Here's to my main man K'Vagh, who is (partially) responsible for the Klingons looking like humans with dark face paint on TOS.

Ah the time the Klingons became space blackface while trying to become super Klingons.

Rumor has it that after K'Vagh was cured of the Klingon Augment virus, his ship flew through a temporal wormhole and crash-landed on 1960's earth somewhere in the West coast of the United states.

As he appeared human, he had no problem blending in with the humans, taking on the human name "Philip Banks". He used his advanced future knowledge and Klingon honor to become a wealthy lawyer and eventually a judge, marrying a human woman and having 4 half Klingon children (who all inherited their fathers human appearance.). He also allowed his human nephew Will to live with them after suffering some trouble in West Philidelphia.

He also developed an unusual hatred of turtles if I recall my history.

I was mostly just throwing a hypothetical, what if the Cardassians didn't have any females.

Kind of missed this above, but what you described in both this post and your initial one are quite similar to the Kzinti of the Known Space setting, who genetically modified all of their women to be braindead big tiddy borderline-animals that just want to fuck and reproduce while the men all act like savage warriors. And by savage I'm not talking like Klingon or Cardassian savage, but instead they were depicted as so suicidal and so back-stabbing and so just absolutely bloodthirsty that they fought four wars with the human race and got their shit stomped straight in like the idiots they were every single time, to the point where their planet basically became a joke ghetto not allowed to have weapons or even much in terms of defenses.

Bringing this back to Star Trek, they actually showed up as the main villains in an episode of the old Animated Series, complete with their actual name and backstory awkwardly jammed into the ST universe because at the time the writers wanted to collaborate with the author of Known Space, Larry Niven.

Since TAS also (in)famously featured the furry catgirl M'Ress on the bridge, its always been my headcannon that the Caitians were some kind of colony world that seceded to join the Federation because they caught wind of what was going on back home and were horrified that half of their race was being turned into braindead fucktoys. Maybe was even the flashpoint that started the war against the Kzinti in the first place, kind of like how Texas seceding to join the US started the Mexican-American War. This has never been confirmed since most people tend to forget about TAS but I always found it neat to speculate on.

That's the lore I found on Star Trek Online, almost. And there's clues in the Memory-Alpha entry. This past summer they appeared as a PC race in the Alpha Quadrant sourcebook for Star Trek Adventures. Both STO and STA have to go to Paramount and CBS and ask permission to include background and stuff. I can imagine someone there just sees a stack of papers and signs their name without really looking at what was written. Both properties aren't subject to the 25% difference, so it's all TNG Prime timeline. In STO, there are the Ferasans, which have the exact history of the Kzin, except the stupid females part. I suppose that was a 25% change to avoid legal problems with Niven.

Because of this, I loaded up STO and found they had a memorial that seems to have been updated quickly.

Its too bad that there is absolutely no way in hell the braindead fucktoy holocaust would fly in today's political climate since I find that idea genuinely horrifying and it would certainly be a sensible reason to go to war with an enemy, especially if you had a group of rebels seeking asylum. Prime Directive be damned, Captain Kirk would go full General Order 24 and blow every continent off the Kzinti homeworld if he beamed down and learned of something horrifying like that, so I could totally see TOS or pre-TOS Starfleet intervenning in such a conflict. And hell, the ENT Andorians showing up to the party to smash some pussy too depending on how far back in the timeline you want to place the event.

...Speaking of General Order 24, I just made the realization that Kirk's backstory has him as the survivor of genocide on a colony planet and he's still ready to drop 24 on a planet in A Taste of Armageddon. I know he has a bigger plan in said episode and I dunno the writing/filming dates of any of the episodes so maybe the Tarsus Massacre backstory came after the idea of General Order 24 but damn, that's pretty fucking chilling in retrospect.

Where did the animation come from? Because while initially it was winning me over with all the little refrences and stuff and its quite detailed the sudden R Lee Ermey cameo had me bent over my chair laughing like a lunatic.'

Also Jane can we just stop this crazy thing for a moment and remember that plagarism or no plagarism one of the main plot points of Discovery hinges on an internet tumblr meme?

I'm actually starting to wonder if they added that A deliberately just to piss people off as a production in-joke.

You know what, I'm starting to actually have fun at this stupid shitfest carnival. This shit is hilarious.

It's from one of the recent Short Treks, directed by Giacchino. Also they've unironically wasted the budget on a 20-minute CGI animation for a made-up story about a strong little black girl from Africa who created the stars (yes, that same dumb story used in the first episode of STD season 2).

Honestly that makes me want to watch the show now, if they've run out of ideas so completely they're doing insane shit like a tardigrade playing out every famous moment in Star Trek while the shitty little nephew of Jailbot tried to protect its eggs it sounds like they're smoking some good fucking crack over there now instead of downing methadone like the rest of the affair has been.
 
Happy new year, Trekkies. Tis better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all. :feels:

So, I managed to use a couple of tricks such as the recent apocalypse scare with Iran (I'm still listening to 99 Red Balloons) and impressing @The 8 of Spades by correctly guessing an extremely obscure movie off the top of my head to get original unremastered The Doomsday Machine slipped into the Sunday movie night. Apparently there has never a Star Trek movie night on this website which given how much our lord and saviors Mike Stoklasa and Rich Evans are massive Star Trek fans I find shocking.

If you aren't aware, the Sunday one is the smaller one and in my opinion chat isn't quite as chaotic as the Friday one. Dunno if anyone in the thread does movie nights but I felt maybe I outta let everyone know.

For whatever reason Chrome doesn't play nice with movie night and won't let me log in as a guest account. I was in for a viewing of The Craft once and then I tapped out during some shitty zombie movie.

Also, I'm fluffing for The Conscience of the King, probably my favorite episode of TOS. Do we know what happened to Kodos in the Kelvin timeline, btw?
