Finally: the Star Trek x 40k crossover we didn't need nor wanted.
I really hate what magic has become: pop culture bukkake in card form.

I feel bad for you, but I do enjoy watching MTG descend into gay nigger status because all the kids who played it in my high school were fucking douchebags.

And now you know why we were such based Trek CCG enjoyers and am still a bit bitter at MTG doing this.
One might even say the TCG wars back then were my own personal Vietnam...
(Note: that is a moviebob reference. I do not actually think a bunch of high school kids playing with cardboard are like a war.)

I hate MTG in general because I've never played a single game that didn't end with me wanting to punch a nerd.
But I remember doing this kinda thing with nomic cards back in college like 20 years ago, deliberately dumb shit like Robocop vs Terminator vs Johnny 5: the Card Game or whatever and they'd typically evolve into pretty rad and unique games (the way it works is you start with decks of blank cards and no rules, and your turn can be either fucking with the rules/making a new card or playing according to the current rules, so it eventually settles into a stable/balanced ruleset because you don't want to own yourself in the future by being cheesy). I still have one of the sets that turned out particularly fun.
But that was buddies just trying to make a cool way to pass time, not some corpos fucks cynically seeking quarterly profits by slapping Ninja Turtles into their game about wizards at the expense of sabotaging their own players in the future when they inevitably lose the license.

No one else was crackheaded enough to make a real vampire detective series. Like an actual vampire cop who has to clock in at the precinct every night. He's got the fat angry lieutenant barking at him, some comic relief partner and he’s gotta stand there reading Miranda rights to perps while his fangs are poking out. And he only works the night shift because he’s “allergic to sunlight.”If I were a millionaire I’d bring back Geraint Wyn Davies like they did with Trevor Slattery in Iron Man.
Catherine Disher looks like a zeppelin now but she's still acting.
Season 1 has episodes even Voyager would pass on.
Season four is where it really turns into self parody though. the peacekeepers have guns trained on the hero and then he just moons them and walks away, like they're Walgreens security guards.
Ah, the psychic clam fart episode. Evey time this puppet farts the hot lady also farts! Nothing weird about that.
Chiana literally wants to bang 300-year-old ladies because her only character trait is being horny all the time.

I know this post is a joke, but the MTG players at my high school were not into Trek or really anything fun. They were sweaty assholes who took card games way too seriously and acted like playing MTG made them cool.

It was the weirdest thing. MTG was massively nerdy, but everyone who played it was a giant unlikeable asshole.

I can name like 3 games (dead or alive) that you could do this in now.
Oh it wasn't entirely a joke. There was a group of us that played trek (and other stuff), and a group of them that played MTG. We would sometimes crossover (I'd borrow decks now and then and join in the multi-player brawls) and there was some childish ribbing and mocking.
Anyone not named moviebob would have grown out of it by now. But it is surprising to me how wrong it feels to see Trek come to MTG.
Like if you suddenly heard the bloods and crips were doing a collab album.

Someone mentioned the RoboCop TV series [filmed in Toronto]. There was also a sort of compelling story-wise but awful effects having “Prime Directives” mini-series [also filmed in Toronto] that featured GWD as a crazed heavy. He was also in an episode of the Vancouver-based Highlander series.

I just watched that TekWar retrospective, the acting is not the worst in the world (Shatner aside). The problem is nobody can talk like a normal person for more than 2 seconds, every conversation is about “the Downtown Burbank Sentient Parking Meter Uprising”.
I have a soft spot for Canadians, it feels like they’re permanently stuck in cop shows or prairie dramas. I see you, Missy Peregrym.

Take a real example: they try to get across that politics is all theater in the future, so some woman greets the candidate with "ah I see you got shin cybernetic extension implants and cortical Iris coloring", like why do they have to talk in this weird jargon soup?

Are you, by chance, an aficionado of “The Agony Booth”? That is, as it existed before it became one of the first websites to be infected with terminal Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Shatner seemingly likes absurd technobabble a lot. I don't blame him. I like technobabble too, but it should be delivered by sexy alien waifus.
