  “I can’t stop the heterocyclic declination!” (TNG: “Samaritan Snare”)

  “Move Along Home” would work so much better as a Doctor Who episode. Has the same kind of absurdity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Saru and Kelvin Spock would probably get along really well. Everyone else would be having heated arguments that I think would be amazing to witness, if not take part in.

  I think I’d most like to sit between Mariner and Pike, though.

  Actually, I wonder if this show was greenlit in some way because of Prodigy’s cancellation. They’re trying to draw in a younger audience for the sake of the franchise’s long term prospects, but Prodigy didn’t get as many views on Paramount+ as they hoped (and is now on a different service), so they wanted to make a version of that which is better suited to streaming, without the awkward concessions to Nickelodeon’s release schedule.

  Though, I think the problem is really Paramount+. A streaming service that is best known for Star Trek and a bunch of dramas that old people watch is unlikely to get anyone under 30 into Star Trek.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prodigy Season 2: How do we want to discuss it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

  I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be a mix between Starfleet and Vau N’Akat dress.

  A collection of poker scenes filmed from different camera angles.

  I can’t object to more Jett Reno!

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

  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…
