Lucky for me, I upgraded both my desktop and laptop to 2TB SSDs before they decreed that the peasants can’t have SSDs or RAM anymore.

I get the complaints of lackluster writing in SNW S3, but also, you haven’t seen truly bad media until you’ve watched either Twisters or Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, which makes Discovery season 2 seem downright straightforward and well-written by comparison.

It’s not the best consolation, but it could go much worse. Also, I feel like if I had a choice, I’d take being strapped to a chair and forced to watch SNW season 3 looped 2.5 times over the same for TNG season 1.

Unless it does something egregious, I’ll probably push myself through it no matter what for the sake of completionism.

Speaking of which, I need to do that for Disco’s last couple seasons before I start the show.

I read it through my library, which keeps a good stock of Trek comic volumes. I think I now also have a PDF of it from a Humble Bundle.

You forgot somebody, and he’s very mad:

My biggest worry is what they do with the Klingons in the 31st century; they’re probably going to talk about how war-torn and poor Qo’Nos is or have the planet have gotten blow up or something dumb like that.

I’d love to have it so that either Qo’Nos surprisingly has had its crap together and managed to avoid brutal civil wars post-burn, with the result being in defiance of all expectations, it was one of the better planets to get stuck on after the Burn.

This guy is low-key the Gowron of the Orions. I kind of hope he shows up again in one of the two later seasons.

Honorary mention: IDW Picard’s Academy was a fun enough read.

To be fair, I think there are more reasons to pay for Netflix than there are reasons to pay for Paramount+ that don’t rhyme with “Schmar Schmeck”.

And honestly, I’m looking to just switch to a Blu Ray/DVD collection; with Lower Decks and Prodigy over, I might as well just have their series BluRays. Maybe I’ll come back for SNW seasons (and maybe SFA if worth it) so the show can get some ratings or whatever.

As to avoid giving Paramount geezers cash, I’ll probably try to buy used from local businesses.

For DS9 and VOY, though, I’ll probably just buy DVDs for plausible deniability and then torrent one of the many upscales. There’s supposedly a nifty project where someone’s using a Domesday duplicator to rip DS9 and VOY seasons’ laser discs with Domesday duplicator because the DVD transfers of those seasons are so horrible.

I’d love to see those on him in one of the scenes in Star Trek: Klingon where he angrily shakes you…

Not to be confused with that coward, the anti-quark:

The Q have a comparatively nice one stop by comparison:

Ransom may be too dumb to understand it, but he is principled enough to accept and support it.

When all else fails:

s/tf/e/

“Oh, we don’t do it for the numbers. We do it to quiet the voices in our heads.”

I love Lower Decks as a while, but I think this is the single best-written line in the entire show.

No! Needole is already bad enough!

They Might Be Giants collaborated with them and released a new t-shirt in 2025, I think to commemorate the anniversary of their initial collaboration back in the mid 2000s.

Either that, or OP amalgamated several occurrences in TNG…

?

10 minutes of Memory Alpha searching yields no results. I’m truly stumped.

EDIT: I see mentions of Beverly Crusher getting turned into a dog by Q, but nothing similar for Riker.
