There should be a picture of each captain alone in their own flume.

Captain's Personal Log.

Followed by a second, supplemental log.

What's the ride called?

Edit: I'm an idiot

It's the Captain's Log Flume of course

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Usually some form of the name "log flume". It exists at most water parks.

Oh I should've specified, I meant the joke name of the ride like (this is the exact moment I realized I'm actually an idiot and missed the entire joke because it's a CAPTAINS LOG)

Oh, the "ride" is also photoshopped in there. Captain's Log Flume. It's easy to miss but on the front of the log.

This isn't helping my case for not getting the joke

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This thread might be funnier than the joke! And I like the joke.

Well I'll glad my blindness is bringing humor to someone besides myself

Stardate: 5.14.1632 people in line ahead of me. The crew is getting anxious.

Scott Bakula's there too, he's just occupying Shatner's body so you can't see him.

I feel like Sisko would be having more fun than that. Seems like a dude who'd be down with a log flume.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

He's missing a baseball game for this.

Why'd you have to put Sisko at the back? Just got done watching Far Beyond the Stars?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe he just didn't want to get his hair wet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, I think he just doesn't wanna be near Picard

That episode was excellent, probably in my top 2 or 3 of all trek.

I'm a white guy and I grew up in an all white town, never really knowing about racism until I moved out to university. I don't know how black people felt about it, but that episode made me feel a lot and I think it did a good job showing how unfair and arbitrary racism was. The scene with the cops was so awful and horrifying, and the editor trying to be reasonable but actually just enforcing racism was so frustrating and sad to watch. There's a lot packed into one hour.

Not a lot of TV makes you feel that way, I had to stop watching and sit with it after that one.

Looks more useful than the Captain's Yacht.
