Not giving one’s blessings makes all the difference, I’m sure.

Well at least the sourpuss … sourpup? … isn’t sitting on the bridge in the dark, so though he seems pretty powerless they’ve still got some power. Enough to run the lights, anyway.
Yep, definitely a Star Trek vibe of the big bad antagonist getting shown up by a “grown up”.
The phrase is actually “couldn’t care less”. Saying “we could care less” is meaningless if you think about it.
Not meaningless, it’s opposite of intent. Irregardless, you understand what he meant.
Irregardless? Not sure if this is Muphry’s Law in action or you’re being purposefully ironic.
“Muphry’s”? Please say you meant to do that.
Yes. 🙂 It’s when you correct what someone wrote and yourself make a mistake while doing so.

Thanks, I was here to say the same XD
I used to drive my mother crazy because I would say, “I could care less…” then after she started to object I’d continue with, “But I’d have to work at it.”
“I could care less” is often used in informal speech, and anyway the alien grape is probably speaking some other language that happens to be translated to english and possibly the translation is a bit off. Pick your poison, not worth nitpicking over, this isn’t an English essay.
Translation makes them say the opposite?
The fact that it’s often used is why I often feel the need to correct it. Language is important to me! Hoping to rid the world of misspoken or misunderstood phrases, one Bone Apple Tea at a time.
Mr. Baldwin has every right to ignore me and keep it though, I’m not going to hold it against him. I only offer my corrections as a suggestion.
@Shoop, and I appreciate it! Will make the change. 🙂
For all intensive purposes it’s a doggy dog world. Supposably their are gramma police out there but I could care less.
You monster.
Its amazing too think you could of crammed more misteaks in that then you did.
You’ve boxed Englitch into a rock and a hard place in the sun.
So… If it just took all the power stones… How is the Strib commander not sitting there in the dark?
Plenty of explanations for why the lights aren’t off, starting with “capacitors” and ranging through “energy is harvested from them and stored in secondary batteries since the power stones aren’t instantly responsive to demand”.
Always wondered why the air and the gravity stayed on when the Enterprise lost power.
Also: Better hope those stones weren’t powering the cryosleep units… Could have a lot of freezerburnt corpsicles before this is over…
“a lot of freezerburnt corpsicles”
Oo, yummy! My favorite!
More questions without answers. “Transient” little pests? Are they rootless, then, picking planets to despoil and settle? How did they manage to get into the good graces of General Grape here, and his presumed ‘people’ (sic)? How did they manage to bump into them, anyway? Who traversed which barrier going where and was it deliberate?
After all that, I’m surprised General Grape did not appear with the face of Gore Vidal. There’s more Kreton than Squire of Gothos in what we’ve seen of Strib character. But I’m sure next week will bring us more on THAT!
Bartender! In honor of the situation, I’ll have a screwdriver.
Gonna get hammered?
No. Uh… nevermind.
Clearly the Stribs and the purple space entities are leakage from RH Junior’s Questor series.
When a deus ex machina helps you, the “***k” in “***k you!” better be “Thank”.
