So many Spenser quips are stuck in my head. When someone on here "well, actually'd" one of my little jokes I replied, "I was just enjoying a wry smile at one of life's little vagaries" and that was that.

Okay, maybe it wasn't that bad, but to quote Opus the Penguin, Lord, it wasn't very good.

Seriously, though, from Kirk's "damned hippies" attitude to Chekov and Irina's moose-and-squirrel accents to Dr. Sevrin somehow channeling RFK Jr. 40 years before he went nuts, truly a terrible episode. And the cherry on top: Starfleet's dorkiest crewman rocking out to the space hippie's music.

Having recently learned about Korean mukbang videos, I feel like Dean Young missed a real opportunity for this strip.

People are really reaching for the 4D-chess that must be behind it all. I won't lie, I wondered if this is Trump sticking it to Schumer and "the other gentleman" who clearly didn't want Mamdani to win. But I think you have it right.

This is the kind of language in defense of trans people that I've been waiting to hear from Democrats for the past year. It took an election to show Dems that supporting us won't hurt them at the ballot box. I wish they had the courage before that, but better late than never.

I hate the fact that we are the mercy of whichever transphobic idiot in the administration has the loudest voice on any given day.

I have no idea if the cuts were uniform or left up to individual tv stations.

Throughout the 70s and most of the 80s that was the only televised Star Trek we had, and even when the uncut episodes started coming out on VHS, they were expensive to own. And to get to the video store to rent them we had to walk uphill both ways in the snow!

That's another one I watched just recently that's better than I remember! I grew up watching TOS in syndication with minutes cut out for extra ads, and watching this one uncut, I was struck by our characters, even Spock, dealing with their shame and anger at being puppetted by the Platonians.

The three month break every year from mid-November through mid-February is depressing as hell.

Been recently watching og Star Trek season 3 in what started as an act of self-flagellation only to find, for example, that Spock's Brain is not the worst episode. That honor, so far, goes to Lights of Zetar in which Lt. Mira Romaine is constantly referred to only as "the girl", even by the aliens!
