Russell T Davies leaving the words "Doctor Who" off a script and suddenly remembering how to write tense drama and good dialogue.

Obsessed with her 😩 #StarTrekLowerDecks #lowerdecks #BeckettMariner #StarTrek

Frasier just said “I don’t see why not” and if I’m honest I’m a little worried that the next fifteen minutes of footage will demonstrate _exactly_ why not.

yeah man I wouldn't tell people I thought Stalin's only crime was not waging cataclysmic war against the victorious Western Allies either

if any of you have money to spare please help grumpy pay his power bill, he has to pay $1000 in a few days or else his power will get cut off in the dead of winter

I have just three days to come up with a grand to keep my power on as we approach the Christmas season. Y'all, I could really use some help right now, or a miracle.

Three saddest words in the English language: Keir Starmer’s Substack

This is what plays him off so interestingly against a character like Garak, who considers himself a patriot working for a great good (as he might define it) but does not believe on any level, even for a second, that he's actually a misunderstood good person

Dukat's evil lies in his absolutely genuine belief that he himself is the most important person alive, and his seething, bubbling grievance when other people -- like, say, those whose occupation he oversaw -- disagree

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

sexy teen soap set at starfleet academy? why not! they should make every type of show star trek. moody scandinavian police procedural star trek. half-hour family sitcom starring worf. vulcan columbo

Pleased that Starfleet Academy looks gay as fuck

The personalization of power really is proving in the neo-medievalists right, huh Not only with the oligarchs, but the rise of networks of influencers, some trustworthy and others less so, to replace institutions of knowledge is really giving "respected ulama/monk cultivates personalist cult" vibes

the netflix merger is gonna be a disaster on so many levels so of course the far-right is focusing on non-issues about it instead

bugs bunny was literally the first guy in drag i ever saw but ok

should be bigger news that ICE raided a taco shop in Tucson and when a sitting member of Congress, on her way to lunch, stepped into a protest to ask ICE what they were doing they pepper sprayed her and tear gassed everyone on the block

A new Star Trek show about: a school, relationships, coming of age stories, loads of diversity, using existing characters, doesn’t have a focus on exploration, takes many elements of plots & species we’ve seen before, a villain with a connection to someone’s mother. Welcome to Deep Space Nine.

Ok, wait a minute, are there people actually upset over Starfleet Academy now? WTF? I thought we were all on the same page that this was going to be amazing. Ya’ll need to get ahold of your selves. I’m not gonna do the whole hating on Star Trek cause it’s not “your Star Trek” thing all over again.

It's the weekend, baby

just got flashbanged on twitter by a bunch of artificially boosted anti-nutrek AI slop so i might start using bluesky more if i wanna talk with people about trek without wanting to claw my eyes out

Happy Thanksgiving

I interrupted the secret meeting

The Bishop of Rome is more capable of dialogue with trans people than the Labour Party, which isn't...great

What’s your unpopular Star Trek opinion? Kurtzman is a good show runner and gets way too much hate for how much he has contributed to Trek.

Finally a big city mayor raised on “YOU CAN’T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!”

The trick 'r treaters are getting something special this year.

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes. that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry. but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

apparently star trek 09 premiered at kai winn's hat before it premiered anywhere else

JD Vance is gonna be sincerely telling us that Trump should be a king (or a dictator, or the like) by the time this shit is over. It will not go over well, but these guys are apparently incapable of making decisions not based on their desperate emotional need to immediately own the libs.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Star Trek even to this day is really a push and pull between the appeals of DS9 and Voyager imo

It's an unfortunate reality that we will need a dozen or so more failures like this before Americans really start believing this.

We live in a time where being a critic of experts is seen as making you more qualified for a job than actually being an expert in said job.

Such things are unsustainable.

My lifelong hatred of the Yankees continues to be correct.

The thing about Newsom is that if it’s politically expedient, he’s shown a tendency to disavow support for vulnerable people. He needs to be grilled more about that. But because it’s politically expedient now, he’s facing reality and saying what we need Democrats at all levels to be saying.

why do so many lower decks fans ignore that freeman is a blatantly abusive mother?

Physical Media Is Cool Again. Streaming Services Have Themselves to Blame Collectors new and old tell Rolling Stone there's nothing quite like the feel of holding your favorite art in your hands.

the problem with letting democrats backslide their support of trans rights whether it be trans in sports or using bathrooms is we’ve seen “compromise” in the UK labor party. they gave into “reasonable” TERF demands and it destroyed the labor party and all rights for trans people

One thing I don’t understand is, why is is that left-of-center parties are the only ones who voluntarily surrender on issues? Where as right-of-center parties never compromise, never surrender, never moderate.
