I don’t think he knows what the word “peace” means.

Burn it all to the ground, kids.

It really seems like he doesn’t understand what a “defense alliance” is meant to accomplish.

AKA…the “New and Improved Wheel”. It’s all about the marketing.

It’s in the bushes behind the greenhouse.

Pakistan is playing some 5-D chess, here. Butter up the raging narcissist by flattering his ego, in the hopes that he backs down on Iran or risks losing his Nobel prize nomination.

Smart. He actually might fall for it.

Yeah, but in “Arena” there was nothing about using humans as incubators / hosts. That’s the part they added in, to make them more “monster-like”. Without that, their motivation is not much different than our own. With that, they are much more terrifying and alien.

To be fair, the old Gorn rationale for attacking the colony was, “You’re in our territory, and we assumed you had hostile intent”…while the SNW rationale is, “We lay eggs in your body, so our young have something to eat when they hatch”.

That’s a significant difference in character motivation.

It’s only weird until you realize they aren’t talking about your “personal” security. They couldn’t care less about you.

Do these come with carbide tips?

“The Arena” is originally the first meeting between the Federation and the Gorn, with Kirk and the Gorn captain fighting one-on-one.

But, in SNW, the Gorn have already been encountered, although little is known about them yet, due to the fact that they leave no survivors and seem to make no effort to communicate.

The recon is to the timeline and initial encounter with the species, as well as adding in a lot of new details that were never part of the original concept.

The driver fits in the trunk.

smh.

This is the entire AI problem, in a nutshell.

Exactly. Just like they promised ten years ago, and then never delivered. Now we’re moving in the opposite direction.

Fuck the Liberals. We gave them a win, and the first thing they do is fuck us over. Again.

And he was wrong,every single time.

JFC.

Sounds like somebody’s got toxoplasmosis.

Can we just not?

Who is still lending Russia money?
