I like Star Trek because of the hopeful future it depicts, the exploration I would love to experience, and the well developed characters.

Episodes are varied, one episode might focus on a side character’s love life, where another might be a battle against a superior foe that feels like a Das Boot adaptaion.

I recommend Strange New Worlds, it’s a return to episodic storytelling, it’s got great visuals, great actors, and the weakest episode is better than The Next Generation’s average episode.

I recently introduced a friend to Star Trek with SNW without explaining anything and it did a great job of introducing the setting and itself

That’s why I recommend SNW over TNG for newcomers

Much like Yu-Gi-Oh! And Cartoon Network Batman, “Can’t Kill Anybody” just invites much worse possibilities

Not OP but I loved Visions, not worrying about canon really freed them up to tell good stories

Remember when he tried to warn one of the future cadets? He nearly had time traveling Klingon monk assassins come after him

The translator also emits an interference pattern that cancels out the original speech to the listener

I don’t know if it’s worth the drive space

Don’t take what the other person said seriously, they were making a shitty joke about the Catholic Church, not being informative

In healthy relationships, it’s about the power dynamic of one partner being in charge of the others’s pleasure

The Um, Actually was because they were asking an honest question and seemed to interpret your joke as a serious answer

I agree, earlier seasons had the right balance

I like how Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Tang are pretending just a collar counts as a uniform

Just because The Boys is gory and pessimistic doesn’t mean it’s realistic

If I can’t truly know how I’d behave, then this discussion is pointless.

I claim that you don’t know how you’d truly behave, and that people are generally decent and wouldn’t harm others if there were no consequences

One of my cats goes through the hairball motions occasionally, but I think he catches the hairball in his mouth and swallows it again because I never see the result

The recommendation to cook dressing instead of stuffing for food safety reasons is only for the wackos that add sausage
