… but but but he did the Kessel run in 12 parsecs or something maaaaan

It reaches out it reaches out it reaches out it reaches out — One hundred and thirteen times a second, nothing answers and it reaches out

> Batel’s Gorn DNA infusion, the treatment from the chimera plant, and her earlier encounter with the Vezda are stirred up into a convoluted sci-fi stew to explain all this in a dialogue scene that tries with all its might to use sci-fi-y terminology to convince us this actually makes sense, but mostly just draws attention to what a whopper of an ass-pull it all really is. The overriding sense one gets while watching this is, “Well, they’re just making stuff up now and pretending it holds water.” It really doesn’t. But I have to admit that I respect the commitment to the sheer insanity of the concept, even if the effort and seam-hiding are lacking. In the end, it’s basically, “because we said so.”

god bless Jammer.

> None of this “Universal Star-child” bullshit.

Bang on. It’s the same reason I couldn’t stand Discovery. There’s a universe ending problem and you alone are the key to solving it? Blech.

Fan fic with higher production values.

I think Batel was a well written character, otherwise.

> Look, TNG got a sequel series (Picard), Voyager got a sequel series (Prodigy)… what we want is for DS9 to get one

You and I both know a Garak miniseries is the only appropriate answer.

Honestly it could be something as prohibitive as not having secured film and TV rights from the authors.

I can imagine that doing it after the fact is often quite expensive.

oh gosh judgement rites… the fact they built a full on 2D dogfight simulator in that game was epic.

I got good enough at it that I could shoot down Trelane.

Spoiler alert — it didn’t matter, he stranded you on the planet anyway.

Sound a bit like XCOM2 set in the ST universe. I’m game.

If we’re seeing the wind down of new Star Trek shows but a resurgence of games, I am totally on board for this

Star Trek Armada reboot please 😁

It’s like they didn’t consult the daystrom institute at all! Haha

Although tbf I think the port and starboard thrusters are aft facing.

Spot on about the airlock though.

The fuel source with just a bit of bite!

Is anybody else curious about the fact that you can manually engage port or starboard thrusters via a conveniently located joystick in the hallway?

ijon_the_human@lemmy.world the whole forgotten spaceship idea was worth at least a multi episode arc, but I don’t think we’ll get much, which is too bad because there’s quite a bit to explore. Not even some old log entries to listen to.

Double edged sword that is the episodic show.

This episode is giving me some Firefly vibes.

Don’t forget the rocks built into every console

valuesubtracted@startrek.website CTV SciFi is still an add-on channel, which is unfortunate for freeloaders like me (I use an antenna which probably makes me a crusty old fart.)

If you live in the GTA, you should definitely check out The Cotton Factory! Cool art and makerspace.

Unfortunately in one of the sketchier parts of Hamilton, but that seems to be par for the course for these types of places.

ussmojave@startrek.website yeah, I’m watching it now! It’s pretty well done.

To be fair, Human music theory is also weird.

A lot of what we teach our kids about music theory is rooted in the firm foundation of “it is this way because it just is, so just remember it.”

Like why is the circle of fourths and fifths the way it is? Because it just is. Remember it. When you’re learning key signatures why doesn’t the key match the signature (D major is F# and C#,. but Bb major has a Bb and an Eb?!)? Because it just is. Remember it.

It’s no wonder music theory gets completely lost on kids. It doesn’t make any sense!
