  • Locking up the community on they’re way out may have been well coordinated, but it isn't well received.

    It feels a lot more like capitalism than community: Listen up, I own the deed to this community and my property rights are supreme.

    I guess I joined lemmy just in time for all the chisme 🫖☕

    Edit: a word

  • Allow me to complete the trifecta with Uncleftish Beholding 👌

    Today we wield both kind of uncleftish doings in weapons, and kernelish splitting gives us heat and bernstoneness. We hope to do likewise with togethermelting, which would yield an unhemmed wellspring of work for mankindish goodgain.

  • To me at least, it is 3 difference concepts taking turns driving a single program. S1-2 feel like the TNG formula, but with the twist of a primitive crew and ship. S3 feels like a mutiny of star trek itself. S4 feels like they sort of forgot they were supposed to backfill the canon.

    That being said, I've walked away with it among my favorite treks. I personally rank Degra right up there with Dukat and Kai Wynn as some of the most distinct and well-developed trek villains.

  • Ya you make good points, but when I think like that I begin to strongly dislike alot of it.

    My personal beef was always how the federation looks the other way at all the vassals and clients of the Klingon Empire. Just ignore their hordes of space helots I guess.

    Ironically it is only in Enterprise where I finally see someone disgusted by it, but they technically aren't the federation yet.

    For those particular episodes you mentioned the cogenitor one was the one I really disliked. Some of the worst moralizing ever: think of the perils of unrestrained suffrage before you enlighten a slave!

  • I felt like in S4 they really hit a balance between episodic and serialized star trek. The arcs are 2-3 episodes and tightly focused. The standalone episodes seemed like a way to walk back from the whole season arc in S3.

    Watching it now, S3 feels ahead of its time. I want to believe there is enough content to edit it down to a Netflix style 10 episode season of all the best parts.

    Also augment trilogy deserves praise for shooting Archer out of a hatch into deep space and transporting him mid-trajectory and half-dead from exposure. He's seen some shit.

  • Yes! They are so fallible, and believably so most the time, that I really appreciated their missteps.

    The only time I didn't appreciate thinking was when it decontamination time. I just pretend it is like watching an old b/w show with an embedded detergent ad: an unfortunate relic of its time that is just baked into it.
