Whenever I think of a Christmas Carol I cannot get “we’re Marley and Marley” from the muppets out of my head. It’s a banger!

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Had a Christmas quiz at my work a couple of years ago, and the fact that I was "wrong" for saying there were four ghosts has lived rent free in my head every Christmas since.
Marley, Past, Present, Future - just because hs's not noted as "the ghost of" doesn't mean he's not a ghost!
6 if you count children Ignorance and Want, and if you want a real argument, are the "shadows" Scrooge sees in the past - ghosts? What about everyone in the future?
I suppose I should've been more specific in my comment, that it was about how many ghosts visited Scrooge - of which are the four I mentioned. The other ghosts are part of the apparitions presented by the visiting ghosts, rather than visitors themselves
The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the spirit of the season. Whether that's giving spirit, historical spirit, or personal spirit. It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based and if you can't find it within yourself to stand up and show the spirit of the season, then you don't deserve to wear that Santa hat.
Make ma ma ma ma make it so
Muppet Gul Madred: No. There are five.
Tap for spoiler
In A Muppet Christmas Carol, Statler And Waldorf play the ghosts of Jacob and Robert Marley.
Marley & Marley is one of the best folklore retcons in history.
🎶We're Marley and Marley... Woooaaaahhhooohhhhh🎶
Your spoiler just made me think that they'd be perfect as an interpretation of Shran and Soval. Presumably sometime post formation of the Federation.
The only reason I used the spoiler tag is explaining the joke ruins the joke.
Damn, here I thought I was going to be original for once...
I saw him in A Christmas Carol in the city (I think on Broadway) years and years ago. I was the only kid on the field trip who was like "omg it's Captain Picard!"
