I grabbed someone else’s edit. I assume it’s just a “do not disturb” sign.

It is top of my list of wanted features.

That one may have been the inspiration for this one, if I’m being perfectly transparent.

Four times watching the entire series?

Allamaraine, count four more!

Why would Starfleet be so fundamentally uninterested in learning about an enitity literally birthed by one of their Starships?

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

Because I’m not willing to pay for upvotes.

Check his posting behavior. Dude actively insults people he’s talking to at every chance he gets, acts like he’s in total control of what Risa should be, and generally doesn’t seem like a nice person to be around.

Oh, Pumpkin, I’m a fuckin’ delight.

Combine that with the private messages I’ve gotten from him

You mean when you provoke someone into an argument in the comments, and then report them because they don’t immediately acquiesce, so I sent you a message to knock it off? If it had been anyone else other than the most prolific poster, I would have happily given you a time out.

Now you know why I sprinted from this instance and this community.

And yet here you are, stirring the pot on a post more than a week old. Did you run out of other people’s memes to post?

“Nemesis” was never meant to be a send off, though. It’s not great by any measure, but I still think it was more entertaining than season three of PIC despite all that.

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

Nah, seasons one and two were at least trying something, to varying degrees of success. All season three attempted was cramming its plot so full of nostalgia bait, the audience wouldn’t see just how rotten it was at the core.

They actually hired people to come in and paint on a recreation of the specific wood grain on the arch behind the captain’s chair.

Imagine if that amount of care and effort was put into making a story suited to those characters?

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

Shut the fuck up and get out.

This is not your place to tell people to fuck off out of Risa. If you see something bigoted, you know where the report button is. Throwing a tantrum does no one any favours.

This is my biggest problem with the left.

Clown behaviour. Take a week off.

@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

Did you go browsing through someone’s post history elsewhere on Lemmy to try and dunk, then report them when they argued with you? Absolutely pathetic. Have threes days off to touch grass.

Clown behaviour. Have a week off, champ.

But it’s not a trail of spores going through space, and nothing in the show would lead someone who’d been paying the slightest amount of attention to think that’s the case.

The mycelial network is a layer of subspace, which the spore drive allows them to access because the specific fungus they cultivate exists partially in subspace. Stamets makes that clear in “Choose Your Pain”.

Subspace is entirely made up facilitate the stories that Trek tells. It was first mentioned in “Mudd’s Women”, the fourth episode of TOS to be produced. It has since served as a means of instantaneous communication across lightyears, as well as long range imaging vis subspace telescope, such as in “The Nth Degree”. The sensors aboard the ships also operate via subspace, allowing them to detect things lightyears away, and detect things ahead of them while travelling faster than light.

And we learned in the TNG episode “Schisms” that subspace can support life, and even has beings living there. Or at least some aspects of subspace do.

The spore drive in based on the real science of mycology, and extrapolated through a Trek lens. Nothing about it requires any sort of special property that has not already been established as existing within older episodes of Trek.

The only one insulting your intelligence is yourself by believing you’re not creative enough to figure out how the spore drive fits into the larger world of Trek.

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

Fuckin’ jeepers, this is grasping at straws.

There’s no “lore” regarding the spore drive or the uniforms, so nothing to disregard.

What specific lore about the Klingons was abandoned by Disco. Just one specific thing. Any single, specific thing.

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

Lorca’s not the only one who uses it in Disco, though. It actually happens relatively frequently in the first two season. Obviously for seasons three and four things have changed and it’s no longer an issue.

Hell, in SNW while Kirk is on the Enterprise in “Subspace Rhapsody” he prepares some samples collected outside the ship to be beamed to engineering and thinks nothing of that instance of intra-ship beaming. I guess he forgot that whole event where people broke out into song by the time he was mid-way through his own five year mission.

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

You’d be probably better off posting this to the Star Trek discussion community as opposed to the memes and shitposts one.

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

That bit of lore is completely silly. Humans share a common ancestor with bananas if we go back far enough, and “The Chase” proposes to go back even further than that. Still a good episode, though.

However, nothing in Disco’s Klingon’s undoes that. We saw Klingon precursors when Worf was devolved into one in “Genesis” – another episode that has a Hollywood writer’s understanding of evolution – and he had an exoskeleton, mandibles, and spit acid.

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

You’re correct. Have a time out.

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

Why do you feel like an expectation of a minimal level of respect for other people is a threat?

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

I mean you can choose to respect people’s pronouns or you can choose to no longer be a member of this community. What is unclear?
