Star Trek Social ClubThis was an problem that Picard showrunner Terry Matalas ran into when he pitched his Star Trek: Legacy spinoff series set on board the USS-Enterprise-G (formerly USS Titan), as all of those sets were destroyed immediately after Picard season 3 wrapped up, adding significant startup costs to recreate everything for a new show.
Ah so that’s why that sets are relevant. No sets no spinoff.
I really thought attributing the line to Denethor would be thing that annoys people haha
He’s been meaning to ask her why her uniform is a catsuit made of office carpet.

Private Lee Lemon may well be the finest recruit I’ve seen in all my years of service. That young man fills me with hope and some other emotions that are weird and deeply confusing to me.

Risame: Now when it comes to Ferengi-centric episodes of DS9, Looking for par’Mach in All the Wrong Places*, while good, doesn’t hold a candle to subversive gems like *House of Quark* (which actually preceded this episode), *Bar Association*, and *Little Green Men.
them: shutup shutup shutup!
Balrogs hate him, one weird trick to slay kings of men.
However, is it only Brakka who is responsible for the con, or is and has Anisha Mir been part of a long con of both Ake and her son from the start?
I like where you’re going. My own hunch is we’ll learn that Anisha (at Nus’ behest after he rediscovered Caleb) agreed to embed malicious code in her encrypted messages to Caleb (and that she only begrudgingly agreed because she lost hope he would read them) and that’s how Nus will snatch victory from the jaws of defeat from Capt. Ake at the very last moment, that he actually won the moment Caleb opened that first message from his Mom.
Probably not exactly that, but something along the lines of discovering that Nus has always been 2 steps ahead.

90s Trek was fantastic and did a great job handing off to each other. Even Voyager being stranded was still moving the world forward. Then we reset back to the first Enterprise, absolutely killing all the momentum.
The best thing Discovery ever did (apart from soft launching Strange New Worlds which got lucky) was launch us into the far future and give us a place to build.
I feel this is a powerful argument against prequels in general, not just for star trek.
Like, I cant help but think you’re right. The latter half of disco did indeed move the setting to a place where Academy can pick up and it seems like it’s working.
We have to accept that Star Trek is almost like scifi’s version of the Simpsons. It’s done everything.
¡Ay, Dios no me ama!
Nowadays, especially nowadays, I’m just grateful that the optimistic spirit/energy of star trek is having a next next generation of its own. I’m here for it. Mostly (sorry disco).

Which imaginary treknologies strike you as the most scientifically sound?
For me it’s the replicator turning shit into food, but everything may as well be magic.
Daystrom Institute@startrek.website
Not sure how that makes it science based…
Just barely, but isn’t that normal for treknobabble to be ripped from science headlines?

MonsterverseThe movie has personality to spare, taking full advantage of its Vietnam-era setting, from the character archetypes in play to the musical choices.
Skull Island is a masterpiece in subverting soldier tropes. I giant middle finger to the generic GI Joe character we got in Godzilla.
Every heroic last stand is easily swatted by the monsters and we get Sam Jackson as Ahab leading them all to their deaths. I don’t think they ever glorify the soldiers in the entire movie, which was fucking refreshing.
I just want to tell you how much I liked the episode that explored Klingon honor and how that hunting scene kept being recontextualized.
The show reminds me of Lower Decks in that it’s different but it’s the same. Cant wait to see more.
This is incredible, my respect and gratitude to those that are making it happen. Also can’t wait.

Pouring one out for highstrangeness, although AI slop had already killed the truly insane schizo posts, this is the final nail for this lurker. Fuck reddit and long live the fediverse.
You already picked Onze who jumped to mind as soon as I read the title 👌
How about Ancient Dragon Man or Eleonora?

Fun Fact. In the ready room interview Brent Spiner retells, in Stewart’s voice, what they were told over dinner:
I still haven’t seen the last one with Napoleon Dynamite, but I have seen and enjoyed the rest. I love the camp, what can I say 😎
Seems like a real one and I hope he does well in the next gig. I await the day I can point to him on the screen and say “Did you know he was in Star Trek also?”
Can I just get a solid sequel or reboot on tremors?
Don’t get me wrong, I love the camp it descended into, but the first one was great because half of the magic is that the characters were so ordinary and mundane (instead of wisecracking graboid hunters).
Fuck it what am I even saying, slap that face hugger on el blanco and giddy up!
Quality Assurance
Least accurate? Grandma’s Boy
Most accurate? Westworld (the show)
Hear me out. West World is a qa environment to test if a robot is actually a copy of a person. Grandma’s Boy is Sandler-slop set in a world without version control.
Every frog has its thorn
Great choices on all three 👌

Is this stupidity-slow or velocity-slow? Whatever it is, does this act have a name or term?
I had a similar realization when rewatching 03x04 Who Watches The Watchers. Those Mintakans would eventually realize they are unrelated to every other life form on the planet.
They might even have legends of a man in the sky promising them a new world, now a theory to be wholly supported by the biological record x_x
You like Lower Decks?
Buffer time is definitely the episode where I stopped doubting they knew how to handle trek.
