I regret to inform you that you are now obligated to sing this during Klingon karaoke at every convention you attend that has such an event for at least the next year.

In full costume, of course.

@Lydia_K woke up and chose violence.

Mirror universe Alexander would probably still have two living parents.

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.

I'm very unclear on what exactly makes "transporter credits" or "labor vouchers" different from "money."

I’m thinking either Jake has some sort of allowance or stipend, and is exaggerating when he says he “doesn’t have money”

I mean, having walking around money and having Mom-style "now that's walking around money" (i.e. enough to buy a Willy Mays rookie card) are two different things.

Somebody ought to ask Garrett Wang what he thinks about that. (Remind me 11 months from now and I'll do it at next year's Dragon Con if I get the chance.)

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.
