  • How do I deal with someone who's been shitting in front of my house?

    Jump

  • My little pup definitely has favourite spots to shit - often it’s in front of a house he knows another dog lives in. It’s not exactly the same spot every time, but there are very much creatures of habit and I wouldn’t rule it out.

  • When a Discovery fan complains about rabid Trekkies attacking them for not hating the new show

    Jump

  • I didn’t find him to be the only interesting character, but I agree. They sacrificed depth and nuance in favour of a shallow shock twist. One of the bigger missteps of season 1.

  • Adds up

    Jump

  • And in the time it took you to check all those futures you could have finished the task and also gotten lunch.

  • Episodic FTW!

    Jump

  • And the worst outright spoil twists for you.

    I wonder who the mystery villain could be - maybe the character with a grudge from two seasons ago that the “previously on” chose to remind us about?

    I just try not to pay attention to them.

  • It's still over a week away, but I have to start mentally preparing myself now for the incoming Tellarite delegation.

  • Showing up late is no problem for me. Showing up early, though….

  • Saw this and thought of you

    Jump

  • Dust me, slayer. Dust me like one of your Transylvanian girls.

  • What sort of woman do I have to be if I want to be the vampire?

  • Third season. Enterprise had a gas leak.

  • Waiting for the other person to finish...

    Jump

  • Other people waiting to ask ADHDers what point they were originally trying to make before they interrupted themselves to ramble for five minutes about a dozen other things…

    And knowing they won’t remember.

  • Best Dracula movie?

    Jump

  • Nosferatu 2024. I love Eggers work.

  • She's gonna blow!

  • The thing’s gotta have a tailpipe.

  • For no reason in particular...

    Jump

  • Me, a Canuck, seeing a potential Eurovision entry as part of the budget.

  • The Good Trek

    Jump

  • Instead of showing WHY something is good and just and explore it within an episode, they just present it as fact, and then they go off to some random adventure.

    This is an odd sentiment to me, because I feel like you’re describing what Star Trek always did, and is generally seen as one of its great strengths. We didn’t need to be told that black women and white men could serve together as equals, they just showed Uhura on the bridge functioning like any other officer as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

    And this is one of the many respects in which I think Orville falls on its face. Topa never appears in any episode that isn’t about her oppression in one way or another. She’s not allowed to just be a character like any other, taking part in random stories about growing up aboard ship. That casual representation is missing.

  • TrekMovie.com - Rick Berman And Brannon Braga Defend The Controversial ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Series Finale

    Jump

  • Ah, that sounds right. It’s been too many years since I revisited B5, but I do remember that we were lucky enough to have Ivanova make one last appearance in the actual finale.

  • TrekMovie.com - Rick Berman And Brannon Braga Defend The Controversial ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Series Finale

    Jump

  • I think the core concept could have worked. Look at Babylon season 4's finale, which was at the time expected to wrap up the series: they hop through future time periods to see the enduring legacy these characters leave behind. It worked well, and there's no reason it couldn't have worked even better if we already had an emotional attachment to the future era we jumped to.

    What failed was that the "enduring legacy" was to be consumed like a daytime soap in between shifts. Frakes and Sirtis playing themselves a decade younger sure didn't help. Maybe if they put them together on the Titan at the appropriate age and crafted a new story that somehow called back to the founding of the Federation in a way that tied both periods together meaningfully they could have had something.

  • Demonstrating that they’ve always known, and just haven’t cared.

  • Why not?

  • Where is this article getting their demographic numbers, wishful thinking?

    Oh don’t worry, it’s very scientific:

    If you think I’m underestimating the number of Trek’s female viewers, scroll through the comments on any Star Trek-related content anywhere on the internet. Then count the number of female commenters. You’ll see a lot of guys named Steve, but you won’t see many Jennifers.
