- Comment on Kirk sticking around? 1 year ago:
Seems to be like a Starfleet mentoring program we just haven’t seen in action before. It makes sense to me that they’d want their rising stars to get some exposure to other established captains and develop relationships with other crews beyond their own. I like it.
- Comment on WOW - Prodigy Second Season Sneak Peek! 1 year ago:
I see they’ve not done anything to rectify the horror show that is Rok-Tahk’s mouth.
- Comment on Star Trek presence on Canvas growing! 1 year ago:
Yeah, except for that damned pus-filled boil that is the Osu logo. It’s a pox that never goes away. I despise every person involved with putting it there.

You’re a cool dude, OP. I withdraw my griping. :)

Curiosity Show is a goddamned treasure. I will never get tired of these clips.
- Comment on Star Trek Confirms an Underrated TNG Crew Member Is Destined for Command 1 year ago:
I really would love for this community to implement tags of some kind. I couldn’t care less about what characters are doing in comics, and am getting a little tired of clickbaity headlines like this exploiting the ambiguity.

I’ve always loved that about him.
- Comment on The CW Is Adding Jesus and Sports. But Its Top Programmer Says It’s Still the Same Network 1 year ago:
It has always been thus. Hucksters and frauds have been selling his finger bones since the third century.
- Comment on Reedit taking down any post slightly critical of Islam. 1 year ago:
Certainly not the majority, but mainstream doesn’t require a majority.
- Comment on Any appetite to create a delta on Canvas, Lemmy’s analogue to the old place’s place? 1 year ago:
It doesn’t work on mobile, does it? I tried to place a pixel using my phone and got nothing.
- Comment on How ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Brought Its Delightful Musical Episode to Life: ‘You’re Like, Wait, Spock Is Singing Now?!’ 1 year ago:
Not necessarily. They’ve already seriously retconned Pike having foreknowledge of his fate, and used that burden to expand his character immensely. They did a similar thing to Chapel by having Boimler accidentally spoil the fact that she and Spock don’t end up together, and that has been further built upon to allow her to grow as a character. There are enough big gaps in canon to play around a lot.
I think of it like a historical drama. For, say, a show set in the thirties, you know the next decade is going to be all kinda of hell for every single character, but they don’t know it, and the dramatic tension of that is something that can be used to write stories that you can’t do otherwise.
- Comment on Reedit taking down any post slightly critical of Islam. 1 year ago:
The problem is where the mainstream lies. In Islam, the mainstream is fundamentalism. Of course, fundamentalism is a problem for Christianity and every other religion too, but right now that is not the mainstream of those sects. And that is why Islam gets criticized more heavily than other religions.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 to Feature as Much as 512 GB of Internal Storage, 8-Inch LCD Screen - Rumor 1 year ago:
Yeah I can’t play for any length of time without using the pro controller. My hands cramp and my finger hurt from the tiny buttons.

Shades of Guinan and the Nexus there.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
Yep, there they are. It’s less noticable because everyone wears pants/leggings under them, unlike in TOS/TNG, where a skirt meant bare legs. Maybe Pike keeps the ship’s environmental settings a little colder than the others.
- Comment on Strange New Worlds 2x08 was one of the best Star Trek episodes ever 1 year ago:
Credit is definitely owed to Discovery for giving us this iteration of Pike, Una, and Spock. Flawed and uneven as that show is, they did hit this one out of the park.
- Comment on I wish the Klingon K-Pop song was longer 1 year ago:
It’s brevity was what made it hilarious. I think a single second longer and it would have outstayed its welcome.
But I have to believe that there was material left on the cutting room floor for this episode, and I hope we get to see it some day.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
On the contrary, she made a breakthrough in actually opening up to Kirk, and he didn’t reject her for it. If anything, him being unavailable for other reasons may be a relief to La’an, releasing her to focus on other things now that she knows that door is closed to her (at least for now).
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
I’m a huge sucker for altered opening credits. Enterprise still wins for the best one of these with its mirror universe episode.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
The Klingon bit was the best part. Imagining them being forced to sing like that while having no context for that style of music is hilarious.

All-singing all-dancing Starfleet captains is a time-honored tradition, after all.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
Was it just me, or did Pelia have a winking look when she suggested that, as if she knew exactly what would happen? Or maybe that’s just Pelia all the time…
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
If I could make one tweak I would have made the music itself feel less 2020s contemporary and given it more of a funky 1960s flavor, because I could absolutely see TOS doing something like this.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
Serious props to whoever dropped that reference in. That’s a lovely homage to the OG musical episode.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
I love a good comedy relief Klingon moment. They nailed that. It was just goofy and unexpected enough and they knew just when to cut it off before it overstayed its welcome.

I missed the skants? How could I have missed the skants?
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody" 1 year ago:
Uhura had the best song and the best performance. Celia Rose Gooding is a goddamned treasure, and it’s a treat to see them finally really putting that character to good use on a consistent basis.

General Gorkog was Bruce Horak? That’s awesome.
Also more fuel for my running theory that Hemmer isn’t truly dead. I think they’re holding onto him for a surprise return in the coming confrontation with the Gorn.
