I like All Systems Red because SecUnit is having a bad day at work and Preservation crew is discovering the horrors of corporate slavery

Just wanna take a moment of appreciation for what I saw at my local Barnes & Noble today

#the sudden humour in these books is so startling but I love it #also just finished Nona and I don't know what happened but also auuuuugh #the locked tomb

the space seed episode of tos where they find khan and the ss botany bay is so funny because right off the bat you have kirk being like "yeah let's get that historian whats-her-name out there, maybe she can be useful for once" and it's like WOAH what's up with the liberal arts hate?? why is kirk being such a bitch to this lady for no reason. then you meet her and she's fucking obsessed with historical strongmen to the point of covering her walls in her own fanart. she lives on a spaceship in a utopian technofuture and she sleeps surrounded by busts of kings on purpose. her vibes are fashy and kirk is right to be a bitch, actually.

then they get to the botany bay and she's immediately driven to distraction by how horny she is for ricardo montalban under a thick layer of extra-dark foundation. sorry i'm gonna compare montalban with and without the makeup because it is SO distracting

also she refers to sikhs in the past tense implying that at some point in the last two hundred years there was a genocide that they're just glossing over. since she also calls them a warrior race it's also possible that she's just racist and somewhere on board the enterprise there are sikh crew members who dislike her as much as kirk does.

anyway you can assume that this is her first actual away mission and she fumbled immediately because she was so hot for khan but it's much funnier if this isn't the first time this has happened. every time they have to interact with a historical earth artifact she gets so horned up thinking about being a tradwife that she's rendered speechless. spock stays polite but kirk can't stand her. by the time kirk found out she was the type of person to paint her own portraits of napoleon and roman emperors to hang in her quarters it was too late to send her back and request literally anyone else. he's supposed to court martial her but offers to let her stay on fashy eugenics planet just so he won't have to keep her on his ship anymore. it's unclear if he lets her take her paintings or jettisons them into space.

You know, if she hadn't completely fucked up her job in this episode, one suspects her career would not have survived The One With the Nazis from the next season

For the record, Marla McGivers is a character who really got redeemed the Khan audiodrama.

unamccormack

Seconding the recommendation for the Khan audio which is terrific.

#will have to check out the audio #because yeah TOS McGivers was the future equivalent of someone who becomes a historian just so they can be horny & weird about Nazi tactics #star trek

Can you hear the deer deterrent (high pitched screeching, not the low rumble) in this video? I was on a house tour and was the only one out of dozens of people who could hear it, it drove me insane. I’m assuming it’s more audible to younger folks?

i just think it's neat that odysseus gets put in a position where he has to kill his child to avoid going to war and he can't do it and then agamemnon gets put in a position where he has to kill his child to go to war and he does it

i don't think i've seen anything on taskmaster more satisfying than watching armando iannucci kick alex horne's ass in a task that literally made every other contestant violently angry at him. it was incredible.
