When it comes to the Internet, Star Trek is the gift that keeps on giving, whether it's the Picard facepalm meme, KHAAAAN!!!, It's a Fake!, or what have you. To one artist in particular, Star Trek has been a gold-pressed latinum mine, inspiring an entire comic strip about "crappy jobs, space travel, and ennui."

curated meme by Jenna7 in two panels with a scene from Star Trek Voyager; first panel is Chakotay in the bridge, with caption: Tuvok! I'm surprised at you! second panel is Tuvok at his station doing his "bitch please" face, with caption: Commander, in the short time I have known you, you have allowed into your ranks: A Starfleet spy, A Cardassian spy, A dangerous brainwashing ideologue. Therefore, I feel it is safe to conclude: Everything surprises you.

original meme in two side-by-side panels, using images from Star Trek TNG; the left panel is Data in yellow Starfleet uniform and his typical innocent curious look, with label: Positronic; the right panel is Lore in his black body armor from "Descent" giving a patronizing smile, with italicized label: Negatronic

hey chat, should I start a youtube?

Can't you post them to YouTube and embed the YouTube link to Bluesky?

Earl Grey: 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 @earlgreymemes.club · 1d

and it's only a configuration change!
there's literally just some yaml ass config file somewhere in Bluesky that's like

maxVideoDurationMillis: 180000

but changing that to 3600000 would require more storage per VC, which is obviously a Business decision that requires Business approval

"Worst Case Scenario" is pure cinema, easily a top 10 episode of the series, playing on the Maquis conflict deep into the third season and bringing back Seska, hitting on that Voyager tendency of playing with alt realities, and foreshadowing the later season plots about holonovel authorship

"Distant Origin" barely even features the main cast, and the worst part of the episode is easily the 10 minutes or so where it tries to be a Chakotay episode. They even bring back Ensign Hogan (who says this show doesn't have continuity?)

absolute classic Star Trek Voyager

Bluesky could be adding support for 5+ min videos right now but instead they're uhhh *gestures vaguely at whatever is happening on this website*

Earl Grey: 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 @earlgreymemes.club · 7d

had a great idea for a video series on the No Context account "Every Star Trek Voyager Teaser In Order" where I would post two per week or something like that, but first Bluesky needs to support 5+ minute videos

I understand the need for a break, but i still miss @nocontexttrek1.bsky.social a lot. Wherever they are, I'm sure they're full-throat screaming in someone's face and ejecting a warp core...

TNG; "Dark Page"; a handsome alien man with bulgy brainy skull and no hair just above his ears, bit of an Ortegas cut, with caption: You need a husband.

a second frame from the same scene; Deanna is wearing pink casual wear with one shoulder bared, and we can tell she's in Ten Forward, giving a cringing look as if to say, whut?

It also has Tom and Tuvok arguing about how to author a holonovel with Neelix trying to chime in, which has to be one of the greatest ever scenes in Voyager

"Displaced" is just average Star Trek, but still a bright spot in this season

The guest acting is solid, the setup nicely satirizes Voyager's tendency for nonsense technobabble physics, the noncarcereal resolution is satisfying, and the holo space prison is a recurring theme in the show

I still think the third season of Voyager is probably the worst season overall, but it does end with three great episodes (dare I say bangers) before Scorpion

23. Distant Origin
Apr 30, 1997

24. Displaced
May 7, 1997

25. Worst Case Scenario
May 14, 1997

26. Scorpion Part 1
May 21, 1997

now I'm thinking about how my first posting anniversary was on election day and how I decided to delay the celebration by a week just on the off-chance that Trump would win

Earl Grey: 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 @earlgreymemes.club · 1d

remember before Trump was elected how this was probably still true? 🤔

I kinda feel bad copy/pasting this much right wing garbage onto another platform and ideally these would be screenshots with a big red X through it or something, but I figured the risk of things being misconstrued or actually being re-weaponized as right wing propaganda on here is pretty low

I posted this to my Facebook and it got shared by a page with very large reach, so of course the conservative fans have crawled out of their holes to confirm exactly how they don't understand Star Trek (or much of anything, really)

Here's a thread of some of the funniest ones...

Mr. Gandalf B. Naturals @voidfemme.bsky.social · Oct 3

Two stills in the harbor from the movie A Fish Called Wanda. Kevin Kline's character says "Conservatives don't watch Star Trek" and Jamie Lee Curtis's character yells back "Yes they do Otto, they just don't understand it!"

awhile back I did a thread of #ConservativeTrek takes and most of them are like this ⬇️

They love that it's science fiction because it means they can dismiss all the political stuff as being fantastical.

Earl Grey: 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 @earlgreymemes.club · Oct 5

Oh, I understand it. I’m just grateful it’s a fantasy I can enjoy and nothing more.

Triangle diagram of different responses to the prompt: "Bring the D to the party". T'pol is at one extreme, labeled "brings Trellium-D". Riker is at another extreme, labeled "brings himself". Picard is at the other extreme, labeled "brings the Enterprise".

I know this is a beloved quote, but this is why I can't vibe with it

Firstly, a logical construction isn't necessarily valid, it might just be a straight up fallacy like this post ⬇️ (brains can hurt, and brains can be represented by bits, therefore anything that can be represented by bits can hurt)
