  yes, I agree that the “not serious” label is probably not that accurate, but they were written to have fun with the material, and I don’t agree that any of them had the cheese in the B-plot. They were adventures, most of them, but also with a silly aspect that sits at the core of Trek.

  I think you’re not remembering the amount of silliness on previous shows, let’s analyze TNG S2:

  Serious Episodes 59% (13 episodes)

  - “Where Silence Has Lease” - “Loud as a Whisper” - “The Schizoid Man” - “Unnatural Selection” - “A Matter of Honor” - “The Measure of a Man” - “Contagion” - “Time Squared” - “The Icarus Factor” - “Pen Pals” - “Q Who” - “The Emissary” - “Peak Performance”

  Not Serious Episodes: 41% (9 episodes)

  - “The Child” (Troi’s immaculate space-conception) - “Elementary, Dear Data” (“Holodeck gone wrong” story) - “The Outrageous Okona” (Data learns comedy) - “The Dauphin” (Shapeshifting monster princess) - “The Royale” (Another “holodeck gone wrong” story with no holodeck) - “Samaritan Snare” (We are smart) - “Up the Long Ladder” (Space irish) - “Manhunt” (Lwaxana Troi is on the hunt for a husband) - “Shades of Gray” (A clip show)

  I think it’s a good proportion of silly so far…

  Paul Wesley’s Shatner impression was so funny

  What do people actually do with these figurines?

  they go outside with them and ask random people on the street where are their nuclear wessels, of course.

  I believe this is confirmed as Waluigi’s cap has an upside down L in the front

  are you saying that is wrong to say “huwomankind”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Red Shirts #1 shows us the classic cannon fodder at times survives to be badass - Graphic Policy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting comic and definitely a fun read, although the first issue is pretty much all setup and a smidge of nu-trek (a lot of “I joined Starfleet for the adrenaline rush” kind of characters).

  the definitive red shirt story is not even Star Trek, it’s Red Shirts by John Scalzi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cold water was probably less refreshing for early humans due to most cold water likely only being available during colder weather.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  hot water is a relatively modern luxury. you probably have a living ancestor that remembers not growing up with easy, or any, access to hot water, just hurtfully cold, refreshing water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Bad Mother? In Defense of Star Trek's Lwaxana Troi⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Timicin episode (S04E22 “Half a life”) always makes me tear up at the end. The emotional struggle that Lwaxana had is heartbreaking, and speaks a lot about the role that we give our elders in our society. It’s something that we still struggle with more than 20 years later.

  I live in South America, it’s not, every groundskeeper in my medium-income condo neighborhood has one, and makes working from home really difficult, specially in the summer when you want to open a window

  correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s up to 1000 in Spanish, right? I’m wondering if I’m saying 9 right.

  I love the Cerritos being in this collection. If a nu-trek show needs all the appreciation of their audience is Lower Decks. I’ll never lose hope that there’s will be a comeback.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lower Decks Eulogizing⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was watching the finale with my partner. I started to tear up during the “science besties” speech. She asked me why, it’s just a cartoon! It broke my heart to know this was the last ride on the Cerritos for the foreseeable future. To be fair I had a similar emotional reaction when I saw the TNG finale and I’m having an smaller reaction while writing this.

  jeez I need to find therapist.

  the movie is just a long take of a young James T. Kirk driving a convertible while listening to the Beastie Boys. The movie ends as he drives it into a canyon.

  I’d probably watch it
