@[email protected] I’d love to see Andorians and Tellarites struggle to pronounce place names like Ashwaubenon and Oconomowoc.
Reminded me a lot of Discovery. What a cool episode for Zero - their character design is quite fitting I think and looks good. Wonder if we’ll ever see that in live action. @[email protected]
Checking off two sci-fi bingo boxes with the classic “airplane race with an alien you just met” and “computer gone rogue” in the same half hour! Quite clever and brave of Zero to take the pointy AI out like that.
By the way, did Gwyn refer to Zero as a he in the log? If true, it wouldn’t be the first time a character’s pronouns have changed after you met them. Just like real life - I like that.
P.S. Is this the first time in Star Trek we hear a log in voiceover that also includes someone else’s voice?
@[email protected] DeviantArt - I like separation between art, literature, and regular status updates, and the ability to group posts in your inbox into folders by who posted them. Or, more realistically, any of the various furry sites that work on a similar model and have less potential for cultural conflict.
@[email protected] I think part of it is the “branding” of Mastodon - if everyone someone follows uses a Mastodon server, they might just think of “Mastodon” as the social network they want to join, and never really consider that other people on the network might be using something like Firefish or Pixelfed or microblog.pub. After all, most Mastodon servers’ web UIs look pretty much the same and the default Mastodon name and graphics are often pretty prominent.
I don’t think this is usually an issue, but there are some Mastodon instances out there whose names are `mastodon.[something] and I think that can mislead people into thinking that’s the one they “should” join just because it seems “official”.
@[email protected] @[email protected] neat, I never realized that micro.blog could federate itself in addition to crossposting to mastodon.
@[email protected] I’ve got a few ways to find fics with all-OC casts, which usually fit the bill (Trek BBS forum; fanfiction.net’s StarTrek: Other section; looking at AO3’s Star Trek tag and then excluding each individual show). Problem is, I’m usually more interested in hearing people talk about their stories / ideas / etc than actually reading them, and I don’t know where that sort of thing happens, if at all.
@[email protected] Although I wish some of Pike’s dialogue had been fleshed out a bit to make him feel like less of a generic foil for M’Benga (especially in their scene near the end), I do really like that they had the lead character of the show be the one who doesn’t get it, and in a way that’s in keeping with his characterization (it ties in particularly well with last season’s alternate-timeline Romulan episode, I think).
I know everyone here probably knows how to pirate things from overseas, but having the show available on a streaming service like Netflix or SkyShowtime is going to put it in front of more people who might like it and make it easier for them to recommend to their friends. I’d say the same thing no matter how long the wait was, to be honest. It took a good while for Summer Camp Island S6 to show up here in the U.S. but now it gets regular reruns on cable, which is what lets kids and teens find it. Better that the show’s reach isn’t restricted to people who already know what they’re looking for.
CTV used to be the best at exposure by putting Star Trek on both streaming and linear - not sure why they’re dropping the ball on this one.
