DiogenesTheIdealist@startrek.websiteOPto Risa@startrek.website•Friday night plans?English2·1 year agoI actually like it too! Though it does get stuck in your head! I agree, I like the concept of the opening sequence portraying human advancement and the desire to explore, facilitated by cooperation. (I thought SNW did a good job of capturing that feeling, among the new treks.)

DiogenesTheIdealist@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•I just finished DS9, and I'm sad to know that we'll never get anything like it againEnglish2·2 years agoYes, seconding the recommendation for A Stitch in Time and it’s wonderful to hear “Garak’s” voice again if you do the audiobook. I also really enjoyed the DS9 documentary!
DiogenesTheIdealist@startrek.websiteOPto Mlem for Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Question/feature request: image uploadEnglish2·2 years agoAhh ok, thanks for the reply! I definitely understand. A lot of my posts are image posts, so I’ve been popping into the browser version whenever I want to make one. I’ll keep doing that workaround for now!

DiogenesTheIdealist@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Did anyone else dislike TOS in their youth but came around to it when they got older?English7·2 years agoI didn’t dislike TOS when I was a kid (watched sporadic re-runs growing up in the 90s), but I am doing a full re-watch now and I definitely appreciate it more. It’s kind of amazing how it often manages to be goofy and extremely deep at the same time. Like the actors have a way of lending urgency and seriousness to what seem on the surface to be silly interactions.
I was also thinking of “Dagger of the Mind.” When Kirk tries to reassure McCoy that the colony is more like a resort, he replies “A cage is a cage, Jim.” Always thought that was interesting, indicating McCoy is essentially a prison abolitionist, though not indicating that that is the dominant view that has won out in the federation.
