Dunno what I'm doing here. I'm a fan of federation, but not sure about microblogging. Trying see what's going on with Trek and arboriculture.

@Son_of_dad

I've only yelled at my screen once, so that's a big improvement over previous seasons.

Heh... Yea, I forgot about that. Trek isn't always the best at consistency, or perfect logic. They could still pretend that never happened, or give some hand wavy explanation for why Kira and Dukat never mentioned what they look like.

It's out there now. I guess we'll see where it goes. I'm not upset. There's been worse design decisions in the franchise :^)

@ValueSubtracted @setsneedtofeed

It could go either way. Someone around here postulated they were proto changlings. That's pretty interesting. There's other cool ways to spin it, and lame ways also of course. Like all this stuff, I think "Ok, now what?". I hope what they come up with outweighs the fun mystery of the Breen.

@ValueSubtracted @JWBananas

I'll go further and say I'm not in favor of remasters. I want everything original, low res warts and all. Tasteful enhancements don't really bother me much, but I'm just as happy with the original versions, and consider them a record of history.

@metaversemorgan @blewit

I've never been to a con, and likely never will, but it's a lot of work for an actor to be there. They take time out of their lives, have to be charming, and operate the assembly line of autographs on a multi day event. I'm not sure there's a clearly correct answer, but them being there is a real job with real work. Having them do it all gratis is a big ask.

@onehellofausername @sarsaparilyptus

I'm pretty cool with subpar episodes. They still add to the world, and give me something to watch with characters I enjoy. Of the series I like(almost all of them), there isn't a single episode I skip on rewatch. The "bad" ones bulk out the series and make it last longer.

@worfamerryman

I recently completed all the official releases myself. I'm now working on the fan made movies/shows(give Star Trek Continues a shot. It's like TOS, and in some ways better). In general, I don't like any of the movies. They're ok, but I'd prefer they took the budgets, and made 10(or more!) tv episodes instead. I like more thought, and less action/effects. TAS was ok. The kitschy cartoon style is cool. I'm from the era, so it's nostalgic for me :^D

@lxskllr@mastodon.world avatar

@x4740N @ValueSubtracted

I don't like musicals either, and I enjoyed it. Adding an exception to "I've seen all of the $tv_series" is kind of lame. Maybe you won't like it, but it only takes an hour to find out. I've spent way worse hours in my life than watching a tv show I generally like with a dud episode.

@lxskllr@mastodon.world avatar

@ValueSubtracted

Pretty silly episode. I'm not a fan of musicals, and I was dubious going in, but it was fun. They managed to make it as good as a musical could be for my tastes. I'm happy it was made, and I'm happy to have seen it. That's about the highest praise I could give for something like this.

@fades @z3n0x
You won't get the motivation from me. I went from "Dunno bout this shit, but let's see where it goes" in s01 to yelling at my screen in every other season. I won't be watching s05. Life's too short for mindless completionism.

Some people like it. Maybe you're one of those people. There's no accounting for taste, and only you can decide.

@lxskllr@mastodon.world avatar

@ValueSubtracted

We'll see... Can't say I'm stoked, but maybe it'll be better than I anticipate. I'm not really a fan of musicals in the first place. I could count the ones I find 'acceptable' on one hand, and can only think of two atm. If it turns out merely 'acceptable' I'll be happy enough. Hopefully the actors had fun.

lxskllr , to Star Trek in Anybody feel like 2023 could be another 1997 for Star Trek?
@lxskllr@mastodon.world avatar

@reddig33 @Tired8281 I'm fine with reusing stories/themes. There's only few blues songs, but remixing them still keeps me entertained.

I have zero complaints about SNW. I might rewrite some of it, and I also might screw them up by doing so. All I'm looking for is a good story with characters I like, and nitpicks aside, SNW is knocking it out of the park.

lxskllr , to Star Trek in Would You Try New Pastimes If Star Trek Level Medical Care Was Available?
@lxskllr@mastodon.world avatar

@Nmyownworld Nothing I can think of. My hobby(arboriculture) is pretty dangerous. I just do my best to minimize risks.

A holodeck would be a game changer though. While perhaps not truly dangerous with safeties on, doing Worf's calisthenics program, or recreating historic battles where you meet on a field with sword and shield would be hugely fun and intimidating, even with the safety factor.

lxskllr , to Star Trek in Which bartender do you feel was better utilized in their show, Guinan or Quark?
@lxskllr@mastodon.world avatar

@Acamon @BaroqueInMind

No problem starting with s03. There's very little continuity between seasons, and the parts that call back to earlier seasons are fleeting and non crucial. Each season can be watched out of order, but within seasons, they need to be watched serially.

FTR, I liked the whole series, but I'd have trouble recommending s01-02 generally.

@Datas_Cat_Spot

I'll make a reply sometimes from mastodon, and I don't know where it goes. Sometimes it shows up in a thread, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it's delayed. I don't have a good enough grip on this stuff to figure it out exactly, but I suspect it's a federation issue of some kind.

Getting into the nuts & bolts of how the federation scheme works would probably give some clues, but that's a lot of work.
