to be fair to the pakleds, they didn't really destroy the solvang. it looks like the decision to warp after they grabbed a nacelle destroyed the ship

Beeftweeter posted:to be fair to the pakleds, they didn't really destroy the solvang. it looks like the decision to warp after they grabbed a nacelle destroyed the ship It seems more like it was the fact that it crushed right as they jumped - when Cerritos gets latched, Ransom orders a warp too, so maybe they were expecting it would just rip the grapple off. Either way, the Solvang was defeated already. Cerritos gets caught in the same situation but Freeman realises what must have happened to the Solvang and cancels the warp order, and they end up like this instead:  And are immediately pulled in and they begin cutting the ship up into pieces. Only made it out with a hail mary plan, suicide mission, and the fortunate intervention of the Titan at the last minute. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Jul 30, 2023 |

I love how when the Pakled ship comes out of warp it sheds a ton of debris.

YouTube and other sites like it basically do everything in their power to ensure accounts like that get high visibility and monetization because they drive engagement overall, so if you’re already a piece of poo poo in private it’s kind of a no-brainer to make it public online and get paid for it.

I don't even think the captain knew they'd been grappled at that point, just that they'd taken another hit.

Up The Long Ladder: RIDDLE-DEE-DEE, HERE'S DE 'TING, SWAYT MERCY, MAGGAAAAY, WE GUT A HORT MAAN HURRR etc. I'd imagine Colm Meaney was loving livid with this nonsense. And the worst thing is, it feels like spinning wheels for 25 minutes before the actual plot with the clones kicks in and that's... That's also loving terrible. Rather than doing a shipwide poll or anything, Picard and Riker (who is especially pissy and self important here) just decide "Nope, not helping, I reckon the entire crew would agree". Are you JOKING? I'd let myself be cloned, that'd be sick. And then that ending, which was... Certainly a thing! If there's a bright spot in it, it is surprisingly Pulaski and Worf's stuff, which quickly gets left by the wayside once ORRR NORRR, ME CHICKUNS kicks in.

I've picked some stupid internet handles over the years, present one included, but I would fold myself over backwards the wrong way and FedEx myself directly to the surface of Venus if I ever for a second considering picking a handle like TheVengefulDork or Nerdgasmic or The Interrogative Drunkard. Especially because like basically all of the people in that picture, Matalas included are basically just "What if The Nostalgia Critic was hella racist?"

I mean people failing upward in Starfleet or facing basically zero consequences for failure is the most realistic part of Star Trek so far, so I totally buy that Starfleet just gave her a pristine new California-class because her last one was a no-fault insurance write off.

Starfleet Insurance probably has an entire division dedicated entirely to Kirk. The 'Ripped Shirt' desk alone had steady work for years.

The sheer amount of paperwork required for the "lost shuttlecraft" claims across all of Starfleet was enough to strain even the planetary-scale document printers of Xeroxia III.

Please note that shuttles acquired from non-Federation powers are not eligible for reimbursement upon destruction. Accounting of expended photon torpedoes still makes no sense, and the Fraud team is getting suspicious. Please resubmit ASAP. All Borg-related claims are hereby denied on the grounds that it was always you antagonizing them. Our curiosity regarding what the hell you were thinking is sadly beyond the scope of this process."

They just rubberstamped all the paperwork and kicked her upstairs rather than litigate any of it. Picard at least had to total TWO Enterprises before he got his stars.

So let me get this straight, you are claiming your 190,000 metric tonne starship was stolen and destroyed by joyriders? And it was taken from inside your own spacedock?

I just watched "Statistical Probabilities" and uhh that episode sure did make some choices in how it portrayed its neurodivergent characters. Like Rain Man Jake was pretty loving annoying, but the one woman's flaw that required her to be in an institution was that she was slutty? That got an actual what the gently caress out of me. You gotta tell me the whole story on that because these people were supposed to be locked up for their own safety. Bashir even has the line saying it's not actually illegal to be modified, it just prohibits you from being in certain roles (getting the procedure done is illegal as we saw with his father). So was she luring men to their dooms or something because this is a ridiculously horny series to begin with so I can't imagine that she was doing anything bad enough to warrant being kept in an institution just based on what we saw.

Yeah the Memory Alpha article says her problem is being delusional and believing everyone is obsessed with her, not just being horny. The actress mentions trying to play her with a bit of a Hannibal Lector vibe.
