I’m a stringy ensign meat pie.

There is a Dax joke someone could make here.

Is Kock off the table?

My understanding was they had heard TNG referred to as what saved the franchise but didn’t agree with that sentiment. They were trying to argue (with no citation, just pure anger) that the TOS cast saved themselves.

At some point the conversation shifted towards complaints about modern conventions (I should have said I overheard this at STLV). They complained about the modern pricing and seating arrangements we have today. That lead them to mention the year the convention hall named the vendor’s room after Roddenberry. This seemed to upset the person even more and say that it was a disgrace that anyone let the TNG cast attend the convention that following year. Possibly I missed some context that explained why they felt so adamantly negative about TNG. All I could say was that the opinion being given seemed to ignore the fact that Roddenberry created that series. If it was anything else, I would understand. This I was having trouble understanding.

EDIT: The cherry on top was this person was wearing a Kirk heartthrob shirt.

EDIT 2: I understand there are people who only care about TOS and have no interest in the rest of the franchise. I’ve met those people. I respect that. But this person seems very upset with the fact that the franchise exist beyond TOS.

I encountered a person who said after Roddenberry died, the entire TNG cast should have been banned from attending STLV.

EDIT: I should clarify that the topic of discussion I overheard was unclear to me. One complaint is that TNG saved the franchise, when according to the aggrieved, it was always TOS.

I’ve met people who are offended by the notion that anything exist after STVI.

If they had gotten the same actor who played the college football player, that would have made it better. They made a call back to the sketch in one of the East-West Bowl sketches where a player is named AY AY RON.

Pretty much one of the best sketches they did.

If one of you’ll says some silly ass name, this whole class is gonna feel my wrath.

Oops. I was typing too fast.

I understood the reference. I’ve seen Point Blank. Just didn’t know what the initials were.

A.I.G?

It could be “The Naked Now”.

EDIT: I looked at screenshots. It is nether “The Naked Now” or “Sub Rosa”.

I don’t even follow sports, and I was outraged by Russia being awarded host in 2018. All the experts said England should have won that bid.

Well at least here was a better and more consistent depiction than what we had in “The Last Outpost” and “The Battle”.

And yes, I would trifle with those Ferengi.

Apparently Armin credits Max with shaping the Ferengi we see in DS9, with this episode.

Everyone seemed to be having so much fun. Seeing Deanna cheer to Picard getting embarrassed when Vash explained they weren’t offering jamaharon.

You mean “when in Romulus”.

You’re into a lot of pillow talk after sex?

National politics has gotten convoluted if you hallucinate an election. What exactly did people think was on this non-existent ballot? If it was all about New York City then that is really sad.
