Timeline cleanse: STAR TREK: DISCOVERY (2017) "Choose Your Pain" Visual Effects by Pixomondo

lots of talk in PIC s1 & 3 about how Picard's way isn't always the right way and not everyone belongs in Starfleet. Jack says it explicitly, Seven's arc proves it, and they both end up joining up, doing the Starfleet thing. imo it's season 3's worst betrayal of Star Trek: Picard's as a unique series

this is why I love the beautiful mess that is Star Trek: Picard season 1

Controversial Star Trek opinion: Starfleet as a vehicle for storytelling is played out The franchise hints at Starfleet not being so virtuous, then has its characters drink the Kool-Aid anyway. DS9, PIC s1-2, PRO scratched the surface of stories about every day people, there's way more to tell

James Frain was perfect casting for Sarek.

spending my weekend here

we've lived in Portland for just over three years, the city's beautiful, the people are absurdly friendly, the worst that's happened to me is some cash got stolen out of my car... because I uh left the doors unlocked

was planning on going to the pumpkin patch today, will watch for land mines here in war torn Portland

love the Shenzhou

(2/2)

This model converted & re-textured by Passaro is believed to be from the original studio cgi model (1/2)

on a Discovery s1 rewatch, forgot how weird and cool the Bird of Prey redesign is

Star Trek was better with her as the face the of the franchise

"You is smart. You is kind. You is important."

funny how Yeoh's performance as *Captain* Georgiou in a handful of episodes made a bigger impact on me than a lot of characters who've stuck around a lot longer... I love this character. Emperor Georgiou? whole other conversation

hot Kelvin Timeline summer has come to an end over on the alt, going to tackle Disco next

this was never going to compare to TRON: Legacy but it's pretty good as its own thing. it's more of a companion to Reznor and Ross' The Social Network, which is a great soundtrack

*Kelvin* Timeline cleanse

thought season 3's ship shots were a big improvement after the often ruddy shots of the Enterprise in season 2. so there's that

pic of a door from Star Trek Beyond that I decided was too far in the weeds even for @startrekshots.bsky.social

of all the cool starship designs DISCO gave us, the Magee-class is my fave (don't talk to me about warp nacelles running through the saucer, it's fictional)

the Data-ass way my husband just called me a dummy: "you have a way of undermining all functionality"

SNW's multiple season obsession with this romance(?) is so bad... we know it goes nowhere and both of these characters (and actors) deserve way more interesting storylines

watched some Discovery s2 this weekend, still holds up for me as peak streaming Star Trek, big and dumb and emotional and so good
