But if we don’t let twitter users whinge about obviously exaggerated and satirical drawings, how will they feel superior to everyone else??

I’ve never been declined a warranty reimbursement for lack of original packaging. That would be crazy to me.

Is the director’s cut the version where they cut away from the mind meld scene to shoehorn in a bunch of flashbacks for people who can’t remember the conspirators names?

If so, I hate that version! What a garbage change to a magnificently acted scene.

I love all the TOS films (which is more than I can say for any other era), but at the very least I’d think that if you like II and IV you ought to enjoy III and VI.

III is the middle of a trilogy you’ve already seen the first and last instalments of and is a solid adventure on its own, and VI brings back the director of II to give the whole series a proper send off.

It's a complete mess -

  • "So, he's really into this three year old..."
  • "Oh no!"
  • "No, it's not like that! Her people age rapidly, so she's actually fully mature."
  • "Huh. Well, I guess maybe..."
  • "Yeah, but he does totally act like her father, anyway. A super jealous insecure father."
  • "Does her family have something to say about this?"
  • "Oh, they leave behind her entire race and everything she knows in the first episode. But he proooobably didn't pressure her into it?"
  • "Probably??"
  • "They decide it offscreen. Anyway, he's the ship's lovable goofball!"

Mortal Coil? Joking aside, Neelix became a lot more tolerable to me after Kes left the show so half his deal stopped being what a controlling creep he was with her. I'll admit he had some good episodes and solid character development over time.

Fair, but I also don't give a shit about Tuvok or Neelix.

When Van Helsing first came out, I thought it was the stupidest movie I’d ever seen and I hated it.

Now I think it’s the stupidest movie I’ve ever seen and I love it.

Moriarty was a TNG villain. Why would he fight for the people who left him to rot in holographic limbo? At best he's sitting this out, more likely he's joining the other side.

They called it out in TWoK, too. It was the first thing out of David’s mouth when it came up. And the movie ends with Kirk admitting that cheating the test left him unprepared for real failure.

According to the Shatnerverse, reprogramming the test has become the expectation in the 24th century. The meaning of the test has completely inverted over time to become a lesson about thinking outside the box to win.

I love Cause and Effect, but it’s one of the few time loops where no character remembers past loops. Not much room for character growth there.

The Disco episode the meme comes from is actually the best two-in-one example.
