I love when I'm watching scifi and the doctors or scientists or whatever argue about each other's technobabble like No quantum beams won't work. You fool. You fucking idiot. As the audience I wasn't even gonna question it like damn my bad... I thought quantum beams might work
See, I actually really like the take that alien characters on Deep Space Nine (and also Discovery's first season) have that the Federation are basically like a sort of insidious, outwardly friendly, slow-motion version of the Borg Collective. I absolutely agree that it makes sense for certain outsiders to perceive them that way. But I also think that it's clearly not actually true; Earth is still Earth; Vulcan is still Vulcan; I assume that the other Federation world's would still be recognizably themselves if we had actually enough before-and-after data to compare them. You don't lose your culture just because it's only one of many.
J.J. Abrams really didn't even bother planning out his Star Wars trilogy but went around telling the cast "understand the scale. This is not a role in a movie. This is a religion for people. It changes things on a level that is inconceivable" and stressing out Daisy Ridley so much with expectations she developed ulcers. God he sucks ass
Last night had a nightmare that i was being bullied by a popular blogger on tumblr but he lived on my dash physically and his username was dark-wil-wheaton, which appeared over his head like it would in minecraft. He had the colour scheme of a subspace army character from Super Smash Bros Brawl and he would follow me around my dash scoffing and taunt me as I blogged. Visual reconstruction below.
