Star Trek Social Club

What's the opinion on his character these days? I know he has a reputation of being very disliked.

In S1E14, at the beginning Riker is walking along side Yarr and Worf who are departing to play a game when Riker says “The pride of the Enterprise goes with you!” and the. Gives a reverse 🖖 hand signal. Anyone know what it means?

David Collins has been a great musical podcast host starting all the way back with Star Wars Oxygen. I’ve always wanted him to cover Star Trek and it looks like it’s finally happening!

I really hope he does TMP/Goldsmith as a whole.

I’ve been watching TNG for the first time and so far season 1 has been hit or miss. Ether a episode will be really good or really bad. So far I think episode 23 is a really good episode! I hope that Tasha isn’t actually dead. I liked her and thought she was a gorgeous woman! This is the one and only time I will ever want spoilers but is she fully dead or does she return?

Sharing this new interview from a Toronto daily newspaper about the making of the upcoming time travel episode. (Contains light spoilers regarding the places in Toronto visited in the episode.)

The Toronto Star does have a paywall, but a few articles per month are free to view.

From a mostly visual aesthetic, which Klingons do you prefer?

Anyone play any Star Trek Tabletop games? (Specifically STA, the SFU games from ADB, or Attack Wing/Alliance)? I wanted to get a tabletop gaming magazine together for that, but I don't know if it has a justifying interest.

I know it's been done to death all over the internet but not here yet!

If you could choose any actor or actress to be in Star Trek who would you choose?

I recently saw that Nic Cage said he was a Trekkie and I'd absolutely love it if he played an insane alien villain of some sort for an episode or two. Get him in star trek legacy as a crazy ferenghi or something.

/r/music is a fun one to watch right now. https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/14c5kyw/update_bizarre_popup_admin_account_demands

I watched a review of the TNG episode "Thine Own Self" a while ago where it was mentioned that Picard doesn't appear until the very end after Data gets back to the Enterprise, after all the scenes of Crusher having the bridge and Riker observing Troi taking the test to becoming a commander. They suggested that Patrick Stewart may not have been around for most of the filming but they needed him to appear at least a bit in the episode because it was in the contract.

Is this a common thing? Yesterday I was watching DS9's "Paradise Lost" and couldn't help but notice that Bashir only has like 3 lines on the Defiant and could easily have not been there. But Quark doesn't appear in the episode at all.

But if Armin Shimerman didn't need to be in every episode they could easily have cut him from the episode "Duet" because the only line Quark has is him wondering whether Bajoran survivors of a labour camp like to gamble.

Maybe I'm just thinking too hard about what happens behind the scenes instead of just enjoying the show.

I posted this on r/startrek yesterday, but I've moved to Lemmy now.

I've noticed a number of memes already popping on this community. One thing I always valued about Reddit was that the larger communities were often able to clearly delineate which spaces were for different types of content, and I'd hate for that to get lost in the move to the Fediverse.

Could I suggest that, while people are still getting used to the new home of the communities that used to exist in the Star Trek subreddits, it might be helpful to distinguish between them with a simple sticky post on each community?

e.g. Something along the lines of:

!StarTrek is for Star Trek news and discussion.

!DaystromInstitute is for serious, in-depth discussion.

!Risa is for memes and shitposts.

Please help the mods by picking the right community to post in, and live long and prosper!

This would also have the benefit of continually publicising the existence of the smaller DaystromInstitute and Risa communities.

Comet TV is showing the first four Star Trek films, and "The Captains Close Up" this weekend.

Comet TV is an American digital broadcast television network. I get it over the air in my area. The channel can also be viewed online at the Comet TV web site.

Shall we embrace cross posting?

Shall we have links in our bios if we have accounts on both? Is anyone here actively using both at the same time? How's it going?

Any advocacy on the sub-reddits by cross posting lemmy threads/comments and maybe doing more?

Or we just ignore each other?

I love how it looks. I’ve been trying to figured out what the background is, though.

Me: I can’t place that background.

My brain: It’s Montana.

Me: What?

My brain: What?
