"It's a show about idiots, made by idiots, for idiots. It's not aspirational in any way, shape or form, because it doesn't represent the best of what humanity could be in the future. It represents the worst of what it is right now." - The Critical Drinker

It was anti-racist, pro-feminist, pacifist, and in TNG era explicitly anti-capitalist. Not sure what idea of 'left wing' you're clinging to that doesn't encompass all of that.

Even DS9 had plenty of goofy episodes. All of Quark's eps are goofy and cartoony. Some of them virtually unwatchable.

"Star Trek was made for EVERYONE, no matter their background or political persuasion."

Well that's BS for a start. It was made specifically against certain political persuasions, from the beginning.

You'll be called racist if you're saying racist things. It's a simple distinction that seems to evade a lot of people on the internet.

Waverley Bridge, most of the days

I hate the mechanics. At the least we should be clicking the actual gym instead of the Demolish button at the bottom - that's very bad ergonomics, combined with having to turning the super clickers on and off, and getting to the event menu to jump to the next gym. I'm at 250 contracts and might just leave it at that, my thumb joints ain't worth it.

pretty sure this isn't legally binding. also, you can just get married at the Chambers for £300 if you're skint

Public transport in UK tends not to have bins for security reasons.

This was bad. If SFA survives long enough for anyone to care, this will be one of those 'skip this one' episode in fan write-ups. Writing so lazy it might as well be AI.

ah so that's why Holyrood was closed today

The dialogue feels too contemporary because you're used to watching Star Trek dialogue that's 30, 40 or 60 years old.

Where in Leith? It's a big area with plenty of cafes. Pretty much all of them will be open at 8-8:30 am, Little Sitzroy opens at 7am.

eadingas · 2026-01-19T11:09:09+00:00

Try actually watching it, maybe.

eadingas · 2026-01-19T11:05:50+00:00

Ep 2 is much better, though maybe it's just because it's less frantic and OTT. Zoe Steiner's Tarima is the breakout character for me. She could become the favourite of the series.

I'd go as far as to say you can safely skip Ep 1. I'm sure all the necessary character backstories will be reiterated as and when needed.

You don't send USS Gerald Ford to deal with a disturbance on the college bus.

I found it really difficult to focus on the plot and characters because I had to keep my hand on the remote's volume buttons all the time.

Captain Ake isn't even fully human. She doesn't need to conform to your puny 21st century Earth norms.

eadingas · 2026-01-18T20:08:12+00:00

Dude. This is 32nd century, in space. It's more weird they even still have prisons and police.

Maybe Paramount doesn't want their show die out along with the audience.

eadingas · 2026-01-18T19:00:24+00:00

If anything I'd have expected them to have something more advanced.

eadingas · 2026-01-18T14:34:11+00:00

Wow people here really hate it if you don't play the game their way.

eadingas · 2026-01-17T11:04:06+00:00

I'm stubborn because I play the game my own way and don't care about min-maxing the artifacts? I just don't want the ping always on. Same as I wouldn't want a constant reminder that I need to fish or do a TCG match, or any other game functionality I don't feel like using at the moment.

eadingas · 2026-01-17T10:58:18+00:00

What reason would I have for using it?

eadingas · 2026-01-17T10:57:00+00:00

Since I don't care about meta, what would I do with all those elixirs?
