Confession: Why I am now 7/R

[JirinPanthosa]

Riker likes submissive women.

Why not 7/T? Okay Tuvok is married, but Janeway's not a lesbian and everybody seems super into that idea.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Super into the idea of Janeway being a lesbian?

I'm kind of more into the Janeway as a lipstick lesbian deal.

 

[Guy Gardener]

There's no such thing as sexual orientation in the future because there is no bias.

No lesbians, no gays, no straights... Everyone is a human being equally because no one is taught that there is any where they shouldn't put their sex organs.

Although to use olden-day language, everyone is bisexual.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

You've just de-gayed everybody. No more born this way in the future?! Everyone born happy to do whatever with whomever? No specialization?

 

[Melakon]

In the future, just as today, those who cling to their traditions will be referred to as "old farts".

 

[Guy Gardener]

Rodenberry clearly said in the adaptation of the Motion Picture that everyone in the Federation is bisexual except Kirk.

When that book was first published in the 70s, the current theories, arguments and facts about homosexuality hadn't been born yet, so although progressive for the time, eat me.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I like this brave new future where everybody can eat you. Except Kirk.

 

[Guy Gardener]

BUT HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT I REALLY, REALLY WANT!

 

[Melakon]

All he's allowed to do is watch.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

"There are certain things men must do to remain men." Captain James T. Kirk

That's either a glass half full or a glass half empty depending on who is writing the story.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Typo?

"There are certain things men must do to Reman men."

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Why was that clone so swishy and posh anyway. After growing up with feral slave miners you would think he would be a little less couth.

 

[Melakon]

If you mean Picard's clone, why didn't he have a French accent?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

He should have looked like absolute crap, been damaged and hunched from crawling in mines and have terrible awful skin. Instead he looked like some lameass out of Twilight.

 

[Guy Gardener]

They spent years teaching him how to be Picard, or hard wired him how to be Picard into his dna before they junked the idea... Did they say how old he was when they threw him in with the Remans and considering the forced maturation involved in cloning how mature, physically, emotional andintellectually that made him?

You know what happened?

Picard kept turning own promotions.

Replacing a Captain is bullshit.

Replacing an Admiral is endgame.

Wait?

There was a flash back of Shinzon from when he seemed to be 12 or 13?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

He was a pre pubescent kid in the mines.

Shinzon:

"...the dilithium mines? Not that it mattered, as I was no longer part of their plans against the Federation. In those terrible depths lived only the damned. Together with the Reman slaves I was condemned to an existence of unceasing labour and starvation under the brutal heel of the Romulan guards. Only the very strongest had any hope of survival. I was only a child when they took me."

"Then I didn't see the sun or stars again for nearly ten years. The only thing the Romulan guards hated more than the Remans... "

So. Should have looked like crap.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Low standards for a Romulan, even a Romulan slave is probably more civilized than a dinner party for the High Council of the Klingon Empire.

He was a whiny bitch, so why not a lying whiny bitch?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

You mean he made it all up so his sob story was a winner?

 

[Guy Gardener]

"Oh, no! Two women love me. They're both gorgeous and
sexy. My wallet's too small for my fifties, and my diamond shoes are too tight!"

I think he could have been exaggerating.

The cultural bullshit would have been hard, but the actual mine itself?

Shinzon was describing a 19th century coal mine, not the apex of 24th Romulan science.

 

[Melakon]

Did Nemesis hamstring Tom Hardy's career? He was getting some notice early with Black Hawk Down a year before, but didn't score well again until Inception 8 years later.
