grahamj@lemmy.cato Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Infinite Diversity In Infinite Combinations: Star Trek Was Woke From The BeginningEnglish3·2 years agoBecause it’s usually right wingers using it as a derogatory term against the socially conscious. Maybe not in this case.
grahamj@lemmy.cato Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•The fifth TNG movie that never wasEnglish6·2 years agoSame! I’ve always considered time travel to be a “plot cheat code” because it allows writers to do whatever they want. This works out ok sometimes but other times it just makes for bizarre stories that defy belief. This would definitely be the latter kind!
I enjoy ST largely because it’s believable (in a broad strokes ignore the details kind of way) so far-fetched stories don’t do it for me as much. Time travel is firmly in “never gonna happen” territory.

grahamj@lemmy.cato Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•The fifth TNG movie that never wasEnglish1·2 years agoIn some contexts this would be called a solution without a problem. I couldn’t agree more!

As a Canadian I’m always surprised when I see shows set here so I figured there must be some reason.

grahamj@lemmy.cato Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x02 "Ad Astra Per Aspera"3·2 years agoI enjoyed the episode but agree with most of your points, especially the flashbacks. If the events had happened earlier in the episode they might have been understandable but they had just happened! Spock’s little joke was pretty out of character as well.

grahamj@lemmy.cato Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x02 "Ad Astra Per Aspera"2·2 years agoI really like this Spock, don’t get me wrong, but I’m finding his increasing “humanness” a bit distracting. I mean, making a joke in court? That was a bit far-fetched.
Only if you rub it in with the Apple Seasoning Cloth.
