Sage advice. In the meeting I will assume positive intent, like he’s protecting me from mummy’s curse.

Ya I will figure it out, it’s just another clown lording over an imaginary fief.

Can’t wait for code review lol.

if they ever do an oral history of the development of that series, it will be a juicy read.

I agree. I’ve never been interested in meeting any of the cast of any of the shows, buuut if I got the chance to meet any of them I would absolutely choose disco so I can ask how it went down.

It’s just the same story, Netflix picked it up then declined to renew.

Their process ignores gems like Scavenger’s Reign and workhorses like Prodigy in favor of, I dunno, bean counting?

… the removal of the hair, having done hairless Klingons with J.J.’s films. So I’d personally already gone through the Internet backlash, and so when Bryan said, ‘Yeah, we’re going to do bald Klingons, like it’s gonna be tricky, man.’ And so everyone was salting the broth.

Sometimes you just gotta keep making the same mistake until you learn. At least this guy is humble and practical about it.

cries in Scavenger’s Reign

Yeah really fun premise slathered in boring characters.

If I recall it devolved into some CW-flavor bullshit revolving around the girl, who is her real father, why is she special. Blah blah blah.

I won’t say no to more of this

Hell ya! One of Quark’s finest scenes:

They have weapons. You have weapons. Everyone has weapons. But right now, no one has a clear advantage. So the price of peace is at an all-time low. This is the perfect time to sit down and hammer out an agreement. Don’t you get it? Attacking the Cardassians now will only escalate the conflict and make peace more expensive in the long run. Now, I ask you, is that logical?

TNG character headcanon?

Worf is a narcissist. Reason: Kurn and Alexander were kept until no longer useful to him then discarded. #Justice4Kurn

Universe headcanon?

The Vulcans are augments and the romulans are the baseline diaspora. Reason: every time TPol was unphased by the anomaly because of her [superior] Vulcan physiology.

the best series finales are always double-episodes

I think you’re right:

TNG: 2-parter, check

DS9: 2-parter, check

VOY: 2-parter, check

ENT: 1-shot, check

DISCO: 1-shot, check

Romulans: Don’t Tread Mintaka On me

Dal discovered Adreek’s skeleton, and we learn that Aurelian skulls have spurs of bone projecting from them, presumably covered by the feathers.

Me: Aurelians have…feathers?

Some searching later…

Me: Oh Aurelian not El-Aurian

Enterprise getting a second lease on life by virtue of no longer being the worst? I’m here for it 💪

As an ENT fan, excellent choices 👌

“The house I grew up in was built by the Dublin Corporation,” Meaney says.

“How could we build houses then and can’t build them now?.. It’s fking Thatcherism, Reaganism, the neoliberals and the trickle-down economy that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael both bought into, [the idea] that the market will sort everything out. B***ocks.”

Our boy doesn’t hold back and I’m here for it!

Oh, this definitely includes Renegades 👌

If you do that you miss much of the best Trek villains:

Kai Wynn and Gul Dukat

They are part of reason folks are advising you to hang in there.

But ultimately just enjoy it and skip any episode that is boring you; if you make it halfway you’ll probably want to watch the few relevant ones you skipped.

p.s. Buckle up 🖖

Enterprise all the way.

It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.

Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.

Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.

Highlights include:

• Captain Archer feuding with Duras
• Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
• Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
• Grapplers!

Low points include:

• Decontamination
• Archer/Tpol tension
• Cogenitor episode
• The finale

Came here to mention La Sirena from Picard.

Hologram bridge crew with fully hologram passenger quarters, the introverts starship par excellence 👌
