My favorite Scotty gif!

Undiscovered Country will always be my favorite. But… There Be Whales is a close second.

I’ll…. be in my bunk.

Tell him, Scotty.

I’ve made it to my mid 40s with full coverage. Not sure if I would shave it completely or go with a #1 or #2 all over when my time comes.

I guess it depends on where/how it happens?

Geordi is right. Not cool, Gomez.

It’s sooo good

That is indeed a big one!

There’s also the flip side of imposter syndrome.

Inherent in the belief that people are going to figure out that you are actually a fraud, and really bad at something, is the implicit idea that all those other people are actually competent and good at stuff themselves.

Here’s the thing - most of them probably aren’t. The older I get (mid 40s now…) the more I realize that incompetence is far more widespread than I used to think it was.

This is not to give anyone an inflated idea of their own ability or intelligence, including myself! It’s just a reminder that, in most situations, the people whose judgment you are worried about are probably just as bad off as you are… and are probably worse!

Yeah, I think it’s an open question as to when Starfleet knew about the Borg.

It actually seems totally reasonable to me that the reports about strange cybernetic beings from Cochrane’s, and later Archer’s, time might not necessarily get connected to the El Aurian refugees or Picard’s first encounter with a cube.

After all, the old reports from 150 years ago, from TNG’s point of view, only happened due to temporal shenanigans and would probably have been super-duper classified.

I think it’s the episode where the Romulans have Riker in a simulated future in an attempt to get information out of him.

Star Trek V was the first in the theater for me. I was 7 years old.

I would pair UDC with “Errand of Mercy”. I’m 99% sure that’s the episode where the Klingons are introduced for the first time.

Why no Undiscovered Country? Why???

Have I got good news for you…

I have a JD. The degree you get from law school, at least here in the US.

The “D” literally stands for “doctor”… no one ever calls you doctor though.

Not that I use the degree any more. I work in IT now!

“Damage control is easy. Reading Klingon - that’s hard.” - Scotty

That tool kit is kind of awesome.

Yeah, as a glasses-wearer, I am seriously thinking about getting some totally rimless glasses so no one thinks I have the pervert glasses…

I grew up on TNG and always wanted my glasses to have the powers of Geordi’s VISOR… but not like this…

The pre-HD era of screen resolutions was helpful too.
