Next time I do a rewatch, I think I’m going to take inspiration from those green-skinned folks.

(Sorry, Tendi. Your great-grandma was cool. But back then they had a reputation for a reason.)

I've seen an AI slop thumbnail that made me laugh hard. It wasn't on Paramount, it was a weird illegal movie streaming channel and they had a movie about the assassination of JFK. The thumbnail was a sniper on a roof, pointing his gun at a parade and the sniper had... the face of JFK himself.

Please stop paying Paramount. Hell. I’m pretty sure Roddenberry himself would have supported sailing the high seas at this point

That's literally just a replicator for copies of Star Trek!

It's not just Star Trek that they're doing this with. My mom was browsing Paramount+ yesterday and the image for Ghosts UK had a character neither us had seen before.

Edit: The Spongebob icon is even worse. His face is just a mouth.
