Could someone please explain to my cats why the switch to Standard Time does not make me late getting their breakfast ready? ๐Ÿ™€

* I know you did a video but didn't want to exclude you. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ––
There are several "size doesn't matter" jokes here but I'm just going to say I'm glad SNW didn't keep the Enterprise uniforms free Discovery. That collar was horrible! ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ––
So apologies for a long rant. There were things I liked. Honest! (Lorca, a villain that could have been on a Ducat level, for example). But once through plus a re-watch of seasons 1 - 4 was enough for me.

And I'll point out that I love Picard, SNW, and Lower Decks. I'm not a "new Trek hater." ๐Ÿ––
6/6
Other Star Trek shows had "we have to..." or "the crew is facing." It's often joked that Worf got his suggestions shot down on the Enterprise, but Burnham shot down *everyone's* suggestions nearly all the time (her plan was always "the only way" - if you heard her whisper it to you).
5/6
out of their depth as a galley or longship crew would be on a nuclear aircraft carrier.

Its biggest failing was its focus on a single character who really wasn't that interesting. I especially lost interest in the 4th season when the log entry was "*I* have to solve it" (the 10-C's language).
4/6
As an example, aside from programmable matter, 32nd Century tech wasn't much different from 23rd Century tech. Sure the phasers materialized in your hand, but they were no more powerful than 23rd Century phasers. I'd expect a crew travelling 800 years in the future to be as
3/6
Its lack of character development was appalling. I re-watched seasons 1 - 4 before 5. It was actually painful. I still can't name most of the characters from the show, which I blame on not getting to know them. I also thought they just didn't think things through.
2/6
I didn't hate it. I thought it was poorly written - lazy & immature with an awful lot of missed opportunities for great stories. Instead of generating real audience emotion through the story, Discovery instructed us "this is how you are to feel now." And the story hadn't earned it.
1/6
Aha! The truth comes out. Now we know who to blame for Five! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ––
If you meant a DM is okay, Iโ€™d need you to start it as I canโ€™t message you. But if you meant otherwise, thatโ€™s totally okay too! โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ––
Wasn't this also the uniform when you were born? There was some overlap there for awhile ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ––
You do such great work. I need a bigger budget!

And more walls! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ––
I'd like to share the details with you. I think you'd get it. I'm just not ready for any public announcements yet. I'm open to a DM if that's ok. โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ––
Just a nice quiet day trying to stay dry and warm. Working on a little project* that you just unknowingly helped me with! ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ––

Same here, Neil! No queue or anything - in and out in about 30 seconds. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช
Excellent job (especially on this one, Seรกn!). I still donโ€™t know why Yeoman Smith didnโ€™t stick around. She had presence and the kind of bridge energy that made the camera linger. Maybe that was too much for 60s Starfleet to handle! She should have been a regular; one episode was not enough! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ––
What's it like inside your head?
Ditto on having the same issue. Can't say I share the same blame though. Maybe it's long-term TV exposure that trained my brain to require visual as well as audio to pay attention. ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ––
Truly excellent shots, Ellie! Perfect away mission on a windy planet. I just hope stealth wasn't required because you're certainly going to turn heads and attract attention!
(ps - you look like you were having a great time in all the shots. "The camera loves you! Yeah baby yeah!") ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ––
Any chance of offering more colour options? The Ups & Downs shirt would look fantastic in navy blue! (I donโ€™t wear black, but do love blue. If available in blue, Iโ€™d have your replicators whirring away fabricating me some!) ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ––
