I always laugh when you point out inconsistencies with your direct writing style.

Whenever Culber is on screen I turn to my partner and say he’s died. More often than not it comes up.

You honestly just know when it’s a Frakes directed episode. Things just feel quality.

Is this to give context on all the things in the episode? My girlfriend would love it if I could talk about all that random stuff here instead of pausing the episode to tell her. Please save my relationship haha.

From what I hear he is a super great guy so I do wish him all the best.

He’s now going to be a Nintendo Ambassador or something. I wonder if this is just to change the voice of Mario while also effectively retiring him from voice acting so they don’t have Mario voicing Bayonetta in the next game or something.

Honestly from what we know of the Soong’s they probably almost never get laid so they 100% would try to make their androids studs in the bedroom.

Hey Naked Now has Data laying android pipe and therefore is fully functional in terms of canon.

Sweet thanks for clearing that up. I really need to rewatch all of the movies again. I really appreciate that the writers of SNW seem to be trekkie enough to catch these things.

Fantastic episode! Loved it from cover to cover. I like how we have Spock reverting back to being classic Spock in a musical episode. Arguably it makes this episode one of the most important episodes to canon. Also did Kirk know about Marcus beforehand? I swear he learned about him in Wrath of Kahn but I haven’t seen that film in forever.

I go back and forth between playing a lot of handheld and very little handheld. Honestly the screen doesn’t bother me. I’ve had no issues with Nintendo games. I would argue the biggest issue in modern day gaming is the bloody text size of things. I’m trying to play FFXV right now on ps4 and the text is soooo bloody small.

While I do agree that TOS looked dated even when I was a kid I don’t know if we should redo TOS just for updating it’s sake. I don’t remember how far into the 5 year mission TOS starts but I would be happy to get episodes before or after it. My main point is that I think society is at a different place and our science fiction should represent that. I think some of the great TOS episodes hit so hard because we understand our society having that problem and it gives us solutions to our own struggles. While many of the social issues of the late 60’s are still prevalent and it seems like American (I’m not American) is backsliding on a lot of things such as Women’s Rights I would still like these issues looked at from where we are today and not where we were in the 60’s.

TL:DR Science fiction is an abstraction of our society and I want our Sci-fi to abstract 20XX and not 1960’s.

Does anyone know if these are new Hemmer shots and if the Hemmet actor was also the zombie?

Hahaha actually very close.

I haven’t watched this week’s episode yet. I was watching last week and something just always gives me a slight off feeling about SNW’s Kirk. I think the actor is doing an amazing job and everything but I couldn’t put my finger on it until I realized he’s 2023 attractive. Shatner had the big barrel chest, and the sort of swagger that’s of the era. The new actor fights in with our modern time period in a way Shatner never could and I think that’s why I find it off.
