That is my thinking, too.
Agreed. For me, the only “magic” Star Trek needed was stories about relationships that took their time unfolding, with competency. There occasionally were unexplained encounters, but the focus was always on something that could be solvable when the crew worked together. There was resolution. Plus, I really liked the episodic structure of TNG and DS9, where I could get onboard with any episode almost. Within the self contained episodes there could be “twists of fate” that exist today. No more giant fantastic leaps than we already make by believing everything is in the future with their tech.
The “new” trek is too focused on being cinematic. Discovery was interesting at the beginning but it was overly precious and predictable, and overly representative. Designed to keep people hooked. I think the quality suffered greatly. I think representation is super important, having characters with diverse identities, but doing it for diversity’s sake isn’t the way. If we’re really in the future, then people just are.
What a nice interview. I love the inside baseball on the craft, but also the people. It’s wonderful when the players are behind the message and also live that way. Not just selling a fantasy. Robin is so vulnerable. It’s nice to see her “humanity”, and Leonard’s, which made her a great Vulcan. 40 years really goes by.
I know you’re joking but I really thought this, even though average life for men is 74 or so. He had a fiancée too. They didn’t get to marriage. Was sudden to his colleagues. And no cause given. It just… sucks. I wish for comfort for his family.
I wish this comment need not have happened in my time.

And Dune was also used.
New Reddit on mobile for me doesn’t show the same options as old. I have an account so I can curate content and block bots and users from view. On new Reddit, it only shows me report or save for alt options. I have to switch to old to see all the options. So irritating.
Welcome, new user!
You can either spoof your location and payment to India for cheap rate, or go to account share Reddit and get on someone’s family plan. Some even do family India, so it’s cheap family, at that. If you don’t have friends that do this already.
Just make sure you double check the user against the thread of scammers.
Hey, I’m not sure if you know how un accepting your snarky jab is. It’s very un trek like.
I’m also not sure you appreciate how important representation is. It is very important that people see and read themselves in stories. It could save someone’s life. That importance cannot be understated or taken for granted.
This was likely tailored to the demographic that Picard serves. And while the writing wasn’t elegant, it’s still something. Hopefully it leads to more, as this character development is now canon.
Society is slowly crawling out of hetero normative times, where it is thankfully starting to be more common than ever to see diverse identity mainstream.
Millennials still have a streak of heteronormative thinking and cynicism, but hopefully they are one of the last generations to experience the closet.

One simply does not use Telegram - founder is sketchy and it now primarily has alt-right, conspiracy and terrorist uses.
I know some use it for trackers and to bootlick crackers, but it’s still not the best.
Very cool timeline!
I found one error: Star Wars was released 5/25/77 not 23rd.
In a situation like this, for broad illustrative purpose, no big deal. And I really love this journey that’s been charted. However as a Sci Fi fan looking to learn, and one who knew this date immediately, though not others, I just wonder about the correctness of other data.
Turns out she is like several comedians and actors: fine as long you didn’t know them as people. Then they disappointed.
Like most professions, there are some people who use their platform and profile for good. Then there are those who are self interested and warped.
I’m all for variety. But honestly Marvel got the kids. Let Star Wars shift to the generations that grew up on it so they can get good writing again, and maybe R rated Vader.
I thought Discovery was like that somewhat. It could have been smarter though imo. Less cinematic.
I guess the days of slower paced episodes allowing for reasoning with silence here and there are gone.
Please update us if you get the dictionary out!
I see the post image fine, btw
