Koltar, when he drowned in the swamp
(startrek.website)
T-800, his thumb held high
Me, when the tear fell.
T-1000 flailing like a bitch
"The arm left by the previous T-800 caused this mess and I noticed he's missing an arm. Should I find it and toss that in, too? Nah, I'm sure it will be fine."
And that's why the shitty sequels happened.
My wife likes TNG and Lower Decks, I'm still easing her in to DS9 and Voy.
The other day I showed her a picture of Picard wearing a yellow uniform, and she said "he's wearing the wrong uniform. He's command, not engineering." before I could even ask her what was wrong with the Pic.
I immediately yelled "YOU'RE FINALLY A NERD!" And shot a text to the family text group and our friend group to share the good news, everyone had a good chuckle, and she just goes "YOU MADE ME THIS WAY! Not that I'm complaining...."
I have successfully made a convert. And yesterday she actually asked to watch more Voy before she even got home from work.
when she corrects you and says the uniform is "gold" and the division is "operations," you'll know she's a super nerd!
To be fair, She mostly knows "engineering" because of Geordi and Rutherford.
Harry isn't going to be any help. Who knows what he does?
Well it sure isn't getting promoted.
Well, at some point Starfleet swapped colors. See Kirk and Scotty from TOS.
I like how most Star Trek characters are clueless about the past, but the Lower Decks characters have encyclopedic knowledge about the most minute details.
That's what makes Lower Decks cringeworthy for some people (not me): they lean on the fourth wall all the time, they act more as fans than as people in universe.
And that's why I love it. Star Trek has way too many goofy moments to take itself too seriously.
For real. The musical episode in SNW is around the seventh or eighth goofiest premise for an episode, and I'm not even counting Lower Decks.
That episode crossed the line to "unwatchable" for me. "We'd love to sing" should not be a reason to have such an episode. I like Christina Chong, but knowing she pushed for this episode soured her character for me.
It was worth it just for the Klingon scene.
or the DS9 episode Trials and Tribble-ations where they actually comment on this.
She hasn't seen TOS, but does know the "red shirt" meme.
Personally I think TNG has the best color scheme, but I'm biased since it's my favorite
He also wears blue during the episode where Q makes him not a captain when he prevents his younger self from getting in the bar fight with the Naussicans
Dude gets a heart transplant after a bar fight with naussican pirates, And people still think he's an uptight nerdy philosophy major....
Ahem… archeology major.
Was Indiana Jones uptight and stuffy? Yeah, kinda…
I've seen him in front of academics, and teaching a class.
Yeah, when he's not out desecrsting sacred temples and stealing artifacts from indigenous tribes, he's pretty stiff and awkward. It doesn't help that all the college women in his class were all but throwing themselves at him.

That is what he becomes...until the movies, when Stewart wanted him to be an action hero.
Patrick Stewart is super jacked in those movies (specifically insurrection), it kinda blew my mind.
After watching the bit in We'll Always Have Tom Paris, I can't read Voy without hearing it in Mariner's voice
I really like how they managed to make the LD characters use TOS.
Ransom calls them "Those Old Scientists" and it catches on.
Honestly when I heard that line I cracked up, but my wife was lost since she hasn't seen it.
They seem pretty young to me 😉
Thats some grade-A retcon right there, and I'm here for it.
Kind of a missed opportunity to name the crossover episode "Those Old Scientists," though. Should have been something using SNW.
I don't have the faintest about what that means, but I feel this is a really good meme format!
I the Star Trek The Next Generation episode "Darmok and Jalad" we encounter the Tamarians, and they speak in metaphors.
This is one metaphor that appears a couple times in the episode.
Misunderstanding a cultural reference that refers to a culture that speaks only in cultural references that cause misunderstandings is delightful either way.
Holy shit that's awesome.
The T-1000 in panel 3 can assume anyone’s form but does not gain their memories so Arnold asks it a question that the real mom would know about star trek 🤡
This is the best one of these I've seen. Maybe just because T2JD is a fantastic film
It holds up really well, considering how old it is. You'd think the effects would look dated, but they're still as cool as the day they came out.
Sarah: "The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it for the first time with a sense of hope, because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too."
Narrator: "We couldn't."
