I can’t speak for everyone of course, but as someone who genuinely was not fond of DS9 (not because of writing quality or anything like that, it was great for what it was in that regard.)

After DS9, Voyager had the audacity to try to be FUN again. It offered a really good mix of some serious episodes with some downright goofy episodes. For every “Year of Hell” or “Equinox”, you would get an episode where they were attacked by giant viruses, or a good old fashioned holodeck program goes haywire episode.

It wasn’t afraid to dive into Shlock after DS9 tried to be sooooo fucking serious.

To me, that was a breath of fresh air.

Also:

1. Janeway is easily the best captain overall. She doesn’t give “Picard Speeches” like Stewart of course, but in every other aspect, her leadership is amazing throughout that series.

2. Voyager 2 parters were usually epic. This of course comes from the fact that the CGI had come a long way from the TNG days, but with the exception of Best of Both Worlds, I’d put Year of Hell, Equinox and Scorpion ALL better than any other two parter from any other series.

If your comparison is to DS9 and you want “super serious” than yeah…of course Voyager isn’t going to be for you. But if you want something that isn’t afraid to be a little silly sometimes, Voyager is hella-fun.

I miss cretien.

Probably around the same time that Adolph makes a comeback.

I’d argue that you already DO have bigger problems, you just haven’t come to terms with it yet.

Doesn’t really matter what it would take. His plan is (and always has been) that if anything doesn’t go his way, he takes it to the supreme court who he handpicked and has in his pocket. So either:

• a) He manages to stop the midterms, or
• b) He doesn’t, but Republicans already have them rigged so as to not matter, or
• c) They lose the midterms, Trump takes it to the supreme court, who hand the republicans the win based on “hand waved evidence of voter fraud by democrats and ‘illegals’”…

Trump just gets bolder every time people say “oh we’ll get out of this at the midterms.” He’s laughing at America.

It’s psychologically important to me and many others that he fucking die.

we can put through a regime change in this year’s midterm elections

It’s incredible how many people still think that this will be a thing.

Can someone please just kill this man already?

Or at least say “Hey…dumbshit…Russia is ALREADY your neighbour. It’s called Alaska fuckhead.”

Having to wait a few seconds after peeing to make sure that you’re really done peeing becaue sometimes there’s that little surprise burp at the end that if you put your dick away too soon will be a spot on your underwear. Not a big one, mind you; you’re not peeing yourself. Just that last little straggler running to catch up.

Yeah…about that. You’re gonna want to sit down first.

First off: Holy shit, it’s dollar-store Joel McHale.

Secondly: Cops are not here, and never have been here, to prevent crime. The LAW is not about preventing crime. Crime will crime no matter what.

The cops are there to make sure that the uglier parts of society; the homelessness, the addiction, the violence, the desperation, is kept out of sight from the feckless tax-payers who would rather live in a dream world than face reality.

They spend more time clearing out protests (legal) and homeless encampments (legal) than they ever spend preventing your apartment from being broken into. Sure, they’ll show up in the aftermath to mitigate the possibility of you getting justice on your own. But they won’t actually do anything beyond the performative.

As far as I’m concerned, unionization should be government mandated for every company everywhere in every industry.

But unfortunately we live in hell.

If by “work through”, he means guillotine the billionaires who caused the job losses and redistrubute their wealth to make up for it, I’m all in.
