Freak Uncle every time, no questions, no substitutions.
For me, only because it seems he’s not true to period. Earlier Zefram was a 1960’s astronaut; a Steve Austin, or Buck Rogers.
This!! Science fiction is always about the real world, no matter what the setting.
Uhura the Communications Officer was a thing in TOS because radiomen were a big deal in WW2. By the time TNG came along, the ‘radioman’ wasn’t something contemporary audiences would relate to.
Although if you think about it, assuming he’s the same age as James Cromwell during First Contact, Cochrane would be about 17 at the moment.
Filter that into your assumptions about his music tastes…
Everyone knows that modern pop music is shallow and ephemeral, and that by your 30’s you’ve come to appreciate real, quality music made in the 50-70’s, like the 1960 Larry Verne classic “Mr Custer.”
People change over the course of a few centuries
Yeah, I guess. And then he gets to bang that weird alien, inside the body of that woman. I guess it’s technically a threesome, every time they do it.
I feel personally attacked by the second pic. Pls remove.
What if I go pick you up a couple 12-packs of Coors Light and a big grip of Slim Jims? Then we’re cool?
You had us at coors light.
Yeah but the slim jims are a nice touch.
Throw in a bag of pork rinds and we gotta deal!
Solomon Epstein, didn’t get past light speed, but kudos for going all in and sticking with the project.
I always wondered how people knew he succeeded, he literally yeeted himself into deep space.
reak Uncle, 100%, far more trustworthy in a crisis than Shiny, Well-Groomed Loner. He was really hateful to the space ghost when he first found out she wanted to Bev him.
EXACTLY. Uncle Zef never would have been an annoying square, like that.
Yes. He would have gotten some consensual noncorporeal lovin’ and saved the Federation Commissioner, too. Or at least figured out a way to get her safely on her way to therapy. There would have been 99% less whining, if Freak Uncle had been there.
Spot on.
