Yeah and I always remember Geordi being a hypocrite about it

Rebuild every set from the Lord of the Rings movies entirely using children's craft supplies.

Essentially the vibe we're going for here is a visual version of this:

I've had some weirdass dreams about ending up in a place like this

That would have been a killer holodeck episode ngl

(I wonder if holodecks bring up this same moral dilemma 🤔)

Saw this happen in microcosm with several of the Milwaukee area German clubs. The senior gen of leaders never took a single bit of advice or suggestions from anyone under 60 and refused to cede any position of influence. Then they turn around and ask "why can't we attract more young members??"

I think my biggest betrayal is that it feels like they have not nurtured upcoming generations. we've watched them cut the knees out from people who get the base excited instead of mentoring them, it's aggravating as fuck.

But that needs to happen starting when you're like, 60. Not 85.

I think mine was Daryl Hannah in My Favorite Martian, because I am noted for nothing if not my abominable taste in movies

Ro was my favorite TNG character so I always wished she could have appeared more :/

But PLEASE tell me more about your Gay Awakening Via Kira Nerys because I have yet to hear that story

Did you know that Ro was originally supposed to be The Bajoran Character but the actress refused to commit to an ongoing series

I'd love to see the universe where that went down differently

Oh goodness, this has brought up ancient memories of trying to do homework on the bus! 🤦‍♀️

Honestly we only ever had like 5 relatives so I think my mom had all their addresses memorized by the time I started kindergarten anyway

I read a lot of ebooks now because there's a limit on what foreign literature anyone's going to bother importing to China, and it gets *expensive* 😵 (you don't want to know what I paid to get my hands on Emily Wilson's Odyssey)

I always think of how poor dyslexic Claudia had to constantly hide away the one kind of story she could actually enjoy reading because her librarian mother didn't think Nancy Drew books were serious enough

There's also a decent chance that (depending on country of origin) many of those people couldn't read
