Not just aliens. Alien, aliens.
While hardly a first for Star Trek, it’s always a treat when alien-looking, and alien-acting, aliens show up.
The season had a good pace, but in my heart, I wanted more. I really feel like it would have made a fun (if not nerdy) season if we had a few more episodes decoding mysteries and getting to know this new culture and species.
Do I still have a case?
We actually have a class action suit for that very thing. Let me DM you the details.
Transporter buffer imprisonment
This is a horrifying concept and you bet I would send a Klingon law team after someone for that.
Console explosion
Do they have experience/success with suing The Federation? I heard they recently added Borg parts to all their ships - seems reckless to me.
sent to Rura Penthe
I have good news and bad news for you.
The good news is: Since you now live at Rura Penthe, Gowron Law can represent you for your new Mesothelioma suit.
It’s basically that. These have a lot in common with pro-wrestling moves. They all carry some element of risk (like the drop kick), but the physicality isn’t impossible to achieve with some coaching.
The dog is the only one that can’t actually consent to space travel, and regardless, couldn’t possibly know the risks. It is innocent, and doesn’t deserve a violent fate.
Everyone else knows that they signed up to live in a metal box, with an artificial biosphere, which is all that separates them from the cold void of deep space. Also, said deep space is jam-packed full of things trying to actively break that metal box, if the crew doesn’t beat them to it first. And nobody knows that better than Seven.
At the very least, the headrests are wrong and the carpet is the wrong color*. Probably the latter.
(* maybe it looks “right” on those novelty VHS recordings you get at the end of the experience?)
“O’brien in Agony”

For a moment, I though this was a play on how holodecks work versus the current state of AI.
Then I realized what an utter nightmare it would be to build a full-blown VR environment using nothing but present-day stable diffusion prompts.
Holy shit. That is amazing.
Acid Jazz or Punk Jazz?
@Stamets, you’ll be missed.
I don’t know what condition c/Risa was in before you got here but you clearly helped build the phenomenon it is today. I know that, by your own admission, you’re (re)posting largely out of a hand-built database of old Trek memes, lovingly archived from elsewhere. But I wouldn’t think that a small task - it’s a lot more effort than any of us shitposters ever summoned for a few laughs. So, we’re all standing on your shoulders to an extent. And all of it has been the highlight of my post-Reddit online reading this year, so thanks for everything.
See you out in the Fediverse.
This video is a roller-coaster of emotion.

All Ferengi coms really should be an ad-encrusted nightmare: trailer before session, banners and popups during, ad breaks, and then a trailer at the end. Oh and a prompt, either manual or automated, to dismiss all ads for a subscription fee or an expensive one-time fee.
But with that recent paywall joke in LD, maybe that’s on the way?
Jellico: Hot damn, even their jokes are efficient. I like this crew.
Cheese flavor is the way to go here.
But given the color, I’m reminded of restaurant soda syrup bags. So is this one Dr. Pepper or Coke?
No matter when/how this show ends, it’ll be the same way, and it’ll be far too soon.
Also: is Pike aware that he’s functionally immortal until the clock runs out? There’s ample evidence that his future is unavoidable, so he’d have to come to this conclusion by now, right?
The quarterback, when he became toast.
I felt the same way, at first. Then I realized that we have other things in the Trek canon that asks as much suspension of disbelief:
Edit: my head-canon for the weirdness of Disco’s first season is that they really wanted it to be the start of a Kelvin-verse TV reboot, but were coy about it.
Edit 2: I forgot about the Kardashev Type 3 civilization of robots living just outside our galaxy, that will turn the Milky Way into a lifeless wasteland if anyone so much as prank calls them. But they made their digits really hard, but possible, to find.
