- Comment on Top 3 episodes (all shows) for a newbie 23 hours ago:
Happy to help! I would love it if you report back, we used to get 100 “How do I get a friend into Trek” posts/day on /r/StarTrek but very few follow ups on if it stuck!
- Comment on Top 3 episodes (all shows) for a newbie 1 day ago:
“Data’s Day” is actually a pretty great one to get someone into TNG, it’s fun, but most importantly, Data is essentially walking around introducing all of the main characters to the audience.
I typically recommend starting with TNG in general (I used to say because it was “modern” 😭) as it naturally leads into DS9 and VOY. That said if your friend doesn’t typically watch older shows but is open to them, then just starting with SNW or ENT is an excellent intro to the rest of Trek.

Big fan of that design but even more of Disco (Season 1 that is)

I thought this was going to be a video essay on Star Trek Phase II but I was pleasantly surprised Smiling

It’s very practical if you’re somewhere without inertial dampeners.

People are saying that Renegdes is actually the only canonical Star Trek

When the show with the Black lady aired a lot of “”“longtime fans”“” and YouTubers decreed that it was “not canon” because of XYZ…

I know DS9 is considered the “dark stories” one, but it’s still bursting with optimism compared with the majority of scifi out there.

Surely The Year of The Holodeck Desktop would arrive eventually?
- Comment on Why aren't all rooms holodecks? 4 weeks ago:
This is a fun thought experiment and I’m kind of surprised Discovery didn’t do something like this with holodeck tech in the “future” since the writers weren’t afraid to do other tech-taken-to-natural-conclusion like tiny phaser transporters (or whatever those were).
Semi-related but I always thought it would be cool to see a Star Trek future where things have advanced so far that it would appear to someone like Picard like he and the Enterprise appeared to the Mintakans.

This was really cool, it’s nice that fans are saving smaller less famous props and things from the show that could have easily been thrown out. Thanks for sharing.
- Comment on Just Finished Lower Decks 5 weeks ago:
I just did earlier this week!!
- Comment on Just Finished Lower Decks 5 weeks ago:
I did too! Watched it on initial release but skipped the finale, then watched a second time with the finale. Like a lot of Trek it is even better the second time, there is a shocking amount of attention to detail for a silly cartoon.
My favorite aspect that LDS really nailed was that it regularly turned a Trek trope on it’s head, and the “twist” in so many episodes turned out to be a positive well-intentioned misunderstanding instead of an ulterior motive.

Not accurate, actually!

I’ve watched this seven times and I can confirm that it gets dumber every time. 10/10.
- Comment on Is This How Reddit Ends? 1 month ago:
The moderator to user ratio on the fediverse is orders of magnitude higher than commercial platforms. Even Lemmy.world (a large, loosely moderated Lemmy instance) has again, orders of magnitude more eyes on it’s content than reddit.
This means that even if a chatbot gets invented that is impossible to distinguish form a human, mods will more readily be able to tell if it is pushing a narrative/shilling products.

Man, is there anything more 90s scifi than this concept?

Villains who’s engineered virus forced the Dominion to the negotiating table… just saying.
“Good and evil isn’t as black and white as TNG portrayed it” is kinda DS9’s whole deal.
