My brief experience with night reign

New Star Trek movie you say?

Is O’Brien is faking transporter mishaps so he can sacrifice them to the void and keep the writhing eldritch horrors from swallowing the galaxy? I want to say yes.

My man was a high school dropout turned noble slayer turned selllout emperor. What a life 😎

remember when we was socii and they carried us to and from the war and supplied all our meals? Fuck this janky 25 years of servitude shit 🤮

How I imagine the provincials reading this poster

we wanted to send a valentine to the franchise, and I still stand by the concept of the episode, which is it’s actually an episode of Next Generation where they’re looking back at Enterprise on the holodeck, which I think is a cool idea

That’s cool sure.

But on the other side: Reddit betrayed the social contract and deserves to rot in consequence.

One droplet of lost engagement becomes an ocean; just stop showing up 🤷‍♀️

ENT be divisive like that. Personally I rank S3 as the best of ENT and first 2 seasons is them trying to “just do what worked before” but not really succeeding.

I think what I dislike the most about early ENT (besides decontamination) is how they seemed to just throw away all the guest stars. Quantum leap costar especially was a travesty of wasted potential.

I love that episode, it has Archer’s most boneheaded command decision of all time.

Top 10 TNG episode for me and has one of the best “oh shit we really doin sci-fi” moments in TNG:

CRUSHER: Here’s a question you shouldn’t be able to answer. What is the nature of the universe?   COMPUTER: The universe is a spheroid region seven hundred and five metres in diameter.

Also: who the fuck is this Prester John character yall insist is here?

I always wonder how the guy playing Travis felt about the writers creating an alien that stereotypes all human beings as white.

I mean, they could have at least explored how the character Travis felt about it. Real missed opportunity.

Must have been a bad breakup:

Selim I wanted to use the Ottoman Empire’s central location to completely cut the ties between Shah Ismail’s Safavid Empire and the rest of the world.

Shah Ismail received revenue via customs duties, therefore after the war to demonstrate his commitment to their thorny rivalry, Selim I halted trade with the Safavids[61]—even at the expense of his empire’s own silk industry and citizens.

For most of Star Trek’s history, the Prime timeline holds together no matter what happens to it.

I respectfully disagree.

James Kirk of the united earth space probe agency or whatevs sends his regards to the united federation of planets 🙃

Later in Disco we see… many anachronisms, which makes it hard to write of earlier inconsistencies as just errata.

My own conclusion is that star trek is like a jigsaw puzzle both with some pieces missing and some pieces from other puzzles entirely.

Edit: as a counter point, I would say that statement is true of other (smaller) franchises, like planet of the apes.

We call it Hatuey day in my house 😎

Me watching twilight for the first time with my daughter and seeing this scene:

Vandal Kingdom of St Augustine fame feels way less obscure than Land of Punt or Garamantes, but who cares I gotta find out about that Roman coin!.

Trying to think of it in terms of the real world is senseless.

It’s can also be fun 😎
