I’ve had it up to here with these missing wigs!

I…have had…enough…of YOU!!

Yeah, oof indeed

Ass:The Final Frontier

She’s loaded with meat! She’s got more meat than a cow!

Leela: Space bandidos have been operating in this quadrant so you’ll each take 8-hour shifts guarding the safe. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Wait, hold on. I don’t like the sound of that. Let’s just go alphabetically

Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Wait, let’s go by rank.

Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Flexo outranks me?

Flexo: That’s “Flexo outranks me, sir”!

Pretty gutted at this news, but as others have pointed out, this move may cement LD as a classic without outstaying their welcome. And hopefully there is a desire for more animated Trek now

Enjoyed his interview on Jimmy Kimmel. He reenacts his death scene and frankly it’s quite better

Interesting, thanks!

I haven’t watched Discovery past episode 6 or 7 of season 1 (after the klingon sex scene, I tapped out) . I take it they’re 1000 years in the future now, and that’s when this series takes place?

If so, oof, it will be hard to identify with a millenium of progress, unless they pull a Futurama and have everything rebuilt a few hundred years in (after the second coming of Jesus of course). Why not go back to the Harve Bennett-era academy series for inspiration? Or set it after Nemesis?

The only redeeming grace for me so far is having Tawny Newsome (or is it Trondy Newman?) in the writers room. She is an absolute delight

Arguably they were still figuring out the tone, and how to revive a 20 year old franchise while not retreading the past. Not claiming there aren’t some duds, but later 90s Trek benefited from TNG cracking the “formula” and sticking to it.

Compare a modern spiritual successor to TNG like The Orville, which, despite a rocky premiere, just crushed it within 5-6 episodes, and kept crushing it, because they didn’t have to put so much legwork into defining the tone of the show.

The Orville… Still the best Trek of the modern era.

I never noticed that! Amazing

Hermes?

The captain kirk finger puppet is the stuff of nightmares

Thanks, didn’t know that

I thought I read that voice actors joined the SAG strike, so that complicated things

Writers strike likely affected scripts…

Not to mention SAG-AFTRA strike still ongoing…

So I imagine it will push back season 5 by some months, possibly til 2025

Thank you so much for doing these all season! Really great to have all the callbacks and lore in one place

what’s. Up. JERRRKKSS!

Avoided it for the longest time, thought it was a kids show (Had been burned by the clone wars cartoon). HOLY CRAP, was it pure unadultered trek. Find it and binge, my friend

These are already over priced, but what I wouldn’t do for the 1701 signed by the captain himself

Aww, somebody like snouts

Is it me?
