candyspider-deactivated20230731 : candyspider-deactivated20230731 : “i cant watch shows about fantasy kingdoms without thinking about how they should be abolishing the monarchy” that my friend sounds like a skill issue if im watching the lord of the rings extended edition i am a monarchist for 682 minutes In general this is true, but if, like me, you spend House of the Dragon thinking…
benevolenterrancy : okay, this post succeeded in making me read Shards of Honor and yeah, alright, it fucking slaps. this part made me laugh, pregnancy through moral obligation and signing the wrong delivery form Keep reading
antimatterpod : 239. Dude Where’s My Shuttle (SNW 4.03) – Antimatter Pod Anika and Liz hang out with a cactus. Is it a tribute to the Doctor Who serial “Meglos”? No, we’re talking about episode 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ‘ fourth season, “Human Best Friend”! Strange New Worlds has become a show dedicated to pastiches of better media How many episodes inspired by Star Trek Las Vegas are too…
sophiaforevs : lizardsfromspace : Also talk of What Needs To Be Done To Save Star Trek used to say we just needed to adopt lower budgets to force creativity (a fair enough position) and now has evolved to people continually asserting that TOS, TNG, and DS9 were made on “no budget”. Just seeing people confidently say TNG was a low-budget show made by theater kids when they weren’t…
respocked : star trek loves having characters get cold feet before their weddings/ponder a break-up but they never get a good enough job of convincing me back again that the characters should actually be together. every single couple who doubted their relationship was lowkey right. miles and keiko. b'elanna and tom paris. jadzia and worf. guys i’m bored let’s have a stay apart saturday…
ussjellyfish : codenamecarrotcake : Given that Amanda Grayson and Pelia were friends (and ignoring the wall of heroes) what are the odds that when Discovery showed up in the 32nd century, Pelia came up to Michael and just declared that she was her auntie? this is amazing and I want it. The wall of heroes includes Paul Stamets, who is alive and well and serving on the Discovery, so I am extremely…
jeffa–cakes : type 3 is spock fumbling another baddie
respocked : “The second-season two-parter called ‘The Maquis’ is very much based on situations that are going on in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in the Mideast. And we have managed to find a way to put it in Cardassian/Federation terms so that it becomes a story we can tell. It seems like it’s perfectly part of the STAR TREK universe. It doesn’t preach and it doesn’t say anything…
antimatterpod : 238. Evil Genes (SNW 402) – Antimatter Pod Anika and Liz beam over to a long-abandoned and extremely haunted space ship. And instead of talking about what we experienced over there in the shadows, we’re going to discuss episode 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ‘ fourth season, “The Griffin Institute”. This episode is a huge step up from the premiere! And also still super-duper…
I got hurt/no comfort... which ao3 tag are you? : unamccormack : unamccormack : Fair Did you mean “everything I’ve written since April 2019”?
psychecreations : The people here still need your protection. You’re an Airbender… but you’re also the Avatar.
frogayyyy : frogayyyy : Spin this wheel twice… These are your new roommates at Starfleet Academy! How do you feel about this? AMAZING!!!! This is the best case scenario Great! I like both of these people Good. Eh… Could be better, but it could be worse Bad. I’m not going to enjoy this year TERRIBLE. Someone will end up dead I’m dropping out other/nuance/secret whatever…
pixiedane : antimatterpod : 237. A Forehead Situation (SNW 4.01) – Antimatter Pod The Enterprise goes back in time and doesn’t prevent a genocide, but Anika and Liz would like to go back in time to prevent this episode from ever being made. Oh, did the fourth season premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds displease us? It sure did! “Don’t overthink it!” This episode provides more evidence for…
antimatterpod : Our video editor called this file “Antimatter Pod Roasts Captain Pike For Two And A Half Minutes.mov”, and it has made some men on TikTok rather cross. In general, I try not to be a hater … but sometimes your video editor listens to a whole season and detects a subtle recurring theme.
sophiaforevs : Spoilers for my thoughts on the S4 premiere of SNW under the cut: Keep reading Agreed on all counts, and I hate that La'an is basically now the cop who bursts into your house and shoots the family dog. She was my favourite character in season 1 and 2, and every single narrative choice in seasons 3 and 4 makes me like her less.
sixth-light : Do you know what an iced chocolate is? Yes and I’ve had one Yes but I’ve never had one No but I have a confident guess (in tags please) No and I have no idea Clicky button See Results A friend was describing introducing cafe workers in the UK to the concept of the iced chocolate and then I found out Wikipedia doesn’t know what they are and then I thought: is this another lemon lime…
clementine-kesh : *producer about to make one of the worst seasons of television ever put to screen* surely writing purely in reaction to what the fans are saying on twitter will work out great for us this time
unamccormack : galileoace : unamccormack : Haven’t seen this in so long and it’s great. Sam Neill the only human surrounded by muppets. You calling Australians Muppets? I wouldn’t dare! The Dish is a truly lovely film and everyone should watch it, but ALSO I need my fellow Australians to see this cover.
