I think that’s part of the joke too. Like the whole comic has been written out of order due to race conditions; rather than just the father represents race conditions.

It’s one degree of humour too far though, if that’s the case, doesn’t really land.

One member of the group had decided to leave, so wanted a valiant sacrifice for his character, none of the rest of us would leave him behind though, so we almost got TPKd before the DM admitted there was literally no way to win the encounter.

I used to classify these as PICNIC.

Not to be confused with “No.”

Nothing to add here but you’ve had a bunch of great answers; thanks to all the respondents and to OP for being super candid. This thread was a great read!

I think you’ve got some wonderful answers here already so I just want to add something that a few points brought to mind.

In my opinion one can authentically play a trait without playing a diagnosis. A great example of this is Drax in the MCU. He isn’t “the autistic one” he’s the guy with hyper literal interpretation. That autistic (amongst other classes) people relate that and feel seen isn’t because he’s “being autistic” but because he sees things like them; the other characters regard that and it somewhat authentically shows the outcomes one such person might have in these wild tales.

You can represent elements of neurodivergence without going all in on an ND character that might only serve to entrench stigma.

Medley and Credits are both wonderful, but to me, including them would not be in the spirit of the rankings.

I can see Lower Decks maybe taking that award, unfortunately I don’t see SNW winning alone, and I strongly suspect Elizabeth Debicki will take the Best Actress Award.

Heads up OP. It could be my app but I don’t see a link in your post.

It’s only one page long and reads

“I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all… I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it. “Also I’m a god now”

That poster is wrong I’m afraid. Though not every job in animation was impacted (some were non-union, some accepted the interim agreements) Lower Decks definitely was. The cast is all SAG and all struck.

SAG-AFTRA’s strike definitely impacted voice work. Non-guild work exists, and wasn’t impacted, but the main cast of LD are all SAG and have mostly hit the picket line too.

I think that what the authors, and indeed most fans, think is that TWOK was what made TNG possible. Had the film not captured the cultural attention of its time there’s very slim chance that more trek would ever have been produced. It was a Hail Mary and it paid off.

That’s a great analogy and helps me understand your argument much better. There is something I think you’ve missed though, which is that advertisers pay to be in the publication, and they pay at the point the print occurs. Rendering in your browser is the analog to hitting the print button, not putting it on a server to be pulled down. In your analogy, the advertiser has paid already before you consume the magazine; but for YouTube the advertisers don’t pay as their adverts are never compiled into the magazine. If you want to write a browser that still calls the ads api and plays the video in the background so YouTube gets the ad revenue but you have “cut it out” then I don’t imagine google would care half as much.

I am sorry but that argument simply doesn’t make an awful lot of sense to me. Unless I am missing a facet, you are saying that your autonomy outstrips their rights? If we were to make an analogue version of that argument would your autonomy to use your hands how you see fit, allow for you to walk into a shop and take something without paying? It seems like, unless I’ve missed something, that’s the analogy.

Commerce and indeed society has always been a balance of personal autonomy and rules, with YouTube you’re going to a website and circumventing their chosen rules. I might not agree with YouTube’s methods, but I don’t think I can get behind the argument they are impinging on your technical rights any more than Tesco does if you try to half-inch a chocolate bar.

Of what I read the author seems to either not understand linear time, or have explained it poorly. The events of SNW don’t happen “before the … 2009 theatrical release”; they happen after that stardate, by 20 something years, and crucially, in a different timeline…

Edit: Apologies to have responded without realising OP is the piece’s author. It wasn’t my intent to be offensive. Basically, OP, the JJ events have nothing to do with the Prime timeline (except the instantiating incident) so marking time based on those factors isn’t common. I might seem like the worst type of sneering Trekkie dork, but Kirk is a living character in his late twenties in Strange New Worlds. The show isn’t taking place before he was born; just before he was Captain. Spock doesn’t require supernatural abilities that defy aging to stay in basically the same job for 10 years.
