STD: Only Marginally Better than The Final Frontier

Reminds me of Channel 5

I liked this and I don't even know what Channel 5 is

Hey!!! Cassandra Clare isn't just a fanfiction writer...she's the creator of said book series. Which is really, really good. As for 50 shades...don't compare me to whoever started those. I have never shipped a character, or written anything but quality writing. Feel free to repost sections you think are 'bad' from my stories here for analysis. I'll refute every single complaint.

I am too busy doing my own writing, but thanks for the invite. The one rule to reading fanfic is to never go past the ‘Worf and Wesley were practicing on the Holodeck when...’ line in any fanfic you do not know for certain is tagged below a pg13. (Damned cultural imperialism...should be 15 damnit...)
Cassandra Clare wrote fanfic, then filed the serial numbers off and changed a few things by her own admission. And you can feel it when you read it. It feels like it should be a txt file on a screen, and you should view some animated gifs as a starter. Am sure she got better, and there are many paths from many things that might be called fanfic in the history of literature. I believe Austen once essentially wrote her own fanfic for the lols, and called it Northanger Abbey, but they didn’t have lols back then so I might be mistaken.

Don’t worry, Culber is only mostly dead.
His Sharp facial grooming has secret healing properties. DSC is all about the beards, one way or another.

I need to pay more attention to Queer Eye.

Culber? His own soul mate got over his death in a nano second. So much for that.

are you sure they didn't import the lols from the colonies back then?

I really want them to show Stamets properly mourning next season. I can understand that there wasn't a whole lot of time because of MU and war stuff at the end of season 1, but now they've got the chance!

Humans don’t grieve in the 23rd century. Genes dream.
Except Michael. She angst’s forever because she’s special. And anyone with a Thy’La.
But mainly Michael. Yar, Worf, Wesley, Troi, Riker, B’Ellana, Ro, Kira....man this list is long...would tell her to suck it up and stop moping.

Well done for others in the thread, remembering the names of the extras we now call a cast....but sorry, TNG and particularly VOY were as diverse, if not more, than DSC.

Picard, Riker, Wesley were white, straight men
Crusher, Troi and Yar were white straight women
Geordie and Worf were black man (and including Worf is generous because for Discovery I excluded aliens with tons of make up)

Voyager:
Janeway, Seven and Kes were white women
Tom and the Doctor were white man
Tuvok was a black man
Harry was an asian man
Chakotay was a native american man
Belanna is a latina

White and straight is still the majority in both shows although Voyager fares better at being diverse.

Also...was it really a positive that the ‘one white dude’ was killed? Really?

It's not a positive (primarily because we lost the strongest actor in the cast) but it is notable. Especially because "white, straight, male" is a minority on this show while it's often the standard on tv.

*puts very small beaded car seat cover on balding head and goes to meet the ambassadors*

They actually took that from a tiny car, they're just screwing with you, the people giggling, those are the ambasador's aides

Only if the landowners were looking to put nascent Yorkshire lols out of work. I have read George Eliot. Eeee.

meh. the multiverse was about to be destroyed. now that the crisis is over, he might have time to process the loss, but during the crisis saving the universe probably was the smart choice

I have to thank this thread for keeping me awake while I worked on a project I was editing all night. I couldn't have done it without all you crazy folk.

Now excuse me while I count all the Ben Franklins I made posting overtime...

 

[Jinn]

We all had way more fun than we deserved to. At least me

 

[Hythlodeus]

We had? Is it over? I'm still having fun now

 

[Jinn]

We had? Is it over? I'm still having fun now

Yeah, sure, let's keep it going. I just think we're getting a bit off-topic and I'm afraid of the lock.

 

[Refuge]

Saving the Universe? Mary Sue Burnham did that. I suppose after the medal ceremony Stamets might have squeezed out a tear for his dearly departed great love.

TNG had mae jemison and gave her a line, possibly also a name. Since we are also talking about extras.
Don’t forget Ro Laren, Nurse Ogawa, and sundry, and don’t forget how many non-Americans were in the crew. Am pretty sure Troi hovers in indeterminate on the Dulux chart, or falls under some exoticised other much like Ash, and O’Brien is recurring, which brings me onto Keiko, who has also got more development and lines in her TNG appearances that DSC. Though yes, that’s seven years versus one, so DSC has time to improve.
Boxes and labels are useless, I want to see good people in Trek damnit, I don’t care about the Anne Rice fascination with ethnicity.

 

[Hythlodeus]

oh well, back on topic then:
Hitler, was he worse than a fictional black woman?

 

[Jinn]

I don't think that Stamets would be so cold.

Nah, because you being a writer still doesn't matter.

Do you have anything to say about the memo that proves you wrong? I'm just curious.

Worse than fictional black female Hitler? Now we're in the Sean Hannity-in-a-speedo territory of awfulness.

Oops. Forgot. We should probably give TNG credit for stripping Yars Plot Armour then? Or Voyager for offing half the bridge crew and senior staff in caretaker, because the first officer and CMO were both straight white males...though I will never celebrate the death of Stadi, even if keeping her would have meant no Paris Piloting and possibly no Tom and Bells.
