I always laugh when you point out inconsistencies with your direct writing style.

Whenever Culber is on screen I turn to my partner and say he’s died. More often than not it comes up.

You honestly just know when it’s a Frakes directed episode. Things just feel quality.

I’m out of the loop. Any reason given for leaving? I feel like I’ve watched ZP on and off since we got a family computer.

Is this to give context on all the things in the episode? My girlfriend would love it if I could talk about all that random stuff here instead of pausing the episode to tell her. Please save my relationship haha.

Yeah they put the tube in and I woke up 6 hours later. I was literally turned off and on.

From what I hear he is a super great guy so I do wish him all the best.

He’s now going to be a Nintendo Ambassador or something. I wonder if this is just to change the voice of Mario while also effectively retiring him from voice acting so they don’t have Mario voicing Bayonetta in the next game or something.

I wish when governments said they want to be competitive with China they did like the one thing China does that would raise our quality of life. As in make trains.

While I do agree that TOS looked dated even when I was a kid I don’t know if we should redo TOS just for updating it’s sake. I don’t remember how far into the 5 year mission TOS starts but I would be happy to get episodes before or after it. My main point is that I think society is at a different place and our science fiction should represent that. I think some of the great TOS episodes hit so hard because we understand our society having that problem and it gives us solutions to our own struggles. While many of the social issues of the late 60’s are still prevalent and it seems like American (I’m not American) is backsliding on a lot of things such as Women’s Rights I would still like these issues looked at from where we are today and not where we were in the 60’s.

TL:DR Science fiction is an abstraction of our society and I want our Sci-fi to abstract 20XX and not 1960’s.
