I have been a Trekkie long before I joined.

Pretty much my thing.

You can find this on the album Inside Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry was asked to give an example of network notes. For context, just know Gene was a Humanist. He framed The Bible as if it was the script for a television show. Everything pretty much would have been deemed inappropriate.

I know we tease people in modern times who would criticize Jesus of Nazareth for how he has been historically known, but it is wild how a religious text would not been deemed acceptable for 60s or 70s television.

But is he really? He was from a future that was erased by the actions of the NX-01.

I hate that Ben Stiller named that character such. Stiller is a big TOS fan (doesn’t seem to have watched anything else based on interviews). He named his production company Red Hour.

EDIT: I do not like Zoolander.

Eight months before my grandfather passed, I bought a bottle of chateau Picard. I thought since he liked TNG and wine, he’d share it with me. Wasn’t to his liking. He told me to finish it fast. By the end of the week it tasted awful.

EDIT: There was sediment at the bottom of the bottle which formed.

How many times can you use the Spock-Scotty bridge scene (the lighting and angle give away what episode it was)?

How is this remembered for the allegory but not the huge animal with horns that attacks Kirk?

I’d send them that clip of Will Arnet being corrected on LEGO Masters about the grammatical plural of LEGO. That would be my reply. At least criticize them with proper grammar.
