Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I am saying I am not watching the video. I would prefer a tight paragraph or two about whatever the videographer thinks are the extraordinary circumstances.

Honestly, the title of the video is succinct, you've got all the information you need to know if you're interested.

If I'm not going to watch the video why would I click through to read the title? I went and skimmed the wikipedia article instead.

I mean the title of this post... But I'm glad you read the wiki article

The title in the post is a tease. It doesn't actually say anything?

I know what you are saying, and I fully support you in your mission to consume content faster, it's just got nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

Well how else would they make your post about themselves? I mean, would they even feel superior if they hadn't bother to comment
