I came here to post this! Nicely done.

Apropos to absolutely nothing, what countries do y’all use when torrenting with a vpn?

I’ve been thinking that too. Haven’t seen it in over 20 years but I still remember it being a total mind job!

I’ve been noticing a lot of X-Files posts lately, is there a revival or reboot going on or something?

Sir, this is a Wendy’s lemmyshitpost.

Thistle is in the right! Justice now!!

I like this cat. ❤️

That… was quite the journey.

Not from zombies! 🧠

The showrunners had said from the very beginning they had the outline and knew how long it would go. (Also the end of this interview more recently.)

Producers don’t sign checks for shows that expensive without knowing what they’re signing up for.

I’d also say the regardless of debates on the quality (seems like audiences split pretty hard after S1), the general direction of the story was extremely clear and the entire inversion arc was almost complete. Anyway, regardless of if it were good or not, being robbed of a conclusion of any kind is infuriating.

And the fact that HBO canceled it one measly season away from being about to finish the story. I’ll never pay a cent for HBO again.

I swear to fucking god, I must be the only person alive who’s never had any issues playing any game I wanted to on a Mac. You know there’s fucking ways to accomplish this shit right??

Yo that comm badge is sweet! Did you buy or make?

Wow I never knew about all the bts drama of this film! Also found this illuminating:

Frank Mancuso, Sr. – who had been intimately involved with Star Trek ever since Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan – , did not really want to end the Original Crew run on The Final Frontier low note, especially with the 25th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise coming up, and wanted one more film, but found himself seriously hampered by the strictest of budget limitation: under NOconceivable circumstance was a potential new film to exceed the budget of The Final Frontier, not even by one dollar.

That’s Doctor Evil to you.

I hope the detached nacelles go the way of the S1 Discovery Klingons. They just look so goofy.

Yeah to say nothing about detached hulls! Like what’s with the Intrepid hulls also being detached and floaty? Seems like a system where you have to rely on transporters (I’m assuming?) to get between parts of the ship isn’t great fault tolerance in the event of something going wrong.

Detached shenanigans aside, I definitely didn’t mind how Athena ‘folded her wings’ after coming out of warp, that was badass!

Man, those scenes with Braka and Ake were really something. Wasn’t sure how I was going to like Giamatti in this series but I’m kinda digging him.

At least they got, “Botanically Scented.”

She did! And it’s insanely great, it’s got a 28.8bps modem!
