Rewatching Dark for the first time since it came out and it’s fucked when you start figuring out how many people are their own fucking ancestor

Currently on my first watch of DS9. After two seasons of what felt like Cheers in Space, it finally feels like we’re getting somewhere

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

The rebuttal to this is that Star Trek is not a show about how the future could be but how the present should be. To eradicate disability, rather than accept and accommodate it, is a eugenicist ideal.

Crazy to find out that these three amazing albums were recorded at the same time in the same studios 😵

That was a stellar episode of #StarfleetAcademy! Easily the best so far. Glad we got to explore one of the most intriguing characters

That’s some marketing email

Literally all the worst people you can think of seem to be in those files. If we could bring them all down in one fell swoop… what a world it could be
Ooft, that is…potentially quite damning
Oh they're pals

Potentially unpopular #Gundam opinion: I’m here for the story of Hathaway but low key dislike the animation style and mecha designs

This hadn’t occurred to me and now I’m just mad

Amazon could have made so many new episodes of Neighbours with the budget they blew on this.

Ruth Lorenzo off of X Factor and Eurovision has a new old school rock album Blacksheep and it’s pretty bangin!

Trekbros don’t like NuTrek because there’s no creepy incel character for them to identify with

Jujutsu Kaisen just spent a whole episode explaining the rules of a game 😑

Almost a year ago a friend took his own life. He was such a Trekky that he had the TNG theme at his funeral. He would have loved hearing about my first time experiencing these episodes. I think of him pretty much whenever I watch classic Trek
Same goes for Garak. Showed more emotion in one scene than Sisko has in two seasons
