Yeah but the season 3 finale took it to a new extreme
- Comment on On the end of Discovery 1 year ago:
the cruel irony is that the only reason that Kelpiens are even spacefaring is because Discovery intervened the previous season, in that regard Discovery caused the burn
- Comment on On the end of Discovery 1 year ago:
Discovery also seems to employ the dimensional technology that the pod from the future employed on Enterprise, being much bigger on the inside

I assume it was because you were tracking down instances of Klingons hugging?
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x10 TBA 1 year ago:
I liked the “He looks like Tom Paris” back and forth, I’m glad they didn’t do something hokey like he’s Tom Paris’ cousin or something. I liked the flashback showing Mariner as the tag along first year, worked better than just telling us in the previous episode, that flashback probably should have been attached to episode 9.
I kept expecting William Boimler to show up before the end of the season, guess they’re holding onto that thread for next year

AGIMUS’s drones were reminiscent of the drones from Arsenal of Freedom
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Finds New Home At Netflix After Paramount+ Cancellation 1 year ago:
I was hoping for Prime, but their kids offering is pretty anemic compared to Netflix. With the cost of Netflix it only gets a few months a year in our household too
- Comment on Master Replicas Drop Includes Picard Inquiry-Class Variants and Lots of Star Trek Reference Books 1 year ago:
These drops have been so good. I’ve managed to get all the hero ships in regular size, even the Cerritos which I thought I’d missed my chance on. I missed regular DS9, but I am tempted by the XL in this drop…
- Comment on Mike McMahan Calls On Fans To Help Keep ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ From Facing The Same Fate As ‘Prodigy’ 1 year ago:
This is one tangible draw back to being on the fediverse instead of mainstream media - no one at companies is going to be watching or considering engagement here. So if it sort of locks us out of fan noise. I guess keep streaming it

buy the discs to show Paramount you’re interested?

Was expecting the juice media
- Comment on Treklit/Novelverse: how to get up to speed on the lore? 1 year ago:
I enjoyed Coda, but if there was a time to take a hatchet to characters and storylines, that was the time. I understand why they did what they did.
- Comment on Treklit/Novelverse: how to get up to speed on the lore? 1 year ago:
that diagram is amazing, needs to be updated for Coda tho - which would put lines everywhere…
- Comment on New Era of Star Trek - promotional trailer for new shows on Paramount+ 1 year ago:
The video is from Paramount Plus, who don’t currently have the rights to Prodigy, even though the parent company does. If they included it in their promotional material it would effect their ability to either sell those rights to someone else or write the show off for tax purposes.
It’s convoluted and stupid, but running your streaming service as a separate entity is how all the studios have it rigged up. Accounting ftw
- Comment on Prodigy not entirely gone from Paramount Plus? 1 year ago:
Prodigy has been removed from Paramount Plus.
Technically yes they do own Star Trek, but the way the accounting works is they sell the broadcast/streaming rights back to themselves. It’s a bit convoluted, but taking the rights away from their own service means CBS as a studio can either resell it to another broadcaster/streamer or failing that write it off for tax purposes.
It sucks, but all the studios rig it up this way

I was similar, almost monthly releases over the years kept me engaged.
I would add to those recommendations the Cold Equations Trilogy and if someone enjoys that, Mortal Coil (as a prequel to cold Equations) and The Light Fantastic as a sequel.

When millions of dollars are at stake in the streaming wars, and I see dozens of near-zero-cost posts about how “this is exactly the Trek all us old Trek fans have been waiting for dudbebrodudes!!
Yes corporate shills are coming to lemmy of all places to astroturf, I bet they’re all over usenet and dialup BBS as well
