enough about that it was business as normal once made.

    Like In The Pale Moonlught when he brought the romulans into the fight.

    There were no good answers. No ethical ones. He’ll have to live with it, and he can.

  • Sisko was hands down, my favorite captain.

    His armor was a little dented, his ship a little care worn.

    But you know what? His world felt a little more realistic, his battles a little more hard fought and his weaknesses a little more understandable (and far less like the “weaknesses” you share at a job interview.)

    And that all came from Avery.

  • I, uh, enjoyed ds9 from the get go.

    So did my uncle. The only thing I really hated about it was that I had to chose between it and bab5.

  • Guess Dora decided to stop explora’ing.

  • It's like her friends joking about body count and your date tries to change the subject.

    Jump

  • "Thirty Seven." awkward pause, "Wait. which body count were we talking about? the sex one, or the literal one? Oh. uh. forget what i just said. I'm still a virgin."

  • Damn right he is

    Jump

  • You might not be able to hit a soldier, but you usually can hit an army.

    The flag just gives you something to focus on.

    It’s like the urinal cakes. Just being there draws fire, even if it’s a college bar and they mostly miss the urinal.

  • Damn right he is

    Jump

  • The thing is you didn’t really have to hit one person. They usually marched at the front of said armies.

  • Damn right he is

  • Same. But also I will celebrate his death and mourn his life.

  • Is he dead yet?

    Edit: i love how we're all on the same page here. may he die soon. and painfully.

  • Eh.

    This is how you know the universe wasn’t intelligently designed.

    No one would pass up the opportunity to make it 69 earths inside Uranus.

  • Was going to do maintenance on my car and she was begging to go outside, so I brought her with me

    Jump

  • She looks very concerned about your swearing. Is the maintenance going okay?

  • China to ban hidden car door handles made popular by Tesla in world first

    Jump

  • I don't have and don't ever care to have one, so I'm not sure on that

    Same, really. Even just getting in one is a bad idea.

    Jump

  • That’s not what is being banned- though the newer style could still be electric and problematic, the style they’re really going after seems motorized pop out handles that look like this:
