Why the fuck does this dude care so much about one social media platform being available here? Is he perving on dancing teenagers?

You’ll have to pay me to tell you what it meant. They didn’t ask for anything specific. Just asked if I knew anything.

If you are still on Reddit, that is pathetic. The API pricing was the reason to leave.

Well the most anyone can assume is that characters original to SNW will be removed in some fashion by the time the series ends.

- Comment on Kate Mulgrew: Janeway's Star Trek Return is "Being Pursued" | TrekCulture 4 weeks ago:
I met Seán at STLV last year (I known I encountered Ellie but wasn’t aware till after the con) and was nice. There were people who asked for photos with him, which he seemed gracious to take. Me personally, I didn’t want to ask him because it looked like he was there with his partner.
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew: Janeway's Star Trek Return is "Being Pursued" | TrekCulture 4 weeks ago:
It isn’t exclusively a series centered on Janeway. This series would be presumably similar to Picard in that notion.
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew: Janeway's Star Trek Return is "Being Pursued" | TrekCulture 4 weeks ago:
I think these type of discussions came about shortly after season 1 of Picard.

This came straight from someone on Star Trek: The Cruise.

- Comment on "Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience? 1 month ago:
I think PRO is a step in the right direction.
- Comment on "Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience? 1 month ago:
He would be a better judge of that observation. However I was at STLV last year and there was a sizable number of younger fans (especially those who are teenage). Maybe not a lot.
- Comment on "Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience? 1 month ago:
What is the age range they are classifying as young? Are they talking like teenagers or mid-20s to 30s? The thing with Star Trek that I think attributes to the non-fans not watching would be the stylization. Going back to the comparison of MCU, HP, and Star Wars: they all have something unique (be it the directing, photography, acting, writing, music, special effects, etc.) that if you pay attention for a significant period will find. Star Trek is no different. When you watch a MCU movie or TV show you probably see the sleek costumes and fast paced fight choreography. With HP, it was probably all the special effects, makeup and set design. For Star Wars it might be the writing, special effects and music.
I’m being non-specific here of course. Star Trek like I said is no different. There are visual and non-visual language being utilized that we find enjoyment in. For anyone not currently into these properties, it could be difficult to enjoy. Especially if you haven’t been someone who watched these properties from a young age or from the early years. For example, if you had someone exposed to only the Kelvin Timeline try to watch TOS or TNG with no context for how it relates, a disconnect might form. Visually those series are not as sleek or modernized as those movies.
As for the comparison to video games… that is simply a different medium. What appeals to one person to the next will be hard to gage. That doesn’t preclude the likes of Fortnite players from enjoying Trek, but culturally that kind of entertainment is very different from what a kid who grow up with TNG was exposed to.

He did get around. He would totally get with anyone that said yes. But at the same time he wouldn’t try to get between a widow and his captain.
