That one actually isn’t a mistake. His last name was spelled “Ryker” when they were developing the show.

Two of them were made after this article came out (he mentions four movies being made. Star Trek IV came out in 1986, TNG premiered in 1987). So Star Trek V 😬 and Star Trek VI 👍 were yet to be made.

I totally understand your desire for a community that allows you to discuss classic trek without worrying that your enjoyment of new series will be lessened if you read spoilers. Reddit has a big enough user base to have separate subreddits for each series. Lemmy’s not there yet.

think there is a way to make any forum spoiler-avoidable, especially where very current episodes are at play. Sensible titles (e.g., including the episode discussed) would go a long way toward helping with this.

Lemmy also ostensibly supports

spoilers withinThis is a spoiler.

(though I haven’t tried them and I don’t know if all clients respect them). Getting people to use those where appropriate might also help.

I look forward to seeing how this and other trek communities develop, and I hope that your experience improves.

What are your guys' thoughts on the new episode? (fedia.io)

I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I...

I’m with you on your analysis. It wasn’t mindblowingly good, but it was certainly good enough to not feel like a band past its prime trying to cash in on one last payday. I do think that Billy West (Fry)‘s voice has aged some as well, but I got used to it after a minute or two and it was fine.

I think when you’re coming back from cancelation…AGAIN, and especially after so long, it’s not like a pilot, but it requires more exposition than a regular season opener. So it was good enough on its own merit, and I’m grading it on a curve as it’s the first episode in a decade and has to do a bit more storytelling drudgery than your average show.

Hydration is important! Other crew members should take note. (Surely the consoles are waterproof.)

Season 3 is your reward for having to sit through Shades of Gray.

Leather is an interesting case, though, because regardless of whether or not people buy it, the cows will still be killed for meat (unless there’s a drastic change in food consumption habits).

You could make the argument that, at least in the current landscape, the purchase of leather doesn’t increase animal suffering or suffering due to the many deleterious effects of large scale beef production (deforestation for feed, the carbon output, etc.).

The only way to reduce the suffering created by a cow economy, you have to hit the main product driving it: beef. There are three times more beef cows than dairy cows in the U.S., so dairy consumption has an effect but it’s dwarfed by beef consumption.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

They’re both gorgeous, although the Siamese looks like it’s got evil intent!
