Not the Sonic pregnancy meme I expected.

It it’s any consolation, it has literally zero bearing on the actual plot.

Then he runs out of quarters for laundromats and starts using ovens.

No joke, I think bringing back the Hirogen could be a lot of fun.

That’s how a lot of marketing astroturfing works though.

You let people post things organically, then you signal boost the shit out of them, and nobody can claim it’s false or contrived, because OP really did just post a thing they like.

sigh

If you can show me Roman furry artwork (for a friend who really wants to see it, of course), I’ll withdraw my whole line of comments.

Lol

But we’ve also never really seen the details of how a ship transitions from one captain and crew to a new one. This is an opportunity to depict how Starfleet ensures continuity of command and crew cohesion when something happens to one of their captains.

I like seeing that there’s a system of mentoring and intership collaboration in place so that when there’s a sudden shakeup in the crew roster it’s not an unforeseen calamity but just another eventually they all trained for. Presumably this is happening all across the fleet, and it could well be that Kirk is doing this with several other ships as well as part of his command track.

It only seems strange because we know he’s destined to take Pike’s chair. He doesn’t know that. He’s just learning and absorbing all he can about how different crews function.

Seems to be like a Starfleet mentoring program we just haven’t seen in action before. It makes sense to me that they’d want their rising stars to get some exposure to other established captains and develop relationships with other crews beyond their own. I like it.

I see they’ve not done anything to rectify the horror show that is Rok-Tahk’s mouth.

Yeah, except for that damned pus-filled boil that is the Osu logo. It’s a pox that never goes away. I despise every person involved with putting it there.

You’re a cool dude, OP. I withdraw my griping. :)

In theory I agree with the sentiment, but then I imagine the same people who’re supposed to be keeping oil pipelines from rupturing put in charge of nuclear materials.

One causes more of the other.

I really would love for this community to implement tags of some kind. I honestly couldn’t care less about what characters are doing in the comics.

I can’t be the only one getting a little tired of clickbaity headlines like this exploiting the ambiguity.

Edit: Big props to OP for editing the title.

I’m speaking in historical terms here. By new I mean within the past couple of decades.

It doesn’t work on mobile, does it? I tried to place a pixel using my phone and got nothing.

Not necessarily. They’ve already seriously retconned Pike having foreknowledge of his fate, and used that burden to expand his character immensely. They did a similar thing to Chapel by having Boimler accidentally spoil the fact that she and Spock don’t end up together, and that has been further built upon to allow her to grow as a character. There are enough big gaps in canon to play around a lot.

I think of it like a historical drama. For, say, a show set in the thirties, you know the next decade is going to be all kinds of hell for every single character, but they don’t know it, and the dramatic tension of that is something that can be used to write stories that you can’t do otherwise.
