Star Trek: Discovery s2 will be 'more traditional' Trek

But still diverse, right?

[fluorescentbrains]

“[For season 2], we have a fantastic creative team in place, everybody knows each other,” said Harberts while speaking at the Television Critics Association winter press tour (via AV Club) .

“But we also have time [in season 2]—we have time to do things like more away missions, newer planets.

"These are stories that might fall a little bit more into a framework of allegory that people love to get from Trek. But we will always continue to have that overarching serialised thread.”

WE’RE GONNA GET THE CLASSIC GOOF ASS STAR TREK FILLER EPISODES WE NEED & DESERVE NEXT SEASON YES GOD

It probably says a lot about me that, rather than a teddy bear, my beloved stuffed animal as a child was a Tyrannosaurus Rex. 

“Do you want a teddy, sweetie?” -My mother 27 years ago. 

“T-REX!”-My 2 year old self. 

“A…T-Rex?”- My mildly confused mother. 

“T REX T REX T REX.” -my stubborn 2 year old ass, who’d been watching dinosaur documentaries taped off of PBS on repeat for six months straight. 

“Okay.” -My resigned mother. 

She then proceeded to make one because of fucking course they don’t have stuffed T Rexes at Target. 

I got him for Christmas. I named him T-Rex. I love him. He went everywhere with me. I threatened people I didn’t like by saying I would feed them to T-rex. He sits on my vanity now as a protector. I’ve carefully patched him a couple times with the leftover fabric from when Mom made him; she bought extra and saved it because she is a wise woman and Knew. 

“Why does your daughter have a stuffed dinosaur. Wouldn’t you like a nice doll or bear more?” -many, many people throughout my childhood. 

“Why’s playing with a stuffed bear better than a T rex. They’re both apex predators.” -My mother. 

“What.”-those same befuddled people.

It was from this pattern. 

Mom still has it because she has never thrown a sewing pattern away in her life.

God, this reminds me of when I took my daughter to the Natural History Museum for the first time after she fell in love with Walking With Dinosaurs. I was fully prepared to buy her a cuddly dinosaur. But that was not what she wanted. She wanted the 12″ plastic realistic T-Rex with blood smeared around its mouth. Later on, she also acquired a chunk of Amethyst, and spent most of the rest of the trip hitting him on the head with it because it was the comet that wiped out the dinosaurs.

So proud.

Your daughter is amazing and I love her.

I HAD THE APATOSAURUS FROM THIS PATTERN OMG

Today the Department of Unexpected Interspecies Friendship is going hiking gorgeous Colorado landscapes with Henry the dog and Baloo the cat. Both adopted from animals shelters, they live with humans, Cynthia Bennett and her boyfriend, who are avid hikers. Even as a 14-week-old puppy, Henry immediately wanted to join in on their hikes.

“I think we only had him for three days when we took him on our first hike, which was to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs,” Bennett said. “He found the steepest, tallest rock around, and he ran up to the top of it to look over the edge.”

Baloo joined the family just a few months ago and immediately bonded with Henry.

The moment Baloo met Henry, he loved him — he wanted to play with Henry and snuggle with him. Not only that, but Baloo refused to be left behind when Henry went out for a hike.“If I touch Henry’s leash, [Baloo] will start screaming at the door,” Bennett said. “He’s very vocal.”

Since Baloo was so eager to go outside with Henry, Bennett set about harness training him, but Baloo immediately took to being outdoors and on a leash and now he goes anywhere Henry goes. All their adventures are shared.

“He’s definitely not the kind of cat we can leave home alone on the weekend anymore,” she added. “I think he thinks he’s more a dog than anything.”

Follow Henry and Baloo on Instagram to keep up with their latest outdoor adventures together.
