There is an audio project called wolf 359, which is different; I don’t even think that is Star Trek related. That is the youtube page that comes up when you search wolf 359. Google carefully!

Actually this looks like another channel entirely. I’ll have to add it to my list. The short I remember watching had a very TOS type plot where some kind of radiation or energy caused the crew to become obsessed with the object in their own way. The tactical officer wanted to shoot it, the science officer wanted to study it, etc. It was hokey but still pretty neat. The effects were low budget 90s TV movie quality but had a charm about them.

Cool. Love the semi-spoilers.

Already preordered my copy.

I hope we see section 31 boimler

I think you could follow it, but also mute it.

To be honest, though, I find the overall experience is better with separate accounts for Mastodon and Lemmy.

Mastodon 4.1.4 allows hiding list contents from home. The feed is disordered, and is sometimes lacking context, but I find it minimally workable.

@Dagwood222 Thanks for responding! I have been a professional writer for years. Here is a link you can read one of them for free! https://medium.com/flicks-tv-hound/star-trek-boldly-going-to-the-future-ef077616c47c?sk=d6fa6fcba9df65fc9a74b91c4a0bd7b3

I’m pretty well-versed in Star Trek lore, but it’s always nice to get another perspective. After reading the article I had a brain storm. Lucile Ball was [amazingly enough] a big wheel at Desilu and pushed for the second pilot. She must have liked the first one because it dared to have a smart woman in a position of power. I’m sure many other people have had that notion, and I think it’s funny that it took me so long to see the obvious.

Hey … you’re posting to lemmy from mastodon … that’s awesome!!

Just a few small tips for making it work better on the lemmy side of things (mostly post formatting).

First … you can look at how your post appears on lemmy here: startrek.website/post/363006

Basic formatting tips:

1. Treat the first line of you post as the title. You can see that your whole post, including hashtags, is on one line, and so creates a large messy title over here.
2. Keep hashtags out of the title as they create links that are messy
3. The next lines are treated as the body of the post … you can put everything else here including hashtags (which will work well) etc.
4. If you want to tag anyone else, make sure to tag them after the lemmy community, as lemmy only pays attention to the first tag (which is a measure to prevent spam)

I wrote a little demo of what works here: hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095

Otherwise … really appreciate the effort to try to bridge these two spaces!

@maegul thanks -- I'll follow that format from now on

@ValueSubtracted correct!

@usernamefactory @startrek I don't know if I agree with that premise. I've run into any number of people who became Trek fans in general by starting with Kelvin.

That said, I don't know that breaking the movies into more timelines is a great idea.

And I personally would be skeptical that anything from the proposed movies would ever turn into a TV series. They are really operating in separate spaces right now. And P+ is shedding series faster than they're adding them.

Now that I’ve thought about it some more, it’s unlikely the movies would be making any decisions based off of what’s best for the streaming shows. That would probably be seen as the tail wagging the dog.

That said, I’ve definitely encountered people who enjoyed the films but skipped the shows on account of not knowing where to start and finding the relationship too confusing. It would make sense to pair a successful “early days” movie with an “early days” spinoff series to lure some of that casual audience to streaming.

I remember liking the caption that any story is improved by the addition of Dracula.

End0fLine , 2 months ago

Could you imagine if that is the long con here? I’d love that.

Transporter_Room_3 , 2 months ago

It’s almost like it was never about being accurate, and it’s based purely in hatred, racism, and contrarianism… almost

I’m sure they’ll be here any minute…

Why release this article now, after like ten months?

Thank you. It was getting stuffy in here.

In Deep Space 9, Jake Sisko (the station commander’s son) is a journalist for the Federation News Service. There’s a good episode where he ends up in a war zone and the story covers cowardice and PTSD.

Considering how LD canonized in universe conspiracy theories like “Worf 359 was an inside job” I would imagine there are some trashy tabloids

The CBC now has an obituary of its own.

This guy was in everything! From Jericho, to bones, CSI, star trek, etc. First thing I saw him in was when my wife made me watch ghost whisperer with her (jokes on her, I’ll watch Jennifer Love Hewitt any day). After that I’d always notice his face pop up in a bunch of shows. Really sad to see him go, ALS sucks
