I actually was already planning on starting watching lol this sub def contributed to that. Remembered I never finished the Orville so started there, now gotta figure out where to start on Trek.

You’ll turn into us… slowly but surely. Sooner than later you’ll think something looks really cool and then look it up on YouTube. You’ll look up a few more clips then go “Eh, why not give this show a try.” From there it’s a slippery slope into bliss, my friend.
Welcome to the subspace fold.

Thanks to this sub I became a trekkie as well, would say that while I couldn’t get into TOS, these three rocked, Discovery, Strange new Worlds, and lower decks.

Idek what TOS is lol the original series? My dad is an OG trekkie and had us watch some of that as kids but he didn’t try very hard to get us into it and hasn’t been following much of the new stuff either.

I frequently re-watch that final episode of Season 2. The visuals are fucking INCREDIBLE.

No, this didn’t happen in the show did it?
I would have remembered Discovery being larger than the Constitution class.
Stamets@startrek.website 1 year ago
It did happen in the show and the Discovery Is bigger than the Connie. By an enormous amount. Those shots don’t demonstrate it properly.
The Constitution sits at a comfortable 300m.
The Crossfield class sits at 900m.
However you also gotta think about the general design. The nacelles are specialized so they’re way longer and more narrow. The neck is also basically gone with the saucer section sitting in front of the secondary hull. Whole ship ends up being way longer than most Starfleet ships.

It looks like the spaceship equivalent of otters holding hands so they don’t float away from each other.
Stamets@startrek.website 1 year ago
Not far off really. They were lining up to deploy evacuation corridors between the two ships to link them and transfer shit faster. Space otters!

I recommend Season 3, episode 22 of the original series. If they can get through that one, they’ll have no issues, lol
