  I’m your host Will “T-Bone” Riker and welcome to Deltas, Directives, and Docks. Today we’re checking out the Sisko restaurant, they’ve got gumbo so good it makes founders grow frosted tips. The only war in this Dominion is the one I’m going to wage on these succulent crawfish.

  Strange New Worlds definitely still has the “optimistic” viewpoint of old trek. I think that’s why it has been doing so well. I think the problem in other modern Trek shows like the first 2 seasons of Picard or all of Discovery was that there wasn’t enough of the hopeful optimism that made Trekkies fall in love with the franchise. There doesn’t need to be a universe ending plot calamity, exploration and interesting sci-fi plots that actually drive character development are enough.

  Even “grittier” old trek like DS9 (my favourite trek show) had optimistic undertones of recognizing similarities between cultures, forging alliances, trying to be ethical in the face of war, and addressing social issues.

  Even the underlying theme of Voyager was to maintain the ideals of the federation against all odds in the face if hopelessness.

  I just hope studios see the success of Strange New Worlds and make more trek like it.

  There’s clearly coffee in that light beam.

  Looks like you saw right through the marketing. Seems like that product failed to materialize. Seems like those claims were intangible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I strange for not loving Everything Everywhere All At Once?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on your tastes. I personally really liked it because it represented philosophical absurdism and various existential concepts in an interesting/comedic way. I laughed really hard at things like the “everything” donut and Michelle Yeoh’s big fight scene where she used “compassion” to solve all the henchpeople’s life problems and “defeat” them.

  Despite it’s fun/weird/comedic exterior it was very clearly written with these philosophical concepts in mind. If you like thinky/philosophical stuff you probably like this movie too, that said if you don’t like that kind of vibe you probably just viewed the randomness/oddness of some of the scenes as strange.

  The collective has decided not to assimilate you on account of perceived “bad smell” which is perhaps too distinct to add to our own and "weird-voyager-salamander-cringe-energy ".

  This drone did not “downvote” you. Another of the collective did so. Through readings from its ocular implant this drone was able to determine this area of Lemmy space is non-serious. Recommended adaptations are to “lighten up” and “enjoy the jokes”.

  I am loquatious of borg, your pendantry will be assimilated to service my own, your “umm ackshullys” are futile.

  I mean, they have a transporter right? Couldn’t they just beam waste into a holding container or out into space? In discovery they say they recycle everything so maybe it just gets beamed to Kieko’s Arboretum lol.
