    I so get you about why Stamets mattered. He was a fun recurring guest character on Star Trek Online too and had lots of spoken dialogue with the usual “funny yet depressed” vibes.

    What gets on my tits in a huge way are the outright ignoring of shit in lore.

    I’m old enough that I still groan when I hear percolating returns of the “DAE KIRK KILLED OR FUCKED EVERYTHING THAT MOVED” ultra-Flanderization brainworms of decades past.

        How much actual Those Old Scientists did those people watch? It’s hard for me to think of a single Klingon that Kirk actually killed with direct action on-screen in the original show, for example. warf-wtf

          Very little Im guessing. People are doing a lot of bitching with no basis lately. Generally why I ask for sources or examples now. Astounding how often it turns into “Oh I can’t think of any”.
