it's easy to be a saint in paradise

usually i am the biggest fan of when shows put their protagonists in period costume, but voyager is funny for me in that i hate it every time they put janeway in those stupid dresses. a woman like janeway has to be wearing masculine clothing no matter the era. it just doesn't match her face when her hair is in ringlets or her bearing when she's running around dragging a massive skirt. all i'm gonna say is thank you forever killing game for the iconic white tux and black turtleneck outfits

i truly believe in order to make peak star trek again you simply have to get a cast of actors who have only done theatre and nothing else. you can have one token TV Guy if you wish. but so help me god i need those aliens doing shakespeare up there

oh he's your 'right hand man'? for what, jerking you off?

tng often points out the similarities between Worf and data and I feel like it's a shame that the fandom doesn't really pay attention bc if you look at the way Worf approaches a lot of the problems he faces it is with an initial confusion about what is expected of him and why and how he is supposed to act that directly parallels data, only when data gets it wrong it's often adorable, mildly offputting at worst, whereas when Worf gets it wrong it tends to be offensive and alienating and he often doubles down on the wrong response out of fear of admitting to failure. which of course makes me obsessed with him but understandably makes people read him as a surface level arsehole who's just like that bc he sucks

It’s about the need to be great. It’s about knowing you never will be. It’s about hating your father and wanting to impress him even if it kills you. It’s about how all life is connected and the line between living and dying is a matter of opinion. It’s about teamwork and toxic individualism and betrayal. But most of all, it’s about regrets and pepperoni pizza

I want to believe that knowing about baseball in that day and age is like getting into historical recreation for us. “Oh that sounds like weaving on a weighted loom” “You know about weighted looms?” “Oh that sounded like minuet dancing?” “Oh you know about dancing minuets?”

Lol this made me laugh so much. I want it on repeat this Christmas.

It isn’t a proper holiday season until you hear this.

pfff I guess it’s time for another rewatch.

Here's your periodic reminder that the reason Kirk (tos-flavor) got a commendation for his solution to the Kobayashi Maru is because his "cheating" was his answer. Kirk's answer to the question of, "What do you do in a no-win scenario?" is "I break the rules until it isn't a no-win scenario. I don't give up on my crew, and I do whatever I can to save as many lives as possible."

And here's your periodic reminder—or first-time FYI, depending—that according to certain apocrypha, Nog similarly "beat" the Kobayashi Maru by relentlessly demanding to barter with the enemy until the simulation crashed. Like a true Ferengi, his answer to "What would you do in a no-win scenario?" is "Renegotiate the terms of the scenario. Rule of Acquisition #98: Everyone has their price."
