I'm a fan of "Star Trek" and not all this modern shite and that makes me an "edgelord"?

The rules are {person i disagree with} is {popular ad hominem buzzword}. The meaning of the buzzword is irrelevant.

Like the term "grifter"

Apparently just means "gets paid while saying a thing I don't like" now

So, I can just pretend that 2009 onward doesn't exist. And I'm doing that and will continue to do so.
Lower Decks is pretty funny but can be overly referential at times. The episodes are only 20 minutes.

Agreed. This is why I don’t agree with people that say all of Star Trek has been shite for the last ~20 years. Has a lot of it been shite? Absolutely. But there’s definitely some good stuff in there.

The fact that SNW went to the mostly old school episodic format as all the original shows did was a fantastic choice.

Don't understand the hate on her.

I assumed we all had a likable Peppermint Patty in high school who was way too into the girls' PE teacher and was a non-datable friend with the guys.

The gay aura around her isn't what I find annoying

She just tries too hard to pull off "cocky pilot" and it doesn't work

She is pretty good off the bridge as the sniping bag of snark, though. She pulls off being quippy.

The only eyeroll, as I have said, is Uhura. And even that isn't so bad. She isn't Rey.

Just finished the fantasy episode with M'Benga's daughter

I discovered some vital information that changes everything

Uhura has massive sweater puppies.

That is all, good day

Holy shite on a shingle

I don't know why this was so mindblowing to me, but I just found out the actress playing Ortegas is straight

And she said the character is not gay, just intentionally ambiguous.

My gaydar was waaaaaay off on the actress.

I would have bet my house



Here is another reminder that nice halogen headlights can dramatically improve how I view a character. . .

Just got to the Holodeck episode in s3

Sucked

Just felt like a contrived way to put La'an with Spock

Felt like it was written by online shippers

You can skip the musical episode. The one with puppets was weird. Making the Gorn basically Xenomorphs was a crazy change.

If you like TNG you should watch season 3 of Picard. It's basically TNG but decades later. Plus the return of the 1701-D.

Yeah. A guy in a suit. Now they are small slim aliens that lay eggs in you that way you from the inside. Makes them scarier than the Borg. Imo.
Savages that eat you or lay ends in you and have warp drive?
