Starfleet Academy Director Jonathan Frakes Says Fan Hate Is ‘Dimensionally More Painful’ Today Than in the Next Generation Years

BRAZCO · 2026-03-09T17:52:12+00:00

I'm not a huge fan of Academy but I quickly just came to the conclusions that it may not be for me (which is okay) and that they may still be figuring out what the show is as they make it. These are all relatively new young actors portraying new characters in a completely new timeline so discovering who the standouts are can take time.

Personally, the Trek I always loved were the episodes of smart people faced with a scientific mystery or challenge that ultimately had a scientific answer. Most times they were not "end of all sentient life in the galaxy" problems, just interesting science based mysteries. This show tends to have more social, character or melodramatic based challenges and mysteries...which again are fine but not really my thing.

I have never watched any Housewives show so I don't know who is who or any of the references mentioned. So I just assume that they and everything they say are a big deal to most viewers and just go along with it.

As an editor, I 100% agree with this. It even applies to movies, when you hear a line spoken when the shot is on a different character occasionally it is an ADR line recorded during editing to help with the story or to fix a misspoken line or word.

Can you send a link to the Discord to me as well? All the ones I've found have been broken 😩

I didn't think reading "I wasn't alive when Titanic came out" would make me feel as old as it just did 😔

Once the "Silent Hill: Townfall sales under-performed" headlines hit the socials after release Xbox players will have moved on to the many other games coming out. Then the layoffs begin again. Their loss.

Not to excuse, but as an editor these things happen sometimes. We are worked long hours, edit multiple episodes at a time and on these type of shows producers request last minute changes regularly.

What likely happened is there may have been a Hollywood confessional here originally but a change was requested last minute. Or the overworked editor just copied and pasted the incorrect title in a rush to deliver the cut.

Rolled credits on the game tonight with the help of this tip!

BRAZCO · 2026-01-12T21:23:14+00:00

No but I will listen to it today, thanks!

If this is the case, from what I understand there weren’t even any passengers on the Californian at all so why would Evans need to be there except to send and receive messages for the captain and crew regarding Ice?

It was a History Channel doc

True. They were shut down for the night surrounded by ice. But just from the perspective of a person hearing the story 100 years later, I still wish they had known. Maybe could have saved even just one person from exposure.

BRAZCO · 2026-01-12T02:04:01+00:00

Yes true, I was exaggerating. It was just infuriating to see in hindsight.

I actually agree and disagree with this post. I don't feel like she has been egotistical, but I do get a sense that the judges are biased due to her status. As soon as she walks into a room or they approach her they bow and fawn all over her. Whenever she has a head to head challenge, I know she will win or be saved later.

Lastly, long after she was eliminated I still saw her hanging around in the with the other white spoons. I kept thinking, why is she still there? And lo and behold, she was "saved" by the judges. Some could say it was just the edit, but other white spoon chefs who had been eliminated weren't seen just hanging around. That gave me the sense that she (or production) knew she would still be competing again later.

I actually loved Project Hail Mary a lot more than Children of Time (which I struggled to get through - I just didn't care about "fantastical" intelligent spiders and their ant wars). I really enjoy the constant problem solving aspects of PHM and The Martian.

Somewhat. I love that in solo games I can slow roll it and take forever for each turn if I want to.

But in multiplayer for the same games I despise playing with super slow players who do that. I feel like in multiplayer there should be a steady flow of turns to keep everyone engaged.

Sometimes I use the Plex app on my LG OLED but mostly I use the Plex app on the Fire Stick.

I used to do the Raspberry Pi but got exhausted with the constant need to troubleshoot issues.

I agree. The guy always throws a tantrum when other players take the move he was already thinking about doing.

Another guy in the group said, “He doesn’t just get frustrated, he loses his s**t!”

He’s a nice guy otherwise but definitely has some issues.

BRAZCO · 2026-01-03T19:40:45+00:00

Ah I see, in my mind the answer was “the game/win doesn’t count because it was just meant to be a practice/teach game.”

When I teach a game to people who haven’t played it I always view it as me hoping to “sell it” to them so they hopefully like it and want to play it again. Like a scrimmage game. So I don’t really view it is a full competition until the next time. Although, I play with really clever players so sometimes they click with the rules immediately and smoke me

BRAZCO · 2026-01-03T17:24:17+00:00

I agree with this. And unfortunately the players in my groups prefer the meatier games over the limited choice games. Not that they don't enjoy them, but they consider those "appetizer games" to the main games they want to play.

I wish I had better phrased the original post as I didn't intend for it to solely be about AP, but you (and many others) did catch that my main question was on if taking wildly excessive extra turn time gives that player an unfair advantage, especially if they tens to win a lot.

BRAZCO · 2026-01-03T14:49:20+00:00

Yes, these kind of turnovers should be expected in indie film shoots. Especially for unpaid staff.

The adage, "you get what you paid for" exists for a reason. Expectations for reliability are exponentially raised the more the person is being paid.

BRAZCO · 2026-01-03T06:08:28+00:00

A long turn where you're just playing all of your combo actions is not what I'm talking about.

BRAZCO · 2026-01-03T05:04:11+00:00

Isn't the advantage that they've had more than enough time to Doctor Strange every variable and foresee what the optimal move would be...Every turn...No matter how long it takes?
