- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 2 weeks ago:
Great points all around. “Hope and Kindness” may seem like obvious cliche lessons, but one could argue that in today’s political climate they are as important as TOS calling out societal racism.
- I'm not complaining, but the trailers definitely oversold the level of drama in this show.startrek.website ↗Submitted 2 weeks ago to risa@startrek.website | 1 comment
- Comment on Is there a list of important/key episodes – but not just the good episodes? 5 weeks ago:
“Datalore” is another one that’s important, but it’s not very good.

And again in “The Menagerie”!

It says right in the meme “a lot of my masking is just making myself more palatable for other people”

I haven’t loved the post-Burn setting but the way this show is already contextualizing it, and the optimism it’s doing it with is already starting to change my mind.
Same. A lot of that stuff just feels more comfortable with time and I appreciate how Star Trek always pushes it a little bit. People FREAKED OUT with the Klingon changes in TMP/TNG. Then FREAKED OUT that DS9 was on a space station with a “politically correct” captain. Now we think of those things as normal, nostalgic even.

I liked it too, but I find rebuilding to be aspirational. Like maybe the most aspirational thing possible.

- Comment on If SNW people go through with a TOS continuation, where will they start? 4 months ago:
Just seeing this post, I didn’t know this was a thing that could happen, but I wouldn’t mind seeing some Pre-S1 TOS. I don’t think Season 1 was ever canonically the first year of the five year mission.

Wait what lol like Burhnam. I was arguing with the guy who was making shit up about her!

Was it the neighborhoods?

Do you have any evidence to support your claim? I looked it up and I didn’t see anything about “redemption” necessitating the fawning over of the redemptee by others, so until someone claims otherwise I’m going to believe Mr. Webster.

I’m so confused by this comment, season three is literally (literally) about “a Federation that keeps adapting, improving, and ultimately continuing as a positive force moving forward through the dedicated collaboration of an infinitely-diverse collaboration of peoples” even in the face of *overwhelming odds to the contrary. *
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 4 months ago:
Well said, Enterprise is my least favorite… until Season 4 which I consider to be some of my favorite Star Trek.
But same goes for Discovery! I appreciated what they were trying to do but it didn’t click with me. And then seasons 4 and 5 I consider to be some of Trek’s best.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 4 months ago:
Thank you for the sanity. I get so tired hearing Burhnam being held to such an obvious double standard. I wonder why? What is different about the character?
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 4 months ago:
OMG you’re so right.
Honestly I’m so used to hearing the same tired old arguments I didn’t even process that.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 4 months ago:
You’re suggesting that redemption from disgrace is the same as “everyone else fawning over how great she is and what they’d do without her”?
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 4 months ago:
It just feels awfully weird to me that your list of criteria that makes a show “hateable” only applies to this particular show. And when another show checks off the items, the list suddenly stops being “hateable items” and instead becomes a list of minor nitpicks.
I just can’t figure out what the difference is, what could it be about Discovery in particular that would cause you to hold this list of criteria with such gravitas, but when the listed items appear on a different show, you don’t seem to mind? What could the difference be?
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 4 months ago:
Why is it when those things you listed show up on other Star Trek series you consider them to be “flaws” on an “overall quality” show, but on Discovery they become “reasons to hate”? Why the double standard?
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 4 months ago:
You didn’t say Discovery villains didn’t “have nuance and development”. So no, I didn’t say that either.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 4 months ago:
I agree that Gul Dukat is a delusional maniac! The guy I replied to said that only Discovery had such characters. But that said I will gladly accept your Armus!

I’m sorry, but if you truly watched the entire season, you’d know that your description of the events is incongruous with the events as presented on screen.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 5 months ago:
everyone else fawning over how great she is
Did we watch the same show? She is literally demoted and sent to prison in the first episode.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 5 months ago:
If I can present examples to you of those things happening in other Star Trek series would it change your mind about those other series?
Or does this list of criteria selectively apply specifically to Discovery?
