      “The arm left by the previous T-800 caused this mess and I noticed he’s missing an arm. Should I find it and toss that in, too? Nah, I’m sure it will be fine.”

      And that’s why the shitty sequels happened.

    My wife likes TNG and Lower Decks, I’m still easing her in to DS9 and Voy.

    The other day I showed her a picture of Picard wearing a yellow uniform, and she said “he’s wearing the wrong uniform. He’s command, not engineering.” before I could even ask her what was wrong with the Pic.

    I immediately yelled “YOU’RE FINALLY A NERD!” And shot a text to the family text group and our friend group to share the good news, everyone had a good chuckle, and she just goes “YOU MADE ME THIS WAY! Not that I’m complaining…”

    I have successfully made a convert. And yesterday she actually asked to watch more Voy before she even got home from work.

      It holds up really well, considering how old it is. You’d think the effects would look dated, but they’re still as cool as the day they came out.

      Sarah: “The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it for the first time with a sense of hope, because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.”

      Narrator: “We couldn’t.”

      I the Star Trek The Next Generation episode “Darmok and Jalad” we encounter the Tamarians, and they speak in metaphors.

      This is one metaphor that appears a couple times in the episode.

        Misunderstanding a cultural reference that refers to a culture that speaks only in cultural references that cause misunderstandings is delightful either way.

      The T-1000 in panel 3 can assume anyone’s form but does not gain their memories so Arnold asks it a question that the real mom would know about star trek 🤡
