Though I’ve heard not everything is worth watching.

You heard wrong 😎

Seriously, if you ask ten Trekkies you’ll get twelve opinions on what’s good, what isn’t, and why. My best advice is to try everything, skip a few seasons ahead if a show is not resonating at first, and if it still isn’t hitting the mark for you at that point move on to the next series. Most shows* take a while to reach their potential, but until the recent stuff they’re all episodic enough that you can feel free to jump around a bit.

*The original series is the exception, it pretty much hits the ground running.

Well, just the one purpose, really…

But it was damn good at it! 👍

Yeah, they play “can you feel the love tonight” over it and fade out shortly after the shot in question. The Zootopia frame may be taken out of context, but Lion King’s is absolutely what it looks like.

Ensign Ricky… will return… in Avengers: Doomsday

Sure, but now thanks to AR walls the caves will be cavernous tunnels stretching out to infinity, while the crew stick to a small area demarcated by a few conspicuous stalagmites.

Thankfully most of the science fiction isn’t in that technobabble but in the plot lines; questioning what it is to be human, to be civilised, and what meaning their is to life, post-scarcity.

This point needs more acknowledgement. Star Trek isn’t a sci-fi show because it does or doesn’t have magic, it’s because it tends to follow the genre conventions of a (very soft, pop) sci-fi show. Easy example, Star Wars doesn’t tend to focus on questions like “hey are these robots sentient? How could we know?” while Star Trek can’t stop litigating that issue.

Also confused. The alternative is dying. Most things are preferable to dying.

Jessie Gender’s very positive review.

I have nothing against a Star Trek comedy show either way, but I’m going to take issue with calling Galaxy Quest a mockery. Yeah, it’s a parody, but I doubt a more loving parody exists. Everything it makes fun of in the first half comes around to be something admirable by the end, from Alan Rickman’s catchphrase to the dweeb with encyclopedic knowledge of the series saving the day. The movie actually embraces us geeks who poured over the Franz Joseph deck plans and says “good for you, maybe your love of this shit will save the world someday.”

Why does her leaving voluntarily change things? People who quit a job still deserve respect.

Regardless, I’m more concerned about the original behaviour than whether he remembered it or not. A forgetful asshole is still an asshole.

And in some of the stories Lex Luthor loses his hair because of his kryptonite experiments.

In the mainline comics of the ‘80s and ‘90s, wearing a kryptonite ring day after day gave him incurable cancer.

Goggles seem valid, but hair? Should rinse right out.

It’s been a while, but when I played hookie back in the day I found that nobody gave even a tiny bit of a shit.

I don’t love the idea that every Enterprise has been the flagship. I always assumed that’s just the role the D filled. Until SNW, no one talked about Kirk’s ship being the flagship. I don’t really see why we need to assume the G is either.

I mean, there were decades between the C was lost and the D was launched. The whole fleet doesn’t need to revolve around an Enterprise.

The G looks good for a late 23rd century ship. I’ll never be able to accept it as a 25th century design. As far as I’m concerned, they slapped the Enterprise name on a 100 year old workhorse.

Also for those who the “right edgy age” is their whole life.

• There was a young woman from Venus
• Whose body was shaped like a penis
• She made a trip to Phylos
• And you may think it’s gross
• But Spock II took her right up his anus

Cannot relate, was working from home before, during, and after Covid.

He adapted all the animated series stories in his Star Trek Log series back in the '70s. Also known for the novelization of the first Star Wars film among others, and credited for the story of The Motion Picture.

I was scrolling “new” and upvoted this not seeing what it was in response to, feeling pretty confident it was the right call. Now that I’ve checked, turns out I was right.
