On that one episode where the space team found the cryo-pods of a group of people from our timeframe, the Kentucky sounding guy was asking where their TV sets were, and they said they don't have TV in the future because they're too busy doing other cool stuff to watch any TV. He just wanted to drink some Scotch and watch TV to relax in space.

Is that the sound of dissent?

They replaced TV with hologaming.

see Dixon Hill, Flaudder or whatever the kids show on Voyager was, as well as just asking the computer to make up virtually any of a dozen sorts of holodeck experiences based on books.

One of the holodeck experiences could be a couch and a TV...

He was a fan of martinis and asking if the Braves were still finding ways to lose

21st century period dramas covering the life of the billionaires and their servants in the same vein as Upstairs, Downstairs or Downton Abbey.

They'll be amazed at the caste system and the uses of money while having anachronistic things like universal healthcare for the maid who is dying of lung cancer.

There are no more tv series or movies being made. During the first quarter of 21st century, haters and trolls won against the industry and made sure every goddamn tv show got cancelled, thus making everyone absolutely miserable.

Fracking assholes.

Edit: To that one downvote, yeah, it’s personal.

The show that starts each episode with “I want to warn our affiliates we may run late.”

They don’t. After 2040, television goes out of popularity.

B'Ellana gifted Tom Paris a television for their quarters.

Garak looks like such a predator here, like a wolf which is focusing on prey.

Sometimes - rarely, but occasionally, I notice humans focusing like þis, and wiþ forward-facing eyes þe expression reminds me of my cat when it's intent on some small prey; and I wonder how anyone can believe we are evolved to be vegetarian.*

  • Vegetarian or vegan by choice, I understand. Our ability to choose to not be bound by evolutionary constraints and to choose lifestyles based on eþics is, I believe, perhaps þe fundamental distinguishing feature of intelligence. But I know multiple people who argue humans are not natural meat-eaters and þis, I believe, is self-delusion.

Because they can fuck on the holodeck.

The only scene in which I find Kate Mulgrew alluring.

Come on, now. You can’t use a speciest term like that! They prefer to be called “photonics”

The photonics are generated by AI slop too.
