Indeed, it was, followed by Ten Forward and This Might Be Lemmy.

I know that this one's been tackled twenty thousand million times and you're probably tired of seeing time loop memes by now, but like the urge to stick Gowron eyes on everything in the universe, I couldn't resist this intrinsic urge.

Honestly, he probably didn’t anymore, especially if his kids were in Lakarian City.

Better than that time everything on here was just about Beverly Crusher on drugs.

Very well. For simple memes, just plop a textbox.

Though drawing bezier curve paths to create masks is a bit cursed.

I do my memes in Inkscape. Should be rather easy to install on Mint.

I haven't watched most of Picard yet except the first few episodes of season 1, but I weirdly picked up this detail from the IDW Picard's Academy comic. I enjoyed it. Maybe not a masterpiece, but it was at my local library and I would read it again just to look at Spock's outfit:

There's just something weirdly fitting about business casual out Starfleet Academy Instructor Spock.

Jokes aside, I would view this more as a Thomas Riker situation - Voyager was split in two in that moment. Both Kims were the same Kim before the divergence field, so both Kims have the same record before then.

In truth, probably part of Kim being stuck at one rank was probably because of a lack of transfers from Voyager, for obvious reasons - it's practically raining promotions on the Cerritos for instance, and transfer seems relatively frequent in Lower Decks.

Actually, according to an okudagram in PRO, he is at least a full Lieutenant by 2384 in the prime timeline.

I'm usually not one to beat a dead ~~Reman~~ ~~horse~~ being, but I had to point this one out.

As it turns out, besides also playing background characters in every episode Quimp appeared in, Tom Kenny also played Mariner's ex Malvus in "An Embarrassment of Dooplers", D'Onni in "We'll Always Have Tom Paris", the Ferengi antagonists of "Mugato Gumato", and several background characters in each of those episodes.

Always thought that Dukat was space war criminal version of Michael Scott.

I like my Quark version:

collapsed inline mediaQuark tells Rom, "If I had a slip of latinum for variations on the "if I had a nickel" template in this post, I'd have two slips. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice."

Seriously, though. Why do Quark and Doofenschmirtz give kind of the same vibes? I guess part of it is a Perry the Platypus dynamic with Odo.

From LD S4 E4 "Something Borrowed, Something Green".

In response to a meme I saw comparing Nog and Wesley.

In the pilot, they depict Mojave, California as being very terraformed from a desert to a lush parkland.

However, I find this a bit antiquated... this seems to be very much rooted in an atomic age scientific idealism that thought of how we could make the world work for us and bring it to more western standards of natural beauty.

I think this is in conflict with the TNG solar punk aesthetic and the general respect for nature implied by the Prime Directive - notice how there's no desert bushes in sight as if they wiped them out. This seems to be insane damage to the ecosystem.

I wonder if they'll ever revisit Mojavo on-screen, and whether they'll retcon this so that Mojave is a gorgeous desert town where they solved the problems of drought and extreme heat plaguing the southwestern US while working in tandem with and even boosting the local wildlife, rather than just razing everything and plastering grass and non-native trees over it.

I'd bet we probably only have 3 seasons for it to happen, considering that 5 seasons has tended to be the length of most recent Trek shows (except poor old Prodigy). The only thing giving me hope is that SNW seems to be a decently successful series.

 

I have a feeling “Severance” has a different connotation with Klingons.
