I wanted to make a posture joke, but alas, I'm at a loss for words. 🙃 There was a Hooters in my city for a few years. True story, I never went. I'm just fascinated by how these places have carved out a niche in the dining-out industry in Japan, and am wondering as to the appeal. Is it a...

Although it's a bit out of date (having been published a few years before Discovery launched), and like all fan speculation is subject to being discarded by new canon revelations, one fan did assemble the bits of lore surrounding the Orions and attempt to create a coherent cultural portrait (as...

"Belay that, mister!" 😉 While it must be said that ENT's second season was quite lackluster -- to the point that many were describing the Trek saga as a zombie franchise at that point -- the writing for seasons 3 and 4 knocked ot out of the park, to use those baseball metaphors that the Berman...

It's funny that you mentioned Starbucks (insert obligatory rant about how neither Dirk Benedict nor Katee Sackhoff see a dime from that chain.... 😉) Over in Cascadia, where coffee is essential for people to be functional, it's generally said of designer coffee chains that one is paying for the...

I'd been toying with the conceit (given that Discovery Season 2 seems to end with Section 31 being taken thoroughly off the board) that the 2370s appearance of the organization was the Zife administration dusting off the name of a long-defunct agency to run their own plausibly deniable intel...

We had a summer rain over here. Between that and the bar advertising discussion, perhaps a palate cleanse is in order? So, courtesy of Mairi/Miley of "Smiley Time" infamy, have some yukata modeling, rainy walks, sponsored snacks, and a trip to a maid cafe.

I know it'd feel too much like a Modern Hype Train, but the 1990s is a certain fast-talking mercenary's Debut Decade.... So though it's probably unlikely to be scheduled, could Ryan Reynolds please have a guest appearance in this? I mean, a Wolverine/Deadpool team-up where Wolverine uses the...

I was going for Garry Chalk as G2 Silverbolt, but I am An Old, I guess:

"Basics video!" "New Basics video!" TRAAAANS-FORMERS!!

I may regret wading into this, but as Thy2K had previously described a type (Christians co-opting Judaism for political reasons even to the point of creating a fake cultural identity), then found an article describing that very thing, the modifying adjective was colloquially fitting. I parsed...

You've just described something like 20% of DDLC fanfics/view-only mods/cosplay skits. Which is a bit of a double subversion, considering how the game was perfectly wholesome with absolutely nothing going wrong at all, but that's the game's fandom for you.

Apparently, some people were using it to generate NFTs back when that was a thing. So you'd need some proof there, I guess....

Last page, I wrote: And now we have video of one man being multiply stepped upon at a convention. I'm not sure if this works in the bakery thread or here, but I had to share it nonetheless. Remember, no shaming! 🙃

DS9, like TNG, was in syndication, and therefore didn't have to worry about network ratings as TOS, Voyager and Enterprise did. But with Voyager serving as UPN's flagship show of sorts (at least at first -- UPN would be notorious for rebrands) and the Enterprise-D crew off to the movies every...

Some of these same people (whom I see a lot of on the Tube of You) also insist that There Can Be Only One Canonical ST Timeline, despite the fact that such hasn't been the case since "Mirror, Mirror" back in 1968. Speaking only for myself here.... I view Startrek.com as insisting that Discovery...

I had honestly thought, when that character was introduced, that he was a single-letter-named entity, like Q. Then, some months later, I saw the figure and how it was labeled, and thought, "oh, right, this is an American show...."

You and I both saw Game Theory's breakdown of just what's in the .chr files, so we know. And yet.... I mean, it might be amusing for someone to make a sequel where we have a slightly darker take on Supernatural Spouse sitcoms such as I Dream of Jeannie or Oh My Goddess!

Something something, recalibrate the primary sensor suite, something something tachyon pulse?
