First off: the alt text is basically half a strip by itself, but I decided it should stay as alt-text stuff because as much as I’m fond of our extra-fictional Ensign Kimberly Beethoven I’m not sure I want her slipping past the membrane separating alt-text dalliances from full-on Larp Trek Canon. Forever in the margins and the comment slashfic, our Kim, as it should be. And speaking of Larp Trek Canon, I feel like I’m gonna need to once again invoke the Golden Rule: if it didn’t happen before mid season 3 of TNG, it hasn’t actually happened. And might never happen. So when some of you are getting ready to be all “but Data does have tear ducts, he cries in Generations when it turns out Spot isn’t dead and he’s got the emotion chip and ergo pistols at dawn etc etc”, just stop and tie that pony up outside the Didn’t Happen, Might Never Happen Saloon and have a nice glass of paranarrative rotgut with me instead. Besides, a lot of things happened in Generations . William Shatner happened in Generations . I’m not sure Generations should be a role model, exactly.
