LIVING OUR BEST STAR TREK LIVES or REVISITING THE PAST TO SEE THE FUTURE

I am currently watching all of TNG in sequential order. We are at S5E26. It has been ENGAGING to say the least. A few things:

1. Trek doesn't give a fuck about inconsistency. the keystone cops of the federation bumbled their way into saving the whales by warping around THE SUN in stolen a KLINGON BIRD OF PREY owned by Doc Brown. from then on the time has time travelling capability AND a cloaking device. TNG Enterprise ( s7e5 ) had to  borrow a device from the Klingons during some Romulan kerfuffle. BULLSHIT

2. guinan. i personally think she could have been a bit more helpful.  

3. Riker is a dog.

4. there's obviously a lot more but i just bored myself into stopping at this point.   

The best thing about Trek is that it showcases the best it could be in the future with still allowing for human idiocy. replicators changed it all. imagine living in a world with out realtors. i can't wait for the future. 

WORKING AT THE MARKET HAS BEEN MESSING WITH MY MIND. 

I enjoy it but can't help but break it down. Have my experiences been so varied that I am no longer able to see things simply and without cross examination? very possibly, but i still retain the ability to recognize that. bully for me! I simply observe a lot. This place is has somehow existed outside the regular world. It operates like a grocery store from another time but still current. I can't explain it right now. (*Edit 8/31 ) It is a borg grocery store. hurtling through time and space assimilating what it needs to stay alive and in many senses thrive without any understanding of it's current place in the universe. 

In school, when we were younger, we would write on our notebooks like our ancestors did to this door. That thing is a fucking cave wall.

 werner herzog amazing. 

when i was a child, my crew and i would sneak into the back door of this place and run around in the basement. we'd steal what wasn't tied down. we wern't into beer then or we'd still be drunk and rich. it was a dungeon. it still is. the cash registers that took our change in exchange for candy are down there. slowly being forgotten.
