snrk Hey, me too! gigglesnickers
Though, I've only missed... Uhhhh... Okay I've only seen TNG, Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise. And Online. And a season of Discovery. ... Which I kinda regret.

Alright! Watch this starting from 44 seconds in. Watch for like 10-15 seconds and then try to explain what you think is going on.
@mosiacmango@lemm.ee has a point. It would be really interesting to see the reaction to this…

Holy shit this is a Kbin glitch? I 100% believed the author of the article was just a huge nerd who had found a way to relate Clarence Thomas to Lutan. It... it seemed reasonable somehow...

It's an image caching bug with kbin. Seems he posted his link the same time they posted that article and kbin decided to use that as the wapo thumbnail. Sometimes it's naked ladies, but this time it was directly traceable.

Yep, I get the same glitch. I'd thought maybe each of us got our own special jank but nope, we all share the same janks 😅

Having never watched star trek:
Jokey answer: recess but they have access to deadly weaponry and only the strongest will make it to maths class.
Serious answer: I presume this is some kind of proof-by-combat scenario? A local culture demands the protagonists fight one of their own in some cactus-pugilism jungle-gym arena in order to prove their worth, and only then will they grant them whatever boon they asked of these people?

Pretty close! as I recall it’s some honor based thing? the story isn’t… very good. iirc the main king guy wanted to bone the star trek lady that’s fighting in that clip, which upset his favorite wife, so the wife challenged the star trek lady to combat to the death. Why said combat takes place in a jungle gym is anyones guess.

I’ve seen that episode, but it’s been decades so I still don’t know what’s going on.

Oh, leave it like that - fond memories. Don’t rewatch.

Looks like a mom trying to chase their kid around the house to beat them

Ok I followed your instructions to a T. It looks to be like a combination of Ru Paul’s Drag Race (and I mean this in the best way possible) and a professional game of parkour chase tag.
Was I close? I’d love to know what’s actually happening!

The episode is an absolute disaster. Widely regarded to be one of the worst, if not the worst, episodes of any Trek show. Super racist trash heap. Was like… The fourth episode of TNG. The cast have asked it to be removed from streaming and syndication

Cheers dude, thanks for explaining it to me. This community is honestly so kind.

Underground cactus tag arena. The gamblers are watching in excitement.

Interpretive pole dancing to the death? Now I’m starting to see the appeal of Star Trek
