    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    That's a reasonable in-universe explanation for why they're acting like racist charicaturea of Vulcans. But they totally are.

    The Mandalorian & Grogu Trailer

    But that sort of thing is also relatively common for early teaser trailers. Look at Tron Ares, the only dialogue for the first trailer was a voiceover.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    It's Bajor, they're not made of money. Kira's the one who shows up on the news and interstellar conference calls.

    Imperial driver: "But it says All-Terrain. It's right there in the name."

    watching time pass via tv show

    Kind-of similar to some superhero comics. Like, how long was Peter Parker in high school?

    Yeah, sorry, poor phrasing on my part, I was intending it more as a commentary on the transition in general, not your perception of it.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    Not really. When going back and watching early seasons of DS9, Sisko with hair is always one of the most jarring things.

    The Mandalorian & Grogu Trailer

    That's a selling point for me. Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon are in Star Wars's DNA, and if they go for that kind of cheesy high adventure and manage to pull it off, I'm all for it.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    My impression of Kasidy is that she owns her own ship and hires her crew, but generally doesn't buy or sell goods, instead taking on contract work to ship peoples' goods at an agreed price - essentially a courier for hire. She takes jobs for non-Federation clients, including Bajorans, so is...

    Star Wars: Starfighter

    Better than just using the name of a relatively obscure character too. At least it gives you an idea of what you're going to get.

    So just "I have a bad feeling about this"? It literally gives you two choices: "Accept personalised advertising and all cookies" or "Reject and subscribe for £5".

    Star Wars: Starfighter

    Since I'm not going to accept their advertising cookies, what do they think it tells us aside from "at some point they're on a boat"?

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    I don't think we need to assign any monolithic traits to Kryptonian culture as a whole based on this message. Even back in the Christopher Reeve Superman there were Kryptonians who took a more virtuous outlook, others (like Zod) who would've been right at home with the whole "rule Earth as a...

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    Bye bye to Paramount+ again in the wake of Strange New Worlds. Despite numerous ads during the show's run I was never tempted to check out anything else on the service.

    [PLEASE HALP!] 5-hour flight; what video game should I play?

    It's an oldie, but FTL is a great game to pass some time, easy on the controls and not too stressful in terms of twitch reflexes, plus one that you could play while listening to podcasts or audiobooks.

    (Netflix) K-POP DEMON HUNTERS

    It doesn't make sense to the fans in-universe either, since the public don't know they're hunters, but it's just one line. The rest of the song is all about overcoming their past and finding their true identity, which is pretty universal. And how many people really listen to the lyrics, anyway?

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    Honestly, if they transition to the full-on original series crew they'd be mad not to publicise that under a new show name.

    They've been foreshadowing TOS in various ways the entire time, and this in no way felt like a series finale.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    Except they're not new to us, we met them earlier in the season.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    Why is this episode called New Life and New Civilisations, by the way? It's pretty much entirely about some very old and rather uncivilised life.
