All done! Picard being mobbed by puppies!

#why#I don’t even know#but yes

I very much hope that this is a reference to ‘The Child,’ in which Ian, Troi’s ‘mystery child’ (it was one of those alien-impregnation-WITHOUT-THE-WOMAN’S-KNOWLEDGE-OR-CONSENT stories that I hate so very much, but it’s all passed off as ‘the alien was curious about humans and wanted to experience life as one of us!’ and I’m just like ‘WELL THE FUCKIN’ ALIEN COULD HAVE ASKED PERMISSION TO DO THAT EXPERIMENT’ - anyway, I went on about it at length here) anyway yes let me get back on track, Ian (who is petting some puppies in one of the Enterprise’s schoolrooms at the time) asks Picard if he has ever played with puppies, and he replies that he doesn’t believe he has.

My response at the time:

• PICARD HAS NEVER PLAYED WITH PUPPIES? TRAGEDY. THEY WOULD LICK HIS NOSE AND CHIN AND HE WOULD BE SO HAPPY.
• Someone please draw Picard playing with puppies. Lots of little baby dogs. OH JE SUIS SI HEUREUX DE VOIR TOUS CES CHIOTS! JE VOUS AIME, MES CHIOTS!

SO… I don’t know for sure but I’d love to think that this is the granting of a wish that I made back on the thirtieth of March, 2011.

He got paid a visit by the Amanda Q Fairy. She brought him a basket full of puppies

Q was all “that’s not what I meant by torment Picard”

airyairyquitecontrary: Those hats look so fucking fascist, too. You don’t see hats shaped like that in a free society.

Exactly!

I guess it also comes back to the old debate of “Is Starfleet the military.” The answer depends on who you ask. I’m not too keen on the epaulettes for Starfleet dress uniforms either….

Terry Farrell on being cast as Jadzia Dax

WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOU SILLY, SILLY WOMAN
YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED
YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED AND HAD A CUTE UGLY BABY WITH WORF AND BEEN PART OF THE ENDGAME
YOU LEFT THIS TO DO A SITCOM WITH TED DANSON THAT NOBODY REMEMBERS
YOU SILLY, SILLY WOMAN

Which she then left and was replaced by Nancy Travis….

I tried watching it for a while but not even Terry Farrell could save this. Oh and it had Willy the Snitch and Shawnee Smith, annoying as ever…

airyairyquitecontrary said: Refreshingly, in ‘Orphan Black,’ Toronto just plays Toronto. My family and I were astonished. Science-fiction thriller adventure in CANADA?

Scott Pilgrim is shot and set in Toronto as well (I need to finish it, maybe tomorrow).

I highly recommend watching the 1-season series Charlie Jade (2005), Canadian-South African co-production Sci-Fi series set in Cape Town. It starts off a bit of a derivative of Blade Runner but it finishes magnificently.
