Troi in the background smiling in the bottom panel just makes it so much better.

Unrelated Sidenote: The music from Subspace Rhapsody is on Spotify. Just saying.

      It took me way too goddamn long to realize that stood for Married with Children.

      However I completely agree. God that would be good.

    This is beautiful. I feel silly it took me a couple reads. Then in a flash I saw Picard elbowing Data out of the way to mash the fire button like a kid playing Tekken for the first time. Desperate shots go wide, there’s a heavy sigh as realization sets in…he stands up straight, smooths his uniform, “Onscreen.”

      Here I am just singing along to the Subspace Rhapsody soundtrack and I have to pause it due to laughing so hard at your comment. A very vivid picture of what you described popped into my head and I love it.

    Back when Star Trek aimed to portray a large varied world in which all sorts of characters and storylines can exist.

    Enjoy your on the nose Jan 6/transgender metaphors, Nutrek fans. You deserve it.

      Star Trek still is aimed to portray a large varied world in which all sorts of characters and storylines can exist. It’s just not the storylines you like.

      Also your second line really displays the type of person you are. And that type of person? Not someone worth ever giving the light of day again. Bye. I’ve got better things to do than sit around and wallow in misery and hatred.

          Says the guy whining about Star Trek not being conservative enough for you

          You do know where Star Trek has always fallen on the political spectrum, right?

      So… are you saying now they DON’T portray diversity? I’m trying to wrap my head around this but it doesn’t seem to make sense (like most of you people’s arguments TBH)
