‪I went to prom with a gay guy too. It was the best school dance I went to because of it. Beaumont courts probably haven’t change since Andrew was there. The best thing my parents did was get me the fuck out of Beaumont before I was a week old.

This was hilarious. Liz, wish I were your therapist. What a deep dive we would need to do. That sounded dirty but YOU started it!

I volunteer as tribute! Omg that cracked me up!

As you said, this was a very heavy-handed episode - making me wonder if the writers were still on strike and it was written by a producer or two. That said, I would much rather have gotten your take on ST:TNG S2.E9Measure of a Man, where Data chooses to resign rather than be dismantled by an inadequately skilled 'scientist'; or, even better, ST:DS9 S5.E16 Doctor Bashir, I Presume, where we see a Starfleet Admiral judging a civilian case against Julian Bashir's parents for getting him genetically modified. The DS9 example says rather more about the Federation and its decline into a military dictatorship than I think the writers expected.

Strange New Worlds is set in 2260. Does Liz think courtroom procedures won’t change in 237 years? How are they different now from the late 1700s? Huh? Huh? Huh? I’ll bet they would have laughed at how we do things today! Also did either of you come to my concert Saturday at the Meyerhoff? Huh? Huh? Huh? You would have been proud having a listener like me!

I think many of us would contribute to her therapy copay! 🤭

"And you call yourself a Star Trek fan."—Some jerk gatekeeper, probably. The chair with the light disk was a reference to the Original Series episodes Court Martial and Wolf In The Fold. The latter established that it is indeed a lie detector.

C’mon

The best mock terms Eva! Spock Zero Spockoff , space schtettle to the space ghetto 😂😂
