the fact that the camera crew seemed to like focusing on them being intimate makes my brain say, "this must be important to 23rd century humans in some way".

Might I also suggest that another possibility is that until very recently, there has been so little gay representation on TV that merely depicting it at all, as Discovery has done, can feel jarring to some.

A friend of mine was complaining about the same thing back on Season 1, but I asked him if it had been a hetero couple shown brushing their teeth together or having a smooch would he have minded and he admitted probably not. We chalked it up to just not being used to seeing that with a gay couple on tv.

Just a thought.

Precisely, the grammar of cinema is not 1:1 with real life.

That said, I don’t mind making light of it for meme chuckles.

I just popped into the comments to make sure this had been posted. Good work, carry on.

Are you sure it’s not just for the upcoming Voyager documentary? Kind of like how they did a few select scenes of DS9 for What We Left Behind?

I’d cry too. Have you ever used pans seasoned over years? I actually flinch every time I see that scene in the movies now that I’ve seasoned pans of my own. 😢

For those that don’t know, this is here because Robert Picardo was the voice of Johnny Cab in Total Recall. This is a choice deep cut! 🤌

her reaction of shock is genuine because she was told up until that point that it would be Nichelle who was starring in that scene and was genuinely surprised to be across from Walter Koening instead.

While she may have been told Nichols would be in the film when she signed on, she didn’t fucking “find out” when they were literally filming the actual scene, you absolute pancake. That is not even remotely how film production works.

The surprise would, at the latest, have happened the day before when Goldberg might have noticed Nichols wasn’t on the call sheet, but in reality probably far before that during the normal course of production communications. Jfc

Oho, this sounds interesting. Thanks for mentioning.

Mine did this too. Just checked battery graph after seeing this and it’s the same as the article, weird!

This of the kind of accurate pedantry I can get behind.

The older I get, the more I appreciate Neelix.

There are different unions for different trades. Stop trying to sound so smart, you keep failing.
