My dog fits the bill a bit.

That first season on Trek, ‘Sins of the Father’ was the episode. It was a Worf story. Worf goes back to his homeworld for the first time and has this whole thing about his honor. I was down on the set and I’m digging it: ‘It was a big Klingon show, this is kind of cool.’ There’s Michael Dorn and he has this line in a scene where he discovers one of the other Klingons has betrayed them. The line is, ‘Someone should feed this Ha’dibah to the dogs!’… and Michael immediately goes, ‘You know what? It’s a great script but then somebody writes you a line of dialogue like that and the whole thing is just so stupid.’

Michael Dorn obviously wasn’t a fan of the line, but he’s stated many times over the years he is a big lover of Worf. Fortunately, he remained (mostly) professional during the filming of the episode. Ronald D. Moore didn’t even scare him away from playing a Klingon, even if the line was terrible.

There’s more to it but that’s the gist. The writer continued to write and shined despite this one off “gaff”.

I have no idea why my upload got pixelated like that lol sorry for your eyes.

Pizza delivery is notoriously dangerous. More pizza delivery drivers get shot than cops. It took a long time for people to build up the courage and sense of responsibility for pizza before they braved those streets.

I honor our pizza delivery drivers. o7

Or this:

I love how Odo and Quark hook up in the next episode. Enemies to lovers. Classic.

He’s an Oblivion vampire. He can only go into the sunlight after a feeding.

The cool thing about TNG is this literally could have been an episode.

If they keep stacking em, I’ll keep packin, em.

For sure. I want a standalone series. Of the new shows, Lower Decks or Strange New Worlds got us closest to that. But they both feel like an homage to their counterparts (TNG and TOS respectively). I would appreciate a show like DS9 that takes a sort of “day in the life” appeal towards somewhere simple. They made a star base the entire show. I imagine they could take a newly colonized or colonizing planet and make a show about that. New plants, animals, dangers, phenomena, etc. I’m sure each planet could have plenty of stories to tell and subcultures to explore.

Yeah that’s kinda my point.

I’d love to do that someday. Maybe when my daughter is old enough to learn as well.

I have taken a foraging course! My wife and I actually forage a small amount. But I’ve never taken a survival course. I’ll just freeze to death and I’m ok with that.

I’m very anti-work, but one night in that environment with no shelter and food and I’d be dreaming of an office space. That being said, there is definitely a better world somewhere between working 50-80hours a week and sleeping outside with no shelter or food.
