"Commander, why are people calling me Juice?"

"It's a nickname used by an old Earth athlete."

Funny thing, rather than Trek, the mention of Yours Truly makes me think of a different [FF to 33:33] Science Fiction franchise.
 
>be me
>still stuck as both Gunny and acting 1SG on Qualor II, hating life and my choices therein
>turns out 1SG Harkonnen is well-connected and the Zakdorn are pissed at yours truly
>CPT under immense pressure to replace me with another Zakdorn
>CPT constantly putting me in for commendations so he can go "see? this guy is great! please don't send me another incompetent 1SG or make me get rid of my good NCO"
>eventually Zakdorn have a giant tantrum, threaten to file a formal protest with the Federation Council if they don't get their way
>Starfleet forces our fucking MG to clean up the mess
>MG sends COL who sends LTC to CPT who informs me that I'm being reassigned
>the transfer looks routine on paper since I didn't break any regulations but I know I'm fucked
>I don't even get a going-away shindig
>sent to Starbase 39 to receive my new assignment/punishment
>spend the whole trip in a shitty fucking mood, my career is coming to an end and I know it, I contemplate what the fuck I'm gonna do
>maybe sign on as a merchant marine with the Nyberrite Alliance or some shit, idfk
>worst of all, CPT already sending me messages that new Zakdorn 1SG is worse than 1SG Harkonnen and is vindictive to boot
>arrive at starbase, on my way to depot to get fucked in the ass when a familiar face approaches me in the crowd
>it's 1LT Love Slave
>she's CPT Love Slave now
>what the fuck is she doing here?
>she got selected to lead new Raider team when she heard about my trouble with the Zakdorn
>"I heard you defeated 1SG Harkonnen at Strategema, that is very impressive."
>explain how I won, she smirks for a second
>but only for a second
>she says she needs more people for her team and requested I be assigned to her since I was getting reassigned anyway
>top brass said cool, whatever, just make the Zakdorn stop bitching
>my reassignment is to fucking special forces
>totally flabbergasted, tell her I have zero combat experience
>she gives me those fuck-me eyes again
>"By the time I'm through with you, you will have more than enough."
>lose my spaghetti
>I get sent back to Earth for training at Camp Lejeune

even at warp 9, it takes 3 fucking weeks to go from Starbase 39 to Earth

I just finished episode 11 of ST:Enterprise. Was the introduction of time travel controversial in the series?
Bro, when ENT dropped a holodeck in episode two, it stirred up some heat.

Fans weren’t nearly as autistic as Braga made us out to be. We’d already gotten our fill of holograms and time travel and were just bracing for this new show to repeat those mistakes.

yeah it was a weird ride as ENT was happening
I dropped it about six or seven eps in, and then picked it back up when Grandpa Soong showed up, then caught back up quickly
the whole "zomg the new doctor who should team up with the trek that's balls-deep in time-travel shit" was absolutely organic and not just BBC and Paramount dipping their toes into the water, it was a very natural idea (and would have been a nice passing of the baton)
 
actually no, now that I think about it I can EXACTLY recall when I dropped Ent, it was the one where Hoshi was on that planet with that guy and online bantz were like "lol doctor without a tardis wants a companion"

As a Matt Smith hater I have to report that he’s even more irritating in comic book form. It’s like the artists were only allowed to use reference shots where he’s flailing that twiggy little index finger like he's casting a spell. Putting him next to Picard is a war crime.
