if they ever do an oral history of the development of that series, it will be a juicy read.

I agree. I've never been interested in meeting any of the cast of any of the shows, buuut if I got the chance to meet any of them I would absolutely choose disco so I can ask how it went down.

It's just the same story, Netflix picked it up then declined to renew.

Their process ignores gems like Scavenger's Reign and workhorses like Prodigy in favor of, I dunno, bean counting?

... the removal of the hair, having done hairless Klingons with J.J.’s films. So I’d personally already gone through the Internet backlash, and so when Bryan said, ‘Yeah, we’re going to do bald Klingons, like it’s gonna be tricky, man.’ And so everyone was salting the broth.

Sometimes you just gotta keep making the same mistake until you learn. At least this guy is humble and practical about it.

Fine, I'll use a sword. I've already failed at magic enough times I may as well forget about it.

Holy shit I can just cut these fuckers down. Why was I wasting blue bar on Glintstone Pebble when I could have been using Square Up.

Lordsworn's Longsword, u my only friend.

Yeah really fun premise slathered in boring characters.

If I recall it devolved into some CW-flavor bullshit revolving around the girl, who is her real father, why is she special. Blah blah blah.

I love seeing Picards priorities on full display.

Picard walking Beverly to beam down to her lover:

You go girl!

Picard receiving Beverly's resignation:

Umm nobody leaves me. Data, find me everything you can on Ronin.

My humble contribution, Kai Winn

For Archer I can also imagine:

Rod Stewart's "Faith of the Heart"

Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping"

Katy Perry's "Roar"

For Janeway the only song that comes to mind is Rage's "Killing in the Name of" because fuck you she won't do what you tell her.

RIP Escapist Magazine

This reminds of a scene from a movie I recently saw.

The “founder” of McDonalds hyping up fake powder milkshakes for franchisees so they don’t have to spend money on real ice cream.

The enshittification marches on.
