    “Replicator, give me a slice of mushroom pizza.”

    “Hot or cold.”

    “Hot.”

    “Space-warping travel mushrooms or the ones that grow on old logs.”

    “Uh, the log ones I guess.”

    “Coward.”

    Starship running on mushrooms? Yeah, why not
    The mushrooms are some omnipresent thing connecting all space and time together and giving some special super powers somehow? The force stolen you have. Integration of science fantasy into science fiction unasked for was.

        Countercounterpoint:

        The Q know about the mycelial network, likely because they created it for their own purposes. That’s how they can seem to transport anywhere in the universe. Quinn essentially admitted as much when he said that their “magic” is simply very advanced technology. A mycelial network permeating subspace would be right up their alley.

    I feel like this place has gotten super mean-spirited lately. Maybe I’m just dropping in at the wrong times but I feel like 80% of the posts and comments I see are backhanded references or jabs at some part of the community and most of the rest is TOS stuff I don’t understand that for all I know is also being nasty to somebody.

    Does it really have to be like this? I’ll leave that to you lot to figure out. Maybe a split is in order, or part of the commagazine will just vanish and never make another Trek joke again.

    Also somecritter lemme know if the Disco-Risa/NonDisco-Risa split happens 'cause I kinda still wanna be in one of them. Or maybe both, as long as the fighting quits.

      I think you’re taking this a bit too seriously. Risa is a community for shit posting and jokes. We are allowed to make fun of ourselves here.

        I agree with MrPoopyButthole. We’re unserious here but we tend to not put up with actual maliciousness.

      I have often found humans require the ability “make fun of themselves” in order to derive pleasure. For their species this is normal and you should not find it disconcerting.

      You need to broaden your perspective like when Riker commanded a Klingon ship.

      Fighting is fun. Embrace your inner Klingon and tell those Disco lover/haters how horribly wrong they are!

    I watched this one when I was a kid and it fucked me up. I couldn’t believe starfleet officers could do that.

    The equinos looked cool though

    I haven’t watched Star Trek since DS9 and refuse to watch anything made after Enterprise. Can someone please elaborate what in heavens name is going on this meme is talking about?

      I can say that voyager was a lot of fun but I had a hard time with thing after that until lower decks. I tried enterprise, Picard and disco but I didn’t like either. I haven’t tried brave new worlds so I can’t say anything about that one.

      I think it’s worth trying the new shows and seeing if any of them appeal to you. Lower decks is definitely a goofy cartoon but it has a ton of heart and feels like enterprise in a way most other shows don’t. Plus it does fan service well in a fun way.

        You owe it to yourself to try Strange New Worlds. It’s just really good. It avoids most of the problems that Disco had (though it got better after season 1) and goes back to the episodic feel of past series, but without the ridiculous reset button that some series suffered from.

        Familiarity with TOS will provide you with extra enjoyment, but it’s not a requirement, in my opinion.

      You should get back into it, though. It’s all pretty solid, except maybe some of Picard.

      I did bounce off on DS9, too. That was a rough time for the franchise. Glad people enjoy it retroactively, though.

      This is a double episode from Voyager where they come across another federation starship, the Equinox.
