This is really making me rethink my stance on Abortion tbh.

There doesn't seem to be an indication of how far along this is. An embryo turns into a fetus at 10 weeks. Stupid healthline says the brain left and right halves of the brain don't develop until the third trimester. At that point abortion is reserved for severe birth defects and such.
looks like one of those ugly wii characters
Kinda reminds me of this martian had a lovechild with a Chucky doll
My first thought was the They Live aliens
face.
Do you want a banana? Peel it down and go mmm-mm-mmm-mmm.
but avocado
So you know those laws in some states where women need to be shown an ultrasound of the fetus before getting an abortion? Let's switch those to an MRI.
Ok, ok, MRI machines are expensive, there would be a long waiting list, and it's still unnecessary. But I'd laugh my ass off.
god, don't give them ideas, they'll be waiting 10 months before they're allowed to begin
Everything is funnier with googly eyes.
You think adults are prettier?
NSFW? This is hilarious!
Cast it into the fire!
My wife got a prenatal MRI as part of a scientific study, so I got to see my kid's MRI face. It's truly one of the ugliest pictures of him in existence
I usually can't tell what's going on in ultrasound photos. This seems much more effective at proving there's a baby in there
That's a bad reason. This is WAY better!
Aliens talk in TCP
I was gonna say they look like gowron but yours is even more accurate
Glory to you⦠AND YOUR UTERUS
I keep seeing this guy pop up in memes.
I've never seen Star Trek, but like... he makes me want to give it a go
Just be aware there are some high highs, but also low lows. And some of the lows have aged kiiinda poorly. But overall, Iβd say ST is super fun, and also generally holds true to the humanist (sentient-istβ¦?) vibe that TOS established and that TNG (imo) perfected.
Kelvinverse is just an action movie series though, and it canonically exists as a forked timeline, so you are free to outright ignore those in terms of lore (no not that one) if you want to.
FWIW, I think the memes do the character too much credit. Not that he's badly written; far from it. Rather, he's a shit warrior who pretends his political ambitions are honorable. Without going into spoilers, there's a little dialog scene late in DS9 that lays out how the Klingon Empire is not living up to its own values, people like Gowron are the reason, and Gowron himself needs to be gutted yesterday.
My biggest complaint with how the Gowron character was written was his final battle with Worf. He fought honorably with a Bat'leth. From everything we've seen about Gowron earlier in his presentation, he should have fought dirty, and with knives.
Glory to you...and your houssssse
If you do, start with TNG. And maybe even skip the first 3-4 episodes of that and watch them later
Wait wait wait, deep space 9 all the way! Rewatching now. Still amazing.
Hell, skip the first two seasons. If someone offered me $1M and I could never watch the first two seasons of TNG ever again, I'd take it without hesitation.
No, not even Measure of a Man. It's legally and philosophically nonsense.
Really? You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but imo Measure of a Man is an incredible acting showcase and a strong premise to display Federation values. Every time I've wanted to get someone into TNG, it's one of my first recommendations and it usually works. What are your complaints about it?
Right? Iβve always thought delving into the nuance of sentience and the potential legal conundrums posed by dated views and laws in that scope was absolutely peak Trek. Itβs about ethics and morality, and figuring out how to do the best you can, and afford sentience the respect that it universally deserves, with the knowledge that you currently have at hand. Itβs actually something of a trope in the ST universe. Literally every series in the franchise has at least one βcourtroomβ episode. While theyβre not all great, I think itβs a good tradition to uphold.
Legal Eagle covers the legal issues with it:

The whole trial probably should never have happened. Star Fleet implicitly accepted Data's self determination by accepting his application to the Academy. Plus, if Maddox thought positronic nets weren't a giant leap in artificial consciousness, why would he be so interested in Data at all?
The legal issues overlap with some of the philosophical issues. There's a long history of investigation into intelligence and consciousness, and none of it is on display in the episode. It's not even a very good introduction to the topic.
This is rather important to today's issues with AI. While I think current AI tech is vastly overhyped, some of the popular arguments against it are just bad.
Okay but have you considered that watching Picard argue that slavery bad is fun as hell?
Is there a recommended viewing guide somewhere?
I am off to sail the seas, it's a [space] pirate's life for me!
A blessed voyage
