    Spoilers The Well grade and discussion thread

    ...recently. But that’s a very traditional way to experience Who. We didn’t have catchup in my day, whippersnapper. XD I’m just maintaining the purity of the Who watching experience. (And I always make an effort not to make judgement as though claiming to have seen something I haven’t. The two...

    ...Not only was the "acting" terrible (and I don't even know how that's possible in Myers' case), but the whole idea of some kind of Canadian "purity" test is really a turn off, especially after reading about what happened to the MacDonald sisters. Not to mention that Carney's not exactly in a...

    ^It could be a purity thing, where the Empire considers humans that weren’t born on Earth/within the Empire to be as lowly as any extraterrestrial species.

    The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not for the Lamb’s Cry Line-by-Line

    L'RELL: T'Kuvma saw something in you. A purity of devotion. I do not want the mantle of leadership. Standing behind you I am free to move, able to be your enforcer, defender, campaigner.

    Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

    ...Well you know there's been about a dozen of those in Star Trek canon. If they made them a new creation that explored the ideas of cultural purity pushed by a demagogue, how that filters down into discrimination and radicalizes a population, and the Federation having to deal with a threat...

    The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not for the Lamb’s Cry Line-by-Line

    L'RELL: What good is purity if it only leads to death? My father was T'Kuvma's blood kin, but my mother was House Mokai, the watcher clan, the deceivers, the weavers of lies. When I was a child, she gave me a bat'leth and told me to cleave my own heart. To choose one House over the other...

    Why the hate for Alex Kurtzman?

    Hm, actually there is nothing wrong with keeping some of the ideas and elements. The whole "The XO is the actual star of the show" is definitely something, that I'd put in the "Win"-Coloumn. Okay, that show us, what you would've liked to see, and yes, the idea of progressing is quite...

    Why the hate for Alex Kurtzman?

    ...the idea of a culture that gets lured in by a zealot preaching "Make the Empire Great Again." The destructiveness of the concept of cultural purity, both on the grand and personal scales, and how that filters down into the way Voq is treated because he's an albino. On the other side, staying...

    Why is toxic fandom destroying everything?

    ...characters like Walter and Gus, etc). Now, the worst of online toxic fandom will have the support of the MAGA dominated state. I'm now glad I've buying NuTrek shows on bluray (I'm getting irrationally fearful they'll destroy entertainment as part of a mad media censorship purity spiral).

    ...Klath’s voice boomed out from behind the scientist. “The, um, duridium sheets back there. They’re an especially premium grade. High purity. I needed the best possible sheeting to construct the extra space, because I need to keep the storage for the chroniton particles as unreactive as...

    What is your personal head canon?

    Well, to be fair, the Eugenics Wars and WWIII were established to be the same thing on the TOS episode "Space Seed." It was TNG that made them into two separate events. SNW just folded them back together into a larger conflict, and added the Second American Civil War into the mix. This is a...

    What is your personal head canon?

    ...than a headcanon... I've always been fascinated by the idea of Colonel Green. He's an "Eco-Terrorist", who is also concerned with genetic purity and wants to eliminate those exposed to radiation. He seems to be a major player not only in WW3 but also the aftermath of it all. He also seems...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    This, along with the way they look, really makes me think it would have been better if they'd eventually been revealed to be the Hur'q.

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    ...society, who arguably becomes radicalized against his own interests is an interesting character for a story that touches on identity, cultural purity, and coexistence. The problem was always that none of what they wanted to do with that really fit the history of the Klingons that we knew...

    Spoilers Dot and Bubble grade and discussion thread

    I hear your point that the Doctor is an alien... I think my point was more that it may be a less familiar experience for him to be on the receiving end of bigotry rather than witnessing it being weilded against someone else, so compared with his reaction to the treatment of Billie, he may be at...
