I'm more sad at how "Picard" turned both him and Picard into essentially gay lovers. :(

I didn't exactly specify why I was sad... but sure, that is one of many reasons why I am sad right now. (Even limiting those reasons exclusively to those which are Trek-related. -_-)

I mean, only during her period. The rest of the time, Data considered his relationship with her to be "special" such that he kept a hologram of her to fap to after her death.

Sela, not Tasha.
 
This morning, I was checking Wikipedia's list of recent deaths, and a gospel singer named Gary McSpadden died. For a second I thought Gates MacFadden died and my heart skipped a beat.
 
I think the upcoming Plinkett review of Star Trek Picard is the most hype I have been for a piece of Star Trek related media in a good long while.

See, tho, there WAS a reason we did so well in Starfleet. Because humans were part of it's founding mission to poke at anything and everything we find to gain even greater understanding of the galaxy, ourselves, and science in general. There was one thing we had that Vulcans truly lacked, something they gave up when they embraced the teachings of Surak. Naked ambition.
We humans accomplish more faster than any other species simply due to our psychological drive to know absolutely fucking everything and our inability to accept that maybe we can't. Vulcans don't find exploration for it's own sake practical, rather they tried to approach it from a pragmatic standpoint. We humans will land on a resource barren, uninhabitable world just to see what the fuck might possibly be on it. Vulcans, with their lifespans and logic, have no problem undertaking a 500 year project to advance between warp 1 and warp 2, but a human scientist wants to goddamn see this shit right the fuck now before he dies.
It took the Vulcans 1,000 years to rebuild their technology after their last major war and discover Warp drive. Humans managed it in less than a century. Not to mention that of all the species in Trek, they find us humans the least predictable.
Klingons, Cardassians, Romulans, Ferengi, all the other races can be reasonably expected to act much the same way. But humans are so insanely varied that the Vulcans find it almost impossible to actually predict what any given human might say or do more than any other race. We're constantly surprising them even after a century of experience with us.

Not to mention we breed like fucking rabbits compared to Vulcans and expand out of necessity faster than any other species, colonizing shitloads of planets. Kirk stated we (the federation) had spread across thousands, thought Picard stated the Federation was spread across 150 "member" planets. But given Kirk's statements, and the fact that the Vulcans only managed to colonize a canon 26 planets despite their substantial advantages both technological and in time, I'd say humanity has spread across a substantial number of planets.

And don't forget, we humans are willing to take risks that Vulcans aren't because of out impulsiveness, our emotions/ Vulcans would be content to take the safer route even if it was the slower one. Humans don't deal with that pussy shit. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! Might as well be our motto as a species.

Basically we outperform them because we outnumber them, and we're willing to do things they aren't to get results right the fuck now.

Vulcans: "Because Logic!"

Klingons: "Because Glory!"

Andorians: "Because Honor!"

Ferengi: "Because Profit!"

Changelings: "Because Solids!"

Cardassians: "Because the State!"

Romulans: "Because [redacted]!"

Humans: "BECAUSE IT'S THERE!!!"

Welp! Here's an interesting look at the 2009 Star Trek script. It's just as cringy as you expected:

I have a friend who did that once in a script - AS A JOKE. Like it was a deliberately bad b-movie script.

I saw maybe... 2? 3? F-bombs that were sort of appropriate. Otherwise these idiots can't seem to realize, the more you use swears, the weaker they become.

I don't know if I hate him more, or the people who put him in charge.

He read a page or two on his other channel, I don't think it's the actual script.

It's the entry on the Internet Movie Script Database.

Can you imagine how little dignity you'd have to have to hand in such a script?
Now imagine how little integrity you'd have to have to ever hire the man who penned it.

The absolute fucking state of the entertainment industry.
