As an original Trekker who grew up watching the original series (reruns) as a young kid and saw all the movies in the cinema theatre, then enjoyed TNG, DS9, and Voyager, it pains me to see what Paramount has done to the franchise. Sexual perversions, beloved characters now using the f-word, and non-sensical story lines were too much to bear. I had to ditch Discovery after the first season, and am now ditching Picard. I’m no longer interested in anything Star Trek, including the next throw-back nostalgic series purportedly coming out soon.
The magic is gone. Just like what happened to Star Wars. And Disney. And the Muppets. And…
Haz,
Have to agree regarding Discovery and * shudder* Picard.
…but…
I watched both seasons of Lower Decks ( Star Trek Animated Series) and found the tongue-in-cheek pokes at all the earlier series funny as heck! Many of the stories are direct rip-offs of earlier series with a twist.
Looking forward to Season 3.
I’ve been saying for a while now that the second rule of gunfighting is don’t wear hunter orange or hi-viz green. Red’s probably not a good idea either.
Red and brown would be good in an urban environment.
At least he’s not wearing a photog vest. As Ayoob would say- “shoot the guy in the vest first”.
Sweeping the house can be dangerous, especially when doing so alone, on the stairs, in the dark. You could trip, fall, and acquire a broomstick enema.
Always sweep the stairs with the lights on.
Speaking of house cleaning, I had two of the five rooms on our second floor under construction, as well as the back enclosed porch. That meant the guest room on the 2nd floor became a storage closet.
During this time I had also been building my ammo inventory. As the shipments arrived, I tossed them on the guest bed because I could not get to my ammo closet. One day my wife confronts me: “The guest room is a disaster, I cannot even walk through it. There is ammo all over the bed!!!”. To which I replied “How can ammo on the bed prevent you from walking through the room?”
Wrong answer.
Guess what I spent the afternoon doing.
“Guess what I spent the afternoon doing.”
“Yes, dearest…” 🙂
Geoff………….,
Exactly so!
I’ll go out on a limb and say the answer is not “shooting all the ammo you had on the guest bed”?
She said sweep the house not the perimeter you dunce! Who’s in the closet?
If women want equality, they can start by performing a full security sweep, followed by bringing you a refreshing beverage in your favorite chair.
(I can dream, can’t I? 🙁 )
Geoff……………..,
Dreams are good for you, especially when you have good dreams!!
Hmmm,
I hope the misses has a sense of humor Geoff! 😄
I’ll sweep the house. Although my better half might get upset if I use the leaf blower.
You know that they make leaf blowers that aren’t 2 stroke gas powered, right?
I have one. Sounds just like tinnitus on steroids.
My wife asked why I wear a gun at home. I told her “Decepticons”.
She laughed, I laughed, the toaster laughed. I shot the toaster.
That right there was funny.
Toaster decepticons were the only thing that RIP ammo was ever good for.
Lol. Yup.
Were there Cylons too?
If so I am screwed as even the CA legal Beretta CX4 is a legal grey area. Frack Coumo and frack Hochul too, so say we all.
I never liked the 2004 re-make. Gimme the original Adama, Starbuck, and Apollo. And the little robot doggie.
Haz you are showing your age. I know because apparently I am about the same age 😉
Grew up with the original but would need to see it again for any comparison. Either series (from what I do remember) does capture the man made horrors beyond our comprehension that we have been rolling out.
I laughed,..although I didn’t follow the movies, I get it.
Stealing that! Good one.
O GOD NOT THE TOASTER ANY THING BUT THA TOASTER
YEEAAAA THAT WAS FUNNY STATMENT
THANKS FOR THA HUMOR
She mad because the “perimeter” is not the house, the house is inside the perimeter.
Red Shirt.
Not good.
The Brown Coats lost.
Gotta like a Firefly reference.
And a Trek one before that
