At a convention, Tim Russ told a few stories about being a real prankster on set, so maybe he just got rebuked by his coworker for messing up a shot

Is that… Neelix? I’m struggling to remember this episode but it sorta looks like Neelix mildly dry humping the air to avoid being sucked off out of the elevator.

For what it’s worth, I also found those opening court room scenes in SFA absolutely maddening. The whole scene made so little sense. Why was Caleb even in that room? Why did the Federation rip a child away from his mother like that anyway? Even if his mother was arrested, why did they go about it in the most trauma inducing way possible? If Nus is so dangerous, why was he just allowed to stand next to the person accusing him of abuse?

I feel like we already have solutions to so many of the issues in that opening scene alone in the backwards 21st century, why were we again struggling to solve them in the 32nd?

I’ll take more workplace comedy with Tawny Newsome.

Lower Decks was the best of the newer Trek series and her podcast had been a real hoot. It was fun seeing her in the Lower Decks x Strange New Worlds crossover, so I bet she’ll do well in a series.

It would be cool to see more SNW, too.

Edit: reminder that paramount is owned by a right wing oligarch who is actively trying to control our media and destroy our democracy so don’t pay them a fucking cent!

My partner tells me something similar. That I make long pauses when I speak, that he’s usually right in his guessing and that not doing it is insanely stressful. It sounds incredibly frustrating, to be fair, so I’m trying hard to not be annoyed at what I, as a gut reaction, perceive is rudeness.

The thing is, that doesn’t really line up with how I experience it. I feel I get interrupted between words and it seems like I have to then pause and correct him more often than say “That’s right!” (Something I’m trying to do when he does guess correctly instead of getting annoyed at being interrupted).

So I wonder if there’s a common element in ADHD people thinking neurotypical people are talking much slower than the neurotypical perceive they are and if the instances of being incorrect feel more inconsequential or perhaps the instances of being correct in guessing are very validating in some way.

It’s pretty validating to hear this. My partner, I love him to death, but oh my God when he tries to predict what I’m going to say and cuts me off to do so, it feels so rude. It’s like why should I bother speaking if you already have decided what I’m going to say? And it’s so often inaccurate.

I know it’s part of the ADHD processing so I try to dismiss it, I know he doesn’t mean to cut me off, but WOW is it trying.

What them Breen do, huh?

I dunno how to tell ya that queer-coded terrorist is gonna win vs stodgy doctor 9 outta 10 times.

The tonal shifts are really rough. Jarring is right. I feel like I need to watch the first episode again because they’d jump from one baffling thing to another. Why is Starfleet ripping a child away from a mother? Why is there no councilor? Why is the captain/headmaster now trying to play mom to this kid??? Oh wait emotional scene over now it’s your first day at school young man! What wacky characters will you meet? There’s for some reason a hologram child?? Sure she’s an autistic person analog but why not make her that and instead a hologram? To what end? Don’t think too hard, we’re back to violence!! Violence with some flat dull jokes! Slapstick!

Argh. Exhausting.

No, it seems like it will follow a gaggle of students, but the premier starts with setting up the dark backstory of one of them in an over the top way and it takes forever. Eventually they get to Starfleet Academy.

No worries if you found it confusing. Every few seconds there’s a baffling decision displayed, so it kinda short circuits the brain and makes it hard to pay attention.

I think people who like Disco will like Starfleet Academy.

The premier had some neat parts, but I think the structure, pacing and writing of the show have moved away from something I easily recognize as Star Trek and at the end, I was left more confused than interested in more.

Well, I can’t watch the actual introductions because they’re all stuck on Instagram, but the trailer posted seemed… fine, I guess. It seemed kinda action forward but that’s just part of some episodes. The writing seemed a little sloppy? Like Picardo saying “we got X injured but no casualties”. Casualties include injured, don’t they? Also maybe it was just me but everyone’s mouths looked like they were moving kinda weird during the action shots. Maybe that’s a playback issue tho.

Oh, what a shame, I really do love it as a tea. You can use it as a mixer with whisky or other brown liquors, though, or use it as a mild form of liquid smoke.

Please don’t suck…

WOW $400 fuck that

That e doing a lotta work I don’t think you want it doing

I’m guessing OP hasn’t finished watching Voyager…

Lmao they mean it’s $29,990. It’s $30k new. That’s not cheap.
