Just to preface my opinion, I think it’s ok to disagree on this haha. HOWEVER I don’t think it’s much of a travesty anytime Chakotay didn’t get to have a main plot. He’s a really wooden actor (made all the more obvious by mulgrew’s strength) who was given a really poorly defined character (as you can see by the way his hobbies are, like, whatever they needed to be for the plot to move? And never the same?) And sure, the powers that be wanted eye candy… but seven did end up being a super substantial character. She had some of the best stories and made all the best characters better just by being there. She was an amazing foil!

There’s like… no downside: all upside.

Edit: I exaggerated, of course. Below this are some downsides that individuals have experienced. But personally, my experience using Firefox on desktop for Mac has been all upside. If everybody who can just tries it out, you might be surprised at how friction-free the change is.

Who else assumed this was a technology connections video before reading the channel name?

American here: when I read that in my own accent I didn’t get it, so I backed up and read the punchline in an English accent and I laughed. Funny how that works

Alt text (which is actually, and always has been, the title text but we all just call it the alt text: "wipe questions about old star trek episodes from MY mind and there simply wouldn't be anything left, and i would be as blank as Uhura was when her memory was wiped by Nomad, the space probe created by the collision of an Earth probe designed to seek out new life forms, and Tan Ru, an alien probe programmed to secure and sterilize soil samples from other planets, and their two programs merged and create a probe who believed its purpose was to seek out and steralize imperfect life forms and which then mistook Captain James Kirk as Jackson Roykirk, its creator!"

Avelon is amazing. Feels like Apollo mostly. My only complaints are piddly stuff.

The scene where Worf says “it is I who have endangered our friendship” always makes me cry.

I canceled as soon as they said they were going to be cracking down, months ago. I pay for 4 screens, and on principle, I want to be allowed to use them without being nagged or scolded or banned. So if they don't want my business on those terms, there are plenty of other streaming services with just as much content I like.

In this episode, Picard utters the line “Kelsey! Don’t be a fool!” My name is Kelsey. And this line delights me every time. I don’t know why, stop asking!

You seem knowledgeable about this stuff… where can you go in the United States to see actual skywriting? I’ve never seen it, but I’ve always lived the middle of nowhere.

That is her namesake yes! We call her Zefram, Zeffie and Zef among other nicknames.

From nugget form at ~8 weeks to this photo taken at I think 6. She’s now 8 years old and looks much the same (except for a surgery scar from a total carpal fusion).
