I kept thinking of “The Reckoning” the entire episode.

Okay, thank you for mentioning that. I was unaware he was from Puerto Rico.

Honestly, depending on your ethnicity or where you live, touring as a musician in the U.S. these days seems difficult because of that for you and your fans. I don’t get why anyone overseas would want to tour in the U.S. right now.

That song is starting to creep me out.

Is the shooter a person of color? Seriously, ask yourself that. Likely that is the citing factor for someone coming up with fucking bullshit like this. When the shooter is white, the defenders of gun rights will point to mental health. The point I am making is that POC will be a used as a scapegoat to upturn causes in society for their actions while a white person is largely upheld by gun rights advocates as a sign of failure to address mental health.

Then logically one could infer that they would rather die than prevent the senseless violence.

EDIT: I’m not advocating for anyone’s death or praising what occurred. I just wanted to point to how moronic his stance was. Why would anyone say any death from gun violence is okay?

I have to keep reminding my self how Dr. Spaceman is pronounced.

🤨

My mind immediately went there.

René famously was unaware of the first VHS release editing back in his scenes. Some versions oddly don’t credit him when a scene is present.

Glares are you in Vulcan.

Hexclad has a new(?) commercial where Ramsay is in it and meets Pete Davidson. Davidson says most celebrities are aliens.

Did they really go to Vasquez for this?

There is actually a group of people who call themselves Treksperts (it’s a podcast). They’ve gotten to moderate a whole theater of panels at STLV (two years running).

Well… yes and no. The most recent home media release removes all those scenes about the war, the assassination and the reveal.

EDIT: I don’t know why Paramount couldn’t just settle on a director’s cut that they clearly state is separate from the theatrical cut which is canonical. They keep changing the cut with each release.

EDIT 2: I am sure @ummthatguy@lemmy.world, you know this. I’m adding this for others reading my comment who are unaware. Throughout the years, various home media releases for STVI, have inconsistently included and removed a number of (if not all) scenes regarding a secret plan to keep Federation and Klingon Empire at war, as well as the assasination attempt on the Federation President and on top of that a reveal that the assassin was a Human disguised as a Klingon, and revealing that the Human is Colonel West (played by René Auberjonois). A old Director’s Cut showed the fake rescue plan by West and how he eventually was going to attempt to kill the Federation President. Subsequent releases would jumble what scenes got included. Someone would show Colonel West rescue plan scene and the assassination attemp but never the reveal while others showed just the reveal. As of the latest 4K release, all of these scenes have been removed again.

So we are getting a white man problems story (a few of the Bachman books I’ve read are exactly that) that shift hard into environmental classism (pollution aimed at lower classes) with a quarter of the story remaining?

The movie with Arnold was nothing like the book. I wanna see people who are discriminated on, so badly their money isn’t acceptable as currency.

He’s having flashbacks to when the whales attacked.

I had shepards pie at a pub once. Full disclosure I was 13 years old (traveling with family). I thought it was okay as I recall. That’s British, right?

I didn’t notice Picard is full size before he finishes materializing. Is this a “Rascals” scenario?

Reminder, this is another meme from the episode where Riker is accused of murder and rape.
