Reposting these for posterity.

I just watched the TNG episode “Who Watches the Watchers,” and I must say, it was one of the finest pieces of science fiction I have ever seen, and one of the most important messages in all of fiction itself.

It moved me nearly to tears.

It was nice to see the promotion of knowledge, understanding, and the dispelling of superstition being lauded as the right, fair, and ONLY thing to do rather than nonsensical beliefs and fairy tales that only cause harm and hatred being “respected” for no good reason.

Excellent episode. One of my favorites.

One of the many things to love Star Trek for. A more or less similar idea is presented in one of the Deep Space 9 episodes, where Keiko (Miles O’Brian’s wife) refuses to teach children that the wormhole inhabited by strange aliens is not a wormhole inhabited strange aliens but the Celestial Temple inhabited by divine Prophets. Hell yeah.

Well, I’ll stop working in this drawing and I’ll show you my MUPirate Janeway. It’s a redo of another drawing I wasn’t happy with. This drawing took me forever to finish, well, not exactly to finish because I would like to add MU Seven behind Janeway.

I hope that you’ll like it and Do not use it without permission and do not repost it, we have a nice reblog button that loves to be clicked on. 

YOU EVEN GOT THE HANDS RIGHT!!! WHAT KIND OF BLACK MAGIC DO YOU POSSESS? WHO DID YOU SELL YOUR SOUL TO?!!

Obligatory reblog.
