He might be now (I'm honestly not sure), but I'm pretty confident that he wasn't when the show started out. UPDATE: Memory Alpha isn't even helpful, but it does suggest that Dr. Pollard (that other lady) is only a Lt. Commander, while Culber is a full Commander, FWIW.

I'm certainly not going to dispute that last sentence in the paranthetical, but your definition of "denomination" just before that doesn't match one I've ever heard before.

Uhhh, what denomination is the NDoP supposed to be, then? Is he confusing the word for "dominionist"? That's a very different concept.

It's less that he disputed the point, but I felt that Wonko's assertion in post #2,222 was too generic about the crime for which he was advocating Trump's imprisonment, and I think that being too generic on this point is actively dangerous. Let's not give our opponents fuel to accuse of...

The question is less "don't charge Trump, or you have to try everyone else, too" (my former comment notwithstanding) and more "is the crime you're talking about really WORTH all that fuss?" Mere possession of documents has been (historically) deemed not to be "worth all that fuss," whereas...

If he should have been locked up simply for the documents, so should/would have other former (and current) presidents. His problem was the attempt to prevent the FBI from doing so, which is all-but unprecedented.

WIth my luck, they'd include paper heads, colored (in Ratchet's case) Marvel-style, thus compelling me to buy one because they NEVER done Marvel colors before.... (Suffice it to say, that's NOT what I'm looking for!)

Many fine people, no doubt.

As the saying goes, if the punishment is a fine, it's legal if you're rich.

I felt that thread needed better closure, myself, but the interviews I'd seen suggest that they always considered that thread closed as soon as they finished with Season 2 (and, given that Season 3 was filmed right on its heels, I see no reason to argue otherwise). Some threads, I guess, are...

I could be wrong, but I don't think most people would agree with you (especially in regard to Discovery). But I was intending to reference the shows' initial seaons (plural) rather than strictly the FIRST season of each show. Even if we agree that season two was worse than season one, both...

It's not the theology I ascribe to, to be sure, but that was hardly the point I was making in bringing it up.

It's a trade off. We get FAR fewer episodes these days then we used to, but the episodes we DO get tend to be of much higher quality (Discovery and Picard's first seasons notwithstanding).

Pilgrimages are rather a different thing, though. Usually, a pilgrimage is (explicitly) about letting the place have an impact on the believer, whereas we're more talking about the influence believers might have on specific places.

And the way these streaming seasons have been leaking out, it's pretty darn close to taking seven years just to GET five seasons (and not just for this show)....

I should note that going to a physical location to "pray over it" is very much a thing, even besides the bit in wonko's post above.

This seems a hoax. If nothing else, the redirect described would be redirecting a hypothetical "netflitwitter.com" to "netflix.com" rather than the other way around.

Does anyone have access to a post from four years ago where this doom and gloom was being spread? Just so we can prove part of it wrong? I certainly don't think we should be taking victory for granted, but this isn't helpful at all.

Generally speaking, it's been when they bring in folks with deep ties to the franchise that the stories have taken a nose-dive, not the other way around. I'm willing to wait and see.
