Can it cure cankles?

Maybe you just don’t like leola root.

The bag is meant to be purchased as a unit. If you open the bag, the lemon inside won’t be labeled for individual purchase (no sticker with a code to ring it up at the register), plus now you’ve ruined the bag so nobody else can purchase it.

Rubberized coating does that eventually, especially if the ambient humidity is high.

Solvable problem. You just need a turkey baster.

This looks very slick, but I hope it isn’t style over substance like Discovery was. Discovery was terrible but it sure did look nice. I’m keeping my expectations on the floor for this show.

The Delta Flyers podcast did a great job reviewing this episode. If you’re not familiar with the podcast, it was started by Robert Duncan McNeil and Garrett Wang originally to review all episodes of Voyager. When they finished with Voyager, they added Armin Shimerman and Terry Farrell as hosts to review all episodes of DS9. For this particular episode, they had Nana Visitor on as a special guest. It was a really interesting listen!

Especially lies

Garak is both sex and war

TOS: Uhura
TNG: Riker
DS9: actually hard to choose. Kira or Sisko or Bashir or Jadzia
VOY: Torres, but honorable mention to Kim
ENT: Archer
DIS: Culber or Owosekun
PIC: Seven
SNW: Spock or Uhura or Pike or Chapel, hard to choose

Can’t really speak to the other shows because I haven’t seen them

…in a pot?

Yeah, styrofoam’s notoriously bad for the environment. Plus just annoying to deal with. I hate it.

What beautiful, bittersweet memories. Thank you for sharing them.

No, of course it’s not healthy. I’m just saying it’s not violent.

In a marriage/committed partnership, I think most people would consider a fight to be an argument with raised voices and some ill feeling. I really don’t think most people consider shouting to be violent. Upsetting, maybe, but violent?

Ugh I really hated Space Babies

Ooh yeah I’ve heard people speak highly of The Orville, and I keep forgetting to check it out! If I’m not mistaken, it’s got Penny Johnson (Kasidy Yates) in it, right?

Ugh… I’ve been so reticent to watch modern Trek. I’ve heard such bad things about Discovery and have never been tempted to try it. But I really love the TNG era, so I gave in and watched Picard season 1…man, that was a mistake. Too modern, too snarky, too fucking meta. I swore off modern Trek. But then I read loads of threads saying that SNW was a return to form, and that it felt the most like Star Trek out of all the modern series. So even though I knew I might hate it, yesterday I watched the first three episodes. I’m already so annoyed with it. Super meta, the cast is for the most part way too young, and it’s loose or completely disregarding toward canon (yeah, Spock and T’Pring having sex without Pon Farr… give me a break!), and plotlines that make no sense at all. I’m so annoyed with it. I get that '80s/'90s TV was too earnest for today’s audiences, but SNW feels like a parody of Star Trek, not a worthy successor. So far, nothing feels like actual high stakes. There really isn’t serious drama that I actually care about. When shows are too snarky and meta, it makes it really hard for me to connect with them.

I do recognize that first seasons can be rocky, so I’ll at least stick with it through the end of the season. But I can’t lie, it’s off to a terrible start. I wish we could have shows more in keeping with the tone and themes of TNG and DS9 (or even Voyager!).

Oh man I miss Kools.
