Dream team for pulling off an elaborate heist? (Can pull from any and all crews)

oh a dream team...

sisko: the leader. he organizes everything, times everything and plans for every variable. makes sure everyone knows whats what

uhura: the hacker/tech expert. she disables alarms and ensures everyone can communicate. she keeps track of the individual’s progress and comes up with the occasional witty retort

data: the safe cracker. knows billions of potential codes and has accounted for all potential problems that may arise. may stop to comment on art pieces during the mission.

geordi: i cant really think of a role for him specifically but it feels wrong to separate him from data

worf: the scout/protector: makes sure places are safe before entry. takes care of security and anyone else who might get in the way. most likely to complain about people not being quiet enough.

sulu: the driver. he knows every entrance and exit, knows exactly how and where to go. professional enough to NOT play phone games on the job, but he will talk to uhura more than he “should”. cooler than a cucumber.

they steal and repatriate items from western museums, along with the occasional van gogh to keep the operation running

garashir, AU where Garak is sent to contemporary (or not) Earth to do some reconnaissance before Cardassia moves in to take the unsuspecting planet over, and Bashir is the doctor who finds him after he's injured and takes care of him, hiding him from the government.

first of all, headcanon one is that garak is not sent to contemporary earth to do some reconnaissance, he is “sent” to contemporary earth to do some “reconnaissance.”

obviously garak knows this and he reacts by being characteristically depressive and self pitying.

headcanon two: julian finds garak asleep in the dumpster outside julian’s apartment building, clutching a dumpster cheeseburger. he had like, a little mobile base and a food replicator and shit but he pushed them into the ocean in a fit of self-destructive pique. unfortunately for garak, this did not actually bring him the sweet release of death, he is in fact a natural survivor. it just made his life harder and worse.

headcanon three: julian deadass thinks garak is a mutant komodo dragon until he gets his universal translator back online.

headcanon four: julian spent his whole childhood SUPER into ufos, but grew out of it.

headcanon five: garak was sleeping in that specific dumpster because he’s a stalker and an idiot

So I scrolled deeply into your MASH tag and at one point you said something about taking the laugh track off. Is that right, if you have the DVD you can watch it without? Because that sounds like a dream, like not having to deal with that every time Klinger comes on screen.

yeah dude, if you go into language options on the dvds there’s an audio track called “english without laugh track” (it’s also audio 2 if you’re in something like vlc where you can select the options from a right click). it’s fucking *amazing* - irrc the showrunners fought really really hard against there being a laugh track at all, so you can watch it the way they intended, which is sometimes very much Not A Comedy.

What IS John's immigration status I wonder? I figured he had handwaved it all away with magic, but then there's Ravenscar? Or does he just have a fake ID (would a mental health hospital run that through anything)? Also how did he pay for Ravenscar?

don’t get me STARTED on this but also i low-key believe record producer guy (bernie?) got him & the rest of MM O-1/O-2 visas Back In The Day and John’s not aware/doesn’t care that they expire and has just kinda been riding on it since then/handwaving it w/ magic. (technically you have to be EXEMPLARY for an O-1 but i doubt this ONE segment of immigration law is any more of a meritocracy than anything else so like -- whatever).

also Ravenscar is in Northern England (I mean in comics canon but also p sure in show canon?) so. I’m not like an expert on the NHS but I assume it was covered.

It’s any kind of health care John gets in the States (beyond Chas carefully tending to his wounds) that I worry about -- same for Chas and Zed when they respectively end up in the hospital??? like --they have to bail before the billings department tracks them down, presumably??? zed gets diagnosed with a BRAIN tumor. who’s paying for that MRI or w/e?????

This trend of hyper-realistic video games with characters who look just like their VA freaks me out whenever I see the actual person, I can't get used to it. I hope this doesn't spread to other industries :l

Most of the time I either already know the actor (like Ellen Page in Beyond: Two Souls) or I don’t know the actor but never see them so I never end up thinking about it, but the dude from Detroit: Become Human is the most surreal because I didn’t see him irl until after playing the game and then the first gifs I saw were where he’s in that ...cosplay, lmao and it’s so strange!! You don’t often get that feeling of character come to life.

I dunno too many other instances of it happening, usually the VAs don’t look much like the character, uhhhh and plenty of times aren’t the same race as their character. I know some games use real people as the models for the characters but it’s a different person than who actually plays them -- Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn, Chell from Portal and Dina from TLOU2 come to mind.

I think it was implied that Rey took the books before she left? I'm pretty sure there's a shot of them in a drawer on the falcon in the final scene. So. Who knows where that'll go.

oh lol? i didn’t see that bit did anyone else catch this??

once you've gone through all of Jeff's movies you should rank them based upon how much you as a lesbian liked them

manicpixiedreamalien replied to your post: To follow up on the mulaney confusion, (???...) as...

also, im not straight but is john mulaney really that implausible to be considered attractive

no he's definitely attractive! i just 1. amn't straight and 2. don't watch stand-up comedy for sex reasons even when i do find the comic attractive
