They are both Executive Producers. Make a move George (I always took that as a joke that GRRM could never finish his other series).

...the life of their second officers and Data quips "Fortunately, Starfleet has no such rules involving our second officers." Now you could argue that the statement can be a general statement, but it's heavily implied that the Joke data is making is that he's grateful they don't have that rule.

Star Trek has never done that though. Star Trek is not the Godfather, it is not Shakespeare, hell it isn't even always as progressive as MASH or Night Court. It has always done the update thing, from TMP, to TNG, to DS9 to First Contact, and onwards. It isn't a period piece but a speculative...

anyhow, aside from the obesity joke, I'll be honest, I don't feel optimistic about this show. I think that the concept of "updated for modern audiences" is a fallacy that is used for too often.... one of the things that makes good content is that it appeals to multiple demographics, multiple...

no they don't, the 'explanation' was not the joke per se, it was for the gasping and pearl clutching that followed... :-)

"A joke is a story with a humorous climax."

Well, that‘s why I was telling you, because I knew you weren‘t aware of it. It‘s less of a “hypersensitivity” and more common decency. “Let‘s not judge someone negatively because of their body” is not some super woke or out there concept, I should think. I trust you‘ll manage. I‘m not sure what...

Bold move, saying "it's a joke" after the backlash. Jokes usually don't need that much explaining.

...show produced as entertainment for a 20th century audience and not a real attempt to completely depict actual day to day life in a time 350 years in the future. (And jokes should contain actual humor to be considered actual jokes. It's not "Hypersensitivity' to call out blatantly rude comments.)

Ok, well then, I was unaware of the hypersensitivity, but I'll stand by my joke, that's what it was a joke, from a place of experience and knowledge. One would think that those conditions I mentioned would have been solved by the 32nd century, but apparently not, Suffice to say, do not expect...

Glass house and stones too.

We get it. Some Trek actors aren't athletic or thin. Enough with the fat jokes. Down that road lay trouble.

Fat jokes don't fly here. Might wanna check out a few Mod comments.

That's OK. I didn't care for Those Old Scientists. And I usually love the SNW comedic episodes. In the entire run of SNW to date, the only SNW comedy episode I dislike more is S3's A Space Adventure Hour. I loved SNW S2 Subspace Rhapsody and I'm normally not a fan when a non music series does...

IDIC: not just for merchandising medallions anymore.

...its third season. Season 1 features great standalone stories, solid overarching subplots, and one of my favourite Trek stories in the excellently sad "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach". *No joke, I watched "Subspace Rhapsody" twice and I was baffled as to why it has a devoted fan following.

I'm 64, and I still use "groovy". These days, though, I tend to use "shiny" more.

...impact much. Programmable matter isn't really that much different from a replicator. Instantaneous transport by combadge is only used for jokes, and forgotten when inconvenient. Detached nacelles don't mean shit. The ship gets a refit mid Season 3, and never has an issue going toe-to-toe...

Little bit of a joke. But I do think,while not exactly subtle they did use fan service in a effective way. Except bringing back The Borg and how they used Moriarty. That would be example of bad fan service. Also the fan service has to be looked into the context that season was basically a...

That has to be a joke, Or at least, you posted it specifically because you knew it would generate this sort of reaction from someone.
