It’s just 725 episodes and 10 feature films.

11 feature films. You forgot Galaxy Quest.

I think he skipped counting that show and those feature films on purpose.

(He did forget that there! are! 11! feature films! including Galaxy Quest, though.)

Lower Decks captures a lot of that Gene Roddenberry “all the characters are good guys” style better than anything since Voyager as far as I’m concerned.

The Orville is on up there too, but I agree Lower Decks is better.

Hot take: you don't fully appreciate Q until you've watched all the episodes he's in. That includes the ones in Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Be honest: you just wanted an excuse to post that reference, didn't you?

Physics does not work that way, you insolent fool!

Regardless of Klingon muscles, the fact that the blade sticks out sideways from the handle creates a lever arm that tends to make it droop due to gravity whenever it's held horizontally. Even if Klingon hands are different, they're not that different that it's somehow advantageous to keep torquing upwards so the blade points at the opponent instead of the floor.

Side note: if you can do that and retain your memories, by their rules haven’t they invented an immortality machine?

Toss it on the pile with the Khan blood and the rest of the immortality methods we see once and then never hear of again.

...to the point that they somehow got away with giving Quark, of all characters, the moral high ground when criticizing human history.

Honestly, your "the most stable and ethical expression of capitalism" thesis has made me realize just how right Quark was. With humanity, the wealth gained through unchecked capitalism inevitably gets parleyed into political power that destroys the free market that enabled it in the first place. For Ferengi society to be stable, that dictatorial tendency would have to be absent, which means they really are better.

If this were !doctorwho@lemmy.world I would've written that instead myself, LOL.

Obviously, Ms. Frizzle is a Q.
