    Yeah I am gonna be honest, I am pretty much over this “trend” thing, the quality of memes has gone downhill. I’d prefer less memes of better quality than logging into Risa and having to figure out why some random side character is suddenly the punchline to every joke.

    Hell even my friend that doesn’t visit the site but I link them choice memes was immediately bored of the trends, and they only saw a small segment of what I felt were the best ones, and they’re the biggest Star Trek fan I know.

    Uh… you know he was a Canadian right?

    James Montgomery Doohan (/ˈduːən/; March 3, 1920 – July 20, 2005) was a Canadian actor and author, best known for his role as Montgomery “Scotty” Scott in the television and film series Star Trek. Doohan’s characterization of the Scottish chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise was one of the most recognizable elements in the Star Trek franchise, and inspired many fans to pursue careers in engineering and other technical fields.[1] He also made contributions behind the scenes, such as the initial development of the Klingon and Vulcan languages. Prior to his acting career, Doohan served in the 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division.

    I literally just told you, size. You can go look up the exact ship specifications if you want, the Raptor is a small scout ship, the BoP is a mid-size warship, and the Warbird is a full-sized warship.

    Also what are you even talking about, what came into canon first? Of course the Bird of Prey, its from ToS, I do not understand how that is relevant to the discussion.

    “Bird of Prey” is a classification of light warship used by both the Romulan and Klingon forces, the smaller version of a “Warbird” class ship.

    It is not culturally important to them, anymore than a “Galaxy Class” or “Class III Neutronic Carrier” would be to a human/federation race.
