The real Samuel Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) appeared in TNG: “Time’s Arrow”.

I’m pretty sure an actor appeared in Time’s Arrow

Well I’ll be damned, the first part is real, at least: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Headgear

It probably boils down to Boimler being a sad sack who still isn’t confident enough to stand up for himself.

Scary Door

Hmmm, I wasn’t quite sure about the Futurama reference at first because Bone Vampires/Moopsies aren’t exactly unique types of legendary creatures, but then Ransom said “Turns out humans are the most dangerous” which is a straight up lift from the Scary Door.

Genuinely curious here… what about the concerns of nuclear waste? My understanding of it is based on the Simpsons so ELI5 how modern tech resolves the waste issues?

It’s an infographic for children…? I think it’s meant to be simple.

I’m sure 18+ people should already have a more nuanced view of what those words mean. And if they don’t I’m sure there are other materials they can peruse to help them understand.

Same! The only thing missing was a cigar in his hands!

My partner describes it as like TNG with the weak episodes taken out. They’re great, good, or neutral.

I think it’s not just because Una pointed out there was crew down there but specifically told Spock they had to (should) stay close. He took it literally as a command whereas he really should have evaluated it for himself.

The way I read the scene was that he was so high off his power that he thought with the tables turned and Pike having no power that he would have the upper hand. But Pike managed to subdue him and High Lord Zacarias was all of a sudden staring down the barrel of a phaser rifle and all of a sudden wasn’t so confident that the Pike he knew, who would lower the weapon once the combatant was subdued, was still there. I think the sudden switch was just an “OH shit, what have I done?” moment.

I don’t know how to express that I’m shrieking like a teeny bopper from the late 90s for this via text, but just imagine that’s what I was doing for a full minute and 57 seconds!!!
