AKSHUALLY, LaForge doesn't view through the visor with his eyes, he has special implants that connect directly to his nervous system. It was these implants that allowed the Romulans to subvert him. Because Wesley does not have these implants, *nerd snort* this meme is factually incorrect and makes no sense

It feeds into those red dots on the sides of his head, right?

Thank you so much for randomly saying this. I'm not a native English speaker, but listening to an audio book where that expression is sometimes used. I never knew what the fuck temple meant in that context.

I actually thought it might be a euphemism for genitals, virginity, sacrifice at temple or something like that.

I finally understand, I am finally free.

Because it's second dual purpose is to hold the visor in place. It does it horribly considering how many times it was removed.

Because instead of just growing your beard out for a couple of days and trim it to be like Will Rikers, you plaster on some fake sideburns and hope nobody notices. Perfect strategy, I don't know how that would ever not work perfectly.

To be fair, no one did notice… until he successfully stole the Defiant, at which point it didn’t matter any more.

It could take a couple months to grow out a beard like that...but I thought they had a beam made hair grow or something.

Now for the very dark inference we can make here: Geordi had his visor on this setting while he was hanging out with Wesley.

Ironically, his nuts have the tattoo for what he yells when someone rings his office door.

What, you assume because there are only two series regulars on the show who are women and only his mom is a redhead that this is... Yeah, you know what, that checks out

Swing and a miss by a couple decades too. But good job trying to infantilize criticism. I know it probably hurts when people point out flaws or things you don’t understand in things you like.

So there's real age/mindset-based tension in the trek community over series and/or generational themes - that a joke about nudity is a huge red flag?

The nudity is not the red flag, the everything else included/implied by the comic that’s wildly inappropriate and gross(which is a common aspect of boomer humor), especially for Star Trek, is the red flag.

Can you expand a bit? My understanding of boomer humour is that it's sexist or racist, but I'm not seeing it here
