    I’m sorry but my pop cultural references range from about 1960 to about 1995 … I partially know a few between 1995 and 2010 … I’m completely lost after that

      • Liz Lemon is a fictional character portrayed by Tina Fey in the sitcom 30 Rock (2006-2013)
      • One of her catchphrases in the show is “blerg”
      • A common theme throughout the show is Liz’s quest to “have it all”, meaning having a good balance between her job, love, family, etc.
      • This image depicts Liz dressed as Locutus of Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation
      • The title is a mashup of Locutus’s infamous quote and the aforementioned Liz quotes

        Beautiful summary and thanks for the insight. 2006-2013 is the period where I migrated away from cable TV and had not really stepped into streaming TV yet, so I missed a lot of programming then. I’m also Canadian so we don’t get easy access to the same American content. I love Tina Fey but I’m sad to say, I’ve never really seen much of her work over the years.

            I don’t doubt it … it’s just that there is only so much content you can fill into one lifetime … unless I’m watching TV, movies, reading and listening to a million podcasts every single day of my life, I might be able to catch up on everything in about 10 years.

      This is Tina Fey, most popular for her time on SNL and as Liz Lemon on 30 Rock. I’m lost beyond that though.

    You know something like the borg that just uplifts and spreads sapience could be interesting
