I like LD, all the seasons. I think season 3 is where the main characters take steps towards their future growth, beyond being ensigns. I think that Mariner has the biggest character growth and change. The season 3 finale, "The Stars at Night," is pretty intense for LD, but I think it is so very well done.
On the petty side, I hope that Mariner does not get back with Jennifer in season 4. She ignored Jennifer at the end of the season 3 finale, so here's hoping.
"We have always believed that The Wrath of Khan is the fulcrum movie upon which Star Trek turned."
I think that this cannot be overstated. TMP did not get the reception, recognition, and bucket loads of money, the studio was banking on. It no doubt took a lot of work, and luck, to get the studio to back a second Star Trek film, even with its much lower budget. There are many reasons we have the current choices of Star Trek series and movies, but I don't underestimate how vital TWoK's success is with the situation. This sounds like a fascinating book, and is definitely on my "I want" list.
Random lukewarm takes with no consistency of posting? Want it? That's exactly what I'll be doing on my Mastodon account! Occasionally sharing some of my tepid observations with the world.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Thank you all for all of your hard work. I missed StarTrek.website something fierce. I could ponder the ramification of how integral StarTrek.website quickly became in my life. Self-reflection and growth. Nah. I just kept reloading your feed to check for when the site was up again. LLAP.
I like this moment. No villainous riffing. No sneering. No glaring. Just a casual greeting. So surreal.
Doing what it takes to save Tendi!
No worries. You regularly comment and post on a variety of topics, always with a steady and non-antagonistic viewpoint. This situation is very, "it's not you, it's me." I have relatives from the southern U.S., and they shorten "passed away" to just "passed." It's just what I'm used to hearing.
I love this scene! I think they all nailed it. Wilson Cruz' delivery, posture, head tilt, everything for, "Did you just call me 'Papi?' " is wonderful. I'm loving the Georgiou quotes, too.
"Well hellooo!"
Nice! Before I remembered where it's from, my first thought was it must be from Lower Decks. Nope.
Yes! I think taken on its own, it comes across as a not-epic quote. But, as the finish to a tremendous demonstration by two amazingly talented actors, it's so emotionally hard-hitting.
Excellent. Love that episode.
I don't hate the Borg Queen. I think she's an awesome antagonist. All hail the (Borg) Queen Alice Krige. Mad respect for Susanna Thompson's portrayal. Loved Annie Wersching's Borg Queen, too. Jane Edwina Seymour's Borg Queen creeped me out, which was the goal, so kudos to her.
Yeah it did. LOL!
How did I ever forget this one. Time for a Star Trek V re-watch.
Definitely a t-shirt ready quote.
I think of this being said the same way as two squabbling siblings saying, "He won't stay on his side."
