The whovian in me screeches the toymaker came first, the trekker points out that while Q seems to have some peculiar moral purpose the Toymaker is just an eternal ancient who sets shit on fire for fun.

Also supernovas can harm Q IIRC. The Toymaker, not so much.

Solok, no contest. The others were various levels of asshat, solok was 1000% cunt

Plus then it frees up rosa for odo

And if you ask what freedoms are being impinged by asking them to wear a protective mask the brain implodes

But but but muh economies!

As an Australian, i’m a fan

In no particular order:

• i’m the X
• status report
• keep us connected
• I’m ready
• status report

I miss when we used to point and laugh at these cunce

Kinda already is. The Family (capitalised) is something you generally want to avoid.

Especially in Australia, rather infamous cult

It’s also an age thing - I mean every fandom has Those Fans, but in general being a fan of something and buying / wearing merch is now nbd. Nerd’s gone mainstream.

Back when those terms were coined? Sooo not the case. Like, it could literally get you beaten. Wild times.

…considering the term is nearly sixty years old i’d say no.

Edit: exposing myself as an olde farte but in fandom circles back in the day there was a sharp line between trekker and trekkie . Oooh you didn’t want to be seen as a trekkie, they were the fans that …well looking back at it, the trekkies were openly obsessed over the series and had all the fun cosplaying and being free about it, the trekkers were the ones that pretended they weren’t mad about trek and thus were allowed out into respectable society. Cringe factor i suppose. Heh. But old name habits remain.

Universal remote. I did that up for my husband’s grandma ‘just press this button and your show comes on’

And then after they’ve made a complete hash of it, usually messing it up beyond belief…demand you fix it.

Because classic trek - for all its reaching for the stars and left leanings - is still very much rooted in and reflects the US postwar mindset. We are the good guys! The best guys! We do no wrong! Which is a trough that right wingers like to feed at.

Eh class

Unfortunately the internet hellishly complements our copycat tendencies

I’ve seen that as well, it’s slowly growing. Unsurprisingly the correlation of ren faire goers and trekkers is high.

'Tis a pune

Yeah but by '87 the writing was definitely on the wall for the USSR

True matriarch of Duras.
