I am personally annoyed. The “Past Tenese” panel at STLV, did not happen at the scheduled time. I was at the convention, very excited for the panel. Anyways, Wolfe mentions being at STLV, so clearly it happened earlier in the day. Apparently the panel was pushed up and there was no announcement of the change.

Which ship encountered worse natural disasters?

I recently came across this meme. After researching, the original meme appears to be https://www.geeksandgamers.com/topic/star-trek-doctor-mccoy-memes/ in late 2020.

That leaves me with one question: Where is this frame of DeForest Kelley from? Looking through both my memories and a double-check in MemoryAlpha, I'm certain it's not from TOS. Is there someone here more familiar with DeForest Kelley's filmography or, alternatively, someone who actually has the time to start looking through DeForest Kelley films?

1. Never realize it takes place over labor day weekend until today. It hits even harder knowing that.
2. It kind of makes me sad not knowing how the original Bell got acess to the Net without jadzia's help. That makes me think he couldn't and It was a predestination paradox and the implication is humanity couldn't put us on a path to the world of star trek on our own and we needing star fleet to push the scales. Explains a lot for our timeline.
3. 1995 Me: Getting the voices on the Net would fix things for sure. 2024 Me: There would be a misinformation campaign to drown out those voices and used by grifters to make a quick buck off the cause. Most would just swipe to the next youtube short/reelz/TikTok video.

Yeah i made myself sad

What are your guy's thoughts on the theme for Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973)?

I feel like:

1. It almost sounds like the battle music for a Star Trek turn-based JRPG on the Nintendo DS.
2. I feel like PRO's theme gives very similar vibes to this one while having a distinct identity.
3. I almost feel like this theme is a weird in-between of the TOS theme and TNG-era theme (which makes perfect sense - I mean what else would be between the 60s and the 80s).

Unfortunately we don't have polls in lemmy. Nonetheless I'd love to hear from you: What's your favourite Star Trek theme and/or your favourite scene with special (background) music?

For example: My favourite theme is TNG and my favourite scene is Cochrane's warp speed flight in First Contact with Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride".

Until Disco S3, "Living witness" was the furthest future we had seen in Star Trek. But Academy takes place after Discovery. At the end of "Living Witness" the Doctor is described as heading towards Earth.

Assuming the burn didn't get them, it's entirely possible two EMHs are surviving in Discovery's time. I think it would be a fun twist if it wasn't the EMH we expect!

It's not often you see WV natives on-screen. Last year I learned that Brad Dourif (Lon Suder from Voyager) is from here, and TIL Paul Dooley (Enabran Tain from DS9) is from not far from where I live.

Just thought that was interesting that Trek has two (so far?).

So I recently embraced and continued my love of Star Trek within the last two years. I think back to First Contact Day and how many Trekkies like myself ate a yeah you kind of forget that what they’re doing kind of forget that they’re not on a starship where they can do this as much as they want a meal of pierogies, salmon, and tequila while watching the movie First Contact.

Are there any similar ways people celebrate Star Trek Day?

I mean, I get it. For bingewatching to be effective such option must exist. But I just can't imagine to skip Star Trek intros. It's part of the anticipation, the joy, the ritual. What about you? Do you skip intros?
