Welcome, everyone! The way I described what I personally hope for this community is a place to have fun discussions about Star Trek that aren’t stuffy like DaystromInstitute on Reddit but also not pure silliness like Ten Forward (although I’m probably going to be the first one to end up being silly anyway, I can’t help myself). But there is definitely a place on Lemmy for people to talk Trek in a friendly way about subjects us fans care about.
My one personal rule is this- Star Trek canon doesn’t really exist and we shouldn’t pretend it does. It changes all the time. Even within a series.
That’s not a rule I’m going to enforce as a mod or anything, it’s just something I will not hesitate to point out when I see it.
And you don’t have to take my word for it. Ex Astris Scientia has a massive inconsistencies list. They make a valiant attempt to explain away as many as they can, but they admit failure all the time too.
I wouldn’t have said anything if there was a rule about it, there wasn’t. The tenforward community was formed because of this behavior in another mod. I was not given a chance to edit my post it was just quietly removed because Stamets didn’t like it.
Chronicled in the Star Trek oral history, The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, Stewart confessed that concluding Picard’s story took him by surprise. “I will say that at the end of the film, I’m saying goodbye to Riker and I found myself completely caught up in the moment. I broke down. Out of the clear blue sky, my emotions overwhelmed me. I collapsed in Jonathan’s arms and felt such a fool,” Stewart recalled (via Screen Rant). “The entire crew watched me cry and then started muttering, ‘What’s going on? Has he been drinking or something?’ But in that moment, absolutely everything coalesced—the feelings that I had for these people over the years. Saying goodbye was absolutely terrifying and agonizing for me.”
Data’s the science officer. He could probably build a phaser from scrap blindfolded. Him saying maybe “something” happened during transport is clearly a deflection. I bet he thought about this moment when he discovered Lore and all Lore had done.
The image of invisible aliens needling the crew with mysterious experiments is very creepy.
OMG yes! Sometimes I think about that when I have a bad headache for days… The ep concept is truly gross and creepy! It’s a pretty good episode, though.
The strength was the concept of invisible aliens secretly experimenting on the crew. However there wasn’t any real meat to the payoff. It was an idea that didn’t have a story to live up to it. This episode felt like it was one good twist away from being really great.
I’d rate it as mediocre with a really good concept.
It actually would have been funny if it was the same species that terrorized the Enterprise. Riker and Co. barely escaped, but Janeway turned the tables and set their economy back a decade.
Can’t say I can think of one. Would be a nice opportunity to throw in a dedication at this point. Have to be late in the season, as I imagine much of the production is completed by now.
Good point. I’d have to scan through the episodes myself to confirm, because I dont recall Beverly or anyone else mentioning her by anything other than Nurse Ogawa.
I’m honestly not happy about that. There shouldn’t be a crossover between a Star Trek parody and actual Star Trek, even if it’s a really good parody. I’d feel the same if The Incredibles and The Fantastic Four had a crossover.
Lower Decks and SNW had a crossover and it was great. (I think they’re doing another?) It’s certainly better than dropping in Pro Wrestlers as monsters of the week.
Yes, but LD and SNW are both Star Trek. Everything in LD is canon.
Galaxy Quest is not Star Trek. It doesn’t involve any Star Trek aliens or ships. It’s just a really fun parody.
And while we’re on this subject, I also wouldn’t like a crossover with The Orville. It’s originally a parody and later a tribute to TNG. Let it stay that way.
I’m just not a fan of big shared multiverse things like this. I think it cheapens both originals.
I’m not bothered. No chance I’ll actually play these games. Just as long as these sorts of crossovers stay in games and don’t cross to other media then it’s fine.
I’d feel the same if The Incredibles and The Fantastic Four had a crossover.
Although I will point out that The Fantastic Four is looking like it’s set in an alternate 1960s and will clearly involve superheroes AND Michael Giacchino is doing the music for it, so that’s probably as close as you’re going to get…
Seriously? That’s actually something I have wanted for an FF movie. One set in the 1960s when the comic debuted.
I would like it even more if it took a tongue-in-cheek 60s Batman tone, but just set in the 60s works. That’s not a change, that’s just going back to the beginning.
