  I feel like this place has gotten super mean-spirited lately. Maybe I'm just dropping in at the wrong times but I feel like 80% of the posts and comments I see are backhanded references or jabs at some part of the community and most of the rest is TOS stuff I don't understand that for all I know is also being nasty to somebody.

  Does it really have to be like this? I'll leave that to you lot to figure out. Maybe a split is in order, or part of the commagazine will just vanish and never make another Trek joke again.

  Also somecritter lemme know if the Disco-Risa/NonDisco-Risa split happens 'cause I kinda still wanna be in one of them. Or maybe both, as long as the fighting quits.

    You need to broaden your perspective like when Riker commanded a Klingon ship.

    Fighting is fun. Embrace your inner Klingon and tell those Disco lover/haters how horribly wrong they are!

    In Voyager there was a two parter episode that involved another Starfleet ship stranded in the Delta Quadrant. They were capturing extra-dimensional beings and using their corpses to power their starship so they could get home faster.

    In Discovery, the ship uses a unique propulsion method that utilizes spores and fungal properties.

    The meme is mocking people who say that travel via mushrooms is stupid while having no issue with the usage of alien ghost corpses to power their ship.

      Just say “Body Thetans,” it’s okay to admit that some Starfleeters are secretly Scientologists.

      So it sounds like Voyager is set in the Warhammer 40k universe then, since the Warp in that lore is a roiling storm of madness and joy of all the thrashing souls of everything sentient that ever lived since the beginning of time.

    I can say that voyager was a lot of fun but I had a hard time with thing after that until lower decks. I tried enterprise, Picard and disco but I didn’t like either. I haven’t tried brave new worlds so I can’t say anything about that one.

    I think it’s worth trying the new shows and seeing if any of them appeal to you. Lower decks is definitely a goofy cartoon but it has a ton of heart and feels like enterprise in a way most other shows don’t. Plus it does fan service well in a fun way.

    source

    • shutz@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      You owe it to yourself to try Strange New Worlds. It’s just really good. It avoids most of the problems that Disco had (though it got better after season 1) and goes back to the episodic feel of past series, but without the ridiculous reset button that some series suffered from.

      Familiarity with TOS will provide you with extra enjoyment, but it’s not a requirement, in my opinion.

      I’m trying Enterprise but I’m not loving it. I don’t really connect with the characters except Porthos.

      But DS9 took a while to get into, so maybe it gets better.

    You should get back into it, though. It's all pretty solid, except maybe some of Picard.

    I did bounce off on DS9, too. That was a rough time for the franchise. Glad people enjoy it retroactively, though.

  Starship running on mushrooms? Yeah, why not
  The mushrooms are some omnipresent thing connecting all space and time together and giving some special super powers somehow? The force stolen you have. Integration of science fantasy into science fiction unasked for was.

      Countercounterpoint:

      The Q know about the mycelial network, likely because they created it for their own purposes. That's how they can seem to transport anywhere in the universe. Quinn essentially admitted as much when he said that their "magic" is simply very advanced technology. A mycelial network permeating subspace would be right up their alley.

    Complete and utter nonsense that is an outright fabrication. This isn’t a thing in Discovery.

    source

    • canis_majoris@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m sorry my guy but Stamets literally has a throwaway line in S1 saying that if the mycelial network is destroyed it will “kill all life in the multiverse”

      It doesn’t just connect space and time it connects different universes. Why do you think Lorca was so interested in Discovery, it was the tech that was able to get him back to his original universe.

      I’m confused how something could connect all of time and space together without being omnipresent. It seems to me that the network is omnipresent by definition, because it exists everywhere.

      Now he has the ability to see time a little differently due to that DNA

      Which is kind of weird given that DNA is carbon, hydrogen, moving and forming bonds based on physics. It’s why folding at home can simulate proteins.

      Do anything DNA does can be simulated on a computer.

      Yes, that’s what I’m referring to. And a least as far as I remember, it does. It’s not obvious and not addressed at all, but instantaneous travel between two points in space (if you don’t take a shorcut through an addtional dimension, e.g. something we could call w if the three space dimension we’re familiar with are x,y,z) is equivalent to time travel. The same is true for FTL travel, which Star Trek solves by warping space time, which also works.

      Perhaps the mycelial network is basically an extra space-time dimension, but at least the way I remember it being explained that wasn’t really the case.

      But that’s anyway a relatively technical points and Star Trek, as much as I love it, was never really about the technical things.
