Everyone is toxic and lovely now. Literal Nazis are a thing again. I know the pendulum swings back and forth, but this time it managed to swing straight into an open septic tank.

Without fail, no matter how caustic my comment is, it’s completely ignored until my sister joins in and then promptly receives half a dozen death threats in her Messenger. Nerd fandoms have rarely ever been kind or welcoming to women but it’s at an all time low these last few years. gently caress fandoms.

Apparently cast breakdowns for the Picard Show is out. Edit: Nevermind, the source doesn't seem that solid, and there's no confirmation from other outlets. E2: Here it is anyway, for those curious. http://www.thathashtagshow.com/2019/03/01/picard-series-character-update/ I'm not finding anything particularly clickbaity on the website, but it's still an obscure outlet. xerxus fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Mar 2, 2019 |

Ugh, smart but socially inept early 20s characters are getting so cliched and overused Why is K'Bar intensely loyal to Picard? BECAUSE SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF HIM GENETICALLY, SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF THE PICARD CLONE FROM NEMESIS would be my guess John Wick of Dogs fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Mar 2, 2019 |

I'm all for blaming things on Voyager, but it's just poo poo everywhere all the time without end. Thanks to the internet and social media everyone lives in their own personal bubble and everyone who isn't in that bubble is a fuckstick piece of sub human nazi trash. Also every single thing that happens in a show, every casting decision, every phrase uttered, is a political statement. And god help you if you aren't perfectly aligned to my politics because that means it's death threat time. The only way a "fandom" can not be utter toxic garbage is if it's so nascent that it's a stretch to even call it a fandom. In conclusion, the Kaylon were right.

Is it "Kay Bar" or "Kuh Bar"? Also here's hoping Dr. Smith is a version of The Doctor from Voyager so we can finally get the Picard/Picardo teamup after all these years.

I think it has to do with STEM supremacy, underappreciation for how hard it can be for someone from an impoverished or broken home to do well or even want to do well at school when immediate problems seem like a greater priority, and only watching the show for weekly space adventures while filling in their own political beliefs about how the utopia came about (e.g. through capitalism, Silicon Valley technocracy, and people finally realizing that productivity and efficiency are king). It also has to do with how boomer Trump supporters latch onto every rare occasion that a celebrity rants about political correctness and how Shatner got angry at the young people that one time.

i like that they are addressing how all their holograms go sentient and am also predicting that the hologram specifically designed not go sentient will go sentient.

I don't engage with Star Trevor people in any way, outside of this thread. And my brother. And one of my friends, who might be the only person around that dislikes TOS, TNG, VOY, Ent, and the movies but loves DS9.

Drone posted:I just want a group to play the Star Trek Adventures RPG with :< I just finished the first “season” of a game with some friends and ran an impromptu game at a charity gaming event last weekend because some folks showed up late and there was no other space for them. I like it a lot and would play more, but the weather getting somewhat nice means my friends are basically impossible to get into a room all at the same time until it starts raining again this fall. I know there’s a few games in Portland, OR going and I’ve seen a Facebook group talking about organizing some games via Skype. Good luck’

Watching Disco on Netflix got me into the mood to revisit TNG and DS9 again. Bunch of years ago I tried watching all of TNG, but got burned out. I'm occasionally skipping an episode now. Reading up on Encounter at Farpoint's production explains so much. It would've made much more sense to start with Riker's perspective, getting to know each crew member that way, but they kept going back and forth on the length of the episode(s) and ended up having to write in the weirdly high octane Q intro. Before you know this crew and ship, they're having to go BEYOND SAFE WARP LIMITS, separate the saucer section, go to da battle bridge. Funny. Poor Troi cries like 5 times in just the first episode and her skirt's so short I was almost too distracted from her sitting down at the trial to notice O'Brien's the only one mysteriously not selected to attend. Tasha's impassioned speech also really does not work when you're still just getting to know these characters and this universe. Watching DS9 again is like lowering into a warm bath. I'm not even bothered by it not being HD, though on TNG that provides the extra amusement of picking out the obvious stuntmen during fight scenes.

They were obviously trying to give Troi sexy uniforms, but none of them did a thing for her. It's not just that she looks more professional in a regular uniform, she looks much more attractive too. It's baffling it took so long before they realized that. (It doesn't help, of course, that so many of Troi's early hairstyles are... less than flattering.)
