And thank you for the lore!

I swear I learn more about LOTR from comment sections under memes than anywhere else.

SNES - I love 16bit pixel art.

What a great episode though. I just finished a rewatch of TOS a few weeks ago, and I love it so much.

Almost 60 years worth at this point. Hope you enjoy the journey!

Omg, thanks! I noticed that it had hit a million recently, and I was thinking about writing up a post to commemorate it and maybe share some thoughts about my experience posting like a madman on the fediverse for 6-7 months so far. If I do, it’ll probably be on the c/fediverse community, unless anyone can think of a more fitting one.

I’m also surprised it’s still visible! My instance upgraded to 0.19 recently, which supposedly takes away the upvote count from your profile view. I was secretly hoping to make it to one million before the upgrade happened… Lol

(Edit: also glad to hear you got into TNG!)

I remember reading that what we’re seeing lately is a sort of mad dash to churn out as much media as they can before the IP becomes public domain.

I can assure you the title is tongue-in-cheek for humor. You’re reading way too much into it.

Well I know who’s next in line for a little chat.

Ooh, I’ll check this in a little bit this morning!

Thanks for the ping! This could be interesting…

There’s a 3-dot options button next to “quote” that has “Text Faces”.

Oh my god, I’d never tried tapping this button before.

Now THAT also sounds like early internet too…

I’m going to say yes. Every teenager is an alien.

Lol, you mean you didn’t like them singing Row Row Row Your Boat around the campfire? Or Uhura’s sexy fan dance? How about Scotty running into a crossbeam like he’s in the Three Stooges?

It seems like such a creative way to do social commentary. We get to see our present failings in aliens, and then contrast it with how the crew (future humanity) carries themselves. Sometimes it’s very clunky and heavy handed (like that TOS episode with the half-white/half-black aliens), but it’s still good. My favorites are every time Picard monologues about their values to an alien race in TNG.

Even if you already share the values, it’s fascinating to hear them laid out so clearly.
