Also Disco's set up in such a way that nothing's stopping it from dribbling on forever really (as it wont break any canon) so they might as well wind it up or it'll Simpsonsify.

She's the new engineer so I'm rather guessing yes.

absolutely psyched - still can’t believe they worked out how to make a good star trek - esp from this least vibey of premises - all praise to Nu-Pike for being charismatic enough to hang a TV show around

Pretty stoked for this - I really tried and like 1/2 of Disco, but Strange New Worlds first season was some fun sci fi/ Star Trek canon.

I'm not saying it's not true, but I do love an actor saying "what I'm hearing from the fans is they want more of my character!"
― trishyb, Wednesday, 14 June 2023 07:35 (ten months ago) link
Ha yeah that was great - and then the next shot is just “Ortegas does tricky manoeuvre” which feels like the most stock and one-dimensional thing to see that character doing - but maybe we all just wanna see her doing it more! Like, just a bigger section of the SNW pie-chart is that! I don’t care I love this show and am psyched to have it BACK
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Wednesday, 14 June 2023 08:10 (ten months ago) link
I'm most looking forward to the Lower Decks crossover.
― Cashews Everything Around Me (Leee), Wednesday, 14 June 2023 20:57 (ten months ago) link
I think of this as the Pike N Spock show but that video reminded me how great the rest of the cast is. Hope they bring back the space pirate, and maybe Bruce Horak in another role!
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 14 June 2023 21:44 (ten months ago) link
I remain surprised that they resolved the issue with the Doctor’s daughter so quickly though! Seemed like they could’ve done more with that.

Okay we are off and running! Good start there.

This is actually later in the day than last time now that I'm doing the middle of the day at work! Last year I watched episodes at lunch at home.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 June 2023 23:48 (ten months ago) link
hah, I was also a regular Star Trek viewer over lunch the last couple years. imo any time after the episode drops is fair game, buyer beware when clicking on threads
I apparently switched how I subscribed to Paramount between last season and this one and made it fifteen minutes into s01e01 before thinking “oh, I know why this seems familiar”
it’s been a long week

i have a dumb questioni didn’t really get the exchange btw Chapel & the Doctor before they take the serum - she kept being like, are you sure you want to do this you don’t have to do this etc etc what did i miss/not remember about doctor’s backstory? i know he said he READ a lot about wars and stuff but i think i missed a key thing somewhere in s1 maybe
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 16 June 2023 19:50 (ten months ago) link
I assumed it was a secret past we’ll find out more about this season. He was Starfleet John Wick and retired to save lives instead or something.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Friday, 16 June 2023 19:55 (ten months ago) link
he mentioned being on a certain moon during the klingon war, where he was seemingly the only person (or at least human) to survive

This was great! Wonderful little character moments, and even though you knew that no one was going to die, the episode still delivered. Seconding drunk Spock.
I kept wondering what the green juice was. Kale smoothie? Vulcan blood?

with the fullness of time i’m now somewhat miffed that i was denied a full episode of Captain Pike but i agree it was a fun episode nonetheless
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 17 June 2023 19:49 (ten months ago) link
glad to report that i laughed with happiness about six times during this episode, which is my regular experience of watching this show, just sheer pleasure at them doing it so right
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Saturday, 17 June 2023 19:57 (ten months ago) link
annoyingly lower decks is only available thru amazon prime in Australia - is it worth holding my nose and throwing bezos some coin in order to prep for the crossover ep?
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Saturday, 17 June 2023 20:07 (ten months ago) link
if you have the $ to spare , i say do iti love lower decks so much, it’s soooo nerdy

most of lower decks has been on piratebay, may still be there. Is piracy more ethical than supporting dodgy tycoons?

― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 18 June 2023 20:29 (ten months ago) link
canada has legally enforced media monopolies, including bell which owns distribution of star trek.

Geez I havent seen anyone actively sending takedown notices to ISP customers in years. Maybe I just dont work in the right teams anymore (I used to see more Abuse email than I do these days).
You should of course use a VPN when sailing the seas. Have to in AU anyway - PyRat Bae doesnt work without one.
