Anyone else excited for the new Dreadnaught Game? I know it's not ST but I can just imagine matches of a 100v100 epic space battle a la Deep Space 9

Pretty much.

Yeah, pretty much. Although Crusher's *cough* "assets" are larger than Troi's. Don't judge me for noticing after a few years. Please?

Well, when you don't walk with your...moons of Betazoid just hanging out there like Troi did, it is harder to notice.

Shatner seems to age extremely well. Isn't he also in his eighties?

Hopefully he's with the world for a long time yet.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

I've noticed millennials speak more and more in references. They'll make a statement and then to expand on that statement by referencing an event or popular culture.

I think it's only a matter of time before the initial statement is removed and we just speak in references.

That'll be bad news for people who are in to the wrong things. Although it would be fun to speak in nothing but Star Trek references for a while. There're probably enough episodes that I could do it.

Lemme ask this:
Wtf is Troi doing on the bridge of the enterprise???

She is useless there.
And even if she was useful, how is she a senior crew member???

Speaking of senior crew members, I'm not sure they're supposed to leave the enterprise D as many times as they do.

And the moral justification for Picard disobeying orders in Insurrection are backward and wrong.

Cause, allegedly, her Betazoid powers were supposed to be useful. They never were, but they kept saying they were.

Cause, allegedly, her Betazoid powers were supposed to be useful. They never were, but they kept saying they were.

They were useful in the first couple seasons. Then they realized that she was completely overpowered and spent the next five trying to come up with excuses for why her powers couldn't help.
