That was an interesting watch. Glad someone is making shorts they think are fun to make, it’s refreshing.

It’s not important, I just allowed myself get worked up over an annoyance. Sorry to show up with a sloppy rant, I’m grateful to be a guest here ✌️

Ya you’re right. Just seeing it in chart format triggered an some kinda emotional response and I just sorta vomited a reply. Sorry about that.

I just came for a good time and I’m having one, even if it’s not perfect.

I appreciate the transparency, but fucking hell, are we pariahs?

Recently I wanted to make a comment, but I wasn’t logged in (I clicked a link that took me to a different instance and did not realize it).

I came back here , searched for the community, I sort by new to find the post… and it’s gone.

The irony is that I wanted to reply to some guy dunking on how our instance is a ghost town (was gonna reply with a pic of the Q Continum and joke that not all ghost towns are as they seem)

But since that moment a few days ago I am noticing it constantly.

Sucks feeling like Ro and LaForge being out of phase with the enterprise majority of the fediverse. It’s really taken the wind out of my sails the last few days.

Crestfallen rant aside, I’m a coder by day I would like to know if I can offer any generic technical help (I don’t know lemmy, but maybe I can help debug the issue 🤷‍♀️)

Again thanks, sorry if I’m coming off angry I’m just disappointed and using your comment to get it out.

I have no idea, but I hope so haha

Buffertime episode was the one where I became hooked.

The show consistently delivered until the very end, at least for me.

My only petty gripe is when I recently rewatched an episode: Riker comments about seeing Archer and the gang in the holodeck and now that I’ve seen ENT…I don’t want to be reminded of the finale. I told you it was petty!

5 seasons and a movie, make it so!

…all estimates to date project that the series will debut on Paramount+ sometime in 2026. In the meantime, the show has already been renewed for a second season of production.

Glad they believe in it enough to want a second season.

Now I wait until 2026 to see Parrises squares onscreen at last 🙏

I have a half-baked thought of my own.

That as the world slides into the maws of oligarchy, we need to see the Star Trek series that zooms in on the transition away from money.

They should face the music of class war with that Trek panache that made them great👌

There is this thing we need to find that thing. An entire season about finding that thing.

Ah yes, the season-sized adventure that feels like a bunch of yak-shaving fetch-quests in an rpg.

we must find the progenitor macguffin, but first we must find the treasure map, but first…

If we look for it we probably see this pattern is common across many trek episodes, but across a season they managed to do it in such a way that feels very obvious and hard to miss.

Give them Andor instead of Ahsoka; they need to make more content that speaks to the universal human condition and less about the cool worlds and characters they’ve got. The people want Squid Game and Severance, not another cinematic universe.

Sign me up for more Billups!

“On my last week [working on Discovery], I approved the Starfleet uniforms, which they tossed out, and rejected the Klingons, which they kept.” Notably, both the Discovery uniforms and the Klingons from that era proved to be controversial with fans

That’s the big what-if for me out of this article: what if disco had klingons that didn’t become radioactive to so much of the audience?

The whole klingon war felt like it happened in a single episode or two and I wonder how much of that was them concluding they made an ugly-sonic and tossing it.

Maybe we would have seen more Ash Tyler and less Book, who knows 🤷‍♀️

Ya this is great 👍 Thanks for everything, I like it here.

Now let the emoji age begin!

The ending was perfect!

Thanks for a much appreciated dose of whimsy to start my day 👍

I can’t believe I accidentally promoted proprietary software, when I should be promoting Ensign Kim!

Tell me we’re on lemmy without telling me we’re on lemmy 😂

Ya I’ll have some of that please.

Federation outsiders serving a gleaming resort planet find out their day-to-day exploits are being broadcast to the entire quadran

Ok not bad, Acapulco is a funny show about working in a resort so I can sorta imagine it in space. Not as sure about the Punkd angle, but I’m remaining optimistic.

Try to sort by All and top six/twelve hours for an alternative feed.

Welcome and enjoy your time 👌

Starfleet going around to other worlds to fix and moralize about other peoples’ problems, but never needing to self-reflect or improve on themselves.

There are a few PTSD episodes that at least try : Picard at the chateau and Archer on shore leave after the Xindi adventure.

I feel these are the best episodes where a character realizes they have changed and not for the better, but I wish there were more.

Maybe trek is sleeping on the post-adventure recontextualization power of a shore leave coda?

So ultimately, I feel like what we’re saying is that in order for Starfleet and that beautiful vision that Roddenberry had of this optimistic utopia, in order for that vision to exist, in order for the light to exist, you need people who operate in the shadows. And it’s a yin and yang. You can’t have one without the other.

I don’t like this sort of mother-goosery in my fully automated luxury gay space communism.

I prefer the assimilating power of root beer as the true defender of the federation.
