I'm very unclear on what exactly makes "transporter credits" or "labor vouchers" different from "money."

...to the point that they somehow got away with giving Quark, of all characters, the moral high ground when criticizing human history.

Honestly, your "the most stable and ethical expression of capitalism" thesis has made me realize just how right Quark was. With humanity, the wealth gained through unchecked capitalism inevitably gets parleyed into political power that destroys the free market that enabled it in the first place. For Ferengi society to be stable, that dictatorial tendency would have to be absent, which means they really are better.

Doesn't count unless you're actively commissioned/enlisted in Starfleet, though.

Either the dude who played T’kuvma had no time to practice Klingon or he had a truly terrible false teeth set that made it impossible for him to speak Klingon.

Hey now, don't be ableist against Klingons with speech impediments! \s

Honestly, I think a bunch of people (myself included to a degree) got so upset over the Klingons in disco that they’ve collectively decided anything after that is shit.

My nutrek hate is way more about JJ's galaxy-wide plot holes than it is Disco Klingons.

This post has a distinct lack of whales, nuclear wessels, and people trying to talk into computer mice.

The kitschy cartoon style is cool. I’m from the era, so it’s nostalgic for me :^D

The term you're looking for is "Limited Animation"

I'd never heard of it, but now I do too.

I wish I still had my 1000 RLX.

Ensign First Officer Captain Tilly… That series is hard to enjoy...

Much like the 2009 movie.
