In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that... and perhaps more, only one of each of us. Don't destroy the one named Charlie Brown.

It also appears to have at least two sets of eyes, unless it is a distortion from the rapid effects movements. I donโ€™t recall that being a feature of the Gorn.

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

I love this look as well. I thought this D7 model was introduced in Discovery by Chancellor Lโ€™Rell, as the show began evolving the Klingon fleet towards more TOS inspired design elements. But my recollection may be off.

He also had a line with the word โ€œdullโ€ using an intonation that instantly reminded me of William Campbellโ€™s.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably โ€” first in uniform, then in public office.

Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and itโ€™s one of disrespect and cruelty.

a bald man in a suit is standing in front of a large screen . Alt: A bald older man in a uniform is standing in front of a large screen on a starship. He looks at a woman of similar age in civilian clothes who looks back. They are silent but their faces express a mix of emotions including regret, recognition, and concern.

Actually started a rewatch recently, and from the early episodes itโ€™s the face-to-face reunion of Beverly and Jean-Luc. Silent and brief, yet so much is communicated between them.

If you think this canโ€™t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Neroโ€™s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Yes. I studied poli-sci at a French university in the mid-80โ€™s and it made clear that we in the U.S. had โ€œcenterโ€ & โ€œcenter-rightโ€ parties; neither party fundamentally challenged the established economic & political order. Not anymore, as one party now has gone so far right as to reject that order.

I stuck with it, but it itโ€™s the first Trek film Iโ€™ve had no interest in re-watching. I like when Trek tries something new or pushes boundaries (singing in SNW?!) but this felt untethered and disjointed to me.
