Bride of Chaotica is my all time favorite Voyager episode. The cast all seem to be having so much fun with it, especially Rayner/Chaotica himself. The scene where Lunzak shoots Janeway and it just bounces off (cuz holodeck safeties) and she ad libs “ha, you’re no match for Arachnia!” is just so perfect. Satan’s Robot is hilarious. And I love how they merge the Chaotica-style music and Star Trek theme for the end-of-episode musical sting.

Not without their legs!

E099: PROGRAMMER IS OVERLY POLITE

Obligatory:

You don’t go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?

Pretty fucking good, actually. Which alarms me.

You see I’ve observed that my life seems to get better when the rest of society gets worse, and vice versa. Not because of anything I do, it’s just how my luck works. When the economy tanks, I’m financially secure; when the economy is running hot, I’m broke. My wellbeing seems inversely correlated to the wellbeing of society at large.

And I’m doing great. Better than ever, actually. Hence my alarm: according to the inverse wellbeing law, shit’s about to get real.

Start saving for old age now. It might seem like a long way off, and you might not have much money right now to begin with, but being young and poor is way better than being old and poor.

Yes.

I prefer Babylon 9: The Next Iteration.

Realistically, that would get annoying pretty fast and I’d soon learn to hate any song I chose. So I’d pick 4′33″, which is four minutes and 33 seconds of silence.

But otherwise I’d pick “One Bad Tank”, from the video game Left4Dead2. It’s the song that plays when the boss enemy enters a particular map.

For some reason fungal mycelial networks and tardigrades were all the rage in pop sci and internet memes circa 2015. The writers just hopped on the bandwagon when they were deciding how their non-warp propulsion plot point would work.

My thought process while reading this:

1. tsk too bad the institute couldn’t take the joke
2. Good on Goodall for being a good sport about it
3. See? It all worked out in the end for everyone
4. Goddammit

Man it sure is crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.

Nougat and flame.

It’s pretty much as clean going into the pipe as it is coming out. Water pipes are kept pressurized so that any cracks or breaks push water out instead of letting contaminants in.

My mom’s early 90’s minivan. I think it was a Voyager.
