How producers figured out Vic Fontaine would work in Star Trek, and in the middle of the Dominion War, no less, was a minor miracle.

James Darren is still around and still going to conferences last I heard. Had a few scares in recent years, like when he caught covid at the height of the pandemic.

"His Way" could have just as easily been titled, "His Hands." I wonder whose idea it was to have Odo keep staring at his hands like he just realized he had them. I am pretty sure a changeling knows what hands are for.

Is pronounces “either” like an aristocrat. If that the universal translator?

This episode is another good example of why Paris should be restricted to quarters when not on duty.

Just like "the void" this is the one of two episodes where they use the term "planet hell."

Now, after all that seriousness we get to see Neelix and Paris get a little baby time in.

Buy My Book

https://www.anticapitalism.blog/buy-my-book/

Hello, I have a PhD from Very Good University, Inc. I studied society and culture. Please buy my book on anti-capitalist ethics. Only $29.95. Act now. Look, I don’t know if this will go into a second printing so I really, really need you to buy it now. I need a new car to contribute my part to ecological collapse.

How is Kirk giving a log about feeling helpless in the middle being helpless?

It's been a long time since I have seen this, and there may be other episodes, but this TOS ep seems like a pretty good early model for the Department of Temporal Investigations.

I priced out a new sectional for my living room and holy shit the price of new furniture has gone up.

richard,
@richard@disabled.social avatar

@evacide I was just noticing that everything has gone up. Of course, groceries have been too much for some time now, but even HiRes digital albums on #Qobuz have been more expensive, and I am supposed be getting a discount with my Sublime membership. Books haven't gone up too much, at least not in the last few years.

@elizabethtasker Are you allowed to ask them questions? Like if they go good on a hamburger?

@stefan I know I'm biased, but I was surprised to see you never included @nocontexttrek in your hall of fame. Historically, there have been some brilliant ones. https://alttexthalloffame.org/en/

Dunno which Churchill he's talking about. How is this guy still considered a historian??

David Starkey: "When human rights were invented by Churchill, they were intended to protect the individual against the state. The left has redesigned them to protect minorities against the majority."

@fkamiah17 Um, the rights of the minority should be part of the state? Did I get #history wrong?

The more I see Lisa Kaltenegger in the media the more I get the feeling she is going to end up with egg on her face.

And I am confused, some outlets are saying she works with @setiinstitute, but other media outlets don't mention it at all.

Regardless, she is jinxing it for the rest of us.

@stfn It should be obvious. Unless you are a Republican, a capitalist, or both.
