- Comment on Prodigy Season 2: How do we want to discuss it? 6 days ago:
I’m against a megathread. That would be too busy and I think there will be more than enough to discuss about each episode.
For entirely selfish reasons, I’d like individual discussion threads for each episode that come out one or two a day, since that’s the pace I expect to be watching it (optimistically).
Though, I think the best option for everyone might be five-episode blocks. That would allow both bingewatchers and slower viewers to enjoy the conversation without spamming the feed, and will match up well enough with the “parts” it would have been split into if it aired on Nickelodeon that both broad and individual episode discussions will make sense.
- Comment on See New Images from Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2! 1 week ago:
I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be a mix between Starfleet and Vau N’Akat dress.
- Comment on Describe an episode in the worst possible way 1 month ago:
A collection of poker scenes filmed from different camera angles.

I can’t object to more Jett Reno!
- Comment on Preview ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Episode 504 With New Images And Clip From “Face The Strange” 2 months ago:
I hope these shots aren’t a good representation of the whole episode, because if they are, it’s a 15 minute scene of L’Ak and Moll on a planet followed by 35 minutes of close-up shots of Rayner
- Comment on Alright, where do I begin? 8 months ago:
You can start anywhere you want! I often recommend starting with Star Trek: The Next Generation, since it’s aged a little better than the original series. You might prefer to jump ahead to season 2 or 3 to get to the really good stuff, but even season 1 is worth watching.
Up until Enterprise season 3 it’s pretty much all episodic (or in DS9’s case, mostly episodic with a subset of the episodes forming a series-long story arc), so you can pick a random episode with a cool-sounding description and start there if you want. That’s how I got into Trek, just picking random TNG and Voyager episodes.
- Comment on How hard can it possibly be? 8 months ago:
I suspect a lot of “evil admirals” were promoted by votes from, or just to appease, reactionary political movements.

VOY: “Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy” comes to mind.

James T. Kirk acted as if the Temporal Prime Directive didn’t exist. Kathryn Janeway knew it existed but actively didn’t give a fuck.

Super glad it’s still in production despite all the bullshit with Paramount+. Though I still wonder where it will be published…
