As I said in the similar VOY thread:
Like the punchline in the old joke about <POTUS of your choice> being asked the musical question, "Boxers or briefs?",
Depends.
Half the shit you're whining about is addressed in subsequent episodes of this season. You've gotten yourself all fired up over the biggest nothing burger ever. "It's not addressed right away and therefore it's been forgotten/ignored" is the basic gist of this post. Maybe take a breath and watch...
...The murder mystery style has been done to death in the Holodeck since TNG. The premise of the murder made no sense. It was full of constant in-jokes at the expense of a remotely good story. Plenty of viewers won't know the references to Lucille Ball or Issac Asimov so it's going to go over...
Another joke I'm imagining are 3 hyperactive kids, all of them wearing 3 different sizes of outfits the same as Dark Helmet's; small, bigger, biggest. They race up and down the corridors and Dark Helmet yells out, "Hey! Slow down, you could hurt yourselves!" They all race up to him and in turn...
...truth, not to be confused with facts, you will move some and not others. That has always been the case.
I think the key word is "move"....there is something of the old Native American joke about the teepee full of shit in that. ;)
I can say that, because I am 12.5% Native American. That's...
We already have an active joke thread, and people seem to have no problem posting dad jokes there, so I don’t see how we need a second thread for them. I’m going to merge this into the other one.
:rommie: Technically, that second one applies in any decade or century.
Ah, that's true.
Yeah, but wasn't the purpose of being there for a year to learn all that stuff?
Luckily there's another government agency that's six million dollars over budget.
It sounds like it was a good moment...
For context this is the definition for dad joke:

And with that here's my dad joke.
What do you call old corn?
Pop corn
..."Never trust anyone who's been born!"
If only you were more familiar with The Godfather, you could've sprinkled your post with quotes and in-jokes.
Heh.
They definitely live there, pretty sure that was established in the premiere; the Forbidden Planet shaft is their city...but arguably...
I think a proper crossover could have been a fitting end for the TOS crew if TUC hadn't been done or done so well. The problem is that Berman was never going to allow a script that gave both crews equal measure and respect. I've been doing some research recently and it turns out that Berman did...
...off from "The Inner Light"? And a confrontation that makes no sense, other than as a pedantic "light defeats darkness"?
This season of SNW was such an aggravating mess. Unfunny plots centered on one-joke premises and gimmicks that felt more akin to a sketch comedy show or a 1970's TV variety...
Kirk's one of the youngest if not the youngest captain in Starfleet. People in real life are joking about how he's always on Pike's Enterprise and honestly there's probably in-universe gossip about it as well. If I were Kirk the last thing I'd want to do is advertise and remind people (like...
DC Comics has canceled its Red Hood comic and pulled it from the shelves the day it launched (9/10) and fired its writer; after Gretchen-Felker Martin, a trans person, made jokes on social media about Charlie Kirk's death.
I liked the explanation from the My Brother's Keeper novel trilogy. Jim and Gary had a running joke about Kirk's middle name, but it always started with R. "Racquetball is my middle name", then later "Rhinoceros".
...I quoted from his mention of Spielberg in that intro:
“Spielberg and his clone-children […] filling every corner of the frame with little in-jokes and blatant references to the sci-fi crap that impressed them when they were ten years old, so distracting that you aren’t supposed to notice...
