@usernamefactory @startrek I don't know if I agree with that premise. I've run into any number of people who became Trek fans in general by starting with Kelvin.

That said, I don't know that breaking the movies into more timelines is a great idea.

And I personally would be skeptical that anything from the proposed movies would ever turn into a TV series. They are really operating in separate spaces right now. And P+ is shedding series faster than they're adding them.

Now that I've thought about it some more, it's unlikely the movies would be making any decisions based off of what's best for the streaming shows. That would probably be seen as the tail wagging the dog.

That said, I've definitely encountered people who enjoyed the films but skipped the shows on account of not knowing where to start and finding the relationship too confusing. It would make sense to pair a successful "early days" movie with an "early days" spinoff series to lure some of that casual audience to streaming.

I remember liking the caption that any story is improved by the addition of Dracula.

Could you imagine if that is the long con here? I’d love that.

It's almost like it was never about being accurate, and it's based purely in hatred, racism, and contrarianism... almost

I'm sure they'll be here any minute....

Thank you. It was getting stuffy in here.

This guy was in everything! From Jericho, to bones, CSI, star trek, etc. First thing I saw him in was when my wife made me watch ghost whisperer with her (jokes on her, I’ll watch Jennifer Love Hewitt any day). After that I’d always notice his face pop up in a bunch of shows. Really sad to see him go, ALS sucks

I’m find Paul Wesley strangely unlikable. He looks kinda weird. His movements are odd. Nothing is wrong with him, he just makes me uncomfortable. Would you please share what you like about him? I’d like to get over this weird feeling.

commedesbuffalos , 4 months ago

@pizzaHate @Reverendender I also do not enjoy the Wesley Kirk thank you for voicing your feelings about him

weariedfae , 5 months ago

Aw sad I was just talking about him the other day.

We just watched his Voyager episode and it got me wanting to watch Alien Nation and Robot Jox again.

I’m with you.

The fun thing about the Matalas post-TNG/legacy thing for me is that it nicely straddles the line between being new and nostalgic. Seven would be captain and a whole bunch of other stuff too would be new, but still connected to the TNG era past.

Oh for sure. While mods behaving badly isn’t anything new on the web, I can’t help but feel that this is a Reddit hang over culturally speaking.

Lemmy is a smaller and different space that really shouldn’t have to tolerate this from a mod. And from what I can tell, the behaviour is repeated.

Interestingly, I think it establishes a case against topic specific instances. They’re also an admin of the instance. For anything to be done about this would require acting against the place for Star Trek content on lemmy. Which is obviously a hard ask.

@CindyLouWho2 @startrek Ugh how did I miss that? I've edited it in.

CindyLouWho2 , 6 months ago

I always find those lists hard to read - just too much info. It’s hard to catch everything!

This has been a great year for new Star Trek stories

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.

billmason OP , 7 months ago

@samus12345 @startrek I didn't see it either until the Memory Alpha entry for the episode listed her as there.

I wonder if it was a case where they didn't have the original actress and/or didn't really have any lines for her. So why put her up front and center to say nothing and then fans complain that everyone else in Nova Squadron was back and talking and she wasn't.

I have no real idea, just speculating.

Paramount if you pull an Inside Job and kill LD I SWEAR I’m going to do some things. I don’t know what yet, but I’ll do them!

ieightpi , 8 months ago

Damn I really do like the lemmy community more. On other social media aggregators, people are flipping the fuck out.

The more reasonable discourse about this article, on Lemmy is just healthier for everyone’s mental state.

That being said, I tend to agree this is a nothing burger and Leer Decks is likely fine for a few more years. It’s a low budget show and the writing is on point making a broad range of fans happy. I’ve heard this show has actually brought in a lot of new Trek fans too.

Having been there, it’s so strange to see her in that space and to recognize it even though it has changed so much. When she says “this must be an early version of the Smithsonian” I almost felt like I was time traveling back there with her.
