Panel 1
Mae: *sigh* Star Trek has broken my heart.
Tony: Not digging this season of Picard? I thought you were loving it.
Panel 2
Mae: No, Picard is great. I mean Star Trek in a more… general sense. They just hopped on the NFT bandwagon, and it feels so antithetical to the ideals of the show.
Mae: Like, the Federation exists in a post-scarcity moneyless world, and here they are selling wildly overpriced, artificially scarce JPEGs.
Panel 3
Tony: I mean, I think you have to remember that the federation is a fiction, and Star Trek is produced by a corporation that DOESN’T exist in a moneyless world.
Mae: I know but… how am I supposed to deal with the fact that my favorite franchise of all time is letting me down like this?!
Panel 4
Tony: I dunno, I suppose you could define your identity by something other than the media you consume?
Mae: Uh, hi, I’m Mae. Clearly we’ve never met.
Tony: Right, sorry, don’t know what came over me there.
