There certainly isn’t much breathing room in that playset
That’s what makes it tense. One etiquette faux pas and next thing you know you’re bathing the playset in ketchup and pepto bismol.
That kid and the toy General Chang is giving me 80s flashbacks of something I barely remember
1995!? … that’s also surprising because I really felt like it was the 80s. All I remember was that it was all on fuzzy over the air channels on a 20" CRT, which we were still watching in the 90s.
Man that feels like a hundred years ago.
My thought exactly. There’s no way TOS movies were being made in the 90s. That just feels wrong.
From this point on … I guess we can just generically say ‘in the last century’ or ‘the previous century’ … fewer people understand 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s and just see it all as ‘the last century’ … which makes it sound and feel like ‘a hundred years ago’.
God I feel old … I guess I am :(
I work with people now who were born in the 21st century. I guess I’m old now too :(
Can’t speak for the figure but the kid is from Transformers commercials.
The commercial is heard better in its original Klingon.
Fun fact, Marc Okrand designed the Klingon language intentionally without the verb “to be” before Star Trek VI came out and it caused him a massive headache.
intentionally without the verb “to be”
[cries in Romance language learner]
Came here for this reference, was not disappointed.
That line always annoyed the fuck out of me. They couldn’t make up an equally vitally important Klingon author and then compare them?
Nope, just a throwaway joke.
I interpreted it as cultural appropriation and how primitive Klingon diplomacy was that they’d make the claim directly to the people they’d appropriated from.
That’s really nice, I like that interpretation a lot! Sort of “This man wrote so well he might as well have been a Klingon.”
We also know that the singular great writer in the Federation’s time is Beverly’s grandmother.
Some kids want tea parties, some kids want tense diplomatic dinners. To each their own!
