  that's a shame, i always really liked Pine's Kirk in particular. but i guess it was also inevitable as soon as Spock showed up in Disco with a new actor

  the rest of the article is... harrowing, to say the least. Trek feels like the elephant in the room at Paramount right now- you'd think Ellison would think that "un-woke-ifying" Trek would be an easy way to score points with the White House right now, but so far it's been business as usual

  Rick Berman described the producers’ view that providing an organic-feeling final episode to properly wrap things up would be impossible

  honestly i think Terra Firma Part II would have gotten the job done fine, and if they had kept everything as is but called it the finale and left These Are The Voyages as a DVD extra or a TV "movie" people would have been happier. or at least they'd have an easier time detaching their distate for TATV from the rest of Enterprise

  that bit about Trinner saying "ok, kill me!" is funny as hell

  iirc the series finale was originally filmed to be the S4 finale, which is how they get ivanova even though she left the show in S5. the S4 finale we got was a rush job when they found out they were getting a final season and wanted to keep the finale they filmed as the series finale

  i agree with your sentiment though, if it was the series finale i think it would've worked well

  reminds me of the scots wikipedia, which as of 5 years ago was 50% nonsense written by a kid from the US. except now they've found a way to automate it, yay!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i would watch all of the above. with discovery at the very least the first four seasons, because S2 is a backdoor season 0 of strange new worlds and S4 rocks but needs the context of the first 3. it can be very uneven but i don't think it gets bad as often as Picard did and doesn't stay bad for as long as Picard does. Enterprise is similar, a rough-at-times ride that does really pay off in S3

  you're only gonna watch one, though, i'd do strange new worlds. it's essentially a return to the TOS/TNG format and has a stellar cast. and frankly you don't need to watch disco S2 to fully know what's going on, they explain everything- i only watched disco after snw S1 left me hungry for more. SNW is seemingly unique among trek shows in that every season has been less well recieved than the last, partly because the short seasons are increasingly dedicated to gag episodes, but i'd say with the exception of one particular stinker in S3, a weaker SNW episode is still gonna be better than most shows at their best

  but also- you're your own person and may walk away from all of these series feeling someghing different! no harm on trying and if you hate something hey, it only cost you 40 minutes of your life

  i can hear it in Dorn's voice so clearly: "Bubbles is not a traditional name for a targ."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  something that i think gets lost in the sauce in thrse discussions is whether fun is derived from playing or winning. people are comparing Silksong- and to get ahead of it right now i haven't played and am not criticizing either of the Hollow Knights- to old arcade and early console games and their legendary difficulty, but a lot of those games were meant to be complete and fun experiences even if you game over very early on. they also didn't have levels full of bespoke Stuff in them, it was the same few tiles and entities in different configurations., so being stuck on level 1 didn't mean you were missing out on a narrative and worldbuilding. with how the lines have blurred between games and narrative art forms in the last few decades, there are different incentives at play and someone stuck on world 1 of SMB isn't missing out nearly as much as someone stuck on whatever the first stage of Silksong is. it's all ultimately apples and oranges

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite Star Trek books?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i mean you're totally right, the entire premise is a huge stretch. that's part of what makes it so fic-y, which is certainly not for everyone's pallette

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite Star Trek books?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  there's a series of in-universe biographies that ranges from good to great. The Autobiography of Mr. Spock and The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko are my favorites, they're very good looks into those character's minds and also give you a lot of cool background info on the federation inside and outside of starfleet. i definitely recommend those two and the rest of you're hungry for more after

  if you're salty about how Enterprise ended, espwcially for one character in particular, The Good That Men Do is worth checking out. it reads like a fixfic because it essentially is but hey. it leads into a few other books but i haven't had a chance to read them yet
