“Yeah, well I don’t need memes. I have a stupid, crappy but highly addictive VR game and then I get to fantasize about banging Ashley Judd.”
Wait, that’s not common?
No, in the 21st century, we also need memes. He’s a higher being who has evolved beyond them, so he can devote more time to masturbation.
The Traveling Wanker, they call him.
I can hear “sharp dressed man” by zz top playing over that one with Worf.
I’m in this meme and I don’t like it.
Jokes aside, that episode was fire AF.
A bit cringe psa-scene, not made better by the memification.
Anyways, I’m gonna shitpost it to every corner I visit just to feel something.
It was very progressive for the time. Merely suggesting drugs could make you feel good was absolutely taboo then. All teenagers knew they were being fed bullshit info about drugs. This sort of real talk about the allure of drugs and the consequences was the only sort of real talk many of us got at that crucial moment.
And god forbid you actually have a positive experience on a drug that cements certain crucial friendships that come back to sustain you years later. Mind blown!
Oh, I totally recognize that, and agree with what you said completely!
I def wouldn’t want to cut it out or anything, but I remember it (as in this whole bit from start to finish panel) a bit forced in, like a random non-credibly-spontaneous convo between the Tar princess and the shut-up-Weasley that they didn’t know where exactly to include in the episode.
Then again, I might not remember it that well, or maybe it’s bcs I never liked the kid (as a character, forced at times to be a comic relief figure).
Yeah if I remember the scene right then I share the sentiment. The message was good, the writing and execution of the scene itself though was a little weak. But that’s S1 TNG. It has its high moments and it’s low moments 😅
Yes, all Trek content actually - and I love having lots of content (series, seasons, movies, etc), much rather than a few good episodes. It’s just a better, vast universe (multiverse). And I’ll force my headcanon to compensate for the bits I don’t like (like plot holes … not that they are that glaring in your average Star Trek bit).
Honestly, I think part of it was that it was a scene by the 2 weakest actors in the show. The words didn’t help, sure, but nothing was delivered in a believable way either.
Hmm, that might also be true, yes - with extra demotivating effects of the hastily (or restricted) script/dialog they had to perform.
Between the overly classically thespianed captain (even in some unfitting situations), miss ‘I telepathically feel you are feeling the emotion you are so excessively showing’, and I’m-gonna-perch-my-number-one-leg-to-look-very-cool I might have not actually noticed that fact, rather accept it as a bit of a correction to balance the usual dialog over-acting with some under-acting.
(I didn’t blame the actors for nothing mentioned, always thought the showrunners wanted it exactly that way, like a style choice that they stuck with all the time)
It’s those roving meme-gangs that you’ve got to watch out for.
And that’s the trap
No Wesley, Astolfo is the trap. Astolfo will help shut you up 😏
