    I don’t know if I’ve ever actually seen the episode, but I was listening to a podcast where they suggested that this Magic: the Gathering card was perhaps a little too esoteric:

    And I wondered if maybe Lemmy had prepared me a little too well for the Star Trek set.

      Ha, I suppose we should remember that most people aren’t existing in a daily flood of Star Trek memes… The poor bastards.

        I’m just impressed the MtG designers understood the assignment this well to include memes like this. And happy I can appreciate it even if I haven’t seen all the episodes.

        Dathon also has his own card. I spoke to someone at the prerelease who said he was going to build a Dathon deck, and for the duration of the match he’d only speak in metaphors.

      Probably, but that’s what’s great about this community. I’m in a club with an elder Zoomer whose name is Ryker. He’s just the right age to have parents who grew up with TNG, but people think I’m a nutcase when I call him Number One.

      But, here, I can be understood.
