  • Am I posting on social media?

    If so, then, and wherever my phone pings to a tower.

    Well, or I'm on the exercise bike, because the phone thinks I'm taking steps, so I double up on calorie calculations as an excuse to drink more.

    ... but that stays only on the phone, right?

    ...right?

  • Air-by messes up an episode or three. I'd have to find my list.

    And no, in all seriousness I watch all of it. LD is a fine parody/comedy, and I can enjoy it as a Trek show without yelling at the screen or my eyes rolling out of my head. I care not who says it is or is not canon, no more than I would ever tell anyone else how any fiction may exist in someone else's mind.

    Reality, on the other hand... wew lads there's a lot of people I want to smash reality into their heads through their ears, errr, but that's not relevant to this thread or sub...

  • When millions of dollars are at stake in the streaming wars, and I see dozens of near-zero-cost posts about how "this is exactly the Trek all us old Trek fans have been waiting for dudbebrodudes!! It's so amazingly goodlier than other stuff!" on reddit and now on lemmy, you're damn right I am.

    This show is badly-written CW schlock. It ignores canon, it is utterly devoid of coherent, consistent writing, and it lacks any of the soul of TOS, TNG, DS9, and at least most of VOY.

    It is not good trek, and I will argue to the fucking death with the idea it is.

    Lower Decks actually has the soul (not to mention the classic structure) of Star Trek, even as a parody.

    SNW is only slightly less-abysmal than DIS. At least it still isn't as bad as Picard.

  • Gen X here. Sorry, I'm going to be an asshole.

    I am not telling anyone they can't enjoy it, but when I see things like this, I just can't leave it alone.

    I disagree with everything you said, and much like the incessant, "Dude, this is finally the Trek show we wanted dudebrodude!" It honestly makes me question your motives, because I've seen similar, though more blatant, gaslighting elsewhere.

    This show suffers from the same illogical plots, very questionable dialogue, and blatant canon failures as Discovery, making a mockery of everything I loved about Star Trek from TOS and growing up through TNG and DS9. This show is nothing like what I grew up with, a calm, consistent, well-considered and well-written morality tale. This show is modern, CW-level feely-feels-schlock. Anyone that enjoys it is welcome to it; but it is nothing like TOS or TNG from my formative years.

  • Gotta be super really for reals for a minute: armadillos are a big vector for this, and they've expanded across the southeast in recent years.

    Only maybe a decade ago, I'd never seen an armadillo outside of an LCD (or CRT) screen, and now they're regularly run over on highways/interstates from Tennessee to the FL panhandle.

    That said, why the central Floridians are getting all up in dead armadillos is anyone's meth--I mean guess.
