Anyone else have Ukrainian farmers come to mind?

Not that I’m suggesting mixing in a political war meme here, but that’s what popped up first for me.

Looking back at that, I think Roddenberry was lampshading the expected social discomfort expected in the audience when those words were put in Pike’s mouth. Regrettably, the rest audience reportedly still wasn’t willing to accept Number One.

It’s odd though given the prominent women characters in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea which was very popular a few years before.

But you missed Alison Pill!

Our very own very nice Canadian Borg Queen.

Agree. But Boimler should still be much taller than Bean.

Boims should be lean, and Bean short.

Animated television writers are in another guild, one that signed a new contract over a year ago. Neither the WGA or SAG-ACTRA strikes have impacted them.

The galaxy is NOT ready…

Let’s make sure the non Canadians aren’t misled. (And provide authentic images.)

This is what a tin of maple syrup from Quebec looks like.

Ontario also has a lot of sugar bush. Here’s what a standard jug looks like.

Where real syrup comes from…

With Spock as a child with his selát - yes that’s it. It got a lot of praise from child development experts and parents for dealing with the difficult topic of a pet’s death. It was a children’s show first.

That stack of pancakes in the meme has about 1/3 of what our kids would put on them. They should be drowning. Not to mention all over the beans, sausages eggs or whatever other sides.

For those you are uninitiated, in the maple syrup producing regions of Quebec and Ontario, we buy it by the case. 12 half litre cans each. Or 1 litre bottles.

It’s actually much healthier than corn syrup because it has a lot of dissolved mineral goodness that the trees pull out of the ground - calcium, zinc and iron.

When I first moved from the west, my housemate’s romantic interest showed up with a case and opined that we were sickly westerners because we weren’t consuming syrup all winter. I’ve come round.

It’s 70s Saturday morning animation in the trendy hot pink, orange, lime green and purple of the psychedelic era.

It’s got a lot of episodes written by TOS writers that got reworked from live action, but also some very out there original stuff. Roddenberry really pushed the writers to take advantage of the animated medium.

It’s trippy and worth your time. A couple of episodes, including Yesteryear, are S-tier.
