Saw “Bridge City" and then read your description of them and thought, “I’m willing to bet they’re from Portland.” Checked out their web page and yup, of course they are! Dammit, I love Portland!

Same! Even though I’m not excited about this timeframe in the Trek universe, I just became exponentially more excited knowing she’s involved.

It reminded me, very randomly, of quote from a book about urban design and how architectural ideas are introduced and accepted by the public… or not.

From this the “principle of the second man” can be formulated: it is the second man who determines whether the creation of the first man will be carried forward or destroyed…

It was a golden chance and a room full of cowards let it slip.

The book is Design of Cities by Edmund Bacon for anyone interested.

Same here! This morning’s hangover, as just one example, 100% attributable to Covid! Definitely not the decision to have highballs #5-8 last night.

Trigger discipline is perfect if she’s about to take the kill shot. 😎

There he is! Hey, big shooter!

Right? A Real Genius quote in the wild just made my day!

It’s a reference to an X-Files episode, one of the few where they swapped out the ‘Trust No One’ text in the opening credits.

BUT… I like the way you think!

Deceive. Inveigle. Obfuscate.

(That’s a deep cut, wonder if anyone got it.)

Badowm badowm badowm boooooowm!

Do you want Shai’halud? Because this is how you get Shai’halud.

I watched it recently and it’s shocking how well it’s held up. Aside from the fashion, it feels like it could have been made last year.

Damn I just randomly selected a Voyager ep last night and it was the one where he was a Hirogen hunting a stranded Species 8472. Then I see this today. 😢

Even in full makeup and under a mask it was unmistakenly him, the man was a goddamn imposing presence. You will be missed, sir! 🫡

Snowy has the right idea in this picture.

“Pewma! PEWMA Man!”

And XMB was their last good interface design. Each one since just gets progressively more wtf.

This thumbnail looks like it’s from an episode of the original V miniseries.

Brannon Braga in the thumbnail rocking those Pollux Troy from Face/Off vibes.

“Did you get jacked?”

Nooooo, was just watching Future Imperfect with a friend the other day and when she showed up I was like, “Yaaaay, Nurse Ogawa!” and then found out while cehcking Memory Alpha afterwards that that ep was actually her first appearance. For a character with so little screentime, I always really liked her and wish we’d seen more of her. RIP Patti, we’ll raise a glass in Ten Forward to ye!
