I love Cause and Effect, but it’s one of the few time loops where no character remembers past loops. Not much room for character growth there.

The Disco episode the meme comes from is actually the best two-in-one example.

Agreed, you need that sweet water cooler talk to enjoy a show to its fullest.

Interesting point. I remember TAS' Kirk being much less, well, animated. I'd chalk it up to the limits of Filmation and Shatner being less interested in voice work, but I'll need to keep Wesley in mind next time I watch it.

I’m 40 years old, and that’s how I was taught. We were quizzed up to 12x12, and that’s way too many products to handle with just rote memorization.

I’m personally not in love with simply doing more TOS. Feels like a show, once done, should stand for itself. Plus, I’m okay with Paul Wesley as younger Kirk, but he wasn’t a great fit when he debuted as mature Kirk.

I’d be more excited about something running parallel. Number One as the captain of her own ship (with the occasional 1701 team up, of course) would be more appealing to me.

It’s a room with a big mattress you can sleep on - but please, my name’s not Matt.

That thread says they were created using this tool, but I see no way to isolate genders there: https://www.cookpolitical.com/swingometer/2024

It looks like someone isolated the different racial categories, then tacked on "men" for superior click-bait.

Nah, that’s just how they’re announcing the date. If that were the actual title it would be on its own line with at least some kind of special font treatment.

I’ve been hearing about how Kurtzman is days away from being fired since Discovery’s first season. If he does choose to step down, there’ll still be no convincing those people that he wasn’t forced out in disgrace.

Also one of TNG’s creepier episodes. At least it left a pretty strong impression on me as a kid.

But, no, the lizard thing didn’t happen to Geordi.

Or did it?
