That kitty nuzzle tho… ❤️

I thought you were making a wooden Enterprise and this was the neck connecting to the secondary hull. My disappointment is immeasurable. 😆

Carla was the prom queen!

He’s gonna get a gob full of ketracel white, I’ll tell you what!

Oh yeah, my comments weren’t directed at you specifically, but at the general notion.

Sorry but this is silly. It’s like someone saying, “Well the bad guy in XYZ movie was a nazi which is problematic, therefore the movie is.” Like, what?

The presence of problematic ideas is not in itself an issue. In almost any instance that Fio is objectified it’s immediately shown that it’s a flawed perspective of the characters doing it, which goes for Gina too (though she’s a badass and knows how to use it to work the people dishing it out to her). The movie’s voice doesnt endorse any of it, and if anything rejects those things outright any time they’re brought up.

Is media literacy even a thing anymore?

I keep thinking that it would be hilarious if as a bit foreshadowing in one of the new episodes of Strange New Worlds while Sam and the others are in the lounge, one of the other characters comes up with a personal pan pizza from the bar and tosses it at him and says “Catch!

Omg, Erika Moen from Penny Arcade’s Strip Search? Wow, I haven’t thought about that in years! She was great!

It really was obnoxiously enjoyable

Was it though? I could see it if you changed the audio track to a language you don’t understand, because it does have a lot going for it; the production design and costumes, set design and construction are all outstanding, sound design is still some of the best there’s ever been (especially when it came to modernizing legacy sfx), obviously the vfx and novel approaches to cinematography (yes, including the lens flares) are all great, etc etc.

But literally every last thing about the story is stream of consciousness, fever dream nonsense, which in any other franchise might be forgiven, but for Star Trek of all things to have such boneheaded threads of anti-science magical thinking, noxious xenophobia and childish cruelty is unforgivable. It’s a top to bottom garbage script, ironically produced with one of the most talented film crews in sci-fi movie history, which for my money anyway, makes it even more tragic and hard to enjoy.

That was great! I thought I knew where it was going but it totally surprised both me and my wife and we were like, “Damn, that was pretty good!”

Very hyped for shore leave episode now, the crew has earned it!

Yeah it’s not terrible, I just wish you could send from them as well.

I’m a simple man. I see Rama, I upvote.
