Star Trek memes and shitposts
Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
I dislike Discovery, not true to Gene's vision.
It stopped being sci-fi and started being fantasy when they started with magical tardigrades and "time bugs". The rest plays like a space marines series.
Edit: also the spark and flame throwers on the bridge make it look like GWAR concert.
Thankfully TOS never did any fantasy stuff like galactic barriers, Trelane, massive green hands in space, or Abraham Lincoln. That wouldn't have been true to Gene's vision.
I'm not a fan of Disco either, but tardigrades and time bugs are really low on my list of complaints. Star Trek did lots of even whackier stuff over the last 60 years (or did everyone forget the "Fun with DNA" episodes of the 90s?). In fact, that time bug episode was probably the best 32nd century Disco episode. Which is a low bar, but anyway.
Detest, Voyager, missing/extra pips.
Notes: WHERE IS HARRY'S PROMOTION?!
The one where Kirk dies. I don't think I need to explain further.
Oh my
Which Kirk and which show/movie where he dies? He's died at least 4 times in 3 different universes.
The one with Picard too. I forgot the name.
I have a problem with the Kelvin timeline. Specifically how they depicted the Kobayashi Maru sequence. No, I don't care if Spock programmed it. My issue is that Kirk's behavior stank. He straight up cheated, but even worse, he was smug about it. That didn't show leadership potential at all. That was conduct unbecoming of an officer.
I'd always had it in my head that Kirk simply disagreed with the test philosophically. It's a simple scene to set up. Kobayashi Maru tests officers to see how they deal with a losing path in a simulation of a deterministic universe, but especially to reveal the quality of their character. But Kirk doesn't believe in fate. He believes in a quantum universe, where infinite possibilities spring from the vacuum every instant. In my mind, Kirk wouldn't simply reprogram the hostile ships' shields to drop at an exact moment, then just line up his shots. That's still determinism! Instead he would subtly reprogram the simulation to account for random chance, and depend upon his skill to beat the odds against whatever the scenario might throw at him. Examining his changes to the code would reveal not a spoiled rotten, cheating, nepotism brat, but a confident leader with a fundamental difference in personal philosophy for approaching the Universe, and furthermore, who simultaneously argued that the Kobayashi Maru was a flawed exercise, while generously offering a patch to improve it. That's captain material.
That scene would have made me lose all respect for Kirk if I regarded it as canon, so I can't. I would never follow a man like that into the unknown, no matter his supposed tactical brilliance. No disrespect to any of the actors. It's just bad writing. Beyond that, I've got no problem with Kelvin beyond minor quibbles.
I understand where you're coming from.
Another way to look at it though, is Kirk wanted to draw attention to the ridiculousness of the test. He was making a bold statement that his intention wasn't to "cheat" but to show the test was stupid by rubbing it in their faces. He was saying if you're going to fix it so I can't win, I'm going to fix it so no one can lose.
I have my issues with the Kelvin timeline. And to be honest I think the writing could have been better in that scene. But I would prefer they replace the ending of movie two. The reactor sacrifice thing went away past just a nod to previous movies into lazy writing. And the blood thing created SO many future plot holes...
No man is an island
I dislike LD because it’s too hyper.
It does get less hyper as it goes on, but only to a point.
Please enter beep box to complain
I love to rag on Neelix, not least because I think Ethan Philips has been criminally underused ever since VOY ended. (Put him through a freak worm hole already!) But even so... Dang. Got his own checkbox. His cooking can't have been that bad...
Klingon continuity is the only thing on here that can get me riled.
Faith of the Heart is... whatever. What Janeway did to Tuvix, I definitely wish didn't happen that way, but I can get over it.
But dammit stop fucking up Klingons, please. TOS gets a pass (and Enterprise, whatever its other problems, retconned a continuity fix for that.) But every Klingon fuckup after that is inexcusable. (Some more inexcusable than others.)
(Sorry. Sorry. I'll go take ten deep slow breaths now.)
Some of the spinning camera shots of early DIS seasons made me legitimately nauseous but I was also not entirely sober so like fair
What if I don't like the new movies because jj Abrahms can't direct for shit?
Try Beyond. He had basically no involvement.
I've seen it, it's definitely the best one.
Checkmark lens flares?
Good call.
How are you going to have two for Janeway but no mention of siskos war crimes or martial law. Smdh
Because I can live with it.
Computer, erase that entire personal log.
Touchè
I understood that reference
My complaint is I don't know half of the acronym.
I am not sure I like TOS because hair (pike)
By far Pike's most noticeable feature in TOS.
Ive only seen DS9, and I loved it, which one should I watch next?
In seriousness, I would suggest TNG for a comparable experience. Plus it also has Worf.
Just start at season 3, or be ready to go thru the rough years first.
Voyager would be my recommendation. It starts on DS9. After that I'd watch TNG, but the first two seasons are rough. Also skip S1E4 (Code of honor). Trust me on this one.
Specify if comic sans! You got me!
We're calling out Comic Sans, but not Papyrus?
LMAO
