Sulu just smoldering.

[-] Davel23@kbin.social 22 points 10 months ago

They're all wearing the wrong color uniforms.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 17 points 10 months ago

I found it!

It's Bones. Where are his feet? He's apparently wearing a skirt, but where does it end?

[-] TheMagicalTimonini@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

This has "this is the future that liberals want" kind of vibes.

[-] Speiser0@feddit.de 13 points 10 months ago

We all know the issues they're having because of the missing seatbelts. Now imagine someone of them wearing rollerblades.

[-] Algaroth@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Instant slap stick comedy!

Uhura in the Captain's chair. She should be on comms. Kirk is supposed to be in the chair.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 months ago

She is where she should have been from the start

WTF? Star trek casually normalizing the n word?

[-] ssfckdt@mastodon.cloud 1 points 10 months ago

@lugal I mean it's not *quite* THE n-word, although it's commonly discouraged, outside of the UNCF. in lincoln's time, it would have probably been seen as genteel. especially compared to whatever words Johnny Rebs would have used.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Isn't it just the female version? Like actor/ actress. It's dated now but I guess in the 60s it wasn't.

So it's even anachronistic for Lincoln to think it's a slur word.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

In Lincoln's time, 'Negress' would have been the genteel term. It was still fairly common in the 1960s, as was Jewess.

Look up "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" for a discussion of the fight to change the term from 'Negro' to 'Black.'

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Let me get that straight: Malcom X was about the time of TOS right? So he fought against the N word while Star Trek was like "let's join the other team"

I get that it was in discussion back then and the message "don't think too much about language" is one I agree with but maybe don't encourage people to use a word that the black community tries to eliminate

[-] ssfckdt@mastodon.cloud 1 points 10 months ago

@lugal Well, yes. This manifestation of Lincoln had been apparently living happily post-death on this planet and was aware of the changes to the universe somehow. So he was aware that language had changed since his time.

Certainly the word is discouraged now but it's not really at all at the level of the other N word.

(Uhura's response is an interesting one that doesn't resonate in the modern era, despite probably being considered akin to woke at the time, I dare say.)

[-] ssfckdt@mastodon.cloud 10 points 10 months ago

Uhura's on the Captain's chair
Captain's chair
Captain's chair
Uhura's on the Captain's chair
Captain's chair, Jim!

It's worse than that, there's Spock skates

Skates!

Sulu’s going Brokeback,

Brokeback, Brokeback

Sulu’s gonna get his back broke, Jim!

[-] 10_0@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

Ayyyyy the bottom guy is rizzing me up

[-] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

What's wrong with preparing for an away mission?

[-] demonquark@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Seriously, what is wrong with the picture?

I genuinely want to know what the expected answer is. Cause, I agree with OP. Not a damn thing is wrong here.

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 16 points 10 months ago

Well Spock wearing both rollerblades and boxing gloves is wrong. Have you tried boxing with rollerskates on? It takes the power right out of your punches.

[-] Snowplow8861@lemmus.org 1 points 10 months ago

Nobody happy. :(

[-] Andonno@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

There are three people wearing hats inside. That's all I can come up with.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Now I want a poster that just says "what's wrong with this picture"

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

“what’s wrong with this picture”

Well, for one thing, there should be a question mark.

Right;

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

One of the little jokes that I mainly tell for my own amusement. Always a pleasure to be caught in the act
