  Finally! Someone with the courage to adapt the NES classic The Goonies II to the big screen. What a time to be alive!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Finished Lower Decks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea, but I hope so haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Finished Lower Decks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Buffertime episode was the one where I became hooked.

  The show consistently delivered until the very end, at least for me.

  My only petty gripe is when I recently rewatched an episode: Riker comments about seeing Archer and the gang in the holodeck and now that I’ve seen ENT…I don’t want to be reminded of the finale. I told you it was petty!

  5 seasons and a movie, make it so!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1 Wraps Filming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  …all estimates to date project that the series will debut on Paramount+ sometime in 2026. In the meantime, the show has already been renewed for a second season of production.

  Glad they believe in it enough to want a second season.

  Now I wait until 2026 to see Parrises squares onscreen at last 🙏

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Give them Andor instead of Ahsoka; they need to make more content that speaks to the universal human condition and less about the cool worlds and characters they’ve got. The people want Squid Game and Severance, not another cinematic universe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨9 Years Later, 'Star Trek: Discovery's Co-Creator Just Revealed a Wild Alternate Cast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “On my last week [working on Discovery], I approved the Starfleet uniforms, which they tossed out, and rejected the Klingons, which they kept.” Notably, both the Discovery uniforms and the Klingons from that era proved to be controversial with fans

  That’s the big what-if for me out of this article: what if disco had klingons that didn’t become radioactive to so much of the audience?

  The whole klingon war felt like it happened in a single episode or two and I wonder how much of that was them concluding they made an ugly-sonic and tossing it.

  Maybe we would have seen more Ash Tyler and less Book, who knows 🤷‍♀️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek TNG Theme but the theme is coming from the Enterprise-D 🤣⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The ending was perfect!

  Thanks for a much appreciated dose of whimsy to start my day 👍

  Ya I’ll have some of that please.

  Federation outsiders serving a gleaming resort planet find out their day-to-day exploits are being broadcast to the entire quadran

  Ok not bad, Acapulco is a funny show about working in a resort so I can sorta imagine it in space. Not as sure about the Punkd angle, but I’m remaining optimistic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interview: Alex Kurtzman on Section 31 and the "evolution" of Star Trek⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Starfleet going around to other worlds to fix and moralize about other peoples’ problems, but never needing to self-reflect or improve on themselves.

  There are a few PTSD episodes that at least try : Picard at the chateau and Archer on shore leave after the Xindi adventure.

  I feel these are the best episodes where a character realizes they have changed and not for the better, but I wish there were more.

  Maybe trek is sleeping on the post-adventure recontextualization power of a shore leave coda?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which movies are much darker when you rewatch them as an adult?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You have 2 main characters to follow and it’s absolutely different based on your age.

  Very similar experience with Cars 3. Children identify with the new up-and-comer race car while grownups identify with a Lightning McQueen who must accept his glory days are past and embrace the next generation.

  Shoutout for the race announcer who drops a microcosm of the whole film in a single line:

  McQueen’s fading! Fading fast!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interview: Alex Kurtzman on Section 31 and the "evolution" of Star Trek⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So ultimately, I feel like what we’re saying is that in order for Starfleet and that beautiful vision that Roddenberry had of this optimistic utopia, in order for that vision to exist, in order for the light to exist, you need people who operate in the shadows. And it’s a yin and yang. You can’t have one without the other.

  I don’t like this sort of mother-goosery in my fully automated luxury gay space communism.

  I prefer the assimilating power of root beer as the true defender of the federation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Annotations for *Star Trek: Section 31* (SPOILERS)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If we’re going to take that last shot literally, Baraam is warp-capable

  Wow. Turns out I walked away after “Your Mama IV” and completely missed this final shot of the space station going to warp.

  Thanks, I hate it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Film Discussion | Star Trek: Section 31⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So the Terran empire runs some kinda hunger games for the next evil emperor… and the current evil emperor is just cool with abdicating I guess?

  I wish I could enjoy it, but it just feels so dumb to watch a fairy tale transfer of power in the most evil setting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Section 31" early review round-up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Long answer, but good answer friend.

  This in particular is gold:

  in this future, humanity still succumbs to the pains and pitfalls of present-day life in a way that suggests we won’t grow out of them

  I thought Section 31 was some shit clinging to the bowl, but the writers keep assimilating it into the Star Trek matrix so much so that it implies the Federation of TNG is a naive facade 😔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video: Meet the Section 31 Crew⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Viva Mintaka III 💪🏴 I love that episode for having primitive superstitious Vulcanoid aliens instead of generic humanoids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Stars of Star Trek: Section 31 Know Why You're Nervous About the Movie⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We live in a world that has walls federation worlds, and those federation worlds have to be guarded.

  Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Barclay?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Official Philippa Georgiou backstory from the Star Trek YouTube channel⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Administer 15 mg of damnatio memoriae to the previous regime, stat!

  I have never seen so much monotone reading of dialogue. Renegade Soval carried every scene he was in, so at least there’s that.

  Thanks for opening my eyes to something new 🍻

  Hey thanks, it’s all new to me. I know what I’m watching this weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s with Sci-Fi and Commemorative Plates?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Q: Look at me when I’m eating off you Picard.

  But to your point, are there any fandoms (besides the church) that are still going strong with commemorative plates? Maybe they are just old fashioned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First time I saw him outside Star Trek was in a Scarlett O’Hara TV miniseries.

  Imagine my surprise when he’s driving her around in a horse and buggy: an olde time transporter chief!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  His imdb page is suprisingly prolific m.imdb.com/name/nm0000538/ 151 roles since 1973 is a pretty damn good run.
