    • Panel 1: The engine room of a starship, with giant cans of baked beans piped directly to the mouths of some heads poking out of the wall.
    • Panel 2: An outside view of the rear of the starship, showing an array of butts protruding from the starship, implied to be the butts of the people in the wall in Panel 1.
    • Panel 3: The starship captain issuing the command “fart”.
    • Panel 4: The starship is now being propelled through space via the thrust generated by the array of farting butts from Panel 2.

    This is more-or-less the same as the experimental drive introduced in Star Trek Discovery.









  • I can do this with Amaze File Manager, just not with any of the various Firefox forks that I have installed, no matter which option I choose under “Open As”. Vanadium (a Chrome fork) was an option when I tried to open as a text file. Using a file named test.html that is saved in my Download directory, this was the URL in Vanadium:

  • How are you doing the transcripts? Just pulling from the extracted .srt files?

    Almost. My Blu-ray rips are subtitled with PGS/SUP, which apparently uses an image for subtitles instead of simple plain text like SRT. So I found a program called sup2srt which uses an OCR engine to convert the subtitle images to SRT, which I can then load into the database that this site uses. But, there are some issues with that:

    • Obviously, OCR is imperfect. It did a great job overall, but there were still a lot of things that need to be fixed
    • Most seasons, the subtitles are ALL CAPS.
    • There are a few scenes with hardcoded subtitles (such as the scene in Queen of Jordan in which Jack/Liz are whispering). These lines are not part of the subtitle file

    I made some quick Python scripts that go through all the script files to fix common mistakes, but I am also slowly going through each script individually to manually revise them.
