I'm not hella tall but I have a long gait

My point is more than pulling out an original cast member felt to me like they're running a little low on ideas and are starting to get towards the 'Break incase of emergency' stuff

that makes sense
I liked how he ended up in charge of Starfleet Corps of Engineers
 
The most unrealistic thing (in this show about pyramids as UFO Uber lots ) is Daniel Jackson not ramming his dick in Vala Mal Doran's ass.

Christ I hate Lower Decks so much. It's creatively bankrupt but people lap it up because it's memberberries: the show. REMEMBER ALL THE TIMES MILES SUFFERED? Yeah, we get it. You pillaged Memory Alpha in every single writers meeting.

I tried watching the episode where they go to DS9 this week. Even with the cameos it was still a cringefest.

Ah and here we are at the Darmok episode.

This is random, but it's something that has always just bugged me so much. The universal translator!

Preface: I understand that this was a choice, and one I support. You want your actors to act, to emote, you want your audience to resonate with those emotions. You're never going to get that with fucking made up giberish alien language and sub-titles. I'm looking at you Star Wars, in fact, this is a huge pet peeve of mine, I fucking hate made up language. It's even worse in the fucking Star Wars video games, ESPECIALY TOR because they clearly use any fucking random line and write...

It's a little overplayed but totally believable if you try listening to a zoomer nowadays.

Or really any generation just two steps beyond your own. They will have memes and cultural references that will completely baffle you even if you understand the words they are saying.

I get it... "Meme language, ahead of it's time." but... Memes are language shorthand. They only work if there is a longer language to work off of. What the fuck does "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" even mean unless you have words for "and" and "at"?

Yeah. And later we see the captain writing in his journal so it's obviously a functional language.

I mean I literally had it happen not long ago when I was working with a foreign made bot on the factory floor who knows English, but still uses a lot of translating apps. When I said something was "cool" (or maybe it was "neat") he became...

I mean in a lot of ways Darmok is peak trek. Finding some new life that seems so drastically different from us, but as we work together, we find out we have a lot more in common than we thought.
