The replicators work very well, thank you.

Please make a review 😅

A much hyped fanfilm from the post Enterprise/pre-Disco days where fan films were all we had to keep us going. “Renegades” had a good amount of hype around it because it had a real budget and the cast they managed to get. Unfortunately money can’t buy taste and the actual script is pretty bad.

Oh COME ON now I have to buy these too??

I hope we get a de-aged Shatner appearance (I don’t actually hope that… I think)

It really feels like they watched Star Trek Renegades and were like “YES”.

I echo what you said elsewhere, if I get a goofy action movie (or better) then I won’t be disappointed and it will be nice to see the Discovery-era one last time.

Nothing to add except I love this discussion prompt

YES haha he really got some space smarts by then

Scott Bakula is a good actor but he sold the adventurous naivete of S1-2 Archer much better than the moody and distraught Archer in S3. Thankfully season 4 went back to the original spirit.

Surprised nobody’s mentioned this: https://reek.github.io/anti-adblock-killer/

I loved him in Layer Cake where he plays the opposite of Miles O’Brien.

The horniess of the early 2000s makes Gene’s vision of the Original Series seem downright conservative.

The only episode I ever actually skip. Although the “A” plot isn’t terrible!

Meanwhile I’m over here still hoping for a Captain Proton spinoff to be announced…

I love the one where the bodies get dumped in the wormhole lol. Your essay also made me think of VOY’s “Mortal Coil” where Neelix has a “spiritual” crisis but as you said the crisis can be viewed as coming from the collective definition of what death means socially.

A Trek-inspired thought provoking essay is my favorite kind of post! Thanks for sharing.

I don’t get why people are so interested in the fediverse.

Because Mastodon is Twitter without the possibility of an Elon Musk and Lemmy/Piefed is Reddit without the possibility of a Steve Huffman. You clearly feel that you can do better than the collective efforts of the ActivityPub devs so I am rooting for you!

“Lemmy” is actually not a platform like Reddit, it’s software and the network of instances running that software is decentralized (Lemmy uses the ActivityPub protocol) meaning each instance is operated by a different person (or group). There are also other similar softwares like Piefed and mBin that work pretty well with Lemmy. That is all to say that if an Admin or Mod is “getting fascisty” you can block that instance, join another, or even create your own. That’s the beauty of ActivityPub!

The only thing I’m aware of that they do even remotely better than anyone else is privacy.

Where did you hear this? Its my understanding that they are one of the worst when it comes to privacy.
