Starting my day off with this absolutely cursed image, thank you OP.

I knew that would be a step too far. The dream is dead 😆

Yes! Although, I have to admit I’ve never rewatched Farscape since it was originally on, I was still in school and me and my bestie were obsessed. Kind of worried to rewatch and find it doesn’t hold up. Firefly on the other hand, totally holds up!

Ok this will put the cat among the pigeons. And I probably shouldn’t be admitting it on the internet, but I just have to know…

Oh well, no further recommendations from me. But hello Trek-preferences twin, I guess :D

I’m completely with you on this, LD is clearly a hit with a lot of people and that makes me happy to see, but the show is just not for me. The characters are indeed way too hyper all the time which is tiring to watch, and I think it’s a shame because the concept and even a lot of the plots could be funny, but the characters never grow or change or become any less the absolute worst, so it’s kind of a wasted opportunity.

Anyway I’m not replying to dunk on LD. It’s a tv show and I don’t personally like it, whatever. I am replying to ask if you’ve tried The Orville.

Go with me here, because I assumed it was going to be just more of the kiddie style humour like LD. And it sort of is at first, so on my first attempt I bounced off the first episode and didn’t go back for a year. But we seem to have basically the same taste when it comes to Trek and I can honestly say The Orville turned into some of the best Trek I’ve seen. It’s got its weak points and annoying characters like anything else, but they’re a bit more like real people who change over time based on their experiences and aren’t just stuck in that typical animated show loop of being exactly the same again at the start of each new episode.

You might like it, you might not. Just a suggestion! :)

Living in an area that has “James Cook is from round here” as basically its only defining characteristic just got a lot cooler.

Zooming in and realising that little nubbin on your Rifter is actually the whole cockpit is quite the shock!

…it was tho.

I stand with you on this one.

I actually do this with a few crafting communities that rarely get new posts, makes it easy to see when something pops up in one of them.

It’s not ideal obviously and I do hope we get these sorts of features eventually, but in the meantime it’s a decent workaround for a very specific situation.

It works in Kerbal Space Program, it should work for real!

That makes sense, ta!

What does “saving” a song even mean? I’m old and confused

Hullo from lemm.ee 👋

I’m decidedly not a fan of most of the new Trek we’ve been seeing these last few years. But Strange New Worlds is something I thought we’d never see again, a genuinely good faith attempt to make a show that actually feels like Star Trek used to feel.

Season 1 seemed a little rushed in a lot of respects, introducing and neatly tying up character arcs at lightning speed, and sure some of the dialogue was a bit cringe. There were also wasted opportunities, for example a medical mystery episode where the solution ended up being both off-screen, and not involving the actual doctor, because they had to cram in so many different stories into one season. But in one series we got a modern take on all of the top “episode types” and it was honestly just a lot of fun.

Really looking forward to S2, I’ve not seen the first episode yet as waiting for someone else to finish S1 first but I have high hopes.
