Star trek Voyager: Elite force!

It was so good for its time. I loved it so much as a kid. I especially loved the portable pattern buffer being a great in-universe solution to explain how a game character can carry many different weapons. It fits so well into the universe that I half expected to see such a thing on the shows someday. It would have been too disruptive to plot development for the characters always to have what they need with them, though.

Thanks for the giveaway, amazing to see you in the fediverse!

Yeah we need humanoid lizard people with chameleon eyes and tiny inconvenient T-Rex arms.

So nutrek is an umbrella term for Discovery, Lower decks, SNW and Prodigy right? It’s it common for people to hate all 4 with a passion? They’re all sooooo different. I can get hating one, because they are all basically different genres.

I think people are afraid if they support one that they hate, then we’ll get more of the same. So have a knee jerk reaction to be toxic when their hated show is discussed. The irony being that historically star trek is a show that seeks to show an example of interpersonal harmony. These people do want an outlet to discuss their grievances about the shows but mostly see that outlet when someone mentions the show because they love it.

If someone hates all 4, they must be pretty deep into some extreme ideology that somehow doesn’t conform with all of Star Trek.

Maybe startrek.website needs a neutral zone that only allows constructive criticism but still provides an outlet for these feelings. 😅

Edit- I forgot Picard existed, whoops!

Expanse did it well too. There is a character that uses different pronouns, and people just used the right pronouns for them. Thats it. Boom representation achieved.

Now I get that trills were used to stealthily start trying to get trans and gender queer screentime in a very hostile 90s era.

In discovery, Adiras coming out had to once again be aided with the framing of the trill.

Adira had to loudly declare their preferred pronouns in the deep future when all of this was supposed to be no big deal.

It would have been so intelligent if they were just called by their pronouns and were just treated like any other character.

I understood the writers managed to get a coming out story that a lot of people can relate to. But in the future people should just be, and not need to come out.

Am I missing out on some fantastic space shows and movies? I watched the expanse as it came out, the same with Orville. What else is there that suggests market saturation? I need some good stuff this winter 😊

I can’t remember who said this in the show in Universe; maybe Janeway? But I think a similar question was posed, and the answer was that nobody would have anything to do if exploration was entirely automated. It’s fun and exciting and gives people’s lives meaning.

My headcanon is that many mundane things are automated, and we don’t see them because they aren’t plot-relevant.

This is cool. I use an app a lot like this but for my puppy. Logging is super helpful at the start of getting a puppy and trying to track bowel habits and training progress.

If you ever feel like it, a mode for tracking puppies is useful. I currently use "Doggy Time" by a developer that also makes a similar baby tracker.

I say this one is canon and it's proof that Trip didn't die in enterprise. The hologram just got super inaccurate and twisted as it got passed around with lossy compression in a game of telephone like an old meme.

If this was a different franchise I would see this as hyper commercial pandering and useless plastic junk.

But every year my good friends and I have an ornament exchange party where we are supposed to bring an ornament that embodies ourselves in some way or another. This would be perfect, as obviously me being here I love star trek, animals and Data is one of my favorites. Alas on the website I don’t see a direct way to buy this in Canada.

😆

This makes sense.

All they care about is the general well-being of the temporal federation. Perhaps it’s so difficult and wiggly wobbly that it’s worthwhile letting one of your temporal agents languish in the 1900s for decades if in the end it works out for the timeline. Especially if strange circumstances somehow strengthen their position in the temporal wars.

Why were the temporal police so concerned with Janeways earlier infractions but totally left her alone when she came back to rescue voyager earlier, turbo fucked the borg and brought future tech with her in the finale? Any fun headcanons or observation there?

😆

Trek word

Not USS EssyMcEssface?

I have had USB-C phones, battery packs and other devices since 2015. Not a single port or cable has failed me so far.

Worrying about the durability of USB-C 7 years later seems unwarranted. But I can see wanting to use up your lighting cable subscription before moving on.

I told my partner, just get the phone ASAP when you can, it’s the only non usb thing we have left.

This is great! One could make an entire YouTube channel filled with the original clips and their inside jokes transposed from lower decks.

The US centricity is actually an interesting topic in-universe. Especially because the federation should try and work hard to make member worlds feel equal. Having so much Americentrism would alienate the aliens. The federation has done a bad job of this 😆

Of course the real answer is that the people that make it are American and it’s probably largely for American audiences and therefore producers and writers feel like they need to show people things they are comfortable with. And when they do show other cultures they are seen through an American lens. Which is why the Irish were so cliche that O’Brien even teleported the straw around their feet when they beamed into Picard’s enterprise. 👨‍🌾

Which Lemmy am I in? Which way to the daystrom institute?

I’m taking it at face value that old earth figures of speech and idioms would be problematic on a TAS bridge with the nomaly going on, they addressed that by the cat person responding that “there is more than one way to disembowel a human”, we wouldn’t like people casually throwing that around. It’s also tongue in cheek as illustrated by the knickerstonians and the ship blowing up. It’s meant to be silly.

The tapestry of star trek (and science fiction) has always included silly and over the top alongside the serious, thought provoking and intelligent.

Cornering the star trek parody and comedy market with their own product is genius btw. Like how Elvis’s manager sold “I hate Elvis” shirts.

Congrats Montreal! So far you can’t go wrong with more bike paths, but I guess that’s easy to say for a Calgarian.
