Swallowing the "Little Book of Calm" often requires a career change.

Continuity schmontinuity.

Also: It's totally ok to troll the fanbase by hinting at and not resolving how tf they survived.

You can still enjoy Pee Wee's Playhouse many years after wondering why they took it off in the first place, growing older and realizing why (we won't go into that here), and also realizing how strange it is for a character in the show to call out to the main character to quote "sit on me!", which I dunno, may qualify it as a sit-com.

Also you can watch any number of spinoffs that does not include said character.

Actors actually do recover and find better roles after, for instance, playing Cowboy Curtis on Pee Wee's Playhouse.

(Sidenote: Was that a sitcom?)

It occurs to me that maybe not everyone can do this

DVDs of shows where the lead actor and shows namesake, end up in bad sex scandals go on sale for really cheap later, and you can still enjoy them; if you just don't think of the actor and the character as the same person.

Real life bars aren't actually as fun as Cheers.
Actually, they're kinda depressing.

Just because Alex Keaton is out numbered on a Liberal show, doesn't mean he can't influence the stupid voting practices of adults in the United States for the next 43 years.

Mr Kotter was never going to release the Epstein files.
What were the sweathogs involved in after the cameras were turned off?
Why does John Travolta remain silent?

The U.S.S. Toilet Flapper, laughingstock of Starfleet.

@maxleibman LOL

Talk about over designing and already functioning product to get a new revenue stream.

@r3t3ch No joke. It was part of a package with a fill valve, but the flapper in the toilet that needed the fill valve was also overly complicated in a different way, so I just left it alone for now.
@maxleibman gilded or cheap-o, they'll all die in the same amount of time. Too damn funny.

@r3t3ch @maxleibman

It's actually pretty good. I have switched to Fluidmaster even though I don't use the dubious features because they just work.

@maxleibman

The registration number “NCC-Min 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Max” was also ill conceived.

@davidhmccoy @maxleibman C’mon, only valid registrations are number 1 or number 2
@maxleibman Gives new meaning to "Captain's Log."
@maxleibman And let's not mention the Cling-Ons....
@maxleibman Definitely a Miranda class toilet flapper, there.
@maxleibman
What camera did you use? I admire how well it shows cosmic background radiation!
@blausand You’ll have to ask Mr. Data for the sensor algorithm he used.
@maxleibman What the hell is a "toilet flapper"? Asking for a (European) friend, of course... I have never seen something like that before...

Ahhh.... I see ...: "Toilet flappers live a pretty harsh life; they spend most of their time submerged under water, exposed to bacteria, chlorine, and corrosive minerals like calcium and magnesium."

@maxleibman It is command division, at least.
@maxleibman lower ducts! lower ducts! lower ducts!
@maxleibman a venerable and storied craft, vital to the functioning of star fleet!
@maxleibman hey @cenobyte can you math up an Alcubierre Metric that resembles a toilet flushing?
@maxleibman @gannet straight out of the Lower Decks opening credits.
@maxleibman I believe the ST spinoff series, The Upper Decker, was set on this vessel.
@maxleibman I now want this as an actual design. We can call it the USS Bazalgette, as a winking reference to Joseph Bazalgette
@maxleibman Captain! That’s not a photon torpedo!
@maxleibman
this is even funnier than all of those "jefferies tube" jokes at the academy. :)

@maxleibman

did someone already use "star shit enterprise"?

@noondlyt my great-grandmother use to mutter "Star drek" when I was trying to watch ds9 which was at the same time as her Mexican soap opera

@maxleibman

I haven't kept up with the latest Trek, I assume NCC has been replaced with MIN and the numbering's gotten a bit outta hand. MIN-123456789 seems like an odd ship designator.

@maxleibman …where one’s StarFleet’s career goes down the drain?
