Dad?

And yet Prodigy handled him wonderfully!

But yeah, not sure lightning strikes twice, especially with the live action track record

Star Trek: Upper Decker

I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel at Starfleet Academy!

Thank you! These are always fantastic. Please keep them up!

Finished season 2 yesterday: wow! Hands down the best run of trek we’ve had in 25 years. Hope Netflix bites on another season or 3

I’ve had it up to here with these missing wigs!

I…have had…enough…of YOU!!

Yeah, oof indeed

Ass:The Final Frontier

She’s loaded with meat! She’s got more meat than a cow!

Leela: Space bandidos have been operating in this quadrant so you’ll each take 8-hour shifts guarding the safe. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Wait, hold on. I don’t like the sound of that. Let’s just go alphabetically

Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Wait, let’s go by rank.

Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Flexo outranks me?

Flexo: That’s “Flexo outranks me, sir”!

Pretty gutted at this news, but as others have pointed out, this move may cement LD as a classic without outstaying their welcome. And hopefully there is a desire for more animated Trek now

Enjoyed his interview on Jimmy Kimmel. He reenacts his death scene and frankly it’s quite better

Interesting, thanks!

I haven’t watched Discovery past episode 6 or 7 of season 1 (after the klingon sex scene, I tapped out) . I take it they’re 1000 years in the future now, and that’s when this series takes place?

If so, oof, it will be hard to identify with a millenium of progress, unless they pull a Futurama and have everything rebuilt a few hundred years in (after the second coming of Jesus of course). Why not go back to the Harve Bennett-era academy series for inspiration? Or set it after Nemesis?

The only redeeming grace for me so far is having Tawny Newsome (or is it Trondy Newman?) in the writers room. She is an absolute delight

Arguably they were still figuring out the tone, and how to revive a 20 year old franchise while not retreading the past. Not claiming there aren’t some duds, but later 90s Trek benefited from TNG cracking the “formula” and sticking to it.

Compare a modern spiritual successor to TNG like The Orville, which, despite a rocky premiere, just crushed it within 5-6 episodes, and kept crushing it, because they didn’t have to put so much legwork into defining the tone of the show.

The Orville… Still the best Trek of the modern era.

Look, it’s Kirk’s brother’s roommate’s boyfriend from that one background scene in that one episode! . Modern star wars has the same problem of making an entire universe seem so small. Makes me appreciate the bold choice that was Voyager: tossing them far away from anything familiar and any cameos (not that we didn’t get them but they had to be more creative within the premise, aka tuvok on sulu’s Excelsior )

Stunning!

Now this I’m interested in. Andor was a quite good and, importantly, character-driven study of a desperate man growing to challenge an insurmountable empire… You know, in contrast to the exhaustive world building and effects-heavy “pew pew” fan service that has become the rest of modern star wars

I dare say, I’d also enjoy this film much more than the nixed Tarantino film

When a very important Star Trek person wanders into Ben’s cargo bay, he leaves the handmade gun at home to avoid another encounter with security. But with a 50% hit rate on the backstage rider, “Bowmore 15 or similar” results in something “perfectly drinkable”. How did Waltke Senior inform Rok-Tahk’s mouth? Is Kevin Uxbridge being discussed inside of Big Rodd’s pocket? Does Nickelodeon slime have a shelf life? It’s the episode that’s made for specialized collectors of Star Trek V memorabilia!

This is in English but I have absolutely no idea what it says

Your mistletoe is no match for my TOW missile!
