Paulie the robot from Rocky 3

quote:

The story behind the robot’s involvement is even stranger. Designed, controlled and voiced by Robert Doornick, the founder of US company International Robotics, the robot has had a more successful acting career than many of his fellow cast-members. Known as Sico, it is the first non-human member of America’s Screen Actors Guild.

The robot has guest-starred in Days of Our Lives, entertained Ronald Reagan at a White House dinner, toured with James Brown, and shared an intimate moment with Carly Simon in the music video for her song, My New Boyfriend: Sico presents the singer with a bouquet of flowers, before carrying her away in its arms. Today, fans can buy their own, fully-functioning Sico online for around £240,000 (not including postage and packaging).

i dont get anything you posted but thank you for being sincere (hopefully)

lol but seriously I posted:

I thought all the holo people were more or less sentient. Probably the ship, too.

Why is "The Voyager" wrong or weird or whatever?

"The [Shipname]!" is pretty much how you say "Hey check it out, its that specific ship".

yeah in nemesis, which is the worst star trek movie, riker is like, computer, activate the manual steering column and this stupid logitech joystick rises out of a hutch. this doesn't happen on star trek again



the borg queen was this character they created for first contact which doesn't make any sense, the borg are supposed to be like perfect single-brained communist guys and then you have this bitch struttin around showing off her tits who is somehow the boss of a people whose point is they are their own boss, because they wanted sex appeal, it was terrrrible but i guess they brought her back in voyager despite the fact they killed her sooooooooo



back in the original series with kirk the warp scale was different so like, they went to warp 22 and poo poo when in the new scale warp 10 is infinitely fast, the asymptote of the warp curve if that makes sense



in ds9 for one episode everyone gets a holocommunicator on their bridges. it takes up like a whole stations worth of real estate on there and has a stupid glowing floor ring that lights up so when you chat they look like they're in the same room as you. it was real bad



ambo jitsu is this borderline racist, massively stupid martial art that riker and his dad do. you fight with giant cotton buds, blind. for some reason it never makes a comeback



in original series there used to be a bunch of different dudes, like a new one each episode, in charge of engineering, and no-one really had much of a part at all. shimoda was the best one because he got drunk but they were all very temporary



geordie gets the computer to create a sentient hologram based off of moriaty from sherlock holmes because of a bet. it doesn't go well



for like one episode the klingon worf was dating councillor troi. it wasn't a good fit, esp because she was riker's ex, but also because worf is kind of a fuckman



data gets an emotion chip from his dad that would help him feel emotions. he decides he's not ready to feel emotions, because that would completely destroy the point of his character, which is pinocchio



in like the first episode of voyager, tom says, "it's the Voyager!" which sounds totally wrong despite the fact that "the Enterprise" is totally fine



in that same first episode voyager gets lost in the delta quadrant so in the point of the show's continuity they never really see it again, it takes some weird time travel poo poo that was terrible to bring them home, and the whole show has just awful writing so its more like wishful thinking

when the ferengi were introduced in tng they were kind of lovely rat people that danced around like some stupid school play and had whips that they whipped at people to laser them rather than a gun. it was all really stupid and while the whips don't really show themselves again they wouldn't become unstupid until ds9



cardassian soldiers used to have weird head gear when they were first introduced. they were very terrible and unnecessary, they have a lot of poo poo going on already to make em look alien

for me it always made sense. Mario lives in a pretty safe universe when you think about it; his worst enemy is Bowser and you can mess him up just by swinging him around by his tail. The fire Bowser breathes is just a couple of milder flames that dance around so he's not exactly a Game of Thrones level dragon, he's more on the level of a dinosaur Muppet.

It makes sense that going for a refreshing swim would get Mario back to normal and ready to go hop around some some more. Heck, I bet even the standing water pools don't have any harmful bacteria in them, Mario's probably guzzling that stuff down.

the cardassians wearing football helmets everywhere makes sense actually, since cardassians are retarded and would otherwise bash their brains out on door frames or from falling over

while you're right, they were stupid as gently caress on tng, they did show quark's marauder mo action figure holding a whip during an episode of ds9, and on enterprise they fully brought back the whip as a really bad rear end weapon wielded by ethan phillps
