Everyone on the entire internet is part of one of the two major right wing parties in the USA

I haven't participated on Reddit since leaving for Lemmy, and I've barely participated on blahaj since leaving for hexbear

There is a crossover of lower decks characters in strange new worlds, but you'll get more out of that from seeing lower decks first

Stallman is right about all his free software takes except his take that commercial free software is acceptable.

(He also has a very bad take about they/them pronouns)

That could be done better with a campaign of targeted assassinations

There are other ways to watch Voyager

We've had a Trek version of Stellaris for a while in the New horizons mod

One thing I really like about the depiction of the Kaylon is that, as far as I remember, nobody ever suggests that they were wrong to kill their builders, only to generalize their hatred of those builders to all organics.

As early as episode 3 they were trying to do serious storylines, and as early as episode 4 they were succeeding. I think it was always intended to be real Trek with the serial numbers filed off but sold to Fox and consequently advertised as a parody.

Malloy is a stalker and a rapist in that timeline, it's good that Mercer went back and prevented it.

The first season being a bit of a mess is classic Trek behavior to be fair. I think the comedy angle was mostly a way to trick Fox into running it.

The Orville overall is right up there with the top tier Trek shows.

maquis did nothing wrong cardassians deserved it

No. All the episodes were good. There should be more of them though

It's just Wikipedia. Weird removal.

Anyway, the pak protectors are a concept from Larry Niven's known space setting. They're a hypothetical final life stage of humans which do not reproduce but which posess greatly enhanced intelligence and strength which serve the evolutionary function of protecting their bloodline.

The suggestion is that gorn adults work similarly, protecting and guiding the breeding life stage of gorn.

Beaming up random workers and teaching them theory

The idea of Warboss Janeway is doing psychic damage to me but it's also entirely correct

Neelix goes around handing people PADDs of their mail but that's because Neelix is terrible not because of any technological necessity.

Starman Jones is the most extreme example of that I know of. They have slipstick boys to do their FTL math and the MC's special ability is that he memorized all the log tables and so he can do the math faster.
