JUST GONNA PRETEND ISRAEL ISN'T A COUNTRY HUH unrelated

In today's terms if there was a news article about William Shatner's scene with Michelle Nichols where he literally kissed her over and over and over again until the film ran out to get it in the show Jezebel would write articles about him sexually assaulting her, whether or not she consented to...

Can't waste an opportunity to call everyone racist. Me from earlier in this thread - So yeah, we talked about that already and more.

We already had this conversation. Progressiveness and SJW are not the same thing, Star Trek's themes run counter to intersectionality and victim culture, the future is post-racial, etc etc etc.

Guinen was the perfect wizened old owl archetype. On the opposite end of the spectrum Dax was originally pictured as being the mentor character of DS9 given her several lifetimes of experience and boy did that not go anywhere good.

But we saw polar bears existed so things are probably alright. Go polar bears!

If anyone hasn't seen Chaos on the Bridge https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2880448/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 It's a documentary about the transition to and creation of TNG and all the shit they went through in the early seasons staying on the air. It's even hosted by Shatner! I thought it was pretty good.

I followed her to Boston Public even but that show was absolutely not for me.

Tons of TOS fans hated TNG at the start. Letter writing campaigns of hatred and everything.

I've only seen reviews of episodes but why does Section 31 have their own black comm badges?

They've even got a song -

Fire is one of the primal forces of nature! You would be a fool to be without a way to call it forth.

The trailer is really fucking blunt with the THIS IS A PARABLE ABOUT CLASS CAN YOU TELL.

The comic is pretty good and so is the movie. I'm not sure why you would make another adaptation?

I didn't like it and it took me more than one sitting to finish it. It's got some good bits and some interesting visuals but the framework of the story is really basic. Interestingly enough until just now I never realized that The Curse was based on the same story. It says so right on the...

Yeah, we're not saying the same things. FNM is like twenty bucks for an evening of amusement and in that environment I've got zero problems with the pick 13 rare unplayables.

At a FNM I'd totally run that shit. Small stakes big hilarity if the gods of variance are on your side that evening.

No need to worry. In addition to not being able to spot them sociopaths are famously resistant to treatment as well and charismatic enough to get you to believe the opposite.

Desecrate will shit out corpses from the zone you are in plus any spectres you brought with you. If you lost one and you're still in the same area than Desecrate will give you those corpses as well but if you left than it won't. If you took off your gear that had the spectre gems (or they became...

TOS breaking in to popular culture (something DS9, Voyager and Enterprise all failed to accomplish) and spawning a series of successful movies was a real accomplishment.

Spending time the last couple of months farming so you can blow consumables on content you cleared in rags and haven't wiped to in forever to get ready to farm larger amounts of more varied consumables for content that is a day one night one clear encapsulates the experience well.

Any day when I can slip in a Bloom County strip it's a good day

The Charles Manson performance I found so interesting and charismatic that I'll probably pick up Manson's writings at some point. So good job there sorta I guess? "You look like a composite of what people told you that you should be" is a burn for the ages given who it was directed at.

We see Bajoran refugees a few times in TNG including their terror cells and the Cardassians trying to wipe them out. Picard replicates everyone at one camp a blanket. Maybe not the most impressive use of a Galaxy class starship's resources but blankets are damned useful. There's some actual...

You really believe those lying fucks? The Romulan "Empire" is like one planet and one moon worth of Not Vulcans.

7of9 spinoff when

https://variety.com/2020/tv/features/patrick-stewart-star-trek-picard-cbs-all-access-1203459573/ "Space Trump demonizes shifty, untrustworthy Romulan refugees in bid for power" is the vibe I'm getting from the promotional interviews but there's always the hope that Stewart's seeing more than...

He's COMMANDER Worf of House Martok and was assigned as diplomat to Kronos! The Troi/Worf pairing in later seasons would have gone fast and hard where Worf bangs her before the entire senior staff while everyone claps. I think Netflix did this already?

Star Trek's message is in direct opposition to modern identity politics.

Star Trek is about a future in which humanity has bested many of its great nemeses. It's optimistic. Star Trek was one of the few shows that Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr. allowed his kids to watch. We've got a Jap on the helm and a Ruskie in charge of the weapon's system post WW2 and with the Cold...

Reading the promotional material and checking out the interviews and coming to a conclusion about the themes and style of show isn't a snap judgement. The people inserting their political and social agenda in to all of the entertainment products being made are not the same as the people...

It's waaaaaaaaaaaay closer to what World War Z should have been.

"Is this card good with Polluted Delta" is a fine heuristic to employ when evaluating cards 'tis true.

How to best take advantage of one mana cantrips has been a design challenge going back all the way to Alexander the Great and the Knot of Gordium.

I can't wait for the Make the Federation Great Again space hats and space posters.

Going to be a few people getting some angry tweets sent their way over claims Mox Opal was the safest card in Modern because of its price tag.

I hadn't even watched the trailer until you said this and yeah, it looks way less interesting than I was expecting. The flashback action scenes have a very War of the Worldsy look to them and then it looks to transition in to something inspired by McCormac's The Road. I liked both the book and...

I don't know, I think the meta should change up quite a bit once Modern Horizons 2 comes out. Following in the footsteps of the original this new set will again expand upon older mechanics without the constraints that needing to exist in a Standard environment places on card design. This time...

If you believe things to be so dark wouldn't now be the time for a bright image of the future? Be that flicker of hope in a weary world. NAW
