I guess the Netflix MSTK was an atari situation : just rehypothecate an old brand we happen to own. I’m not sure exactly what happened there but the result is I rarely see praise for it.

That being said, I really liked it. Barbershop quartet in season 2 is a particularly great highpoint of the series.

Unpopular opinion: Maybe the narrative metaphor of the space station is the dash od salt that enhances the flavor of the voiceovers and that’s why I didn’t get into rifftrax 🤷‍♀️

Look how they massacred my boy Londo.

First real character I remember in sci-fi. He’s a highfalutin blowhard from a noble house, who’s fucking broke and has to lose two of his wives.

Then he picks the one that treats him the worst because she lies the least.

Then he goes on to sell his soul to make his planet great again which of course if goes all monkey paw on him.

The dude is a walking pile of contradictions. There’s nobody like him in star trek sadly.

Option 2 was known even at the time and appears as a joke in the dilbert cartoon.

This is a clip of dilbert waking to a 7-of-9 alarm clock which proceeds to roast him.

Sorry not sorry 🖖

Perhaps you’re right, Captain. Perhaps I’m insensitive to the bond between you and your subservient quadruped.

I love it when Phlox tells Archer how it is.

Wow Really? I enjoy Phillip Glass but I had no idea. What can I search for to learn more? “14.4baud phillip glass” is giving me nothing 😔

Misogynistic post-apocalyptic Holden Caulfield

Lol that’s a new one for me. It’s funny because it’s true 🤣

I haven’t read any of the long sun books but I feel like I understand that feeling. Fwiw, I first finished all 4 books and was only satisfied with the end of book 3. Thankfully there’s so much meat between those endings that it kept me going.

That disappointment is what made me realize that I must have missed some important details and start an immediate reread.

Once I started over on the first book it was amazing to realize how the clues are just everywhere. I’m reading the exact same words, but this time they’re hitting way harder.

Sage advice. In the meeting I will assume positive intent, like he’s protecting me from mummy’s curse.

Ya I will figure it out, it’s just another clown lording over an imaginary fief.

Can’t wait for code review lol.

I love seeing Picards priorities on full display.

Picard walking Beverly to beam down to her lover:

You go girl!

Picard receiving Beverly’s resignation:

Umm nobody leaves me. Data, find me everything you can on Ronin.

For Archer I can also imagine:

Rod Stewart’s “Faith of the Heart”

Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping”

Katy Perry’s “Roar”

For Janeway the only song that comes to mind is Rage’s “Killing in the Name of” because fuck you she won’t do what you tell her.

My brutal but fair take:

I feel the bigwigs for Star Trek would sacrifice us all, in a heartbeat, for their own Grogu to get the kiddos buying merch.

I want to believe in the age of enshittificiation that The Martian Chronicles will take on a new life.

It’s so bleak how it ends with highways and diners everywhere.

I hope this isn’t a spoiler, but this about sums it up for me:

Buckle up for S3! You are about to witness ENT come into its own and it’s glorious.

This is the real year of hell and they don’t pull any punches.

I think I want to rewatch 3x15 Harbinger again.
