Culluh Is ‘90s hair style.

This is specifically a homage to the X-Men swimsuit special. It would be only appropriate.

We have to assume this was after the reforms Zek enacted took affect.

This is why Ronnie Cox returned for Prodigy.

When it is used as a verb, that word can only imply meaning related those with intellectual disabilities. It isn’t acceptable to say that. However there are scientific and musical terms that feature the word or use “retardation” to describe something.

Does he know what a recession is? Genuinely asking. That would help understand this response.

I’m not going to tell folks to rewatch the first two X-Men movies, but I’m fairly certain you can piece that together from the cultural osmosis of that series. The opening scene of the first movie clearly states Poland and it is clearly identified as a concentration camp.

Plus I’m fairly certain it was also revisited in First Class.

EDIT: Don’t rewatch X-Men or X2 because of Bryan Singer.

EDIT 2: Singer has had multiple lawsuits and allegations thrown at him for sexual abuse, most notably of children.

Apt Pupil - Don’t Watch the Movie and Better Skip the Stephen King NovellaThe movie Apt Pupil is where these specific allegations come from. To make it worse, that is an adaption of a Stephen King novella about a teenager who blackmails a Nazi solider that worked in a concentration camp into telling him stories about the war. I of course never watched the movie but I read the novella (part of Different Seasons). The striking part is the teenage boy has explicit dreams about raping girls who are imprisoned in the concentration camps. Yes, you read that right. A character fantasizes about raping Jewish girls.

Or they got it very accurate? 🤷

That sounds like what could happen.

EDIT: I’m not saying we have to do exactly that. It just seems like the way Trump supports Putin feels like he would do this.

Well it was already pretty bad when the U.S. flag became a co-opted symbol for hate.

Uh… I regret this.

Little Saddie… in the ass.

A related tangent: Ghost Recon had a plot about Russia invading Georgia in 2008. That game was from 2001.

I thought these were cigarettes at first glance.

Chris Fenoglio, artist who worked on the Lower Decks ongoing comic book series, recreated the iconic pin-up of X-Men in swimsuits for the Lower Decks crew. Even some non-crew got featured (to fully recreate every detail of the original).

 

If they actually assimilated exocomps, Peanut Hamper would be the first person to get kicked out of the Collective.

 

Sorry for the screenshot. The announcement was a Facebook Reels post. No individual images. It is the same magnetic style as the badges Fansets are well known for. No information if STLV will be the launch of this product or a limited release just for STLV this year. Hope I can get one.

UPDATE: According to a comment on the post, this will become available on the website after STLV. So look for it after August 10.

 
 
 
 

If you haven’t watched all of Picard, “All Good Things…” (TNG season 7 episode 25) and “Endgame” (VOY season 7 episode 25), please be advised there are major spoilers.

This may come down to a personal interpretation: did the events of “All Good Things…” ever exist? There is one reason I ask this: the false positive diagnosis of irumodic syndrome. The way I see it, the events of that episode are rendered non-existent.

Jean-Luc assumes prior to his death in season 1 of Picard that his illness was irumodic syndrome. However, it is never specified in that season that he has the illness. In season 3 Jack Crusher is diagnosed with it and assumed inherited. However by the end we learn it was a condition related to his time as Locutus of Borg.

In VOY, the future timeline with Admiral Janeway appears to be connected to the anti-timeline future from “All Good Things…”. The Admiral wearing the same uniform and badge. However the big difference is that the present day Prime Voyager is aided by future technology. We do not see the influence of Admiral Janeway get reversed, only the events of her future.

So did the events of “All Good Things…” actually occur or did the temporal incursion being fixed rendered it non-existent? After all, Q was testing Jean-Luc. Only Jean-Luc had memory of what happened. Sub-question: did Jean-Luc actually have a correctly diagnosed irumodic syndrome in the anti-timeline future?

For those unaware, Garrett Wang has discussed many times that on his way to his Voyager audition, he almost ran over Harrison Ford at Paramount Studios.

Dirty Laundry is a game show on Dropout where guest (mainly comedians) drink cocktails and guess each other’s secrets.

EDIT: Just to be clear, this wasn’t Garrett, and that isn’t a secret. And no one brings that up.

New Key West Tourism Ad (startrek.website)

Heard a tourism ad for Key West, Florida which has the line “There’s only one road into Key West[…]” on The D-Con Chamber podcast. This is where my mind went.
