Yeah great suggestion, Wrath of Khan is an excellent entry point.

The enterprise being an underdog the entire time is a great showcase for the best of trek: the crew and the problem solving 👌

Wow, Devils Due is like the second episode I watched (first was Silicon Avatar) and I remember enjoying the ending where Picard mimics all her tricks before telling her to fuck off.

In hindsight easily a notgreat episode, but I remember it fondly.

That was an interesting read.

I wish someone would’ve asked her about Remember Me, one of my favorite episodes and one of the few Dr Crusher episodes.

a season that veered largely in quality from one episode to the next, including a particularly notable nosedive in its back half

I greatly enjoyed this season (no really, the good ones are so good), but I must agree here about the nose dive.

That documentary episode is probably my least favorite Star Trek episode of all time.

And that finale? Too much unwelcome Mass Effect 3 energy in this ending for me to enjoy.

Ley lines. Hey, they’re real!

Absolutely my least favorite treknobabble of all time.

When we fix the irregular verb sing we will create a new heteronym between singed-as-past-of-sing and singed-as-past-of-singe 🫠

@SatyrSack@feddit.org thanks fam, I finally made something with the tutorial you wrote 🤙

I hit him with 5 thermites and 5 of the electro throwables. Good night sweet miniboss

 

I hope this works, the file didn't upload the first time I tried. These are the cool weapons I've used up to chapter 4: wintry rapier, azure dragon crescent glaive, booster glaive, and etiquette.

This game is great 🤌

I just started Lies of P so I nominate the Mad Clown Puppet on that burning street before the opera house.

How does three sets of DNA in her - Gorn, Human and Illyrian - translate to having all the abilities of all races that have faced evil?

That bit right there is like a glob of glue along the seam where this Beholder plot was glued to the gorn cliffhanger.

Is any of this Beholder stuff foreshadowed before Batel fights Gamble the first time? I try to be a careful watcher, but it came outta left field for me.

Wish they would have leaned harder into reimagining Inner Light and less into boring chosen-one-stuff.

Oh I’m in good company, this is my kinda rant 🤙

Cognitive dissonance on the more accurate name of “Ignored e”

Record a record? Convict a convict? What an annoying concept.

At least irregular verbs are drifting away, that’s a pleasant surprise.

Somebody show this clown TNG The Most Toys, the one where the emotionless android feels a surge of hate and blasts the space billionaire that enslaved him.

RIKER: Mister O'Brien says the weapon was in a state of discharge.

DATA: Perhaps something occurred during transport, Commander.

And then he gets away with it because Riker hates billionaires too 😎👌

cut and tr are like the wonder twins of text munging

Form of truncated whitespace! Shape of single whitespace! 😂

 
 

B5 gang, you're my only hope.

 

why's it so hard 😭

 

I swear I remember they cut directly to Obrien and Data with incredulous "did he just say saucer sep" looks on their faces.

 
 

One of my absolute favorites and I'm hoping folks want to talk about it.

Hands down my most reread book. Me, an atheist, never imagined a twisty/puzzly novel about the life and times of future space jesus would speak to me so deeply.

The prose is multidimensional and layered with meanings that only come into focus once you know where it's going.

Some of my favorite examples:

  • The title of chapter 1
  • Severian first finding his dog.
  • Thecla's story of a fortune teller predicting she would sit on a throne.
  • The ending of book 1
  • The ending of book 2

Any other trek fans delighted by Group of Seventeen in book four, realizing it was 10 years ahead of the TNG episode "Darmok"?

 

My personal journey of crawl > walk > run > slap

 

Yall got any of that hitbox porn?

 

still not worth watching subrosa

 

I really like the beginning, but it’s all downhill from there
