Also, while i'm being true to my instance and ranting about DS9, Garak's actor, Andrew Robinson, wrote a DS9 post-finale novel from Garak's perspective and it's really really good.

I don't care how unpopular an opinion this is on premiere Star Trek instance tenforward dot social dot com but DS9 was so visionary and ahead of its time that every Star Trek media that came afterward could never match it. Nothing even comes close. Judging by recent Treks, they're not even trying.

I'm very excited for the upcoming DS9 documentary and they're working on remastering clips in HD for the film. Here's an update on what they need: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4groKy6xPj8

Honestly, the entire series needs an HD remaster because DS9 is the best Star Trek ever made and the lighting and set design deserve better than the initial showing. Plus, if we could get improved graphics for Odo's transformations... i think we'd all be a bit happy about that

*screaming from the rooftops* LOOK AT THIS PIC OF GARAK IN HD #StarTrek http://trekcore.com/blog/2018/08/additional-star-trek-deep-space-nine-documentary-fundraiser-announced-hd-footage/

oh wait he's in DS9 too isn't he? *sigh*

I can't stand Q, I skip all the episodes he appears in. What do you all like about them?

The main reason Star Trek is a utopia isn't philosophical or ethical, it's sheer utilitarianism: Everyone is competent at their job because there's no reason for anyone to have a job they're not good at. Nobody needs to fear being unemployed because money isn't necessary to live.

Please state the nature of your... what happened to me? I might need my holomatrix checked, the clock says over a year has passed!

I must say I appreciate putting food and drinks behind these "CWs". And I'm even more happy not having to deal with all this... Eating and digestion.

Other notable highlights from the last 10 episodes include: another episode I actively enjoyed (Fusion), moar space ghosts, ST veteran cameos (Jeffrey Combs! Rene Auberjonois!), and my dream of Trip and Malcolm getting marooned almost coming true

Continuing my first watch of Enterprise. It's trundling along but I was moved to toot by the appearance of Al from Quantum Leap! 😃 I was sure he'd show up at some point

Also, concerning #5, the Janeway one, should take her all over Earth so she can experience both different times and places. At some point she should come across both Jonathan Archer, AND Dr.Sam Beckett

OR, IS ARCHER DR SAM BECKETT :O

Disclaimer: I don't remember much of Quantum Leap. I watched some as a kid, but always got it mixed up with Sliders, which I actually remember better.

5) Janeway retires, finds a nice apartment somewhere in upstate New York but it turns out her neighborhood is rammed full of TEMPORAL ANOMALIES.

6) A documentary-style show about a Klingon opera company putting on a production, and all of the things going wrong, eg:
• actors getting lines wrong can be challenged to the death by their understudies, even mid-performance.
• casting/costume disputes based on which Klingon design is represented

Apparently Ira Steven Behr wanted to end the series by looping back to 'Far Beyond The Stars' and saying it was all in Benny Russell's dream. I'm kind of sad they didn't go for it but I wonder how it would have changed how I felt about the world? Maybe it wouldn't have changed anything.

This was a great series of talks. Lot of video game players in the comments are upset by how political (read: progressive) the talks are but they're pretty good. My favorite is the last one by Ethan Redd. He talks about optimism as creators and it's pretty invigorating.

I'm just going to JohnLock Conspiracy my theory for Season 2 of Star Trek Disco and say they're making Spock/Kirk canon.

(no, I don't actually think this. I just heard a podcast about TJLC and shit, that was intense)
