also has no effect on me. part of an unbreaking stretch of trek telivision that started in 1987.

good try tho

HA! you got the wrong blog for that I’ve never played a single Pokemon Game* in my life and I was already an adult then!

I DENY THEE, SIR!

It is what it is. held together by duct tape and threadbare storytelling and one last hallway shootout.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug and it couldn’t really save this one.

As it stands, ignoring the novels retcon, does it outperform “These are the Voyages”, which also used some Enterprise-D flashbacks in it?

Oh I thought my answer was gonna be yes but I’m just…..

maybe by a nose, its better than that. This season was a mess again that didn’t really know what it wanted, invested heavily in tropes and wanted a shootout a minute from the looks of it. All those scenes on M'Talas Prime, wasted potential of the Changelings (oh we fixed that. we got the transporters fixed), the omission of Laris in the finale when they made sure to put her in the season premiere.

Not to mention the Borg, oh the Borg. one transwarp hub down out of six and one dead queen is all it takes apparently.

In a way the closing scene of this season’s Mandalorian and Picard reflect a poor attempt to reach an endgoal by some of the worst possible means. Those closing scenes are good but unearned.

And, this goes back to TNG-era Trek, Star Trek can’t envision civilian life in these models. Everyone has to join Starfleet, we cant have any main civilian characters.

After listening too to Matalas on Gates’ pod I have a feeling that we’re trapped in another cycle of trying to Star-Wars-ify Trek, and the Trench run sorta reinforced that.

I think that’s all I got tonight.

I watched INN, the quality truly does vary from episode to episode.

Dana Delaney ah. ah classic pic from an otherwise forgettable film.

It does seem to be where they’re pointing towards but I really hope they just want to make the Lemur that he was devolving into (excuse me, de-evolving) and were denied in “Genesis”

There were some too cute details here and there from what I remember that while interesting occasionally stretched credulity. and I loved the post Romulan-War Enterprise novels they had the perfect ending there and then just…..eh let’s bring Trip out of retirement again lol.

A couple of those details to give examples, 1 was borne out of necessity: Earth’s Starfleet did have a fleet of Daedalus class starships, turns out that model predated the war and were considered outdated by the time the war started. Not something that really matched with the show but also the way there really isn’t much of a fleet and Starfleet only came into being in the previous decade was also something that made me go eeeehhhh.

One that was too cute for its own good was Starfleet test modding a new bridge design, boxy, clunky, to prevent Romulan ships from taking over to them, with I believe a famous Vulcan grandpa present. The implication was this was why the TOS bridge design was the way it was, why it looked retro to modern eyes, came from the Romulan war. (Its an interesting concept but, at the time, felt it was present clumsily)

anyway, those are more minor quibbles of very enjoyable series of books I’ve read over a decade now.

I need lumber….

it’s gonna squelch. it’s gonna squish. it’s gonna be gooey.

it’s gonna be beautiful.

I doubt it, but it could happen I suppose. The Great Link made Odo human once so they could do it again for reproductive purposes. But I doubt it.

That is an adult bird of prey, fully mature, great wingspan. K'Vort Class. Could not fit under the golden gate bridge.

(yes I’m still thinking about the fleet museum bird of prey. that is the wrong size they got there)
