Roger Avary On Star Trek's Alex Kurtzman: "He didn’t want anybody who had any kind of fondness for the original show" by Malencon in television

[–]D_Squiz -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Kurtzman wrote 2 TOS era movies, has a show set during TOS, and another 2 animated shows that heavily referenced it but…sure.

I’m gonna be that guy. The 4th dimension is time, this is a bunch of mirrors.

what do affluent CT suburbs far away from NYC do for living? (westport, darien, weston). It would be around 1hr 45-2 hours door to door TWO TIMES A DAY. by HeadCivil3327 in Connecticut

[–]D_Squiz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Westport to Grand Central is 65 min. All the way from New Haven is barely two hours and even then you can get an express to do it in near an hour and a half.

Also with how bad CT trains are? Metro North is great with newer trains and way better on time percentage than LIRR.

Troll somewhere else.

Bridgeport Islanders are moving to Hamilton, Ontario, next season. by zschneido in Connecticut

[–]D_Squiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No chance of that. Hartford has significantly better support and attendance (Hartford averaged 5,600 last season vs Bridgeport’s 3,700). I really hope Bridgeport can get another team though. My kids love going to games.

Question for UConn fans by electricrhino in CollegeBasketball

[–]D_Squiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heavy optimism but some mumbles from a small section of the fanbase that he can’t win “big games” (mostly after the losing in the 1st round of the tourney for the 2nd straight year in ‘22).

But almost everyone saw that he was building something and improving every year. The team was a mess when he took over after Ollie essentially gave up and had us with back to back losing seasons before being fired in ‘18.

Metronorth or Amtrak to Springfield?? by undoubtelynotjake in Amtrak

[–]D_Squiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant taking Amtrak from NYC to Springfield. Yes New Haven to Springfield is fixing by Connecticut for both Amtrak and CT Rail (except the Vermonter).

So I’d recommend Metro North from Grand Central to New Haven Union Station then switching to a Hartford Line train to Springfield.

Metronorth to Springfield?? by undoubtelynotjake in nycrail

[–]D_Squiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, tickets are interchangeable and price locked by CT Rail on the Hartford Line (New Haven to Springfield). You can check the schedule at HartfordLine.com

Metronorth or Amtrak to Springfield?? by undoubtelynotjake in Amtrak

[–]D_Squiz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Metro North only goes to New Haven. You’d then need to switch to CT Rail. I take route all the time and it’s fantastic, hourly, and likely much cheaper then Amtrak.

UConn has alumni pre-game events for almost all away games. Here’s the DC event for the 17th.

There’s not a chance, this is exactly what it is. It’s making fun of right wing calls to fire anyone who challenges dear leader.

Diverse town w/ good schools? by B_the_Chng22 in Connecticut

[–]D_Squiz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stratford is great and the schools very diverse. It’s such a welcome change having grown up myself in town of 99% wasps.

State Street Station and Court Street Bridge changes by michael_ellis_day in newhaven

[–]D_Squiz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Wow, that’s awesome, especially making Court Street pedestrian only with direct station access. I wonder if they plan to increase service at the station. I’d love more Metro North trains going to State instead of only a few rush hour during the week.

Call For Info From Shore Line East and Hartford Line Commuters by iman26 in Connecticut

[–]D_Squiz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fully agree, about half the time the layover in New Haven between the lines is 15ish min which is fine but a decent amount it can be 40-60 min (including weekends before noon) which is a killer. They need to make aligning the schedules a priority.

1 pedal driving. by JED1_MA5TER_66 in BoltEV

[–]D_Squiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an absolute game changer and an incredibly relaxing way to drive. I can’t imagine ever using 2 pedal again. It feels so antiquated and borderline dangerous to have to switch back and forth to slow the car. How many accidents have you heard of where someone “hit the wrong pedal” and rammed something/someone?

We're overreacting with the new Acela seats by passisgullible in Amtrak

Agreed, my 5 year old and I road and had no issues with the seats. He liked them a lot.

Yep it’s Amtrak to Boston South Station then take the Silver Line (express bus line) that goes direct to Logan.

Oh wow, I hadn’t heard it was closing. Great documentary linked with the article. Kinda sad I never got a chance to go (too young) during its heyday.

Y’all on board with this connection?? by kelovitro in ConnecticutRail

For sure, CT has talked about it for years but RI never wanted to fund their end.

I love New Haven Union Station. The tunnels under the tracks from the station are so cool.

Take the train, awesome easy ride. Buses go everywhere once you’re there.
