2·14 hours agoHuh? Professionalism isn’t a quantifiable property. It’s also not objective. If someone works with Ake in a professional capacity and considers her to be a professional, then she is. To claim otherwise is illogical.

5·2 days agoI don’t like teen dramas and I don’t particularly like romance plots, can someone explain why I’m loving this show so much?

3·2 days agowhat’s up with Captain Ake being…extremely unprofessional?
Uh, are we watching the same show? She seems to have the complete and total respect of those around her, including Dadmiral and even the bad guy.

We all like checking out the latest features and updates but it’s important to remember that it’s not a race.

Now I love the DS9 theme. So maybe Academy’s will grow on me, too.

4·11 days agoExactly, they got Paul Giamatti for Spock’s sake. When an actor is at their level they can be choosy about the roles they take on.

11·11 days agoI’m fairly OK with NuTrek trusting the audience less and driving a point home harder
I’m generally against this, but it’s also not like Star Trek ever gave us a reasonable expectation of subtlety…

2·20 days agoI was taught they are starchy but that was grade school days and I won’t die on this hill. I certainly didn’t mean to imply peas were unhealthy. What I found odd is that they are on opposite ends of the pyramid from “whole grains” which is a carb I would personally say is on about the same level as peas overall.

252·21 days agoThey stopped using the pyramid a longtime ago, but yeah this one isn’t bad:

As a pile of (mostly) healthy food it’s fine. But as an infographic it completely sucks.
EDIT: It’s interesting they would have frozen peas at the top (mostly empty starch) but whole grains at the bottom (assuming the bottom means “sparingly”). Also red meat and butter should not be a large part of anyone’s daily calories.







Right there with you. Section 31 kind of hit a so-bad-it’s-good again for me. And even Nemesis has the very cool space battle scene.
I could do without Enterprise Season 3, but it’s also not like I’m skipping it during a rewatch!
