Huh. Interesting.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Only a black guy could pull off that banana clip....

Once, there was another guy who was wearing the same visor as Geordi, and Geordi had to kill him.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Which came first- the popularity of the banana clip or Geordi's visor. Because it seems like a weird choice. Almost everything else on ST:TNG looks so much better than TOS, and then, hey, they slap some silver spraypaint on a banana clip and call it a visor.

Thrive to spite them
It's weird to see Denise Crosby was up for Troi and then ended up as Tasha Yar. Didn't she decide to leave TNG because she was unhappy with role and the limited storylines?

Yeah, Worf was a late addition to the cast, and ended up doing most of the asskicking that was intended to be Tasha's.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Banana clips -- they were EVERYfrickwhere when I was in high school, and TNG started my first year of college.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I always thought it looked more like a car's air filter.

Heh. Me too.
So I talked to the HR person, and she said 3 veterans are on the list ahead of me, claiming that they have the Really Very Specialized Experience that the job requires. And by "specialized" I mean, maybe half a dozen people in the country do this work.
I can't do anything at this point, just wait. They have a 90-day window to hire off this announcement, so either they re-calculate the scoring or they wait a month or two and ask those guys if they really want to be considered for the job (this would have been easier three years ago, before the economy tanked). Meanwhile, I stay in my contract position and hope I don't get sick, since I have health insurance but no doctor.
