Episodes 1&2 got 3*, but he’s given episode 3 only 2*, so he thinks the exact opposite of me. I didn’t like 1 (I would’ve preferred if the doctor and the nurse had found a non-violent solution), was bored by 2 (not a real Trekkie, obviously), and 3 was my favourite.
I discovered him as a teenager in the late 2000s, and was surprised to rediscover him recently that he’s still reviewing Star Trek, and other sci-fi shows like The Orville, etc. Love his reviews even if I don’t always agree.
Also apparently he was invited to pitch stories to the Voyager writing crew, but they all sucked so they were not bought.
At least. With the strike(s) going on it could be even longer. Though I presume that the studios will try to pump out new content as quickly as possible once productions are possible again.
This is really what Strange New Worlds is most about: giving us precious knowledge about what our heros in the original Star Trek were all doing before we met them on the Enterprise in the TV sets in our living rooms in the 1960s
I respectfully disagree. I don’t think the most important parts of this show are the things it depicts legacy characters doing, though your review mentions little else.
Given your clear fondness for TOS, I’d be interested in reading you compare the two more!
@ikesau Thanks for the comment. To read what I think of non-legacy characters in Strange New Worlds, try some of my reviews of other episodes of the series (for example, the time-travel episode in which Singh and Kirk are the main characters, and I discuss Singh as much as Kirk).
Picard and SNW: Best SF TV Series
LD: Best Animated TV Series/Special
Anson Mount, Patrick Stewart: Best Actor in a TV Series
Jonathan Frakes, Ethan Peck, Ed Speleers, Todd Stashwick: Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series
Jess Bush, Celia Rose Gooding, Jeri Ryan: Best Supporting Actress in a TV Series
Paul Wesley, Amanda Plummer: Best Guest Star in a TV Series
I can see Lower Decks maybe taking that award, unfortunately I don’t see SNW winning alone, and I strongly suspect Elizabeth Debicki will take the Best Actress Award.
Treat the first line of you post as the title. You can see that your whole post, including hashtags, is on one line, and so creates a large messy title over here.
Keep hashtags out of the title as they create links that are messy
The next lines are treated as the body of the post … you can put everything else here including hashtags (which will work well) etc.
If you want to tag anyone else, make sure to tag them after the lemmy community, as lemmy only pays attention to the first tag (which is a measure to prevent spam)
I wrote a little demo of what works here: hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095
Otherwise … really appreciate the effort to try to bridge these two spaces!
@apps is it possible to subscribe to the timelin of a #Lemmy account (like @startrek with a lot of postings per day) using #Fedilab without having those postings flooding my personal timeline?
I'm worried to flood my personal timeline and on the other hand it is possible to put an instances timeline on a list without directly following it.
Ooh, just followed my first lemmy community from Mastodon. Seems I just have to replace the "!" with "@" when I search for them. They seem to show up as a "Group" here. Nice!
@veronica@startrek yep, and I follow some of those #startrek communities as well and it’s great. Just as a warning you will see every comment as a post, so make sure to click on them so you see the whole “thread” and get the context.
I love having an entire live TV channel dedicated to re-runs of old Star Trek episodes
Ok so, I have a little Kodi setup which includes a live tv system hooked up to Pluto so I can grab a bunch of channels for free. Turns out, this includes not one, but two whole channels of just Star Trek!
The first one is mostly TNG and the original series, and the other one ("creatively" called More Star Trek) has mainly Voyager and Deep Space Nine. I like these because I don't even have to think about what episode to watch, and can just enjoy some Star Trek!
I used to run a plugin on my Kodi that would make TV-style channels based on the original airing channel, complete with EPG and everything.
However, it wouldn't let you add lists of shows and create channels that way. I never got around to making my version, but perhaps someone else has done the work since then.
