Wasn't it five reforms yesterday?

So he's already caved on two.

He needs to GTFO

BTW a tooth gem is cooler than an old clay pot with mould growing in it.

Lwaxana got a bum deal.

Yes, but if Tarima is the "Daughter of the First House" maybe there wasn't a woman to take charge in the generation before.

He certainly deferred to her when making some of his decisions, she could be the heir apparent.

Even in a patriarchy you occasionally get a Queen Regnant.

Moderate? Are you having a laugh?
January 28, 2026 at 11:09 AM
That's the most disturbing thing I've read today.

No thank you.

All I want to know is how to disable and block that shite.

I'm not even convinced he loves his own family, let alone anyone else's.

He only loves himself.

I can't remember if I watched it or not, (I think I probably did but it's a bit of a blur back then) but I certainly remember laughing out loud at the trailer whenever it popped up on rental VHS tapes.

Maybe his daughter wearing a telepathic inhibitor we still don't know much about is a factor in them not communicating via telepathy.

Plus, given there was a planet behind the wall whose name wasn't recognised until looked up I don't think Betazoids are the only species behind the wall.

I dunno, it being fatphobic, sexist, anti-Semitic, derivative drek that shames a character for wanting to end slavery, written by a transphobe who is bankrolling lawfare to remove rights from a minority could be a factor.

I have a lot of issues with Wesley, especially his leapfrogging over qualified officers for a bridge post.

My feeling, people are comparing it with Dawson's Creek and Hogwarts (they really should read other books IMO)

I see it more like Police Academy, and I'm enjoying it so far.

I've had 2 of those for an ENT appointment.

It's ridiculous.

over a century prior to this it makes sense that they got on with heading down a career path before applying now.

And with that gap, all but one character so far have no idea what the previous academy was like and we don't know what it evolved into before it shut down.
January 26, 2026 at 9:56 AM
Wasn't that true of the previous depictions of the Academy though?

We saw Wesley, already having saved the ship multiple times fail to get in on his first try.

McCoy join as a divorced doctor in ST 2009 and it seems like Troi was already a psychologist before attending.

With no academy for

If you're referring to Caleb Mir, he's 21

The only other character with a stated age as far as I recall is photonic and 4 months old.

You're assuming they're all supposed to be teenagers based on the AI summary for minimum and usual entry age for humans.

How many of them are human?

Starfleet Academy isn't, nor was it ever a high school

Even irritating genius Wesley Crusher who saved the ship multiple times before his entry exam failed first try

Troi was already working as a qualified psychologist before she applied and in the 2009 movie McCoy turned up as a divorced doctor

I'm guessing they never read all the stories I did as a kid in the 70's & 80's where the Princess bobs her hair to disguise herself as a page boy or squire.

Is that one of the penguins from the island Trump tariffed?

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.

They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”
