Controversy erupts after Picard calls Romulans "Rihannsu"

[seriousfic]

A transcript from last night's debate for the office of Starfleet Chiefs of Operations.

Kirk: Oh, come off it!

Picard: That's their name for themselves. It's what we should call them.

Kirk: Picard being pretentious. There's a new one. In my day, we didn't have time to settle for the correct pronunciation of "Rihannsu" in-between fist-fighting Klingons and defeating Greek Gods.

Picard: In your day, people were afraid to use the transporters in case they were split into two separate beings, one good, the other evil.

Should be Kirk/Janeway vs Sisko/Picard... or Quantum Leap guy, though!

If you want to go for the full Sarah Palin analogy, it'd have to be Kirk/Troi. She's a counselor and she sits next to the captain!

... My God, you're right.

Troi ALSO is completely fucking useless, aside from her value as a fap object!

"I'm sensing hostility -"

"No shit! We're dealing with KLINGONS, you dumb fucking bitch!"

But McCain is not Kirk.

McCain is Jellico.

I'm not sure if it's possible for me to be a bigger geek.

I'm seriously contemplating writing an essay on how superheroes and porn are "meta-genres," whereas westerns are a "niche genre," using the DC Universe's inclusion of science fiction, fantasy, westerns and romance comics characters and continuities in the same shared universe as an example.

Don't flatter yourself. :)
