Did anyone else find it odd that Q opens with French while coming back with a Mariachi Band? No love for “No, Capitan! Estoy de vuelta”!

    You see, they are not announcing the sun is back, they’re essentially screaming “I wanna fuck, anyone down?”

    What I do is wake up an hour before my alarm, say “that’s a ok amount of sleep time left.” Then, because I’m anticipating the alarm now, I wake up 10 minutes after that. Then 10 minutes after that. Then 10 minutes after that…

    The fucking gulls nest on my roof kills me every morning. Pretty birds but dang do they like to yell.


    I always assumed that Q opens with French with Picard because Picard is French. Although the close proximity of Spain to France, and the general similarity of romance languages, I agree, the Spanish would have worked better.

      Weren’t the French eradicated or something in their version of WW3 and whatever was left were just descendants going back to rebuild? Or am I remembering it wrong?

        All nations were eradicated.

        People still kept language.

    Why didn’t they just kick Q out the airlock? That’s what the SGC did, worked a charm

      Q doesn’t just have powerful fake-god-like powers, he has actual god-level powers. He can simply decide to be totally unaffected by a simple pull of a vacuum. He’d laugh at your attempt while standing there stationary

        He literally teleported the entire Enterprise across the galaxy with the snap of his fingers (or what ever it was, it’s been ages), waved to the borg, and went back. He might go out the airlock just to wave at you from outside to mock you before teleporting back in.

        Though he did have a penchant for theatrics, so he’d probably send the captain out the airlock instead, literally let him die in front of the crew, and bring him back aware of the experience (at least early Q, before humans grew on him)…

      As others have said, Q is an extra-dimensional being, airlocks and the ship and the vacuum of space only exist to him as a concept. There’s not really anything any human could do to harm him; they’re not our gods but the Continuum definitely has god-like powers and there’s only a handful of species on-par with them.

      I’ve purchased a fan for white noise and it works like a charm almost all the time :) I got used to having it going within a single night and now it seems to be a signal to my brain that it’s bedtime.

        I love my sound machine and agree. A bit of nice white noise in a cool dark room and I’m out in a few minutes.

      Did I read something about the silence earplugs offering not being ideal for sleeping over the long term?

      Course if so may well be outweighed by consequences of interrupted sleep

    It’s the alarm that’s wrong, keeping you in an unnatural corporate rhythm. Be free, return to birb, nap whenever.
