I don’t know if this is a hot take, but I love that episode. Anytime Star Trek took what is essentially an emotion, gave it form, and interacted with it, I found it fascinating.

I’m an early gen Y. I knew maybe 4 people who had a cell phone, and only one of them could record a 30 second, shitty quality video. Kinda glad phones weren’t in constant use when I was in school.

The first game kinda falls flat, but they put out a pretty solid sequel with the second game.

Yeah but he took it on the chin, and kept moving forward. What a badass.

Completely forgot this was a thing. I don’t dislike Section 31 as much as some, but it gets me more Michelle Yeoh, who was one of the very few bright spots on Discovery, so I’ll take it.

While I overall like SNW (like, not love), Pike seems more interested in being a friend to his crew (at least the senior officers) rather than being an effective leader who demands nothing but the best from his crew. Picard and Janeway were great at this. They were friendly enough with their crew, but maintained enough professional distance to not get too chummy. Sisko less so, but he knew how to walk the line between friend and commanding officer.

If that’s what I meant then I would have simply said that. If that’s what you choose to believe, so be it. Most observant people can see this is a rather large echo chamber. It’s really obvious.

For the sake of argument (and I don’t care enough to go digging), let’s say it was no more than 40 seconds, but you didn’t respond to the rest of my comment so I’ll assume you’re in agreement.

It was several scenes. Mostly between the doctor and Stamets. More than “30 seconds”.

No other character stated their pronouns, so how am I supposed to know everyone elses? The same way people figured it out since day 1. And here’s an easy way for us to know. Other characters can call him by it, and then we’ll know. Not everything has to be outright stated on camera for the audience to figure it out.

There’s very little quality on Lemmy. It lacks diversity. It’s quite authoritarian left. Tankies under every rock. Even in non-politics communities. I still use a forked version of Boost to lurk reddit. But as someone else said, if never recommend Lemmy to anyone I actually know.

Well said. I don’t think new Trek has been too “woke” (whatever that means because no one can define it). The only one that was over the top was that kid who was non-Trill that had a symbiont. For being in the 31st century (or whatever) they focused too much on his they/them nonsense. You’re not suppose to mention it. When you make a thing of it, it doesn’t come across as normal. That’s like TOS making a big deal of a black woman working on the bridge. Sure, in reality it was a big deal at the time, but being set in the 23rd century it should be normal by then.

New Trek sucks for all the reasons you said. God awful writing, poor dialog, and plenty of bad actors. No character development. I can only remember a few characters names from Discovery. The rest I just physically describe: chick with metal on half of face, robot chick, darked haired guy and blonde chick who stood in the back of the bridge sometimes, and chick with African name.

I only continued to watch it for Stamets (after he chilled out), Saru, and Georgiou.
