Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

I don’t want to be that guy, but given the state of the industry, and series being cancelled without warning, it feels more like 2004 to me.

And no, it’s not a perfect comparison.

One Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Scene Made Christina Chong & Paul Wesley Want To Puke

Now I want to rewatch this scene with what the actors were going through in mind. Egad.

That’s interesting - it seems like Melissa Navia, Celia Gooding, and Jess Bush had a similar experience filming the most recent episode.

I’m not mad about it, but that first shot of Uhura and Kirk has serious Scooby Doo energy.

Correct - episode 7 is called “Those Old Scientists”.

I think that should be a pretty big grain of salt, given that every other series save Prodigy has seasons of exactly the same length (Discovery’s final season will also be ten episodes).

All right, the OP has made their sales pitch, and further discussion is unlikely to be productive.

Just a reminder: going to other spaces on the internet in order to manipulate votes or otherwise cause trouble is uncool, and we will take action against anyone we catch doing it. I’m proud to say that this does not appear to have happened in this case, so thank you all for that.

A further reminder that posts of this nature are considered off-topic for c/startrek - Fediverse posts belong on c/quarks.

Star Trek: Adventures — Captain's Log: My first impressions

Hello, all! Several days ago, one of you fine Lemmings posted a link to the new solo-oriented edition of Star Trek: Adventures. As one does, I immediately bought it and read the entire 300-some-odd pages. Lol. If anyone else was considering doing so, or is even remotely curious about it, here are my first impressions and a...

Wow, thank you for this detailed description!

How different are the game mechanics of this solo version from the main STA game? You mentioned that they are different, but also fairly compatible.

it hasn’t been said publicly if the conversion of that series into a single film was completed before the strike began in May

It’s very unlikely that it was - when they announced that “Section 31” will be a movie instead of a series, they also announced a new writer, Craig Sweeny. Unless he had a pretty big head start before the announcement, I doubt much work has been done.

Here’s the SAG-AFTRA FAQ for members.

You cannot participate in conventions such as Comic-Con on behalf of, or to promote, companies we are striking against - this includes appearances, panels, fan meet and greets, etc. involving struck work. You may participate in a convention in ways that are wholly independent of characters from struck work or sponsorship by struck companies. If you have any questions relating to this distinction, please contact [email protected].

Please make sure your language settings have BOTH “Undetermined” and “English” selected. That is the culprit 90% of the time.

What was that bit about Pike’s girlfriend looking for Dilithium?

Pelia, the new engineer, is out looking for dilithium - not Batel.

It was previously established that Pelia and Amanda are friends.

Just send them an e-mail reminding them that the economics of the future are somewhat different, and money doesn’t exist in the 24th century.

What's your views on PIC season 3?

I’m currently rewatching it, and at first I admit I hated the season and didn’t understand all the praise it got, but on this second viewing, I am actually warming up a bit to it. It still is deeply flawed, with a lot of things that don’t make sense or could have been done better, but I kinda like it regardless. What do...

I thought it got off to a promising start, but ultimately it wasn’t for me.

By the end of it, it seemed to me like nothing more than a series of clumsy excuses to get the band back together, without much regard for the actual story allegedly being told. I was never really excited by the prospect of the big TNG reunion, so I wasn’t a fan.

How is that Guggenheim book? I haven’t heard much about it since the original announcement.

This seems like a bit of a Reverse Tuvix situation…

The system is a lot of fun - very narrative-focused, which is a great fit for a Trek game.

The game’s been around since 2017, and the company seems to be on good footing.

The fact that it was originally written for a theatrical film probably helps.

I believe it’s a re-arrangement and re-recording, yeah.

Canon Connections: Strange New Worlds 2x04 - Among the Lotus Eaters

• The title refers to the Homer’s “Odyssey” when Odysseus’ voyage reached the land of the Lotus-eaters. These people’s primary food source was the fruit and flowers of the lotus, which was powerfully narcotic, and caused those of Homer’s crew who ate it to forget their desire to return home....

Rigel VII was first mentioned in “The Menagerie, Part I”.

I would be so mad were it not for the fact that “The Cage” first aired in '88.

    The situation is already being addressed - we are going to remove this, as we’d rather not publicize platform-wide issues.

    Yeah, it’s weird how they’re embracing this…foundational aspect of the character.

    @apps is it possible to subscribe to the timelin of a account (like @startrek with a lot of postings per day) using 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.

    ValueSubtracted Mod ,
    @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

    I think you could follow it, but also mute it.

    To be honest, though, I find the overall experience is better with separate accounts for Mastodon and Lemmy.

    It’s interesting the the showrunners have been giving interviews about the episodes all season, then.

    ValueSubtracted OP Mod ,
    @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

    I suppose it’s possible that the writers did the interviews prior to the strike, with the interviewers having seen early screeners.

    Right now, content like that is welcome in c/startrek - it’s a pretty big tent.

    That’s not to say we’d never set up a dedicated community for something like that, but we’d want to be sure that’s the way to go.
