Star Trek memes and shitposts
Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
The only other male bridge officer I can remember off hand is Spock, right? What a massive drift. "Can't get used to it so therefore WOMEN EVERYWHERE"
Another reason to love SNW. As if one was needed.
The funny thing about all this is .... what are we getting wrong today?
There are practices, beliefs, sayings and actions that we completely normalize in our current time. Future generations may look at us strangely for the things we portray today without us knowing.
I've been thinking about this.
Eating meat will be the big one. You look at history and meat was a rare treat, now it's the main part of almost every meal.
People will watch media where the characters grab a hotdog on the street corner and it will seem both barbaric and decadent.
There's probably something we are doing with children too that will seem odd. It takes a village to raise them after all and we isolate them with two parents that also have to work full time jobs. Can't be good for either.
Nah, soon there will be synthetic meat and eating it will be better than ever.
Common adoption of synthetic meat would make the act of eating real animals seem even more fucked up.
Yeah it would be reserved for the fucked-up decadent 1%.
Memes are a good example of a snapshot in time that doesn’t make sense 10, 20 years after.
People will look at a dancing baby and wonder why we thought it was worth sharing.
Probably the first viral meme I ever saw on the internet .... but back then it was the size of a postage stamp on a 12" CRT monitor and it made us feel like it was the year 2050 ... funny enough, the first GIF (or animated image file, I didn't know what I was looking at) I ever saw was porn on a wealthy friend's 386 PC and we all thought he was the coolest person alive.
I think throughout the show, they were gonna develop Pike more so he would overcome his prejudice, but they replaced him with Kirk instead.
That was the sense I got. When he says “oh not you, you’re not like other women” the look she gives him makes it clear we’re supposed to realize that was a fucked up thing to say.
Looking back at that, I think Roddenberry was lampshading the expected social discomfort expected in the audience when those words were put in Pike’s mouth. Regrettably, the rest audience reportedly still wasn’t willing to accept Number One.
It’s odd though given the prominent women characters in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea which was very popular a few years before.
"Turnabout Intruder" has also been effectively retconned all the way to hell.
I'm not a huge fan of retcons, at least ones that noticeably change lore, but I have no problems in retconing out some bigotry.
Why does this sound like an Ace Attorney chapter?
It's the word turnabout. I'm 95% sure that every case in all the mainline games starts with turnabout.
Well, it does have a court scene...
Good, that episode sucked. All Our Yesterdays is a much more fitting final episode anyway.
Interestingly, this scene technically isn't part of continuity because "The Cage" as a whole technically isn't part of continuity, only the parts that made it into later episodes, like "The Menagerie," are. Remember, "The Cage" was a rejected pilot that only got released later on as a bonus, like a collection of deleted scenes. "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was the show's accepted pilot.
That is incorrect. The entire episode was made fully canonical with a Season 2 Discovery episode. The episode opens with a flashback including various scenes from that episode. The entire episode revolves heavily around the events of that episode as well.
But I like having a reason to pretend sexist Pike didn't happen.
Fair lol I just pretend that he was misunderstood and the camera added 10lbs of sexism
"No offense, Lieutenant. You're different, of course."
