Except when they're already merging in front of you. It's like thanks bud, glad you thought to use the signal when two of your wheels were already over the line cutting me off. Cool cool cool.

"Garak to Chief O'Brien. Our universal translator seems to be malfunctioning."

It once had the potential to be a net good. Widespread and rapid dissemination of information in an easily digestible format is a positive thing, in theory.

Right now it would only sell at a massive loss, and there's no going back from that black mark. Xitter is the hill he's going to die on. We can only hope that happens sooner than later.

It's a rare example of the free market working the way it should.

People keep saying this, so as someone who has only watched half of the first season, when does it get to this point?

I mean it's amusing enough, but it's just a pastiche of cliches and obvious gags. People keep saying that it distills Trek down to its essence or something like that, but to me it seems like "watered down" would be more accurate.

It's literally just camp TNG with juvenile humor, mildly annoying characters, and low stakes.

And even if you do create "original" characters, it can be extremely helpful to imagine your fantasy casting for them to aid in your roleplay. This big guy is John Goodman, that suave rogue is George Clooney, the gnome over there is Jim Carey.

Brilliant character concept. I can only assume you have gadget belt, and every device is branded with the holy symbol of your oath.

Bonus points if your oath is based around overcoming fear by adopting the aspects of the most feared one, who takes the form of a great bat.

This is good advice except for the bit about Dora the Explorer. That would require watching Dora the Explorer.

Sub in any genre movie or TV show you know well. If you players catch on and recognize it, that's even better, because then they think they know what to expect, and that's when you zag on 'em.

That is a crime against humanity.

That's a week of food for some people.

That's there because of analog clocks, which somebody in history decided would look too cluttered if they counted all 24 hrs, and at any rate we're asleep for roughly a third of them anyway, so it's superfluous. The 12-hr clock is an elegant design solution.

Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Rene Auberjonois, Robert Picardo, and Anthony Montgomery all appeared on Frasier. And it goes deeper than that. This post barely scratches the surface.

I'm not the dumb one!

He's also very funny as a GRR Martin / Rothfuss type in Mythic Quest on Apple TV+.

I'm glad you clarified, because I was about to look up "Irish guacamole" on Urban Dictionary and add to my own trauma.

Had to take it out to poop, obviously.
