Some of our favorite quotes from Artemis ii so far:

"Copy. Moon joy."

"I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working."

"Houston, if you could give me about 20 new superlatives in the mission summary for tomorrow that will help out my vocabulary a little bit, that would be great. Thank you."

“If you’ve ever seen the top of the spotlight of the top of the Luxor at night in Vegas, this looks like what it wants to be when it grows up.”

"To all of you down there on Earth... we love you, from the moon. See you on the other side."

"We just went sci fi.

"It is so great to see Earth again. To Asia, Africa, and Oceania: we are looking back at you. We hear you can look up and see the moon right now. We see you too."

"We will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other."

“It’s a bright spot on the moon, and we would like to call it Carroll.” (The name of Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife)

"Amaze amaze amaze."

"I said that we do not leave Earth, but we choose it. And that is true."

"Christina has been sleeping head down in the middle of the vehicle, kind of like a bat"

"It's really fun to be floatin' around, it just makes me feel like a little kid."

"Trust us, you look amazing, you look beautiful."

"'Homo Sapiens' is all of us, no matter where you're from or what you look like. We're all one people."

"We're going to power cycle the toilet from the ground."

"I'm proud to call myself the Space Plumber."

"We were all eagerly awaiting the chorus." (After Mission Control cut off Pink Pony Club early when waking up the crew)

"Copy heart. Copy bracelet." (In response to Wiseman giving his daughters heart hands and showing them the bracelets they made him that he was wearing)

“Welcome back. We are still here. They are in space.”

"Copy. Bubble wrap nominal."

"We have rediscovered the chocolate snacks."

“The truth is, the moon really is its own body in the universe. It's not just a poster in the sky that goes by, it is a real place."

“We will build ships. We will visit again. We will construct science outposts. We will drive rovers, we will do radio astronomy, we will found companies.”

"I've seen a lot of new perspectives, but my perspective has not changed because I launched with the perspective that there is enough for all." (After being asked if they had a new view on humankind.)

"On behalf of all Canadians, we wanted some reassurances of your preferences for maple syrup over Nutella on your pancakes."

I'm of the opinion that Men in Black has a more interesting secret alien agency than Doctor Who currently does with UNIT, and if the show took like a handful of notes from those movies it would improve modern UNIT immensely.

Because in MIB they have agents, weapons, and protocols for alien threats, much like UNIT. But they are also shown doing the day to day work of coexistence. Issuing passports. Letting extraterrestrials work normal jobs. Having alien restaurants in the break room. Treating aliens less like an endless parade of invasions and more like… people. Weird people. With paperwork.

UNIT, by contrast, often feels like it exists only to react. Something crashes. Something explodes. Something threatens Earth. Call UNIT. Guns out. Rinse and repeat. It feels narrow given where Doctor Who as a whole has been heading.

They should be diplomats, administrators, and the poor bastards stuck mediating disputes between a shape shifter and their human landlord. Show me UNIT staff whose job is to make sure an alien living above a kebab shop is not accidentally violating three interstellar treaties.

And crucially, show me aliens working for UNIT.

They already have the perfect excuse sitting right there with the Vlinx, an alien intelligence quietly running logistics and analysis for UNIT, and the show does basically nothing with that idea. Lean into it. Make the Vlinx the tip of the iceberg, proof that UNIT is already multinational, multiversal, and quietly interspecies.

Also they're already doing the mind wipe stuff so like... let 'em do the rest.

If I were to stir my tea for an infinite period of time, would it eventually return to a milk section and a tea section?

The Captain and Her Captain is now updated - read Chapter 86

or go start at the very beginning where it's 2403, the Enterprise-G has just completed its 1st 6 month mission with Captain Seven in Command. Starfleet and the Federation are trying to rediscover their spirit of adventure and peaceful exploration. Good job the new Commander-in-Chief, one Admiral K. Janeway, knows a thing or two about that.

Or, what happens six months on from the final scene of the final episode of s3 of Picard for Seven and Janeway, with some attempt to explain how they got there, because I had questions. Lots of questions.

(actually has been for a few days but the flaming boomerang of adultness nearly reignited and in making sure it was merely the extremely well aimed boomerang of adultness that's no longer aflame I appear to have forgotten to mention it here....oops).

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you might like to either start at the beginning of this post picard star trek fix it through a J/7 everyone (well, all the women, - I have a type ;-) ) are happy finally lens, or quietly move on.... but do give it a go, it's apparently rather lovely according to the wonderful readers who are persisting with me :-)

[tryingtoavoidcapitalism]

see I don't think we talk enough about infinity.

specifically the fact that the current generally accepted theory of the universe is that it is infinite and expanding.

because infinite universe means somewhere in it there is a clone of you.

not only that but somewhere in it there is a clone of you who lives forever with the people they love learning everything they want to learn who has never had any needless suffering.

somewhere in the universe all of us live happily ever after.

and I feel this is not discussed nearly enough.
