It's hard to come up with a circumstance and a buy-in where you can still have Star Trek adventures with real stakes and real peril, but it's also a school.
White Squall. In space. 🤞
when I realize I have no new treks to watch
Its not like these clowns will actually win the siege of Antioch and then betray me for wisely noping the fuck out. And later return to conquer us, their fellow christians. Nah, that could never happen 🙃
Not OC, this is an old crusader kings 2 meme template.
Fuck yes, sign me up! ENT fans want to get fed!
The show ended right as Archer entered his prime, just after we saw him broken and beaten by a real year of hell. I want to see that prime era Archer (of which we were robbed) in flashbacks as the current one is once again broken and beaten by another year of hell.
I really hope they get this off the ground 🙏
and all distros jumped into the honeypot
As a filthy casual this is the most distressing part.

Meanwhile, Final Fantasy Tactics with the translation-so-bad-it’s-might-be-a-masterpiece.
Actually interesting and novel ability names
Japanese: Dance with knives
1997 Localization: Wiznaibus
WotL Localization: Mincing Minuet
Dialog that pulls no punches
Japanese: My bad, but it's between you and your god
1997 Localization: Tough luck...Don't blame me. Blame yourself or God.
WoTL Localization: Forgive me. 'Tis your birth and faith that wrong you, not I.
Other gems lost in the improved localization:
All that being said, the final fantasy gang is generally spectacular with English mastery. It’s like you can tell which books they like to read when they choose obscure words like Eidolon.

You don’t have to be a genius to see the pattern 🤷♀️
One of those nobodies I’ve heard of and at least has a good song 🤷♀️, bigger than kiss by teenage bottle rocket
Hey I’m actually growing a black sapote!
Here’s a blurry pic of the fruit forming
Technically correct is the best kind of correct right?
How about this alternative with Burnham’s many mothers instead of Picard’s many sons
Jason Vigo: dna manipulated by vengeful ferengi
Shinzon: dna manipulated by vengeful romulans
Jack Crusher: dna manipulated by vengeful human/changeling/borg/hybrids or something like that
I’m gonna go with capitalism made her wicked 😎
OSYRAA: Fine. If the Chain is to unite with the Federation, you need to send the message that our culture is fundamentally valid and ethical.
VANCE: And how are we supposed to do that?
OSYRAA: By acknowledging that capitalism is already happening within the Federation.
Oh is it finally time to eat?
Well, mostly agree on 😉
The emperors of the late fourth and fifth centuries then proceeded to invite people into the house, promising its shelter, if only they would help them light one more fire – and then when the house was burned down and everyone was left on the cold ground, they tried to shift the blame onto the very guests they had invited.

B5 gang, you're my only hope.
why's it so hard 😭
I swear I remember they cut directly to Obrien and Data with incredulous "did he just say saucer sep" looks on their faces.
Did you miss “tranq”, short for tranquilizer? It’s pretty native and modern sounding right? That being said ya the list is disappointing
