I found four and a half vulcans the weakest episode in my opinion, but a friend of mine loved the episode. My biggest problem with the episode, other than why was it really necessary, was actually pointed out by Kirk in the episode. They didn’t actually even act like Vulcans they were just dicks, Pike especially was uncharacteristically rude and would have never treated anyone the way he treated Spock in the episode.

Most of the season scored between 5-7/10 for me. Terrarium was an 8.5, Vulcans was a 4, This is Starfleet was a 3, but if it was filmed differently could have been so much better. I really this that This is Starfleet had one of the better stories and checks a lot of “Classic Trek” boxes for me.

I mean… There was at least 2 years between season 2 & 3.

Yeah. I do think they did a great job btw. This season was such a ride and I can’t wait for season 4. I just meant that with so few episodes you really feel when one doesn’t hit right.

This is the problem with modern TV shows. We only have 10 episode seasons now vs the 20+ long ones from the TNG era. If these were all episodes in a season that lasted 20 episodes I doubt we would be seeing as many complaints, but as it is 10 episodes does not leave much room for any change of pace mid season. This season, while in my opinion was quite well written, was a little all over the place and didn’t really seem to have a lot of direction. It really bounced around a lot, which wouldn’t be a problem as much if there was 20 episodes to work with, but when you only have 10 its hard to justify some of the “fun” or experimental episodes.

As an aside. My least favourite episode “This is Starfleet” was also my favourite story in the season and if it was shot as a normal episode I think would have probably be my favourite of the series so far. It really captured the “Classic Trek” vibe for me.

I kinda started a “seedbox” for at least my niche torrents. Most of the mainstream things I download I don’t normally leave to seed that long as there’s already plenty seeding, but a lot of the documentaries or other things that only have single or double digits seeding I’ll make a copy and leave it to seed for a while. I used to host my Plex server from that PC and when I build my new dedicated server I left the storage intact, but transferred my whole library over, so I have a large amount of unused space doing nothing else.

I’m also fairly new to all this. I’m now using Jellyfin for selfhosting. What’s the benefit of enencoding everything?

I feel like this could have been a great episode, if it wasn’t a documentary and was just written as a normal episode. Most of the quirks of the documentary really distracted me and I felt like they got in the way a bit.

I really like this slightly more chill La’an. John de Lancie was not expected. So If Trelane is now implied to be Q jr, is this episode supposed to take place before we see him in Voyagers Q2? He does come off as more of an immature teen in voyager, whereas in this and in TOS he’s quite more childish, especially when he’s challenged in both Trelane episodes.

I do look forward to seeing Erika do more than just “Fly the ship,” but I really wish it was literally anything other than the exact same thin La’an has been dealing with. She’s talked about being on the Klingon front a lot, why not tie it into that. I do like seeing a slightly more chill La’an and really think her and Spock pair together well as friends, but I do hope they don’t throw in more romance at spock with her.

Maybe we could get Captain Una? New ship and she could take the crew that we don’t see in TOS with her. Possibly have Kirk and crew crossovers.

I switched over about 2 months ago after I couldn’t get an older game to play after a windows update and kinda just rage quit Windows. It was building for a while, but in the end it was just a little thing that brought it tumbling down. Game worked perfectly fine with proton without any problems or tinkering. I’ve only had trouble getting a couple games working, and neither are big deal breakers.

Yeah. I bought it at least 5 years ago as well for fairly cheap. I ended switching a few years ago because I had problems with my IP leaking, customer service wouldn’t back to me, and I noticed the canary page went blank, so I assumed that something happened to them.
