Troi in the background smiling in the bottom panel just makes it so much better.

Unrelated Sidenote: The music from Subspace Rhapsody is on Spotify. Just saying.

      It took me way too goddamn long to realize that stood for Married with Children.

      However I completely agree. God that would be good.

      Very interesting way to phrase his wife but yeah, that is accurate? She was played by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry. Majel also played the original Number One in The Cage, Nurse Chapel in TOS and the voice of the computer in TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY.

      Well. Gotta wait a month before I get paid again but I know what i’ll be buying. I look forward to it. Thank you very much for this. I know very little about the Trek books/comics.

    Majel Barrett is without a doubt my favorite trek actress. Just so damned good.

      He’s proficient with a bat’leth. Can’t blame him for preferring close quarters combat.

      So… are you saying now they DON’T portray diversity? I’m trying to wrap my head around this but it doesn’t seem to make sense (like most of you people’s arguments TBH)

        Stares in Riker banging every sex and gender in the quadrant 😳 It’s a miracle Troi and him ended up together.

          Riker boldy coming and going. The OG Starfleet fuckboi. Kirk set the tone, Will dialed it to 11.

      Star Trek still is aimed to portray a large varied world in which all sorts of characters and storylines can exist. It’s just not the storylines you like.

      Also your second line really displays the type of person you are. And that type of person? Not someone worth ever giving the light of day again. Bye. I’ve got better things to do than sit around and wallow in misery and hatred.

          Says the guy whining about Star Trek not being conservative enough for you

          You do know where Star Trek has always fallen on the political spectrum, right?

    This is beautiful. I feel silly it took me a couple reads. Then in a flash I saw Picard elbowing Data out of the way to mash the fire button like a kid playing Tekken for the first time. Desperate shots go wide, there’s a heavy sigh as realization sets in…he stands up straight, smooths his uniform, “Onscreen.”

      Here I am just singing along to the Subspace Rhapsody soundtrack and I have to pause it due to laughing so hard at your comment. A very vivid picture of what you described popped into my head and I love it.
