I don't give Giant Freaking Robot the time of day.

Star Trek’s Best Director Just Explained The Stupidest Thing About Starfleet Academy

Starfleet Academy has proven especially frustrating for older Star Trek fans because it is a decidedly mixed bag. At times, … Continue reading "Star Trek’s Best Director Just Explained The Stupidest Thing About Starfleet Academy"

Whoever wrote this ‘I don’t think it’s funny so it should get canceled’ whine apparently has not figured out how to Google ‘is there a fish that vomits glitter?’ And learn about the cardinal fish. A real thing that exists.

 

[tenmei]

Good job we don't have any fish vomitting glitter then.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Oh. The glitter thing.

Yeah, that's kind of silly. Leave it to GFR to turn it into rage bait for clicks.

 

[cooleddie74]

Giant Freakin Robot is pretty useless for being an enormous artificial construct that, well, freaks.

Yikes, that's actually pretty scathing for Frakes.

Oh hey, they confirmed the black market was the Volume too.

Well, GFR is a clickbait site, and anything they say should be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[The Wormhole]

All Frakes said was the glitter vomit "seems absurd." I didn't get the impression he meant that as a negative, just that it's unusual, which it kind of is, but so what?

 

[Detached Nacelle]

If gfr put out an "article" that claimed rain was wet, I would still have to go outside to verify.

 

[Firebird]

Using GFR as your proof to complain about any aspect of the current Star Trek series is pretty bargain basement and only serves to undermine your argument.

 

[Agony_Boothb]

The whole Glitter vomit thing was Tawny Newsome's idea because she has an aversion seeing people vomiting on television. I really appreciate this because even thinking about someone vomiting make me gag. I'm happy to head canon it as some type of silicate that the khionian digestive system produces.

Been a thing since TOS.

Apollo's hand has entered the chat.

Someone remind me to use "Apollo's Hand" as my Halloween name.

But where does the glitter come from? Do these aliens eat glitter for some reason?

Enzymes

I read this in Cosmo Kramer's voice.

 

[Farscape One]

Glitter barf is just plain stupid. I could have maybe let it slide in the first appearance due to it possibly being a perception thing we're seeing from Sam's eyes.

But seeing glitter barf in the shuttle made it an actual thing. Which I just find stupid and absurd.

Aliens gonna alien.

Orion women secrete pheromones that make everyone around them - even from other species - super horny. Trek aliens do weird things.

I hear these aliens barf glitter because it's a side effect of eating muppets. We now know why muppets no longer exist in the Trek universe past the SNW days.
