I recently found hidden in my CD collection a copy of the soundtrack to The Tune.

And then there’s an entire universe of memes just from the episode where Dal and Janeway bodyswap - already seen several.

An xkcd classic - didn’t even need to look at it. That’s a good reminder.

Yes! Finally! Someone else doing some Prodigy memes, especially crazy Wesley ones. Here’s some of mine (previously exclusive to c/risa):

(Note that last panel is meant to convey my excitement at Wesley’s reappearance.)

And another Prodigy meme, conveying what I love about Trek:

This is in the first 50 Google Image Search results for “DS9 meme”.

A classic, but one I’ve seen before.

Unless we go for the SNW retcon/Temporal Cold War shenanigans, in which case we still have a chance.

I have a pair of socks and pants with this on it.

Why does that look like Alexander Rozhenko but middle aged and with a drinking problem spurred by his traumatic childhood?

Part of me wants to create a content fork of Memory Alpha that’s independently hosted. A couple years ago, I was messing with creating an LCARS skin, but didn’t get beyond a really janky proof of concept (https://gitlab.com/dexcube/lcars-mediawiki-skin); knowing more about MediaWiki skins now and wanting to redesign this for usability, I would probably rewrite this from the ground up now.

However, part of me also wants to do a wiki for the band Cheekface, since it doesn’t have much in the way of online documentation and their back catalog is getting larger. Also, even relatively in-depth coverage of the band is a much smaller undertaking than managing decades of canon.

Wasn’t sure how good this would be, but that was rather fun.

I was tempted to diss the banjo ship for being too generic a space ship, but it’s just so well executed I can’t.

Now, I what I really think we need is a full orchestra arrangement of “Faith of the Heart” done in a full orchestra arrangement like a classic theme. All there is right now is the crappy MIDI where they just changed a few instruments but didn’t change the arrangement.

Second result for search terms “O’Brien must suffer meme”

I thought for a split second this was just a repost of the one with Chief O’Brien, but was pleasantly surprised.

Frankly, I lack an understanding of the disdain for “All I Want For Christmas Is You” - I have heard much more annoying Christmas songs. It may be a bit cloying and heavily pop, but I think it’s well executed, at least compared to almost any Christmas song put out by a major artist in the 21st century. Also, I think My Chemical Romance pulled off a rather good cover that perhaps beats the original.

Maybe part of it is I have a 5 hour personal/family Christmas playlist that reduces the amount of repeated listens to a more manageable degree. In addition to more well-known ones and several covers, it is also filled to the brim with alternative and indie Christmas music - Jonathan Coulton especially is good at making atypical holiday songs that don’t get annoying.

You’re a top tier OC maker.

I’ll look into that. Thanks.

This might be right. I mean, Migleemo also doesn’t wear a standard uniform:

Ubuntu doesn’t deserve Uhura. 🤣

But in all seriousness, guess I’m a Denobluan now, minus the polyamory.

I mean, the creator of Dilbert is basically option 2 incarnate in the most terrifying way possible, so it makes sense.

It was actually an attempt to use indirect characterization - by using “lasers” instead of “phasers”, it shows that the demographic I am describing only pays attention to the superficial aesthetic of Star Trek rather than its meaning or even common technical terms in the show.

But still, I derive quite a bit of humor from your comment.

Oops.
