The opening theme was just weird! But I said the same thing about DS9 and Enterprise.
Now I love the DS9 theme. So maybe Academy’s will grow on me, too.

I had a funny feeling they were going to play this song, and I smiled when this cover started playing. I didn’t realize it was Rufus Wainwright! Good stuff.

uhhh ok? Any particular reason…?

Exactly, they got Paul Giamatti for Spock’s sake. When an actor is at their level they can be choosy about the roles they take on.

Top tier!

I’m fairly OK with NuTrek trusting the audience less and driving a point home harder
I’m generally against this, but it’s not like Star Trek ever gave us a reasonable expectation of subtlety… Image

- Comment on 'Friendslop' dominated 2025 by proving time and time again that graphics are overrated 2 weeks ago:
Ah yeah that’s a good point. I think “gamers” used to be a more distinct group with a more distinct identity, nowadays it’s like saying “moviegoer”.

Ed frequently comes off like a guy ranting outside the gas station but goddamn is it hard to find an issue with with his conclusions.

This is also the first I’ve ever heard the term in any context so I’m hesitant to believe the author when they say “it looks like it’s sticking”…

After Silksong, Lethal Company and Content Warning were my two most played games in 2025.
I agree that calling these low-poly multiplayer games “slop” is terrible, because there is clearly a ton of love and effort poured into them. I hope the name doesn’t catch on.

This is it exactly.
“But how can we know if it’s a bot?”
We probably can’t based on a single comment or post, which is why rules need to be constructed around maintaining a level of effort and quality.

Well, it’s not no.
- Comment on Is it confirmed that The Doctor we'll be seeing in Academy is NOT the one from "Living Witness"? 1 month ago:
On one hand I desperately want to know what happened to the Living Witness Doctor, but on the other, the mystery makes the ending of that episode so much better.

It may feel that way, but there is a lot of evidence pointing to that not being true.
- Comment on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Exclusive Clip | Paramount+ (CCXP 2025) 1 month ago:
lol nah, instead of the show they’ll go watch YouTubers who will tell them to ignore they’re lying eyes and continue to reiterate that the show is actually a teen drama.
Remember how the main overarching plot of Discovery was all about gender dysmorphia? And how that’s all anyone on the show ever talked about? No? Well, according to Youtube it was.

The Doctor still doesn’t have a name??
I think I will need to be sold a bit on Holly Hunter, but otherwise this looks pretty great and much better than I expected when announced.

My first thought when GPT first released was “oh this is how search engines will be able to serve ads without disclosing that they are serving ads”

Not saying you’re wrong (pretty sure you’re not) but important to remember that the reason LLMs use a lot of em dashes is because it features so prominently in journalism.

Importantly, the WhoSampled you know and love is here to stay as a standalone platform and brand. It will continue to operate much as it always has

That Matthew Hodgson quote is good.
“Unhappy users tend to be disproportionately loud given the issues at stake, and there’s a huge risk of optimizing to appease those who shout loudest in the short-term rather than find medium-term solutions which solve for everyone.”
