Spoilers The Bastardization of Star Trek

[Sketcher]

Anyone else like a Disorono and coke? Crazy that it'll taste like a cherry coke, but it's made with almonds.

I was thinking this exact song since scotch was mentioned in this thread!

So they just threw the words "quantum probability field" to get credability with the word quantum while pulling something so unbeleivably fake out of their ass.

SNW didn't invent that, IIRC it came from an episode of DS9.

SNW didn't invent that, IIRC it came from an episode of DS9. The one with the El-Aurian and the gambling device that could change someone's luck.

"RIVALS", season 2.

"Rivals." Martus Mazur, who was only the third El-Aurian to ever have a spoken name.

Maybe they haven't watched DS9 either.

At this point I'm doubting if they've even seen DS7.

Maybe they mistook it for Starbase 80

 

[cooleddie74]

Starbase 80?

DAYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!

Decided against Scotch and instead went with one of my favourite Bourbons.

If someone hasn’t seen TOS it’s hard to take the opinion that Trek has been bastardized. That was wacky as all get out. Trek is more science fantasy. It’s definitely not hard science fiction.

TOS veered from comedy one week ("I, Mudd") to a sober study of loneliness and the ethics of keeping another living being captive for their own selfish ends the next ("Metamorphosis") and did both with élan and skill.

No, Elaan is in "Elaan of Troyius.

Okay, get out. And take your worthless baubles with you.

Ended up with a virgin Pina colada while making s'mores at a camp fire tonight. Holiday tomorrow but while I picked up booze I've been having reflux issues so haven't been drinking any until I get it out of the way.

Although a Pina colada and s'mores probably aren't the best for reflux either.

Pretty much this.

"I'm a '90s kid! I grew up with TNG, DS9, and VOY!" Yeah, well, same here, and that's no excuse. Why? Because TOS Only Fans will say the same thing about '90s Trek that '90s Trek Fans will say about anything that's come out recently.

I picked a hell of a thread to read while trying to quit sniffing glue.

C’mon bro…what is this, amateur hour? S’mores and pina coladas….?!?

A newbie joining just to shit on new Star Trek?

Must be a day ending with 'ay'.

Yay.
