I'm so glad we have them in our lives. Especially LeVar. If anyone here hasn't seen the Reading Rainbow documentary, Butterfly in the Sky, it's definitely worth a watch. It's on Netflix and I'm sure most of you know how to acquire it in other ways.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Let's not forget, of course, his finest performance of all-
I have a story to share that this crowd will appreciate.
I got into TNG with my Dad. We'd watch it on broadcast when I was young whatever day of the week it was that is on.
Thing is, the afterschool daycare I was at, the last 45mins or whatever, as kids were trickling out, they'd sit us down to watch something while they closed up shop, vacuuming, wiping the kid grime off stuff etc. Frequently what they put on was reading rainbow.
So being young, I'd ask my Dad about Geordi's visor and his eyes. He would patiently explain that Geordi was blind but could see with the visor. Somewhere in there was the episode where his visor breaks and he and the Romulan bond. So far so good, I'm with you.
But what I could NOT square, and didn't have the means to articulate, was that just earlier that day Geordi was reading me godamn books. WITHOUT HIS VISOR.
... and then there we got to the godamn crossover episode of reading rainbow.
Kid you:
Is that canonical? 😏
Depending what exact frequencies are canonical... Then the answer would be yes. Consider we've had years with a machine that can do the exact same thing. After 9/11 they started rolling out those scanners that you stand in at the TSA... The image that they see is a naked version of you more or less.
It's always funny when they do this honestly
~~why does he say above red and beneath violet? aren't those usually named the opposite (infrared and ultraviolet)?~~
edit: nvm it's because he talks about the rainbow first, i was too focused on the spectrum side of the tweet. that also explains the scare quotes.
