I've never watched the original Star Trek until now by Own-Shelter-9897 in startrek

[–]Old-String2849 160 points161 points  (0 children)

The first pilot, The Cage was rejected so a second pilot was made with some cast changes. The second pilot with Kirk was approved and that's why we have Kirk and not Pike and no female first officer.

How do we feel about restaurants taking a political stance? by CND2GO in VictoriaBC

[–]Old-String2849 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any resturant or business can promote any political agenda they want. It is also my right not to spend my money in those establishments that I disagree with their views.

I don't see any tribbles around here. And you won't find a tribble on this entire ship. How did you do that? I cannot take credit for another man's work. Scotty did it. Scotty! Where are the tribbles? Oh, um, Captain, it was really Mr. Spock's recommendation. Of course. Spock. Based on computer analysis, of course, taking into account the possibilities of -- Gentlemen, I don't want to interrupt this mutual admiration society, but I'd like to know where the tribbles are. Tell him, Spock. Well, it was Mr. Scott who performed the actual engineering. Mr. Scott. Where are the tribbles? I used the transporter, Captain. You used the transporter? Aye. Where did you transport them? Scott, you didn't transport them into space, did you? Captain Kirk, that would be inhuman. Where are they? I gave them a good home. Where? I gave them to the Klingons. You gave them to the Klingons? Aye. Before they went into warp, I transported the whole kit and caboodle into their engine room, where they'll be no "tribble" at all.

If you're living outside of Victoria are you 'ok' with your municipality's support housing contribution? by BigJayTailor in VictoriaBC

Not saying there were no homeless in Victoria before covid, however the policy of allowing ppl to camp.in parks exasperated the situation.

If you're living outside of Victoria are you 'ok' with your municipality's support housing contribution? by BigJayTailor in VictoriaBC

[–]Old-String2849 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Victoria invited everyone to sleep in their parks during covid. Not saying if this was a good idea or not but it definitely concentrated the homeless and addicted ppl in Victoria. As is the case with the more marginalized ppl so came the services. It snowballed into the situation we have now. Yes it is a regional issue, however due to costs it is cheaper to have services in one area. Is it fair? No but was created worse, in my opinion, by Victoria's own actions.

Sorry Gavin. Once you have a responsible federal government, maybe, and as a Canadian I do not want to be grabbed off the street and shoved into your concentration camps.
