Well in this case I hope they can’t legally claim to not be fascist anymore.

I just want to hear Tuvok and Sulu discuss horticulture. The one thing they have in common.

This headline alone will satisfy a certain segment of fans.

Imagine having a conversation for an hour about passing around the candle (yes people made and brought candles), surprising McFadden with a stage performance in homage to “Sub Rosa”, that dovetailed into getting a inflatable candle costume and wether a hypothetical person with a collection of eyes counts as people watching the whole thing.

So is this part of Alpha canon?

🤷‍♂️ At the rate seasons have been getting produced with Kate, and formerly Glenn and Rob doing other shows since 2021, you have two years to catch up. Seasons have been two years apart as of season 15.

The TV show CSI would say otherwise about that.

This wasn’t even a Presidential Address broadcast live, right? That alone should tell you what this whole thing means to them.

There is a big difference between. Most people who aren’t actively engaged in this type of discourse like you and I, or don’t pay meticulous attention to conservative media outlets, likely don’t know who Kirk is, let alone care.

MLK Jr. got historically important exposure on television with the broadcast of the March on Washington, D.C. This was one of the first civil rights events to be televised. When you have a new medium to disseminate news that for the first time gives you not just the voice but the image of the people involved, I think that has a huge impact. Prior to this, MLK Jr. was a highly respected religious leader.

Most people today, would probably have to seek out non-governmental sides of political discourse, to even know who Kirk is. I have no doubt your average conservative that watches Fox News has been exposed to Kirk, but they likely won’t recall any talking points. He wasn’t in an elected office. Today, that would probably be the only reason any lay person would listen to them.

Someone probably equates the political nature and him being white to what happened to MLK Jr.

I kept thinking of “The Reckoning” the entire episode.

Okay, thank you for mentioning that. I was unaware he was from Puerto Rico.

Honestly, depending on your ethnicity or where you live, touring as a musician in the U.S. these days seems difficult because of that for you and your fans. I don’t get why anyone overseas would want to tour in the U.S. right now.

This action figure looks less like Robert Duncan McNeill and more like Matt Damon.

Boimler was freaking out because he knows that voice so well.

EDIT: I’d been 11 hours since I posted this. Scott Frakes isn’t a real person. Jonathan doesn’t have a twin brother. His middle name is Scott. This is a long running joke from Mission Log podcast. Whenever Thomas Riker was in an episode or they mentioned him, they would pretend he was played by a person named Scott Frakes, the imaginary twin brother of Jonathan Frakes.
