Doug,

That seems troublesome

Doug,

Kaylee might could run circles around most Starfleet engineers, LaForge included, but I bet she’d make B’Elanna uncomfortable with the way she hacked things together to make it work

Doug,

In weird things I don’t need to remember but do the patch notes for that included a change to the self destruct mechanism regarding whether it was only a bluff tactic or you could actually self destruct.

To make things more odd I can’t recall which way the change was. I think it was to actually be able to self destruct.

Doug,

Probably because you were in the wrong franchise not to mention the wrong ship

Doug,

We don’t have an Isekai genre. We have an Other World subgenre of fantasy that Japan made another name for and weebs apply to everything similar.

Doug,

They do and I’d love to have a better method available to us.

However the meme is a little off.

One party doesn’t give a fuck about you, the other actively wishes you harm and works to that end.

They’re not “my team” but they’re well past “the lesser of two evils” given the other one.

Doug,

It may seem like it, but August 2022 wasn’t three years ago.

Even if it was that doesn’t really seem so disqualifying after we’ve just had a new season of Futurama and anticipate a new season of King of the Hill.

Orville may not have the financial draw, but I bet Seth had more fun with that than any of the animated stuff.

Doug,

Yesterday the thing you love was the crappy new thing and lots of vocal assholes hated it.

Today you can choose to be the vocal asshole or just enjoy the thing you enjoy, no false praise needed.

Tomorrow the crappy new thing will be fondly remembered and the vocal assholes of today will seem foolish and, in part, pretend they never hated today’s thing.

This is true across various properties. The fact that you think “we don’t want to hear your constant whining” equates to “you have to praise the thing I like even if you don’t like it” really says something.

Doug,

Will you let that be your final battleground?

Doug,

I think Beyond was my least favorite of the newer ones personally, but I’d still put it above the last time I watched Motion Picture so it seems silly to me to trash those while elevating all the old ones.

Star Trek is a universe of things between campy and serious. It’s possible enjoy them all, or ignore the ones to don’t.

Doug,

I’ve seen some positive talk about TMP recently for one.

Aside from that it’s easy to find people falling in to the “the new stuff sucks. The old stuff is way better” about pretty much anything Trek or not.

Even your list doesn’t fit with the old adage of the evens being good and the odds being crap.

Doug,

Little bothered that Tim Russ said “bias” instead of “biased”
