- Comment on Why doesn't Star Trek use TrekLit for streaming shows? 4 weeks ago:
Honestly it could be something as prohibitive as not having secured film and TV rights from the authors.
I can imagine that doing it after the fact is often quite expensive.
- Comment on new Star Trek Voyager videogame: Across the Unknown 5 weeks ago:
oh gosh judgement rites... the fact they built a full on 2D dogfight simulator in that game was epic.
I got good enough at it that I could shoot down Trelane.
Spoiler alert — it didn't matter, he stranded you on the planet anyway.
- Comment on new Star Trek Voyager videogame: Across the Unknown 5 weeks ago:
Sound a bit like XCOM2 set in the ST universe. I'm game.
- Comment on new Star Trek Voyager videogame: Across the Unknown 5 weeks ago:
If we're seeing the wind down of new Star Trek shows but a resurgence of games, I am totally on board for this
Star Trek Armada reboot please 😁

It's like they didn't consult the daystrom institute at all! Haha
Although tbf I think the port and starboard thrusters are aft facing.
Spot on about the airlock though.

The fuel source with just a bit of bite!

Is anybody else curious about the fact that you can manually engage port or starboard thrusters via a conveniently located joystick in the hallway?

@ijon_the_human@lemmy.world the whole forgotten spaceship idea was worth at least a multi episode arc, but I don't think we'll get much, which is too bad because there's quite a bit to explore. Not even some old log entries to listen to.
Double edged sword that is the episodic show.

This episode is giving me some Firefly vibes.

The Gorn connection was an interesting one... it seemed entirely out of left field, especially since the Gorn were literally put to bed two (one?) episodes ago.

Exactly. The moment the camera focused on the orb I knew that little twerp (RIP Gamble) would do the typical redshirt thing and pick it up.
- Comment on Canadian Trekkies: SNW Season 3 will be airing on CTV Sci-Fi Channel 2 months ago:
@valuesubtracted@startrek.website CTV SciFi is still an add-on channel, which is unfortunate for freeloaders like me (I use an antenna which probably makes me a crusty old fart.)
- Comment on ‘Star Trek’ series beams into Hamilton 4 months ago:
@miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com everything in Hamilton is sketchy if you're not from the Hammer 😝
- Comment on ‘Star Trek’ series beams into Hamilton 4 months ago:
If you live in the GTA, you should definitely check out The Cotton Factory! Cool art and makerspace.
Unfortunately in one of the sketchier parts of Hamilton, but that seems to be par for the course for these types of places.
- Comment on Levi McClain: Klingon Music Theory is Weird 4 months ago:
@ussmojave@startrek.website yeah, I'm watching it now! It's pretty well done.
- Comment on Levi McClain: Klingon Music Theory is Weird 4 months ago:
To be fair, Human music theory is also weird.
A lot of what we teach our kids about music theory is rooted in the firm foundation of "it is this way because it just is, so just remember it."
Like why is the circle of fourths and fifths the way it is? Because it just is. Remember it. When you're learning key signatures why doesn't the key match the signature (D major is F# and C#,. but Bb major has a Bb and an Eb?!)? Because it just is. Remember it.
It's no wonder music theory gets completely lost on kids. It doesn't make any sense!
- Comment on Citing Tariff Uncertainty, Star Trek 1:6-Scale Figure Company EXO-6 Suspends Shipments to USA Collectors 5 months ago:
It's pretty wild how wide-ranging these tariffs affect small scale manufacturers with in and out of the United States.
I've been hearing scattered reports across different industries all saying the same thing:
- They have 60 days or less of inventory remaining.
- They cannot order more because nobody Stateside will pay for those items at prices increased to offset the tariffs.
For companies with razor thin margins, even 1% changes the calculus. A 145% tariff is already well over the point of no return.

@malikmuaddibsoong@startrek.website it's been a long road, gettin' from there to here
- Comment on Season 3 Teaser Trailer | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 5 months ago:
@fordbeeblebrox@lemmy.world that's because Discovery is just bad fan fiction.
It makes Enterprise worth watching.
