Ooh yeah I’ve heard people speak highly of The Orville, and I keep forgetting to check it out! If I’m not mistaken, it’s got Penny Johnson (Kasidy Yates) in it, right?
don’t keep sweatin’ what I do 'cause I’m gonna be just fine

Ugh… I’ve been so reticent to watch modern Trek. I’ve heard such bad things about Discovery and have never been tempted to try it. But I really love the TNG era, so I gave in and watched Picard season 1…man, that was a mistake. Too modern, too snarky, too fucking meta. I swore off modern Trek. But then I read loads of threads saying that SNW was a return to form, and that it felt the most like Star Trek out of all the modern series. So even though I knew I might hate it, yesterday I watched the first three episodes. I’m already so annoyed with it. Super meta, the cast is for the most part way too young, and it’s loose or completely disregarding toward canon (yeah, Spock and T’Pring having sex without Pon Farr… give me a break!), and plotlines that make no sense at all. I’m so annoyed with it. I get that '80s/'90s TV was too earnest for today’s audiences, but SNW feels like a parody of Star Trek, not a worthy successor. So far, nothing feels like actual high stakes. There really isn’t serious drama that I actually care about. When shows are too snarky and meta, it makes it really hard for me to connect with them.
I do recognize that first seasons can be rocky, so I’ll at least stick with it through the end of the season. But I can’t lie, it’s off to a terrible start. I wish we could have shows more in keeping with the tone and themes of TNG and DS9 (or even Voyager!).
This looks really interesting!
You could mark one of the blades with red or blue paint so that you know you’re measuring the same one every time.
Do you not have a VPN?
Same for Baa Baa Black Sheep ;)
Oh man I miss Kools.
I wouldn’t say so - I can think of several counter examples off the top of my head: mold, wild, kiln
Yeah Lower Merion is rich. It’s where Kobe came from.
Same here. I’m from NJ.
Thank you, thank you, thank youuuu!! 🖖🏻
The Sound of Her Voice was heartbreaking!
God I wish I could’ve seen this!
Not always. On DS9, when the Defiant was departing the station, the heading was given as 180 mark zero - meaning, traveling exactly backward from their current position. This made sense because when docked, the Defiant’s nose is buried in the docking ring.
You can’t please everyone so you’ve got to please yourself
I like to overprepare - if I get tired of one thing I can switch to another.

The rhyme goes:
I see London
I see France
I see Clark Kent’s underpants
You can see his tighty whites in the image
Clark Kent is Superman’s alter ego. Superman has “super” vision, and mistakenly thought the other character did too.
