I always wonder how the guy playing Travis felt about the writers creating an alien that stereotypes all human beings as white.

I mean, they could have at least explored how the character Travis felt about it. Real missed opportunity.

For most of Star Trek’s history, the Prime timeline holds together no matter what happens to it.

I respectfully disagree.

James Kirk of the united earth space probe agency or whatevs sends his regards to the united federation of planets 🙃

Later in Disco we see… many anachronisms, which makes it hard to write of earlier inconsistencies as just errata.

My own conclusion is that star trek is like a jigsaw puzzle both with some pieces missing and some pieces from other puzzles entirely.

Edit: as a counter point, I would say that statement is true of other (smaller) franchises, like planet of the apes.

Harumphs intensify

Me watching twilight for the first time with my daughter and seeing this scene:

Trying to think of it in terms of the real world is senseless.

It’s can also be fun 😎

Since Picard 3 it’s canon that the transporter is a meat printer that relies on cached DNA to do shallow copies.

Hacking that cache was the big plot reveal of how the borg-changelings infiltrated starfleet.

ENT 04x07 The Forge might be the earliest human mindmeld and the recipient is brain damaged and comatosed:

SOVAL: He’s comatose, brain-damaged, and he’s human. A mind-meld is dangerous under the best of conditions, but under these…

Later

SOVAL: I don’t know if this has ever been attempted with a human before.

SOVAL: My mind to your mind. Our minds are one. Our thoughts are joined. Yes.

SOVAL: I see what you see. The embassy. I’m at my station. At your station. So many new people arriving for the summit. I don’t recognise them all, but some I know. A package. That’s all right. I don’t need to see it. Go right through. Who are you? Who?

Thanks fam, I’m gonna check it out. Love me some ENT 😎

Shamelessly stolen from imgur. I too have no honor

Wish I could remember the DS9 episode where they are cloaked and hunting convoys; someone wonders “is this honourable?” and is answered to the effect “Honour is winning, duh”

ENT is a great beneficiary of picard shitting the bed for 3 seasons 😎

Such a good episode 😎

Now just what in the hell is that doing there?

Edit: not sure you can make out the blurry captain of the Orville here getting scolded on the Enterprise

It’s hard to come up with a circumstance and a buy-in where you can still have Star Trek adventures with real stakes and real peril, but it’s also a school.

White Squall. In space. 🤞

when I realize I have no new treks to watch

Fuck yes, sign me up! ENT fans want to get fed!

The show ended right as Archer entered his prime, just after we saw him broken and beaten by a real year of hell. I want to see that prime era Archer (of which we were robbed) in flashbacks as the current one is once again broken and beaten by another year of hell.

I really hope they get this off the ground 🙏

and all distros jumped into the honeypot

As a filthy casual this is the most distressing part.

I’ve observed the situation shift in just a few years from

“Winter Systemd is coming”

To

“Winter Systemd is here, it’s everywhere, and i hate it”

It’s obvious in HN because of the wide range of obscure topics (eg installing scaffolding on old British smoke stacks) that occasionally arise to the front page, all the ones on that topic are quickly flagged to oblivion.

You don’t have to be a genius to see the pattern 🤷‍♀️

Technically correct is the best kind of correct right?

How about this alternative with Burnham’s many mothers instead of Picard’s many sons
