    The Muppets are celebrating an anniversary this year. It's for when Henson first created them. In 1954. That's 70 goddamned years ago! The Muppets are fucking 70 years old! They are now older than Disney was when The Muppet Show premiered (in 1976)! They're also one year older than Disneyland! No foolin'.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'm just going to turn into dust.

    The Branch Davidians are still around. Just not quite as many of them as there used to be.

    The Muppet episode of SNW is going to be glorious, and you're going to beg for forgiveness.

    Here's the difference, those episodes you keep bringing up are actually funny. Com badge girl isn't funny, it's stupid and anyone defending this crap are stupid as well. These are Starfleet Cadets, not toddlers.

    He's a midshipman. So not a cadet.

    It's no fucking wonder you "need more angles" to understand shit anyone with a brain got fifteen fucking angles ago.

    It could be argued that since they are serving/training on a ship, they can be considered a hybrid cadet/midshipman.

    "He stayed at his post, when the trainees ran!!"

    Hence, NOT a trainee.

    I didn't mean Preston, I meant the current cadets. They could be hybrid.
