Star Trek

Just in case you didn't know ... she's on mastodon, has probably been here longer than you, and is active (she once actually replied to me!!!!!).

What's the opinion on his character these days? I know he has a reputation of being very disliked.

In S1E14, at the beginning Riker is walking along side Yarr and Worf who are departing to play a game when Riker says “The pride of the Enterprise goes with you!” and the. Gives a reverse 🖖 hand signal. Anyone know what it means?

I’ve been watching TNG for the first time and so far season 1 has been hit or miss. Ether a episode will be really good or really bad. So far I think episode 23 is a really good episode! I hope that Tasha isn’t actually dead. I liked her and thought she was a gorgeous woman! This is the one and only time I will ever want spoilers but is she fully dead or does she return?

I know it's been done to death all over the internet but not here yet!

If you could choose any actor or actress to be in Star Trek who would you choose?

I recently saw that Nic Cage said he was a Trekkie and I'd absolutely love it if he played an insane alien villain of some sort for an episode or two. Get him in star trek legacy as a crazy ferenghi or something.

I watched a review of the TNG episode "Thine Own Self" a while ago where it was mentioned that Picard doesn't appear until the very end after Data gets back to the Enterprise, after all the scenes of Crusher having the bridge and Riker observing Troi taking the test to becoming a commander. They suggested that Patrick Stewart may not have been around for most of the filming but they needed him to appear at least a bit in the episode because it was in the contract.

Is this a common thing? Yesterday I was watching DS9's "Paradise Lost" and couldn't help but notice that Bashir only has like 3 lines on the Defiant and could easily have not been there. But Quark doesn't appear in the episode at all.

But if Armin Shimerman didn't need to be in every episode they could easily have cut him from the episode "Duet" because the only line Quark has is him wondering whether Bajoran survivors of a labour camp like to gamble.

Maybe I'm just thinking too hard about what happens behind the scenes instead of just enjoying the show.

I posted this on r/startrek yesterday, but I've moved to Lemmy now.

Comet TV is showing the first four Star Trek films, and "The Captains Close Up" this weekend.

Comet TV is an American digital broadcast television network. I get it over the air in my area. The channel can also be viewed online at the Comet TV web site.

Shall we embrace cross posting?

Shall we have links in our bios if we have accounts on both? Is anyone here actively using both at the same time? How's it going?

Any advocacy on the sub-reddits by cross posting lemmy threads/comments and maybe doing more?

Or we just ignore each other?

So cool. /r/StarTrek has moved to StarTrek.website

You can follow them from Mastodon with this handle @startrek

Who is inspired to make an LCARS theme for this sub??

One of the wonderful things about lemmy/free and open source software like this is that nobody would be forced to use an LCARS theme, under settings a user can change what theme they want lemmy to display in. So... really we can go all out here!

I provided a link to some lemmy themes to give people an idea of the possibilities.

(I am not an admin or anything here, of course the people running startrek.website would need to agree to install the theme on the server side but I figured I would throw the idea out there!)

Local should be renamed to "Starfleet" maybe?

:P

Kind of a joke but honestly it might help star trek fans who are new to the fediverse grasp onto things quicker...
