    (That there is Kirk Thatcher, who wrote and performed the punk song in the movie. He’s also a prolific writer and director, having done a ton of stuff with The Muppets and Mystery Science Theater 3000.)

    You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend.

    Points for TOS punk.

    Unfortunately, minus points for AI generation.

    That will be . . . eleventy points, please.

      This was a meme from about 2 years ago, so I’m not certain it was AI generated back then, but I can’t promise that.

        Doubt the heads were, but the lettering on the clothes is textbook AI slop.

        Besides, in that episode, McCoy had the mohawk.

          Just looks like punk/metal fonts printed/embroidered on uneven surfaces. I am not getting an AI vibe at all

          EDIT:

          Knockoff or something of Kirk’s jacket:

            No, you’re right - it looks like Spock’s image is reversed for some reason, but on zooming in I can read everything on Kirk’s so - yeah.

            AI objections withdrawn. Full points restored.

            As you were.

              Ah, I can see how not realizing Spock was reversed might lead you to believe the text is AI.

          None of that lettering looks AI generated. Which one are you talking about? I think it’s just a good photoshop. Look at Kirk’s shirt. It has really light lettering of “Slash” or maybe something else (hard to tell since his vest blocks the whole word) on a light background. I don’t think an AI could do that.

            It’s too old for good AI generation anyways. It’s >2 years old.

    I’ve always loved the punk aesthetic, and I wish it would make a comeback.

    Okay, now I can see how William Shatner was hot. It all clicked.
