Okay. So. I have no idea what the fucking refresh rate on this gif is but it just managed to scare the hell out of me.

I had the image open in another tab and was staring for ages trying to see if something was hidden somewhere in the background. Nothing. Move on to another tab. Later I’m closing tabs and I get to that one and it’s just Wil staring into my fucking soul before sliding back down.

you go to hell OP.

I outright refuse the complaint about the ARGO. I have never understood people’s problems with it.

Also when it comes to the Remans, presumably. I’ll do some research and get back to you on that.

I am so white I sunburn at night so I’m definitely not Obama.

Definitely just a dude you’ve never heard of with way too much time and mental health issues on his hands.

Considering my failed attempts at learning their language, I feel it isn’t the first time.

You’ve been following this person for months while they talk about their gender

No. I haven’t. They were banned from this community 3 months ago and I forgot they exist until they commented above. I would like examples of me “following this person”. I am also not a moderator nor an admin. I had no hand in their banning.

However the blatant double account here is pretty intense. You created your account 42 minutes ago just to make this comment? Sure.

Edit: Out of curiosity I asked an admin from another instance to check if they were the same person. According to that magic 8-ball, “all signs point to yes.” What a huuuuuuge surprise. Oh noooooo.

Blocked and moving on with my life.

Schlocky action is a matter of opinion (one I vehemently disagree with) but the crew at each others throats thing is pure nonsense. That happened in the first two episodes. From then on there were occasional disagreements but that’s sort of expected. Constantly? That’s a lie.

They chose to start there. The classified tech was something from the beginning. Same with the tech on board being specific to the ship. In no way did they “write themselves into a corner”. Also Janeway is completely irrelevant but also she would have completely understood. This is the woman who destroyed the Caretaker array and has sacrified ways home in order to benefit the majority. Do you honestly think she would ever even bat an eye if she found out about that tech? She’d probably be interested because she’s a scientist but then completely understand why it was shelved.

Discovery also had hologram communication technology that I guess was also a secret?

No, it wasn’t secret but that also wasn’t invented by Discovery. It was invented by Voyager. Flashback. The episode where Tuvok goes back onboard the Excelsior and they start talking about holographic imagers. Those imagers were created specifically to take holographic image. You cannot take a holographic image without the ability to project a hologram. Moreover, Enterprise showed the crew interacting with holographic technology them. So if you want to complain about inconsistency of holograms in canon, you cannot point the finger so easily at Discovery.

If it was just one thing, okay, but there were such numerous inconsistencies, it was like the writers and designers did not care about trek, they were writing a sci-fi show with the trek name slapped on top.

This complaint gets trotted out constantly. It’s tired and old and frankly it’s dead. There are no violations of established canon in Star Trek Discovery, as much as everyone wants to say that it is. The only examples I’ve ever come across from people, and I use the word examples quite wrongly, are the DOTs, Burnham being Spocks sister, Holographic Tech, and the klingons looks.

It simply does not violate canon.

That’s fair. And It was. A lot of Cyberpunk and random comedy to distract myself. Was needed. Thank you <3

I have a book (thanks Paisley) that I’ve started to read thats about Ezri Dax and she’s growing on me.

Edit: It’s the Star Trek: Destiny Omnibus. I put my amazon wishlist on Mastodon like a moron but @StillPaisleyCat was kind enough to send it over. Seriously. Thank you.

Everything suddenly makes so much sense…

Yeah, my cat used to do this. Sort of. The center of the food would be eaten away but the sides perfectly fine. Showed her how to move the food and she did that until I got her a plate. Now? She just eats a little bit and moves it around and then screams at me. I put it back in the bowl and same thing.

It’s not her bowl. She just turned into a bitch.

You scared the shit out of me for a second. I thought I wrote that.

That feels like it’s both being too generous to TNG and too mean to minions

Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.

Agree about the visuals but honestly this is what I kinda meant when I said put all opinions aside. For once I’d like to just celebrate stuff that looks cool without it always coming back to bashing something.

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

Yes. This is also awesome. And fucking terrifying.

Stamets,

I mean that’s fine and all but it’s also not the question that was asked…

Stamets,

Bro my bones feel it already.

Well so far so good! Got another 1k or so in the bank and I mean that for every community. I… I have a lot of shit saved.
