Episode 55: Pithy Shakespeare Quote Title

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

It's the end of an era, as Trek wraps the last collective outing of the TOS crew and the Klingon/Cold War metaphor all at once in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The Klingon Empire is about to collapse, and a hasty peace summit is arranged. But old habits die hard, and folks on both sides of the aisle are terrified of what peace may mean...

Also this week: Chancellor Gherkin, racism everywhere, and geKNEEtals.

White liberal vibes

You know, the other day, I was having a conversation with an old friend after her husband and I had gone out for a range day.

We were prepping food on their deck. I was grilling the meats because I don't care for professional sports, and thus I could stand to miss many major moments of whatever sportsball game was being watched inside, whilst simultaneously putting my modest background in sous chef employment to use for the first time in ages.

She and I discussed books we'd been reading recently, as their kids ran around swatting each other with toy lightsabers, and as a happenstance we wandered onto the subject of widespread illiteracy in the modern generation. This, of course, was accompanied by the requisite list of personal pet peeves with regards to poorly composed written communication (and a bafflingly coincident overreliance on such in digital format), the infectious rot played by social media in this trend, and the oft-confused distinction between reading a book yourself (like, you know, with your eyes) and listening to someone else read it for you.

One of the pet peeves mentioned by my friend was this unusual habit for a great swath of folks on the internet to write incomplete thoughts without context or punctuation, and expect others to understand whatever this unstructured nonsense is intended to convey. I recall chuckling at the time, as I've noticed this type of thing happening as far back as the MySpace days, and more recently across YouTube and Tumblr. My friend and I exchanged jokes, laughed, she sipped her beer, I sipped my bourbon, and around that time the potatoes were about done. So we went inside to eat.

I only mention this because it seems such strange luck you'd send me three words out of context like this in a puzzling display of the exact thing I was so recently laughing with my friend about.

I was a bit confused about how to respond at first, so I'll just say - whatever your intent - all three of those words are so utterly overused in today's world I'd regard them as having almost no remaining functional meaning whatsoever. I'll also recommend you do a bit of cursory research into where the term "liberal" originated, and a commensurate amount of research into just how many distinct ethnic groups the United States' federal government sweep under the umbrella label of "white" to get a sense of how hilariously reductive that term happens to be in a society that claims to care so much for so-called diversity. It's as stupidly, ridiculously oversimplified as the terms "Black", "Asian", and "Middle-Eastern".

All that said, hope you have a lovely night. Drink lots of water.

Mirror Universe Concept: General Chang

An accomplished warrior of the Klingon Empire, Chang is a patriot of his people and longs to see them endure. He has found worthy adversaries among the soldiers of the Terran Empire he has come up against. However, even he had become tired of war and sought a new path forward for his Empire, believing that the Klingons were wasting resources and endangering themselves with endless conflicts, especially following the destruction of Praxis.

Unfortunately, Premier Gorkon has refused to consider any peaceful solution with the Terrans, despite many attempts by Chang at advocating for such. His status as Gorkon’s Chief of Staff, a position well earned through years of battle, including several campaigns that were instrumental in the Klingons’ reclaiming of Qo’Nos and their wider empire, was not enough to convince Gorkon to listen. Disappointed but undeterred, Chang kept his eye open, waiting for his opportunity. It came when Terran admiral Cartwright contacted him and brought him into contact with Spock’s revolution. Once Spock’s reforms began, Chang was there to sue for peace so that the Klingon Empire could gain aid in reconstruction after Praxis. But Gorkon would find other allies just as his Chief of Staff began to collaborate with the Terrans, and he would be forced to chose between his duty to his leader, and his duty to peace.

Name: I.S.S. Enterprise (alternate) Registry: NCC-1701 Class: Constitution Class* Year: 2258 Affiliation: Imperial Starfleet Captain: Spock

Background: Terran Empire flagship, under the command of Captain Spock. Led the charge against the remaining forces around Qo'noS and planted the Imperial Banner. Spock personally executed Chancellor Gorkon when he refused to yield. Kirk, Scotty and McCoy meanwhile had taken a pair of shuttles back to Rura Penthe to track down Nero. By the time Spock had found out about Kirk had returned with the Narada, and was betrayed by the remaining bridge officers: Sulu, Chekov and Uhura all beamed aboard Kirk's ship and pledged allegiance to him. Kirk followed up by destroying the Enterprise and seemingly, Captain Spock. Uhura had been working with Spock and secreted him aboard while Kirk was distracted speechifying.
