What if you spent your frozen time, determining the problems of everyone in the world, and solving them? So, when everybody got unfrozen, it was a utopia.

Wow, is Catholicism really ready to enter the 20th century!?

It's been an ongoing plot line that Migleemo is sort of a lemon at counselling.

If they were really that good to hold on to, why would Costco sell them to you?

That's why it's bad policy to think about transit in terms of making a profit. It's a public service, that's the profit, and we all get it.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

In unrelated news, this corresponds directly to a record low in the both the breadth and the depth of the quantity of fucks I have to give about them and their bad year. Insiders are reporting the level to be at or near zero, and expect that level to maintain, for at least my natural lifespan. Film at 11.

They only have handicap parking because they were forced to by law. They only have wheelchair ramps because they were forced to by law. They only have accessibility features because they were forced to by law. See where I'm going with this?

Not that weird. The kids are the priority, and they should be.

I worked out a trade deal for someone to do some soldering for me. I had three devices that needed soldering, and they could keep one for themselves if they soldered the three of them for me. Today I discovered that they didn't even attempt the soldering, they fucked up all three of the devices, such that the soldering job can no longer be done by anyone, and they want me to compensate them for the time they wasted trying to fix them without soldering. I asked them to do the job, in trade for keeping one, because I am ill and my hands won't do fine work any more. I definitely don't want to pay them for not doing the job I asked, which I asked them to do because I couldn't afford to pay someone to do it. The job is still not done and can never be done now. Am I wrong to be angry with them? Do I have to be grateful and compensate them for their time that they wasted not doing what I asked them to do?

The quality of Star Trek in 1997 was an embarrassment of riches. Some of the best parts of the Dominion War on Deep Space Nine, Scorpion and Year Of Hell on Voyager, and First Contact in theaters. It was a great year to be a Star Trek fan!

The quality of Star Trek that I've seen this year has been giving me similar feelings, watching them hit it out of the park every week, wondering how they are going to top the last one then watching them do it, again and again. Is it just me?

Am I the only one? I haven't seen anybody talking about this show, and although it started off slow, it blew me away by the end.

Star Trek has always talked about Starfleet and the Federation as organizations that are worthy of trust. But practically every series has had examples of badmirals and evil bureaucracy, typically with 'our' heroes being the ones to fight against it. From stealing the Enterprise in TSFS to The Drumhead to Section 31 to petty theft Archer to Control and the Zhat Vash to the Illyrians, being and/or fighting against a compromised or infiltrated or just simply bad Starfleet has been a long recurring theme. That's why I loved when they turned that theme on its head in Lower Decks, with an entire episode based around fighting the evil Starfleet ended up superfluous because Starfleet was actually a fundamentally good organization and, as it turned out, the system actually works. I feel like the writers of Lower Decks are the only ones who really believe that...everybody else seems to want to scratch at the surface to see what they feel really lies beneath. Although, having said that, they ended the same season with a badmiral, so idk.
