Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I've spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don't ask who what's in the pattern buffer.

  • Tldr: Long winded way of saying "is he wrong to assume that?"

    American here, I can assure you that the majority of the people around me have absolutely no idea about anything involving the UK government.

    In the last month I have overheard two separate conversations in different states, asking if the UK has a "president", and at least one got the answer "no, they have a queen".

    I'm not even sure most Americans are aware the queen died. I'm not sure how they could possibly have missed it, but our country is collectively under a rock, so...

    I have heard many people over the years trying to argue US law for things happening in the UK.

    I have had to inform a great many people that the UK includes Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Most people have been surprised to find out Ireland isn't united as a single country.

    Americans in general are not smart. Even less informed about anything that happens outside the US than I assume most people in the EU know about the US state Ohio.

  • Star Trek Strange New Worlds is my favorite Star Trek series ever. I love all the risks they take and the cast is excellent. I can’t believe it’s being cut short. Give me 7, 8, 9 seasons.

    Jump

  • I usually skip s1&2 of tng when I re-watch except a few key episodes.

    Some things just don't click with me, or are just too on-the-nose to take seriously.

    TOS is particularly bad when it comes to themes that boil down to "don't be racist and sexist", but they're all a product of the times. And CLEARLY we still have those issues today, but it's preaching to the choir vibes when I watch them.

    I don't have to like any of the shows, but I do feel I still need to support them, otherwise we might not get more because the corps that own the IP don't hear enough praise.

  • I can appreciate that it paved way for more shows while also not caring for it.

    With apologies to everyone who loves it, I don't particularly care for TOS. Yet without it I would have none of my favorite shows.

  • Neat! My only experience with farming is farming simulator, and I haven't played much beyond harvesting a ton of wheat and corn.

  • I was about to saw plow farming IS outdated, then I realized modern farming is just industrialized plow farming, and instead of one plow, one ox, and one guy, it's one guy and a giant machine that drags dozens of plows at once AND seeds, covers, and fertilizes everything in a single pass.

  • In fairness, I think everyone involved in both shows realizes they aren't meant to be the same kind of show. They aren't meant to be compared.

    I enjoy both, and I think I enjoy SNW more as a trek show, but I like lower decks more as a general show. It's probably just my lowered attention span, but I do like the 20-30m format and more comedic tone of LD. Especially the comedy, since gestures wildly at the world y'know.

    I watch them at different times, in different moods.

  • felt like a space show with Trek slapped on sometimes

    So many shows in established IP feel this way because that's exactly what happens, even if not the original intent.

    The Halo TV series was never intended to be Halo until it failed to get picked up as a standalone Sci fi show, and then they replaced names and locations in the same way a 5th grader might use "Find&Replace" to change names in a word document (think Michael Scarn vs Michael Scott). It's so obvious they wanted to be their own independent thing and shoehorned in all the Halo parts.

    Discovery FEELS like they want to make a star trek show, but that they ALSO want to tell their own story. I think every creative wants to leave an impact on things, otherwise why bother trying to tell the same old story that's been told before? So I'm perfectly okay with each series being a different tone, with different perspectives on things (I like to think inter-series contradictions are simply results of different points of view).

    That said, discovery definitely feels like the "Pick Me" kid in the IP. It's trying too hard to be "different" sometimes, and it clearly wants to be set in a "relevant" time while also being technologically on par with other shows we've seen already, two ideas that are incompatible. There's over a hundred years of difference between discovery and Voyager, which I think was the latest-running series in terms of stardate?

    Discovery could have been a lot better, I think, if they had stayed closer to classic trek-type stories, but I'm still glad they tried steering away. You don't know your limits if you never test them.

  • Haven't started season 3 yet, I'm slowly catching up.

    It's not my all-time favorite, but it's a close tie for 2nd.

    In descending order, TNG, DS9/SNW, VOY, Lower Decks, and in no particular order, ENT, TOS, DIS.

  • I think it's less "anonymity" and more "person isn't afraid to suffer the potential immediate consequences of being a Fuckwad and thus says shit they would otherwise keep to themselves"

    Fuckwads get brave behind a keyboard since the computer screen won't punch them in the mouth for being racist.

  • when you put it like that, how could we say no?

    Jump

  • Not mine, but I find it funny

    Jump

  • Good question! I doubt it. I tried to show it to the 3 idiots in front of me, and two completely refused to even look at it, going so far as to hold their hands so they literally couldn't see the screen, and the one who was being loudest was saying it's OBVIOUSLY not the same incident, then it's OBVIOUSLY fake when it became obvious she can't refuse to see it's the same car and people and setting.

    At that point I walked away while she was still trying to talk. I tend to get angry when people who voted for a child rapist, actively and vocally support a child rapist, and tell me I'm wrong about the 8 different angles I've seen start spouting idioic bullshit around me.
