Dr Julien except when he built Zane or fixed him up after reuniting he would cackle and yell “ITS ALIVEEE- HE’S ALIVEEEE!!!!!” like Frankenstein

Zane finally understands Jay’s embarrassment with his parents. You love them, but that does not change the fact that your friends now call you Zanekenstein and are now trying to glue screws onto your head because of them.

I love how we all seem to have the same concept of how Showtime would work. I’ve seen 5+ posts already describing the exact themes of one of my in-progress fics for this ship and I’m like

So I'm dying of laughter, so in my Chip and Dale fanfic they have to go to the more seedier side of things,

Picture Husk. Bugs Bunny, Alastor, Oswald and Blitz playing poker in a casino as these two Detectives march in looking for Oswald to ask him questions and this group are just absolutely tearing into Disney and the shit they've been doing while tossing back drinks

That's not even mentioning Angel Dust and Betty Boop being friends working the streets with Holli Would and one of mine an OC called Simone Borg,

God this is why I love IRL meets Cartoon because of these moments

Elon Musk brain chip company gets "permission" to start experiments on humans!

Okay though, it’s canon that Bradward Boimler can teach the Kridge borg queen empathy and kindness so i think the ideal way to save earth and starfleet in general in STP is to call up Boimler wherever he may be and mail him to the queen’s ship and tell him to get on with it. 

The holo program was supposed to be impossible to beat and he did it, and i have Faith this not natural purple-ette can pull this off again.

the borg queen is like a cartoon villain to me i imagine she starts every day by rolling out of bed and saying shit like “bad morning my wretched minions 😈”

Alternate universe where Voyager was made a decade later and the production team ran an in-character Seska Tumblr. She gets so popular that she stays on as a regular reoccurring villain.

She still dies in Basics, part II, but keeps finding ways to come back (like the two canonical ways she comes back in this universe: a hologram and an alternate timeline).

She has an android body, she's got a time travel duplicate, the borg bring her back somehow and she's an evil cyborg now, they defeat that one and the borg just download her into another body, then she escapes the borg and has the Vidiians build her a new body, that one gets killed during an attempt to take over Voyager, the Kobali steal her body and bring her back to life (like Lindsay Ballard), she tries to use a psychic device to mindswap with Tuvok, she impregnates herself with Chakotay's DNA again (this is separate from when she mindswaps with Tuvok: Chakotay doesn't get Tuvok pregnant (it's Neelix instead)), she time travels from the post-endgame to try and stop Voyager from getting home.

She shows up in Picard as one of the ex-borg. And Prodigy as a crystalline being still in the delta quadrant. She's in both timelines of Discovery, and makes a cartoon cameo in Lower Decks, but she's an in-universe cartoon compared to the "real people" on the rest of the cast. It's meta.

Star Trek series rated by horniness (as rated by me, an asexual, so you know its objective):

Star Trek: The Original Series - what is there to say for the series that invented slashfic, fuck-or-die, and Thiess's theory of titillation in costuming? The universe is full of greased-up pecs and scantily clad women wondering what is this thing you call...love? It's easier to mention the episodes that *aren't* horny. 10/10, for how could it be otherwise?

Star Trek: The Animated Series - It's a Saturday morning cartoon series from the 70s, and yet... 3/10, for the surprising number of scantily clad muscular guys

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Oh, we *start* quite horny; Roddenberry is keen to let us know that the android has a penis in the second episode; but then Roddenberry dies, and by the final season even Troi is wearing a sensible duty uniform. 6/10 for Will Riker, though

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - We've got Quark's, where the women are scantily clad, the holosuites are for fucking, and the waiters give themselves ear infections from doing too much oo-mox on themselves. We've got Jadzia Dax, who has three hundred years worth of sexcapades in two genders and will tell you about them at the drop of a hat. We've got Bashir and his sad blue balls for the first two seasons. We've got Klingons breaking each other's clavicles to initiate coitus. And we've got an enemy power led by the perpetual mind-melting gangbang that canonically is the Great Link. 9/10

Star Trek: Voyager - Weirdly conservative in its sexual politics. I mean, it goes out of its way to stick poor Jeri Ryan in that body condom, and there's a whole episode about space whales wanting to fuck the ship, and another one about Janeway wanting to fuck an Irishman, and *two* episodes about Pon Farr...actually, you know what? 6/10.

Star Trek: Enterprise - You know what, let me tell you about this series; this series is like a 14-year-old asexual boy boasting about his supposed sexual conquests in the hopes that it will endear him to the cool kids. It doesn't work; there's nothing genuine about it and everyone knows it; no matter how many innuendos he throws in, it's clear that there's no joy in it for him and he'd be happier if he could just go off and read comic books. Secretly, he wishes his friends still wanted to play with action figures. -1/10

Star Trek: Discovery - The show presents us with wall-to-wall gays who just...never seem to shtup each other. Like, I of all people know that sex doesn't define queerness, but...really? I guess maybe they're afraid of being less than wholesome? Anyways, 2/10 for that time that the Emperor went off to fuck a couple of Orions in the middle of a dangerous secret mission on the Klingon homeworld.

Star Trek: Picard - A series so sexless that it can't even show its main canonical couple enjoying each other's company for more than 5 seconds each season. And yet the chaste Jurati/Borg Queen pairing manages to be the hottest thing ever in the history of fiction. Anyway, I guess they technically had Agnes sleep with Rios in the first season, so 1/10.

Star Trek: Lower Decks - Oooh boy, we're at the heavy hitter now, my god. Completely, unashamedly horny. Gene Roddenberry *wishes* he could have done that orgy scene that people on Twitter were freaking out about. 11/10

Star Trek: Prodigy- They're *kids*. 0/10

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Not really a lot, surprisingly given their TOS pastiche. Still, we get some stuff with Spock. 3/10.

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Jonathan Frakes guest stars in "Of Mouse and Man," episode 12 of the second season of Hill Street Blues (original air date February 11, 1982).

Frakes plays a low-level cocaine dealer who gets caught in a sting in the garment district and informs on his supplier on the advice of his deliciously sleazy lawyer (Jeffrey Tambor). Hill Street Blues was THE prestige drama of its day - think Breaking Bad but with a fraction of the competition. For several years running there was no point watching any awards shows because it was a foregone conclusion that it would sweep every category. You couldn't pick up a magazine without reading a feature about it or turn on the radio without hearing the theme song, which was a Billboard Top 10 single.

Other Trek connections under the fold:

"Of Mouse and Man" co-writer Michael Wagner wrote or co-wrote three episodes of The Next Generation and served as an uncredited co-producer on four.

Barbara Bosson plays the ex-wife of the lead character on Hill Street Blues; she also appeared in the Deep Space Nine episode "Rivals" as a Bajoran widow who partners with a con man to open a casino to compete with Quark's.

The overly militaristic Lt. Hunter is portrayed by James B. Sikking, who also played Lawrence Styles, the captain whose ship was stolen by the renegade Enterprise crew in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

We don't get to see the face of this TV reporter, but we do hear his voice; it's the voice of prolific voice actor Dan Gilvezan, best known for his work on such classic 1980s cartoons as Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends, Transformers, and GI Joe. In 2001 he provided voices for the video game Star Trek: Armada II.

Music editor Allan K. Rosen was also the music editor of the Star Trek: Borg video game.
