The year is After Colony 195. With high expectations, human beings leave Earth to begin a new life in space colonies. However, the United Earth Sphere Alliance gains great military powers, and soon seizes control of one colony after another in the name of Justice and Peace.
I am now the pilot of a Leo.
I'm one of those heathens that read through for the first time in publication order. The ancient civilization side trips were a bit disorienting at first but I managed.
Same, except I did watch the last episode. Agreed on Jet (perfection), and Julia/Vicious (what the everloving fuck). Spike and Faye were fine. Even with the missteps, I was still willing to see where they were taking it, if given time for a few course corrections. But they hit that cancel button pretty much immediately.
Engineer Guy went years between ~~books~~ uploads. I had to do a double take when he came up in my feed a few months ago.
Michael Keaton happened.
It's almost as if political dynasties/neoptism/cronyism shouldn't be a thing. Fuck Trump. And fuck Menendez. And Kennedy. Bush, Clinton, Cheney, Paul, Ashcroft, and probably dozens of others that aren't coming immediately to mind.
Form the minute lil Robert declared he was running, the local media simply treated him as the heir to his dad's old seat. Because it was true. He cruised on connections, many of them because his daddy is a crook. I'm hoping Andy Kim can primary senior if he wriggles free again, but Murphy's wife is also running and would you look at that, now we're right back at unqualified people pretending they can govern just because of who they're related to.
Maybe one day junior will prove that he's not just riding coattails as a golden boy. But it's going to take more than an outburst to do it.
I just want you to know that you are not alone. Now please pardon me while I go yell at the clouds to get off my lawn.
Thanks, I'll have to keep that in mind. We just started season 5 of TNG so it shouldn't be too much longer before DS9 is up.
I've also hung onto my old CRT (and consoles, players, etc.), I just haven't had anywhere to hook it up for the past decade plus. My Blu-ray player does a pretty good job at upscaling, but you're right - SD is going to look a lot better on the originally targeted hardware.
Yeah, this shit happens all the time in NJ. Related to someone powerful? Here, have a free political position!
Andy Kim is getting my vote in the primary but with Murphy getting anointed like this, the full weight of the machine is going to be behind her.
