We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem, - Gabe Newell

Prince HumPicardinck : Surrender.

Westley : You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.

I met a traveller from an antique epoch,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of fossilized bone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered skull lies, whose frown,
And cracked jaw, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its evolution well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The claw that mocked them, and the tooth that fed;
And on the footprint, these ideas appear:
My name is Tyrannosaurus, King of Dinosaurs;
Look on my skeleton, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

As always, this is just cover to force people to quit and not give severance. It’s a layoff without having to call it a layoff.

I work with people now who were born in the 21st century. I guess I’m old now too :(

LowerDecks is meant to be a comedy instead of serious SiFi. However, given the way it’s written, it’s a total love letter to the spirit/ideals of what Trek is. It’s written from the perspective of younger officers, who are not in charge, but are trying to grow into the people/ideals who are portrayed in TOS/TNG. It’s silly, and the art style is a bit goofy, but somehow it works really really well.

For me, seeing TOS/TNG/DS9 in full first feels important, as you need to understand the universe. LowerDecks will pick up threads from all over, kind of as inside jokes, and teases a bit, but all in loving fun to that universe.

If Worf can wear his Klingon Sash, you can wear a Hat or Robe I think.

My thought exactly. There’s no way TOS movies were being made in the 90s. That just feels wrong.

Some kids want tea parties, some kids want tense diplomatic dinners. To each their own!

That is unbelievably beautiful! I’m sitting in my chair crying now, thank you very much.

Oh yeah, that could be a fascinating series (maybe even limited series)

We need some Trek offshoot shows that are not about following Star Fleet.
