What a clickbait title. It's just a generative AI that turns meme images to short videos. Big deal.

Nothing new really. A series producer asks fans to watch his show.

PIC was always meant to be a three-season series, and DIS is the first show of the Kurtzman era to air, so it makes sense its the first one to end to make way for new shows. Dropping PRO from Paramount+ before season 2 is surprising though.

Content creator is also a dumb term. Everything is content. We have filmmakers for people who make videos, vloggers for more casual ones, streamers for live video. Writers and bloggers are better words than "content creator"

But thousands of years of use in practice, so that says something.

I don't know who greenlit this supposed celebration of TAS, but the writing is cheap, lowbrow and cringey. It's a total shame that the amazing animation and sound design are paired with this quality of writing. None of the three eps released so far impressed me.

I'm seriously shocked by the Youtube comments that found it funny. The latest one is literally supposed to be funny because it involves boogers. Paramount should be ashamed it spent money on this. Have they stopped for a moment to think if this is what TAS fans want? /rant

In celebration of the original Voyager's return in her full glory in Lower Decks season 4, it's high time to have another listen to the Prodigy theme written by Michael Giacchino.

If you've only listened to the theme in the Prodigy opening, you would have missed the solemn but beautiful buildup to the epic second half. To me, the first part shows a yearning and curiosity toward space exploration, much like a child looking at the stars and thinking when I can be up there. And in the middle of that imagination, the music shoots up, and you suddenly find yourself in a starship whizzing through planets and nebulas at warp 9.

It's such beautiful and epic music. So underrated.

So Boimler inadvertently causes Nurse Chapel to end her relationship with Spock and encourage him to go back to T'Pring?

The food synthesizers of the 23rd century are simply no match for the 24th century replicators for providing Federation citizens a nutritious diet. That'll explain why Boimler is so tall compared to 23rd century people.

Also missing is the catchphrase "Every series. Every episode." I wonder why, Paramount?

AFAIK, Peertube uses ActivityPub as well, but are Lemmy instances federated with them? I don't seem to see Peertube instances on my feed. It be cool to see Lemmy comments appear below Peertube videos.

Spock in SNW brings his portrayal in The Cage in alignment with the rest of TOS. In that episode, he smiles and has a more relaxed demeanor. If you watch TOS again, Leonard Nimoy plays Spock as oblivious to human emotional expression without being robotic. I actually find Ethan Peck's portrayal to be more rigid than Nimoy's. The Peck Spock tends to either suppress his emotion to the degree that he can appear monotonous and stiff, or fail to suppress emotions and experience outbursts. Around 10 years later, the Spock in TOS finds a balance and seems to have found a balance between emotional expression (including sarcasm and low-key passive aggressiveness against Dr. McCoy) and logic. That's good character development imo

Edit: Not to mention Spock's final words in the 2009 movie where he tells his alternate self not to think too hard about logic and do what feels right. That's Spock's arc ends and resolves his internal conflict that lasted over decades.

That Vulcans cannot feel emotions because of their biology. They actually suppress them and have been trained to do that since they are children.

Very true. We are misled by how Worf tries to be a stereotypically honorable Klingon because he is culturally human. He has little knowledge of how Klingons raised in Qonos understand honor.

It really helps if people speak literally and not use metaphors like this. It's so hard to understand when people mean it or if they are exaggerating or trying to be funny. I don't find it funny.

lemmygrad.ml is blocked from federating with us. See https://sh.itjust.works/instances

Lemmy and kbin are two different forum software that can be installed and run on servers. Because both use the ActivityPub protocol, the content between them can be shared. So, a Lemmy user will be able to see content from a server running kbin, using Lemmy.
