And by the end they all have severe trauma because war is Hell and makes you do terrible things.

Animorphs is better, there’s more of it, and the authors support trans kids.

You sound like a scientologist.

Trek writing has never been consistently good. Half of TOS is unwatchably bad. TNG sucks until Riker gets more hair. DS9 sucks until Sisko gets less hair. Voyager’s all over the place (even though it’s my favorite). Enterprise is mostly bad. Only the even numbered TOS movies are good. Only the first two TNG movies are good.

I say this with a genuine love of Star Trek, but the quality of the writing has varied greatly over each individual series.

I totally agree. My only real issue with NuTrek is that it doesn’t look crappy enough. The old shows were low budget and you could tell. It was part of their charm.

Nah, it’s just your typical conservative with zero media literacy not understanding Star Trek and thinking no one else does either.

So what would help?

Yes, that is the point I was making.

This article is reductive to the point of uselessness. By this logic, burning human bodies for steam power would count as solar because we are all star dust.

If that’s a chai latte you’ve hit the nail on my head

Don’t you think all of that is arbitrary? Why are tattoos more masculine “unless you pick feminine designs”? Where does the judgement of feminine/ not feminine come from in the first place?

It’s Tendi!

Liberals.

I think they’re trying to smear Pedro. They refer to his tweet as an attack and bring up his trans sister twice, implying that he only cares because his family is affected. The language they use to talk about JKR is, by contrast, much more sympathetic.

This is exactly the reference I was making

It’s great if you can handle its pea-ness.

Life is like a bowl of gagh; best to take a bite while it’s still wriggling.

Only if the big sword was hurled by a watery tart

We don’t know what’s in lembas bread

Whatever you call it, don’t let Janeway near it.

(Just kidding, Tuvix deserved what it got)
