Spoilers Lower Decks General Discussion Thread

Yes, that is indeed Jack Quaid. That video probably means more to fans of The Boys, where Jack Quaid plays Hughie, and also, the blonde in that video is Erin Moriarty, who plays Starlight on The Boys.

What a kick! Very cool.

FYI we had several LD costumes at Phoenix Fan Fusion.

 

[The Wormhole]

T'Ana cosplayer is total win!

 

[Commander Troi]

She even had a sound effect for the *bleeps*!

s' for plural words that end in s, 's for plural words that do not end in s?

 

[137th Gebirg]

I'm... confused.

 

[cooleddie74]

Well, S***.

 

[Burning Hearts of Qo'nos]

I'm... confused.

I imagine the argument could come from how you mark a possessive from the plural of Bird of Prey. Like the torpedoes of multiple Birds of Prey (or Bird of Preys). Is it Birds of Prey's torpedoes, or Bird of Preys' torpedoes. In the end, it's just the original argument of what plural is correct lol.

Got it. Then there is the almost archaic rule weirdness for the plurality of things old titles as well. Knights Templar vs Knight Templars, Attorneys General vs Attorney Generals, and so on. Similar grief ensues and gets amped up exponentially when you do wind up adding the possessive cases to those particular scenarios.

Fucking English...

 

[Oddish]

s' for plural words that end in s, 's for plural words that do not end in s?

I see that business a lot. The grammatically correct version is:
Singular possessive (one dog): the dog's bones.
Plural possessive (two dogs): the dogs' bones.
Specific plural words: the children's dogs.

And of course, the Ensigns Kim.

 

[The Wormhole]

For some reason the "Team S vs Team S" bit made me think they got embroiled in their own "is Starfleet a military?" argument.

[Tuskin38]

Rewatching season 1, wow it’s a lot more violent and bloody compared to the later seasons than I remembered

Just to be certain, Attorney Generals are not a thing. They do not exist.

General is an adjective modifying Attorney. What type of attorney is he? District Attorney? Nope. Prosrcuting attorney? Nope. An attorney in general.

Thus, one cannot pluralize the adjective.

Yes, I get the fact the both words are the title, and thus a noun. But within the title, general is an adjective modifying attorney.

Thus, it is ALWAYS attorneys general in the plural.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Yep! But still...

Fucking English...

 

[fireproof78]

Yep! But still...

Fucking English...

Well, when you have a mash up of about 4 to 6 languages, as well as various populations moving about, the influence of the French language as the aristocratic language, as well as Latin and Greek with different rules you're bound to run into some oddities.

 

[Nerys Myk]

English has never met a word it would not steal.
