I knew of the story, I'm shocked to learn (or more likely, be reminded) this was a republican. How the fuck did a republican ever get elected in Illinois? Even Lincoln couldn't get elected there (as a republican).

The same senator seat had multiple incidents in the last 30 years. Most recent flip was the governor Blagojevich incident trying to sell the seat when Obama vacated, then the time before that was a literal Nigerian scandal with secret visits to their dictator and their fiance being a foreign agent that later fled the US.

A partner-sharing bondage sex club scandal wasn't the usual Chicago corruption but Jeri's husband swore there was nothing damning in the divorce in order to get his candicacy. So when the custody records came out everyone was pissed at him and there wasn't any chance to swap to a backup.

Well when the entire state is a giant ocean of red being politically controlled by tiny blue islands, weird things can happen. Our governor before Pritzker was a Republican and before Blagojevich we had over 20 years of Republican governors. The long reign of senators tends to warp things, one of our senators has been Democrat for over 40 years but that's only two people. The other senate seat has had a lot less stability and has recently been held by a Republican but considering the current trend towards hyper-partisanship and the fact that this retarded state not only elected but RE-elected Tammy Duckworth, I wouldn't expect to see a Republican governor or senator any time soon.

The klingon episode was the first one that felt like a real star trek episode. Even if the answer was blindingly obvious from the first act. But I have a question. Is that the first white guy to ever play a klingon?

Wait let me guess, he's going to be the bad/treacherous Klingon, right?

I don't want to spoil it for you, but he's a klingon who doesn't chimp out.

I don't remember that guy at all. I probably wouldn't remember this one but when he first appeared I thought he was John Larroquette.

You know, I forgot about kirk era klingons. Pretty sure those were all white guys with fu man chu mustaches and just a touch of black face.

Back when we were a real country and could say "What if the main villain is a cross between a darkie and a chinaman? No, it's OK, we have real darkies and chinamen on the bridge as good guys already."

bro TNG had this gay shit in the pilot

pois1zt50dlc1.jpeg


its apparently called a Skant and is canon

I could watch Starfleet Academy but i think i'll stick with my TNG rewatch and TOS first time watch, so many episodes and so little time

ratings for this pile of garbage seem pretty bad too, hasn't cracked nielsen top 10 yet. out of curiosity i checked on BTN and episode 1 has 300 total downloads, on a site where Dunk n Egg is sitting at 3000 and Pluribus is sitting at almost 4000. The site tends to lean sci fi so even pirates who can get it for free are passing.

Yeah, ratings started out in the toilet and didn't get better.

Top kek is it will be coming back for a second season "Because the Other Star Treks Took a While to Mature."

Idiots.

TNG is okay for the "good" episodes but there are some absolute stinkers in there too.

TOS might be too cheesy to watch anymore. I remember trying to watch a bit of it like 10-12 years ago and noped out after about 10 minutes.

Careful, we all know what happened the last time someone tried to get the goods on Kira

DS9 at least had the honesty to admit that most people like the programs that involve fighting or fucking (or in the case of Worf and Dax, both)

Pluto is the bonus here. They have channels for all of the old star trek series running 24x7 so you can check in and see what episode is on TOS and burn an hour or two when you want to veg at night.

No new garbage needed.
