I feel like LCARS would work here. I can picture it in my mind but I have no aptitude with graphics programs.

Reminds me of the original series, cancelled right before they started tracking demographics, only to realize it was hitting all the right buttons and they’d killed the golden goose.
Lemmy.ca has it. It used to be called wefwef.
Is there an LCARS theme for Lemmy? I saw another instance running the Voyager theme and it got me thinking…
Gotta ask. I have this same account name on lemmy.world and on startrek.website. Will that be a problem? I’ve just been logging into both, the startrek.website posts seem to take a long time to get to lemmy.world, so I just log in here if I want to read this stuff.
I feel like Paramount always saw Voyager as a family show. That’s why they were so irked when they wanted to make it darker.
I thought the Miradorn were interesting. The twin bond that they have seems to suggest they have some kind of mental abilities, some way to connect the two people. They were listed as ‘quarrelsome’, could be an interesting mirror for the Tellarites, coming from a non-Federation species. They sided with the Dominion in the war, too, so they don’t seem to think much of the Federation. Could make for an interesting antagonist.
edit: Thought about this some more. What if the twinned Miradorn didn’t refer to brothers from the same mother? Perhaps their whole society consists of twinned people. Perhaps they have some sort of process where they bond two of their people together, for life, and that’s how they run their world. Think of how dangerous an adversary that would make, there’s always two of them. Even better if they have some sort of 2 person hive mind between them, so that they can work together seamlessly, even at a distance. Like some kind of organic grassroots Borg.
I feel like they would have done so much better if they just played Netflix and Amazon off each other to pay for the content, and never spent a cent on the albatross Plus has become.
They think that whole “home of Star Trek” was marketing fluff, but I took it as a promise.
Must have happened real recently, I was watching DS9 on Netflix in Canada in April.
Sounds good to me, I’ll wait till you guys get it sorted out. Thanks a lot for doing this!
Is it still on Netflix? I lost access when they stopped password sharing but last I checked they had everything before Discovery.
Not unfair. I guess I do dare. Fortune favors the bold. ;)
I’m just saying, I feel like the fact that that visceral reaction even happened is a testament to how talented the people who make Star Trek are. If they weren’t Omega level talented, they wouldn’t have provoked that strong reaction, they might not have provoked a reaction at all.
I dunno about that. I thought The Wolf Inside was a peak episode, and it was in season 1. It doesn’t really require a lot of time, they pulled that together in what, a year from when they first got the team together? These are frigging talented people. The Harry Mudd episode was peak, too. That’s two in the first year, starting from nothing.
She grew against her own will. Not uncommon but very difficult to portray. And it never would have worked if Nana Visitor hadn’t had the chops to pull it off, and the writers had the writing talent to write it. We really lucked out with DS9, they hit it out of the park so many times and in so many different ways, week after week for years.
Then Frank freaking Langella pops up, parts way through the same unbelievable episode, to chew the scenery like a boss. And, in an absolute power move, he drops that shit and goes completely uncredited and unpaid for doing it. He says he did it for his kids, I think he did it because he’s just that talented, and humility can be a boss move when you’re that good.
Episodes like this one are why it is so painful when Star Trek puts out a weaker episode. They are clearly capable of soooooo much, so much so that when they are humans and are imperfect, like every human everywhere is from time to time, it really stings.
