Thanks very much for saying all that. I really appreciate it.πŸ€—I’m definitely flamboyant about Star Trek!πŸ˜‚πŸ––I must do a rewatch of SNW Season 3 sometime. I know I was in the minority for liking that episode and Section 31, but that’s just because I view things differently.

As I said to him, it shows how little he knows me, as I’m anything but flamboyant. I’m very introverted, thanks to being both Autistic and prejudiced bigots like that who’ve bullied me all my life.πŸ™„πŸ˜‚

I wonder if we’ll see a reduction in the hate comments, now that SFA has finished for the season? Just when I think I’ve blocked them all, more pop up. I had one calling me a β€œflamboyant gay” for liking SFA last night.πŸ˜‚I’m not afraid to love ALL of Trek though, never have been.

The people who like to insult those of us who find joy in all Star Trek - you doing ok?

You know you'll always be welcome when you stop gatekeeping and just learn to accept differences, ok?

IDIC is a core tenet of Star Trek philosophy

A thought I just had about #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy . When the Athena takes off or lands, does everyone in and around the campus buildings have to evacuate? I’d imagine, for a safety reason, they’d need people to clear well back, in case anything goes wrong. I’d love to see a take-off in Season 2.

All good points. There was β€œWho Watches The Watchers?” in TNG, with the planet full of β€œProto-Vulcans”. The Vulcans and Romulans were closely linked. It’s a good point about the Klingons. I honestly loved the DSC Klingons and felt they were more believable as vicious, conquering aliens.

Interesting theory, although it doesn’t exactly say how they think it’ll link to β€œDoomsday”. It also disregards all of what happened in Series 4’s β€œThe Stolen Earth” & β€œJourney’s End” where Rose came back to help save the day before returning to Pete’s World with a Metacrisis Duplicate of Ten.

I totally get that. I wasn’t sure of the theme at first. However, it’s now one of my favourite tracks to listen to. I even felt sad that we didn’t get it yesterday, as they didn’t use the normal title sequence for the season finale.

I’ve really liked all their previous Trek theme covers and even have their album on my Apple Music library. So, it was a real joy to see them add the SFA theme too.πŸ‘

I am utterly disgusted and angry that things continue to get like this with absolutely no-one stopping them. What’s worse is the potential for the British government to do the same. They’re hardly allies to Trans people at the moment, but it’ll be even worse if someone like Farage or Badenoch get in

Trump Administration Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans Under a new rule, the State Department will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally.

Every single person sitting quietly by while the fascist regime hunts marginalized groups - just remember how that worked out for people in the past.

I was only following orders/it doesn't affect me.

Do you think it will just stop here?

Very good interview, looking at the themes and messages in the season finale (don’t read if you haven’t seen it!). I like how they explain how the core messages aren’t just reflecting today’s world but the world whenever you’re watching it. As well as, being told who to trust. Very #StarTrek πŸ––

That’s fair. I think it worked because he was only in a few episodes, rather than every episode. However, I did really enjoy when he did turn up. There were shades of Dukat and Vadic, especially in this week’s finale. He’s not in Season 2, so we’ll have to see how his absence affects things.

They’ve both been so good, as you’d expect from actors of their calibre. We’ve been very lucky to have them and I sincerely hope we’re able to get Paul back for a future season. I know he’s not in Season 2 but he’s up for Season 3, when it happens.🀞

I was looking as hard as possible during all the fleet shots, as it felt like a good place to put her. Good catch and it’s good she did eventually turn up.πŸ˜πŸ‘

Yeah, I had someone rejoicing at there not being a Season 2 the other day too. Suffice to say, I took great joy in telling them they’ve actually just finished filming Season 2.πŸ™„πŸ˜‚

It’s great that it’s become the standard alert graphic (in all colours!) for every modern Trek show now.😁I also have my own LED lights pulsing in the different alert colours, for extra immersion when watching Trek.

Totally agree on every front. I loved how good Reno was, especially as a teacher and commander. Her no-nonsense, snarky way was just what the cadets (especially Caleb) needed.πŸ˜€πŸ‘

It’s probably an Autistic thing but, as someone who’s always been able to recognise and enjoy the sound effects in #StarTrek , I like how modern Treks always have the Red Alert alarm going in the background. Older Treks always used to sound it for a short while and then silence it for dialogue.πŸ‘

Just finished the season 1 finale of #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy . Gorgeous episode, which embodied so much of what #StarTrek does best (including one line which made me laugh at how spot on it was about the current political situation!). Everyone had a chance to shine and play to their strengths.πŸ‘πŸ˜€πŸ––

Watching the latest season of β€œBeavis and Butthead”, I can’t help but draw parallels, as the level of complete idiocy and goofy joy at being so incompetent is so similar. It’s also probably indicative of all the people who still, to this day, support Trump and co.
