Jumping the shark

Is this "jumping the shark" or "knowing your audience?"
- Good question. Let's have a lingerie boxing match episode between dax and 7 of 9 to find out.
  
  Isn't there some betazed tradition that could be hamfisted in to make them fully nude, all in the name of authenticity of course? Majel walked so they could rubn
  
  Oh fuck yeah Tsunkatse 2!
  
  I DEMAND EQUAL REPRESENTATION
  
  Throw some dudes in the lanes too.
  
  Seven could do it naked and win, because she doesn't give a fuck. Q2 got bored of her in 5 seconds because she was completely unfazed.
  
  Tasha Yar's Ultimate Mud Wrestling
- I'm thinking the latter.
  
  I still think about the episode where T'pol goes through pon farr...
  
  I'll be in my bunk
  
  Me viewing this image from left to right:
  Niiiice...
  Ohhh, even better...
  Ok, ok... I like where this is going...
  Uhh? Ruh roh raggy!
- Can't be knowing your audience, we never got to see Worf in that swimsuit
“Well. As long as it’s women we’ll allow it”

& in the same vein, a quote from famous transphobe Dave Chapelle : “I think gay sex is gross. Unless it’s lesbians”
- Pretty much the gay couple was originally supposed to be Bashir and Garak, but they were worried that anything involving penises is too gay for people in the 90's.
  
  Cardassians are lizard people, can we confirm they don't have cloacas?
I don't know whether to upvote or downvote this (j/k I almost never downvote but just go with the bit okay?), so here is a Reddit gif that somehow represents both:
- Your embed doesn't work for me.
  
  Seems like it's because you used http instead of https:
  
  Oh wow, it works fine for me on PieFed.
  
  Edit: also it works in Chrome but not Firefox Android, so it seems related to the method of access. Anyway thanks for bringing it to my attention!:-)
  
  I see both gifs fine from the connect app
- She’s high as shit so she’s holding upside down, that’s all.
  
  That must be it bc the color is all off...
  
  Also part of the joke is that any image from Reddit is somehow tainted and therefore a bit like a downvote in itself to have shared it? I dunno, maybe I need to be high(er) to understand that one better... 🤣
I think that empathy through horniness is still technically progress.

Edit: I have this ugly feeling that I just wrote the thesis statement for my entire stance on Star Trek...
- empathy through horniness is still technically progress.
  
  Can I make this into a bumper sticker for my car?
Somehow still less horny than TOS.
Network Suits: ... OK fine .. you can have your Dax sexy time stuff with Vanessa Williams on swimsuit planet ..... but you'll have to cut out all the Quark holosuite suggestive pornography episodes with Vulcan sex slaves, Klingon women in bikinis, Orion sex dancers and Bajoran orgies.
- Even the pudding planet episode?
  
  Especially the pudding planet episode.
- Wolfe: For this scene? Sure!
DS9 was wild
- DS9 was glorious
  
  DS9 was religious
Shut up. You had me at Vanessa Williams
They really wanted to use this scene in the episode where Crusher is fucking a ghost, but the legal department wouldn't let them.
- Hey you wanna get ghost-sued? Go right ahead.
Also Worf is a terrorist
- For what? Piloting while being Klingon?
  
  Not just that, he also piloted, and even captained, by being under the influence of Klingon!
"Uh-oh, the ratings just slumped - time to get T'Pol naked again."

[yes I know it's a different series]
Okay this is the first time I've actually been like "wtf"

What do you mean fucked her to death?! The hell is going on in Star Trek?!
