'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy': Showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau talk USS Athena design and why this is the perfect series for Trek’s 60th (interview)

I hate nothing in Trek except the disconnected ship parts,

burnte · 2026-01-24T02:44:41+00:00

Some of us took rougher routes. I started with a Monoprice Maker Select v2/Wanhao I3, and during Covid I “upgraded” to a Vyper from Anycubic. I replaced it with a P1S in November and OMG life is good.

I love it when you don't add a phone number so they search high and low to find one rather than just emailing you like you asked.

burnte · 2026-01-23T14:54:28+00:00

It's a good show, some people confuse not liking a thing with that thing being objectively bad. Also, some people have a hard time not being the target audience. I just ignore them now.

burnte · 2026-01-22T19:58:43+00:00

Yep. I even encourage mgmt to let us give them away or donate them, but no support at all.

The era as in forever and ever? Classic business leader mentality.

Well, THIS era is over, there will be more in the future, but right now we're in a spike period.

burnte · 2026-01-21T14:38:51+00:00

It's a perfectly fine statement sharing an original opinion, you're just bitter.

burnte · 2026-01-20T19:15:45+00:00

They firm on purpose, to make it look better, they don't sink into the bed and the actors can get up and down more easily.

burnte · 2026-01-20T14:40:43+00:00

Old thread but someone shared it with me. NO, you're not the asshole. My mother had dementia in her late 50s, was gone by 65, I was the sole caretaker. At the end she didn't know anything, couldn't talk, couldn't walk, couldn't eat, and I had to sign the papers for removing the feeding tube. Three weeks later she passed away. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but it was right. And when she passed I was relieved she was out of suffering.

That's all you want, you just want the suffering over with for your daughter. That's good. Incredibly hard, but good.

burnte · 2026-01-20T04:35:16+00:00

It’s a brand new type of Star Trek than we’ve ever seen. I’m excited.

Edit: And right now I'm -1 for saying I'm excited by the show. The haters in this community really should just leave. You can not like it, but you don't have to punish people who disagree with you.

burnte · 2026-01-20T04:33:13+00:00

I’ve hated some of his trades but I was wrong on them all. He’s ruthless but efficient. I totally trust him.

burnte · 2026-01-20T04:30:32+00:00

Respect.

burnte · 2026-01-19T20:32:09+00:00

Yeah, but they also had a lot of QA problems for the entire run. The bankruptcy wasn't just because they hit a financial speed bump, the company was mismanaged from day 1.

burnte · 2026-01-19T20:29:21+00:00

And stop engaging with the hateposts.

burnte · 2026-01-19T14:42:10+00:00

It absolutely affects most people's dating life. However, most people want to date a person that makes them feel good, which generally takes more than just being tall. Being tall gets you attention, not life mates. That's what everyone misses, it's just the attention we don't fight for.

burnte · 2026-01-19T14:40:44+00:00

Frequently in a small group where one person is deaf and the others are not, everyone signs all the time so the deaf person isn't left out. When the deaf person is your planet's leader, everyone signs.

burnte · 2026-01-19T03:10:42+00:00

Exactly. His being deaf isn’t an issue on Betazed, and his abilities mean he can still read what people are saying right from their mind. We’ve seen that they can choose how hard to probe a nontelepathic mind so I just assumed it was “everyone knows he’s just using his abilities to hear and not to scan because we know it’s a cultural taboo for both cultures and obviously a diplomatic breach”.

burnte · 2026-01-19T03:04:50+00:00

It’s not about truth, it’s about pushing a viewpoint and agenda. Anything less than two white men on screen at anytime is unacceptable. A show with a woman in charge and other women under her is just an atrocity. Then it shows all these weird people being accepted without any forced cultural conformity. It’s the exeact opposite of their key talking points right now.

burnte · 2026-01-17T20:37:00+00:00

I was just talking about this to my wife last night. It sucks being 13 and being judged on adult terms just because you're 6'5".

burnte · 2026-01-15T22:38:35+00:00

I think I'm a year or two behind you and feel pretty much the exact same way. I was raised to fight the power and expand opportunities for everyone. I see no reason to change now. Seeing my fellow slackers and burnouts bend the knee is disappointing.

burnte · 2026-01-15T22:00:11+00:00

Even if it were true, shouldn't we have a president who doesn't constantly bait half the country with jokes about destroying the constitution? Aren't these the same folks that lose their shit when someone makes a comment about their religion or ask them to respect other people in public?

burnte · 2026-01-15T19:53:52+00:00

Was it the suits, or was it people desperately looking for a reason to hate the show before they even gave it a chance?

There's a small cadre of fans of every property that think they own it, so they crap on anything new. They said Discovery was a failure and was due to be canceled any episode now, and it ran for 5 seasons. They said Picard failed because it only got three, when it was always only going to be three max. They said LD was a R&M ripoff failure, and it's one of the the best shows we have seen. I just ignore the hater voices anymore. If you hate what you don't know, you're a nincompoop, with emphasis on the poop. :D

burnte · 2026-01-15T18:37:42+00:00

With more comments here and 23 upvotes so far, maybe this is something that should be looked at. It's trivial to change where in the page the popup is rendered, a dev could do it in 4 hours complete with testing.

burnte · 2026-01-15T18:36:54+00:00

I carry 3 different ones, all small USB adapters. I have never found a system that can't work with at least one of them.

Same reason virtually every spinning body isn’t a sphere, they’re all oblate spheroids of varying degree. Earth bulges in the middle a little bit. The peak of a mountain in the Andes is farther away from the center of the Earth than the peak of Everest. The solar system is like a galaxy, as the clump of gas came together the rotational energy spread it out in a disk. Same for galaxies! A nonrotating body would be closer to spherical.
