Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x14 - "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2"

i can live with historical records how grand nagus rom brought it all down (takes not more than 5 minutes screen time)

 

I swear, if they ever did a Cardassian redesign, I'd riot. I'd just take my collection of Burnham/Tilly shipping fan fics, and treat them as my own personal canon instead.

Wait, I think I just realized how everybody felt about the Klingons when DSC premiered.

 

Klingon humor.

 

Ah yes, the episode that just...nope, *never* watching that one again.

Dear god no?

Go on....

 

why? didn't you just redesign your looks as well?

 

Yeah but I still need a little more cash and a doctors...oh you meant my avatar *laughs nervously* okay...

 

I can't imagine Ferengis on Discovery... it would be like children in the Vatican... Ok, wrong example...

 

Is the Space Pope Gorn?

 

How do you call a Gorn entertainer?

A lounge lizard...

 

We're finally arriving at the important questions here

Anybody remember when Garibaldi in Babylon 5 casually referred to the Pope as "she"? (and, as Crusade confirmed, her name is Bernadette II).

 

Why not, the Romulan Wars novels had the new Dalai Lama be a 14 year old American valley girl who chewed bubblegum all the time.

 

In all history, there was one female pope, but she tricked her way there.

 

Okay, what's with all the Gorn references I'm seeing on the board of late?

 

they have a special chair to make sure that doesn't happen again

 

Warm weather tends to bring out reptiles.

 

maybe they've taken over in the 32nd century

 

Maybe it's because Discovery has Gorn Orff into the future.

 

That most likely was just a legend. It never actually happened.

 

I remember reading it somewhere that modern historians usually claim it was made up to smear the Catholic Church, either by Lutherans (which is made unlikely by it apparently being a medieval legend) or the Patriarch at Constantinople (who most likely had a reason to claim the Pope in Rome was illegitimate).

Still, I can't help but chuckle every time I think of that scene in The Borgias when the Cardinals are examining that chair, waiting for Jeremy Irons to finally make up his mind and sit down, and one of them casually mentions that with all the children they've fathered through their years in the Vatican it should be obvious what their sex is.

I have a distinct feeling we're veering off topic, though

 

According to McCoy the Gorn give birth like mammals... which is odd.
