I dreaded the musical episode and I was wrong, it was fantastic. I dreaded the Lower Decks crossover episode and I was wrong, it was fantastic. I dreaded this episode and unfortunately, this time it was even worse than I feared.

I’ll admit, it was well made, the technical and performance sides of the puppets were outstanding and I genuinely laughed out loud on several occasions, but holy hell was it cringe from start to finish. Is this what anyone wants from ST??

I was so relieved that

but ffs, did we really need to waste what precious time is left with this series on… this??

The biggest weakness of Kurtzman’s era was that he granted way too much freedom to people’s ideas. Exploration and growth are of course necessary if Star Trek is going to survive (Even the 90’s shows got flak: DS9 stayed in one place and didn’t explore like the Enterprise, Voyager was going the “wrong direction” by coming home instead of going outward), but any artist will tell you that self-imposed restraint is what makes any work really spark. Some ideas should be rejected because they just don’t fit somehow and I’m shocked that no one realized it enough to put their foot down in this instance.

I realize that this was this season’s obligatory hijinks episode (the previous entries of which I generally liked and in the case of Spock Amok loved), but for me this one didn’t just cross the line, it jumped the shark.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk. 😅

That kitty nuzzle tho… ❤️

He’s gonna get a gob full of ketracel white, I’ll tell you what!

That was great! I thought I knew where it was going but it totally surprised both me and my wife and we were like, “Damn, that was pretty good!”

Very hyped for shore leave episode now, the crew has earned it!

Yeah it’s not terrible, I just wish you could send from them as well.

You hush your mouth, Event Horizon is awesome!!

I’ve been using an app called Coax (Apple only, which will disappoint some) to do this with my Plex library and it’s glorious. Beautiful retro styled schedule grid, automated channel/schedule creation, even has a weather channel with Jazz playing. I’m rediscovering stuff that’s been sitting idle on my server for years because it’s just fun to see what’s “on” and be like, ‘Oh yeah, let’s check that out for a few minutes’ and then I end up watching the whole thing.

Oh ffs 😂

Sitting here on lemmy scrolling doom after doom and thinking, “Why am I doing this to myself?” And then this comes along and makes me giggle uncontrollably for 5 minutes and it’s clear that this is the gold I was sifting for.

That’s true. Why is that?

No worries. I almost deserved it. 😉

Ahhh I did click that but was viewing on my phone and it loaded to halfway through the comments and I thought it had just dumped me in a forum discussion. 🤦‍♂️

Cool thanks. This doesn’t appear in the original article you provided and when I searched the only result for the topic was that article.

So where’s the actual story with the ’provided screenshots’? This article is just some rando saying things.

I’ve never used last.fm but I saw this video the other day that suggests a way to use it with listenbrainz to create your own algorithm to help ween off subscription services. I’ve been meaning to go back and take some notes but maybe it’s of use?

I’ve been trying to remember what those were called, would love to try and get my hands on one.

Exactly!!

Challenge Mode: Turn SuperTrain into a mega blockbuster or GTFO!

I still can’t believe that all they needed was one more season to bring it all home, and stupid fucking HBO canceled it. I’m still angry whenever I remember it.

Can’t attack what you can’t see. 🧠

Yeah, I was wondering how on earth this would work. If my organization doesn’t operate or host in Utah and they file suit against me why wouldn’t I tell them to pound sand?
