The secondary sex characteristics matter at least as much, probably more, as what’s in the being’s pants/shirt/socks/hat (or wherever members of that race keep their sex organs) and who gestates the baby or lays the egg.
Or the entire war is being fought over something entirely pointless such as whether or not chili should have beans. This is after all a redundant universe.
To be fair the entire series from Wesley until Wesley stopped showing up. Was an exercise in trying to give kids someone to look up to by making him a genius and the rest of the crew stupid in comparison.
Honestly I’m surprised a captain of several years of experience with crew doing worse things, would say Shut Up to an acting ensign whose main job is to learn how to be a full ensign. I wonder how long it would have taken Wesley after graduating from academy. To start telling his crew to shut up in front of everyone
I’m pretty sure that that… alien (still not sure if secondary sex characteristics apply to other humanoid species) could fit into that kind of garment.
Author Spider Robinson’s Callahan Series had an alien character who adopted the name “Mickey Finn” The ensemble discovered later that he had a hard time trying to find a mate. Because only Mike Callahan’s daughter was heavy enough to at least be considered skinny but healthy by his race. The rest of the females of the human race was morbidly in danger of dying from lack of food according to his sense of “she’s attractive”
I can see this as an Al Bundy moment. In one episode alien greys are stealing his socks and the climactic reveal is that they require them for fuel for a fleet required to destroy a rogue asteroid or comet threatening all the inhabited worlds making Al the greatest hero of the galactic federation and spoken of reverently. Meanwhile of course back on earth nobody including Al has a clue and he’s doing his usual composting on the couch with his hand in his pants.
Power Rangers Zeo had a silly moment with Bulk and Skull. They accidentally went through a portal, accidentally freed an alien. had to fight the enemy minions to hold them off while the alien disabled the forcefields. Freeing the rangers as happenstance.
Bulk and Skull were told that statues would be built and they’d be forever remembered in story and song
Well, I have no idea how he intends to shoot them without blowing up half the ship he is on…or without losing a spacesuit helmet in case they shove him out first…
Vacuum isn’t as catastrophically bad for people as they make it out to be in movies. Maybe he can do well enough with a helmet that leaves his eyes eye sockets exposed for the duration of the blast, then flips them shut before any meaningful tissue-trauma occurs.
It’s not like he has eyeballs anymore or even anything in the area that’s particularly susceptible to damage.
The brains are on the other side of a retaining wall. His sinuses would probably take a good bit of damage over time, but you would only have to have the eye-socket ports open for a second or so at a time.
Does anyone else think LP is getting a bit better developed in his torso? He keeps going he’s gonna actually have a classic superhero build! I guess his workouts with Mary Sue are more fun than the ones he had with Good Girl.
In part, it’s Sausage’s fairly recent change in art-style. In addition to that, Laser Pony is just skinny. That’s his rib cage, not anything as impressive as actual pecs. The more buff, muscular super heroes don’t have their ribs showing like that.
Do most super hero comics go in for anything that subtle, though? Don’t most paint in broader stripes of black and white? Admittedly, I haven’t been keeping up much, lately.
LP is going to blow up this guy’s home planet isn’t he?
Don’t worry he’ll blowup the enemies planet to among other objects in space.
no but it will be quickly revealed the side he’s on is connected to spiders some how. remember how all this started
…He’s gonna destroy both fleets by accident.
The captain wouldn’t be fulfilling all of my childhood fantasies, when she delivered that line. In fact, she would have to …
Well, actually not she, huh? Therein lies the problem, doesn’t it?
To this planet, he is she and she is he

In b4 it turns out that both sides of the war turn out to be terrible people.
Or the entire war is being fought over something entirely pointless such as whether or not chili should have beans. This is after all a redundant universe.
Chili should not have beans.
DAMN YOU AND ALL THAT LIVE IN GENERAL VICINITY OF YOUR HOME RESIDENCE!!!
*launches warships…
NO…BEANS…WITHOUT…CHILI!
Or per the Galaxy Rangers cartoon. in an episode or two
Both fleets are toys of a pre-teen alien given a personal starship by his parents
I knew it! LP longed to be Wesley Crusher.
Uhh, how does Wesley Crusher fit into this at all?
Probably because this story arc has so far been a parody of TNG.
Nobody has told him to shut up until now…
To be fair the entire series from Wesley until Wesley stopped showing up. Was an exercise in trying to give kids someone to look up to by making him a genius and the rest of the crew stupid in comparison.

“Help us Lazer Pony, you are our only hope.”
Just please do not use the Slave Leia Bikini pseudo-Andorian. Please not!
I’m pretty sure that that… alien (still not sure if secondary sex characteristics apply to other humanoid species) could fit into that kind of garment.
Putting LP in a Leia Bikini would be terrible.
But hilarious at the same time.
As long as we get a loincloth long enough to cover him…
I don’t want to get traumatized as the rest of the LoSRHs when he went looking for something to put on and everyone was tied and gagged…
But still terrible, Shamdon.
Does either side use blimps?
Not sure, let’s see at the female crew, first!
*Bitting a cigar and moving up and down eyebrows*
Christ, what did I start?
Hopefully a fight that tears off your shirt, and a hot alien chick that you need lube with.
Considering that I’m not actually in the comic, I’d prefer two hot, alien chicks who find a use for that lube.
I’ll see your two and raise you by four.

Gizuzu.

LP’s “Gaze”. Ha!
Can’t wait for him to return to Shitropolis and the inevitable “Gaze into the Fist of Gyrognome!”
If they offer you the red uniform, refuse it.
Or making him in charge of a crew wearing that.
Or get the captain laid first…
Not sure if this captain is interested in Xenophilia…
To be fair, this is modern uniform. When crew did die in Next Generation, it didn’t matter what color uniform they had on.
What LP is actually thinking “And what about the probing? I brought my own lube this time…”
Only if you brought enough lube for everyone…
Ooh, ooh, I did!
Is it scented or flavored?
*sniff sniff*
Well, the one is a ‘yes’, yeah. I’ll let you test it for flavor.
I realized that the apostrophe in Your’e is on the wrong side of the R. It should be You’re. I hate my grammar nazi tendencies.

Like his brains? So no issue, then…

Yeah, but he actually has a chest and shoulders now! Sure, it’s probably due to the art change, but I prefer to think LP is growing up a bit.
Also possible.
These aliens are going to turn out to be the evil ones, aren’t they?
Possible. That would be interesting.
Do most super hero comics go in for anything that subtle, though? Don’t most paint in broader stripes of black and white? Admittedly, I haven’t been keeping up much, lately.
