Can’t really speak to the other shows because I haven’t seen them
Yeah, styrofoam’s notoriously bad for the environment. Plus just annoying to deal with. I hate it.
What beautiful, bittersweet memories. Thank you for sharing them.
No, of course it’s not healthy. I’m just saying it’s not violent.
In a marriage/committed partnership, I think most people would consider a fight to be an argument with raised voices and some ill feeling. I really don’t think most people consider shouting to be violent. Upsetting, maybe, but violent?
Ugh I really hated Space Babies
Ooh yeah I’ve heard people speak highly of The Orville, and I keep forgetting to check it out! If I’m not mistaken, it’s got Penny Johnson (Kasidy Yates) in it, right?
Ugh… I’ve been so reticent to watch modern Trek. I’ve heard such bad things about Discovery and have never been tempted to try it. But I really love the TNG era, so I gave in and watched Picard season 1…man, that was a mistake. Too modern, too snarky, too fucking meta. I swore off modern Trek. But then I read loads of threads saying that SNW was a return to form, and that it felt the most like Star Trek out of all the modern series. So even though I knew I might hate it, yesterday I watched the first three episodes. I’m already so annoyed with it. Super meta, the cast is for the most part way too young, and it’s loose or completely disregarding toward canon (yeah, Spock and T’Pring having sex without Pon Farr… give me a break!), and plotlines that make no sense at all. I’m so annoyed with it. I get that '80s/'90s TV was too earnest for today’s audiences, but SNW feels like a parody of Star Trek, not a worthy successor. So far, nothing feels like actual high stakes. There really isn’t serious drama that I actually care about. When shows are too snarky and meta, it makes it really hard for me to connect with them.
I do recognize that first seasons can be rocky, so I’ll at least stick with it through the end of the season. But I can’t lie, it’s off to a terrible start. I wish we could have shows more in keeping with the tone and themes of TNG and DS9 (or even Voyager!).
Oh man I miss Kools.
Yup! And had one of the best henchmen (Ecliptor). But my favorite henchman by far was Rito Revolto. Holy shit I loved him.
Astronema > Rita > Trakeena > Divatox
Nardole with hair is weirder than I expected.
The Sound of Her Voice was heartbreaking!
God I wish I could’ve seen this!
The Doctor (Voyager’s EMH, played by Bob Picardo) meets the Doctor (Doctor Who’s 13th incarnation, played by Jodie Whittaker)
Bestill, my little nerd heart!!
Not always. On DS9, when the Defiant was departing the station, the heading was given as 180 mark zero - meaning, traveling exactly backward from their current position. This made sense because when docked, the Defiant’s nose is buried in the docking ring.
Ah - well good luck, Lemmy’s rooting for ya!
Especially lies
