      I tried to work in a Pa’nar syndrome one but it was too clunky. I appreciate how you just slapped “HIV ALLEGORY” on it 😂

        Sometimes clunky problems require simple solutions lol. I couldn’t figure out any other way to represent Pa’nar syndrome in a still.

          Listen, you got the job done not to mention this meme is specifically about how nitpicking representation is harmful to representation.

        From her publicity blitz for the episode, I don’t think she’s too excited to go through the prosthetics process again.

        ENT is definitely one of my top 3 Treks. Wasn’t perfect, but I just really like the “everything is new and experimental” aspect of it. That, and the early episodes having to solve problems without relying on the transporters or having to hand-wave away why they can’t use them.

          I still think it’s kinda funny that transporters were only written in because they couldn’t afford a shuttle in TOS season 1 then they became so iconic. I wonder what trek would be like if they’d only ever had shuttles.
