lol I was gonna try and continue the joke but i went to look up the lyrics and this amused the shit out of me. It’s apparently more popularly known as “that song from star trek enterprise” than as a rod stewart song!

I drew the line at them dragging Porthos of all beings into it. Like they thought that would legitimize it.

Also it might be the only Trek show with 3-parters? I haven’t seen DISCO so someone feel free to correct if I’m wrong.

Look on the bright side, you didn’t have to watch the writers hand-wave away the entire series when it got cancelled.

I really enjoy season 4 (except These Are The Voyages… lets not talk about that.) but I think it’s definitely fair to say that the sheer adrenaline ride that was season 3 slows down a bit after the Xindi threat is resolved. You end up with a lot of these standalone arcs that, like you said, are focused on building connections with existing Trek (the augment trilogy leading into Affliction/Divergence is a good example) or arcs designed to set up the founding of the UFP. It’s clear that they were also leading into the Romulan war which was only ever mentioned in passing in TOS. In that context I think the slightly slower tempo season 4 would have made an excellent breather between the two.

lmfao right?

Clearly she just hadn’t had her coffee yet! On a serious note though I have to agree with @Corgana@startrek.website. The evolving definition of “medical death” as more of a logistical necessity than anything is something that I never really thought about before.

Janeway apologist! (/s)

Unironically this movie is in my top 5 favorite trek movies. It counts.

If you’re particularly lazy and want to check how a plant is doing you can even just microwave to activate it. put it in a glass cup with a damp paper towl under it, cover with a second damp paper towl, cover in plastic wrap except a small gap like you’re making a microwave dinner. Cook for a minute at a time on 20-30% power and let the steam release between cooks. Do that 2-3 times then remove nug from container and let it sit a few minutes on a plate or something.

The Orville got MUCH less satirical in season 2 and even more so in season 3. There are still jokes for sure but I would struggle to call any of it mean spirited. There’s even this old home video TOS skit that Seth MacFarlane and his friend’s did in high school. I assume Seth or someone let the writers off their leashes when they didn’t get sued by Paramount in Season 1.

Sorry to necro this but I just saw in the latest LTT vid that apparently Microsoft did go through with this plan? They were talking about it in the context of the diskless xbox that just released. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/how-to-transfer-content-licenses/7ac76f4e-c7e4-4153-8824-1e424478b02d

The green hand? That’s the hand of Apollo. The actual Greek god Apollo. TOS got weird lol.

That’s their goal. “You’ll own nothing and be happy.”

Having to fly under the radar or risk financial ruin doesn’t sound like ownership to me.

I went in to this show expecting not to like it, that it was just going to make fun of something I loved for mass market appeal. I’ve never been so happy to be so wrong. This whole show is a love letter to Trek. I’m sad that it’s leaving but also really glad that it ended up being worth watching.

Yeah that’s more comparable. I was mostly just trying to state the difference between ownership and a perpetual license but I’m thinking I oversimplified lol.
