I don’t think we’ve let user apps get any older than 24 or so hours, but we are just people! If someone slipped through the cracks and had to wait longer, I’m sorry.
I love musicals and I love Trek so I was hoping I would love this episode, but I just didn’t, and I think it was mostly because the music was… bad? It wasn’t catchy, it wasn’t fun, there was not one single legitimate bop during the whole episode. Uhura’s last line about an earworm struck me as a sour note because… no. Not a single earworm to be had in the whole thing. I couldn’t hum a single song from that episode and I watched it less than an hour ago. The only number that had any spark to it at all was Chapel’s number at the lounge, and it was barely a spark.
Even Una’s alleged Gilbert and Sullivan riff was barely, barely recognizable as a take on G&S. It was to G&S as a brick spraypainted orange is to a glass of refreshing orange juice. You’re gonna do G&S in a musical episode and not do patter? Come on, son.
I just can’t get behind this episode, and I was truly prepared to be thrilled. I mean the cast tried hard, but in a musical the music has to be good, and this wasn’t.
Welcome to Lemmy.
nope, which means there is no threshhold.
The Defiant is an interesting middle ground, basically a corvette type of thing, and it’s only practical because it has a cloak and it’s (for the ST universe) grotesquely overpowered and overgunned. Well it’s only practical because the writers wanted it to be, but that’s the in-universe explanation.
ST doesn’t have carriers because fighters are uncommon and bombers are unheard of, for a variety of good reasons. There are a few exceptions, like Jem’hadar “fighters” (which are basically equivalent to a smaller Bird of Prey in terms of crew and armament, but actually seem to serve as troop transports?), runabouts, or the Delta Flyer. That size of ship is also roughly equivalent to the Jedi ships, both in terms of travel range and capacity for violence.
I still can’t decide whether or not I like or dislike that design.
That comes later. It’s a lot easier to run a query on 0 posts than more complicated criteria.
I screamed when he appeared on screen. It scared my dog.
Everything.
It’s 2023. Women are allowed to wear pants if they want to.
This is inaccurate. It did not say “childlike” at the time that Ada complained. After we got defederated, I asked a new mod of that community to update the sidebar because it was very light on rules, purpose, etc. and I thought that maybe our conflict with blahaj could have been avoided if the sidebar was more explicit about what the community was about. As part of his revision, on his first pass he copied and pasted a dictionary definition of “adorable” which included the word “childlike”, then went back and re-edited it to remove that word on a later editing pass. I want to say it was in there for about two hours? During that time, a couple of people spotted it and made some unwarranted assumptions.
I’ll take “discussions I won’t get into with a transwoman unless I know her incredibly well and probably not even then” for $1000, Alex.
I mean, this is my main account.
🤷♂️
I explicitly denied that several times, as you can see.
To be clear, Ada has her own imperatives and her own community, and I’m not here to judge how she runs her instance. lemmy.blahaj.zone means a lot to a lot of people, and as a queer weirdo myself I appreciate that a place like it exists on the lemmyverse.
If we’re talking about the same person, there was one multi-image post that was unquestionably over the line and one or two more that were (IMO) borderline. Given the context provided by the one post we chose not to give the benefit of any doubt.
