Ha. Completely coincidental, but I just registered here as @SiliconAvatar. Kbin.earth seems to have federation issues, so it seemed easier to double up.

Happy cake day, treksite (and me) 🖖

It was always weird to me that, after 7 years playing Picard, as soon as they started making movies, Patrick Stewart’s instinct was to play him as an action hero 🤦

All of that beach buggy stunt driving in Nemesis should have gone on the editing floor.

Yeah, they went on their research expedition because apparently rumours about those weird transhumanist Swedes had already reached the Federation? Again, 18-20 years before “Q who”… The timeline is messed up, even before we consider time travel.

Edit: spelled “weird” weird.

Don’t forget Doctor Giger’s Cellular Regeneration and Entertainment Chamber!

Yyyyeahhhh… 😬 That’s not exactly planned out.

Also, the idea that Borg are fine with other beings running around their ships as long as you don’t point a phaser at them, or other aggressive gesturing I suppose. That’s out the window by the time of VOY “Dark frontier”, Janeway and Tuvok are carrying phaser rifles at the ready all around the Borg sphere.

Frankly, I never saw the salamander thing as a real downside to transwarp 🦎

What? It was explained that the church and the people in it were yanked from certain destruction in WWIII to Terralysium by the red angel. It is spelled out in the season arc.

You don’t like Disco, fine. But your lack of attention to the story is not the show’s fault.

Scotty was simply that good at tweaking the engines. That, or the crew were just playing to Kirk’s ego, pretending to go super fast à la "this amp goes to 11” while they trundled along at warp 7.

I’m watching VOY at the moment, and it makes no sense how Seven of Nine’s parents would have made contact with and been assimilated by the Borg, decades before Q threw the Enterprise-D across the galaxy to make (what we assumed to be) first contact with them.

In “Q who”, meeting the Borg is portrayed like blood in the water — now they have learned of the Federation, they will not stop until you are assimilated. Except oh wait, they did assimilate those three humans several years before, so they would have already known about the Federation.

Geez, I’m so tired of this “AI” shit. What a waste of time and energy 🤬

Wait, Christina Pike is a man? /s

José Tyler that’s the character she is based on

Nope, she’s clearly a completely different character. Tyler would have been on the crew during “The cage”, which takes place before the events of Discovery s2. According to his Memory Alpha entry:

By 2258, Tyler would be superseded as navigator by Lt. Amin. (DIS: “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2”)

Also, Tyler is listed on Memory Alpha as navigator, Ortegas as senior helmsman. Sure, it’s a fan wiki, but Trekkies are sticklers for these things.

LOL, now Discovery’s depiction of 32nd century technology is going to look even more underwhelming.

Right, when has any credible court system been in such a rush to try a case that’s philosophical at best, and could set a dangerous precedent at worst? If any old toaster gets to claim personhood, you’ll have holograms filing for copyright over fictional works within a deca— oh.

In real life (even plus a couple hundred years) they would be way past Nemesis, and Data would be dead* before it would make the court.

Sorry, duplicate post.

Ugh, yeah. That tracks with Goldman’s unfortunate Kirk fetish that, like his Gorn head canon, has broken established Trek continuity throughout SNW.

“Resolving conflicts that have been brewing all season”? Serialisation is against Roddenberry’s intentions!

I’m old, I didn’t even consider TikTok.

TBF, my dumb take on “Year of hell” could’ve probably easily have been a talking point on some neckbeard’s YT channel. The difference is, I realised it was stupid and offered it for a laugh instead of leveraging it toward the cancellation of Star Trek…

“Even with the break between seasons, it was only well into part two of The best of both worlds that I realised they had cast the same actor as Capt. Picard and Locutus. Terrible artistic choice, very confusing”

— no one, ever.

Ooh, tell me more! 🤣
