I’ll give a real answer though: the Burrowing Owl! Cute quirky guys on the smaller side, moves into abandoned varmint holes, prefers sprinting over flying (& evolved proportionally longer legs) except when hunting, active during the daytime

Four burrowing owls on the ground. Two are looking at the camera with their head cocked almost 90 degrees, one is sitting halfway into a depression, the final one looks towards the others

Give me your favorite Non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor. For me, no contest: Walter Koenig as Alfred Bester in Babylon 5. A far cry from Chekov, he's a cold, calculating antagonist, endlessly fascinating and complex. Koenig's acting steals every episode he appears in.

Walter Koenig as Alfred Bester in Babylon 5. He is harshly lit from above, a gloved fist raised close to his face, which wears a menacing look of amusement.

Late to the party, but here's my dark horse entry: DC One Million. A giddy extrapolation of DC Comics then-status quo, with ambitious takes and de/reconstructions of heroic icons. Expansive yet intimate at the same time, with dire stakes while maintaining a celebratory optimism for the future

The cover of DC One Million 80-Page Giant. It features future versions of Batman, Superman, Aquaman, The Atom, and the Young Justice Trinity (Superboy, Robin, and Impulse)

A tarrif on Larry the Cable Guy is a tarrif on Prilosec!

A satirical ad for Prilosec starring actual spokesman Larry the Cable Guy. The ad features a large graphic of the product box, as well as a picture of Larry holding a smaller product box.

Box text: CONSUME PRILOSEC; This is your God!

Testimonial text: "I eat ribs every day and I love it, but I'll tell you what one more thing about wh-how much ribs I eat, a lot!
...eat Prilosec!"

Psychonauts 1 & 2. Less about establishing setting as it's own character, but more about effectively using environment to express the personality & storytelling *about* characters.

Screenshot of the Meat Circus level from Psychonauts 1. The environment is a unnerving mashup of main character Raz's circus background, and the brutality of his father's (imagined) hatred for psychics (whom Raz is one of)

Screenshot of the Milkman Conspiracy mind from Psychonauts 1. The level is a pastiche of 1950s Americana iconography, twisted around and over itself and littered with shadowy stoic spies, representing the anxiety of a mind twisted by years of belief in conspiracy theories.

Screenshot of the Hollis' Mind level from Psychonauts 2. The stage is a amalgamation of a hospital and a casino, representing the character's history as a medical student, warped by a well as a recently acquired compulsion for risk-taking.

Screenshot of the Compton's Cookout world in Psychonauts 2. The level is a cooking show, a game show, and a children's puppet show. The stage represents Compton's anxiety and overly critical sense of self, as characterized by a set of complex tasks to be judged by a panel of patronizing hand puppets.

That fukken Doofenshmirtz-ass mutherfukker. 50/50 on whether anyone actually calls it that but him. Hell, may not even be real since he makes shit up all the time.

I’m not linking to the original, but an article is floating around claiming that Star Trek has always been just for men. Which is complete horseshit. And anyone who truly believes that should stand on business and announce themselves so they can receive the shame and ridicule they deserve

excerpt from an article claiming (erroneously) that Star Trek fans "are and always have been men."
