Everyone remember to watch Lower Decks tomorrow to help save the show!
If everyone binge watches tomorrow, Paramount might decide to not cancel it.
Lower Decks has all the heart of Star Trek and is hilarious too! Please help keep this show going!
(Lower Decks Binge Day is May 25)
Bashir, explaining why Nerys is now carrying Keiko's fetus: "I had to find another womb for the baby and the only two people available were Major Kira ... and me."
idky this didn't pop out for me the first time I watched DS9, but ... if he's an available person, then he's got a womb. so Bashir is #trans but he couldn't operate on himself, so that's why Nerys got the fetus 🤷🏻
okay, I know that the Kazon stripped them of all their technology, but surely they didn't stop to dig out the subdermal universal translators from some 150 odd crew members???
so how come they can't understand these particular aliens???
I don't understand why Tuvok has to make his meditation block-structure with his eyes closed? it doesn't seem like that's a great way to build a balanced structure?
Earl Grey is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, held consecutively by seven men since 1806.
And, after some fruitless research for a #StarTrek joke, looking at paintings and old photos, I'm afraid I have to tell you that apparently none of them were hot.
🖖Calling all Star Trek fans … new Trek in Time is out: https://youtu.be/fq6Xr2X925k Audio: https://share.transistor.fm/s/c64a8545 Sean and I talk about how quickly the era rears its ugly head in Star Trek: The Original Series. This episode has some serious cringe, but can the story get beyond it?
I'm new and excited to be here? I've been looking for ways to be connected and have services available, but keep privacy and security top of mind. My efforts have been focused on my home network, but I'm starting to broaden that to social media. I've always had a beef with SM and have hated how irrelevant it can be.
Enter Mastodon.
In many ways this is just an experiment, but it is one that I hope takes off and is, for me, successful.
A bit about me: I'm a nerd, pure and simple. I love Star Trek, reading (anything), science/tech, DnD (Monks for the win!), woodworking, and astronomy. I'm currently looking for ways to combine hobbies (like building a 3d-printed & wood framed telescope).
I am a former member of a cult...long story. and am in a lengthy process of discovering...we...me.
Hope to meet some cool people, and engage in new ways.
With one episode of Star Trek Discovery left, some thoughts.
This last season hasn't gripped me as much as I wanted it to. I forgot yesterdays ep had aired until late last night, whereas I feel the absence of XMen97this week very keenly. There's not much emotion in me as we head into the series finale.
Too much change on the bridge. I miss Saru. Saru made Discovery special. His absence is a void. Disco already suffered a charisma drop when Michelle Yeoh left and Mary Wiseman's role in S4 was so reduced (she's back now but still feels absent, somehow...). Losing Doug Jones as well...there's only so much damage you can cover up with the wonderful Wilson Cruz and David Ajala.
Owoshukun and Detmer MIA. What the hell? Again, they are part of the show and their replacements feel so bland and abritrary, especially on a show designed to keep the ancillary characters as set-dressing.
Grey leaving as well? Their story consumed two seasons and now...boomph...that relationship just done and dusted. That doesn't feel right.
A last season should be a celebration of everything this show had and it feels like half the crew we've spent seven years following is missing.
It's still beautiful to look at and each episode is giving us great things to enjoy...but...I dunno, maybe it's me. Maybe that gap between 4 & 5 was just too long.
I do like the Breen. I don't like that Lak's story is yet more runaway royalty trope. Mol's 1-dimensional aggro-snarling schtick is exhausting.
