The meaning of SIC ITUR AD ASTRA is thus one goes to the stars : such is the way to immortality. - Merriam Webster.

Seems a reasonable sentiment, if perhaps in a crass place.

I'd be a terrible actor because I'd have all kinds of clauses in my contracts such as "don't commidify my death" and "don't feed my likeness into a statistical model" or perhaps even "If my payment is revenue share and the work fails to make profit for 15 or more out of 30 years then the studio owes me $2,000,000"

I’m not telling you that you must. I felt like it should be shared knowing how this replica went under the radar.

Shit I'm going to have to get this aren't I...

Compared with 10 years ago, they improve a lot, but still make mistakes like Moby Dick = What we dick.

That’s YouTube’s auto generated subtitles. They are horrible.

An extended tribute of Patrick Stewart, excellent!

hahahaha

Discovery tried to show some Klingon diversity and a quarter of the fan base went into an absolute tantrum

Picard always spoke French, you hear the universally translated version. This theory is disproved in a couple ways, but it’s the best explanation.

I think it's safe to say the people in charge appreciated the idea of diversity but had no actual clue. Harry Kim was supposedly Chinese, till Garret Wang told them Kim is Korean surname.

Flirting. Everyone who flirts (especially on TNG) sounds like an LMM trained on HR handouts.

Irish stereotypes. From Finnigan in TOS all the way to "Up The Long Ladder" in TNG... It hasn't been great.

A wild Naveen Andrews appears.

He was Corinthian. /s
