In case of TOS, they literally pitched it as a kind of Western but in space to the studios due to the popularity of the genre on TV (both DeForest Kelly and Shatner had also already appeared in Western serials).

I mean, technically everything from TNG onwards would be NuTrek and Kelvin-stuff would be NuNuTrek, or rather Re-Trek, since it’s a reboot.

I really hate that Star Trek is apparently fully in the hands of Alex Kurtzman now.

Reminds me of that South Park episode.

“Hey, poor people, we have the cure for Parkinson’s, it’s gold! Hurray!”

That’s not true at all.

Before Musk, Twitter claimed that they couldn’t effectively censor Nazi stuff because it was too similar to what Republicans post, so… yeah.

Goatse, his cheeks spread.

He was considerate enough to ask the co-worker if she was well and asked for explicit content before engaging in sexual activities with her. Looks fine to me.

There’s no guarantee you will get more money! Get the same money or less guaranteed instead!

As far as I know that’s pretty much on point on how transporters work. There is an episode of TNG where someone was stuck in the energy state and conscious and saw energy beings living there. Of course then there is also the case of the two Rikers which seems to show that copying a person is indeed possible under very specific circumstances (I think there was some interference with exotic energy or something).

Somebody gets a plague.

Doesn’t have to be illegal to ruin your career. Could just be a horny web search at 3 am.

I have already seen job postings of websites looking for “proofreaders”.

He has pretty much always been almost a caricature of a horrible boss.

That’s what you get when you model your behaviour as CEO on Elon fucking Musk.

Burnham: I’ve been raised by Vulcans, that’s why I’m always acting logical. Next scene: Burnham starts another intergalactic war with her erratic behaviour.
