True, but to be clear:

Limnology : oceanography :: Freshwater biologist : marine biologist

Honestly, after a day to reflect, I think the story could’ve worked a lot better in the hands of a better director, and special effects that didn’t come as a prize in a cereal box.

Haha, I just happened to re-watch Star Trek V last night for the first time this millennium. It struck me that, for all of Shatner’s well-known ego, the movie that he directed featured Kirk failing/falling, being shown as unreasonable at times, losing control of the situation, letting others take charge, and mostly avoiding big battles. I mean, he was still Kirk, but with a lot more humility than usual.

Majel Barrett also appeared in an episode of Babylon 5 as a show of good will because of the intense fueding between the B5 and DS9 fandoms. (IDK, this beef was a thing back then. 🤷‍♂️)

And yet, somehow, people willingly step into it all the time!

Another question: Why do they still do natural childbirth when they have transporters?

The real question is how many atmospheres of pressure can a Bird-of-Prey withstand? (If we want to fish it out of San Francisco Bay.)

Reminds me of that time I felt old when the local historical society had a display of a 1990’s living room.
