I guess the Netflix MSTK was an atari situation : just rehypothecate an old brand we happen to own. I’m not sure exactly what happened there but the result is I rarely see praise for it.
That being said, I really liked it. Barbershop quartet in season 2 is a particularly great highpoint of the series.
Unpopular opinion: Maybe the narrative metaphor of the space station is the dash od salt that enhances the flavor of the voiceovers and that’s why I didn’t get into rifftrax 🤷♀️
Ya in his quarters he decries the Klingon bastards that killed his son. But at the dinner with Gorkon he drinks and toasts with klingons. He leaves it in his quarters, which of course backfires.
Woah isn’t that exactly what he himself tries to do in Undiscovered Country?
Maybe you’re right.
I had a response written but at one moment I wondered “is this what the writers of Picard told themselves too?”
Maybe TrekCorp isn’t at a place right now where they can tell a good standalone story without a clown car procession of cameos and references.

Look how they massacred my boy Londo.
First real character I remember in sci-fi. He’s a highfalutin blowhard from a noble house, who’s fucking broke and has to lose two of his wives.
Then he picks the one that treats him the worst because she lies the least.
Then he goes on to sell his soul to make his planet great again which of course if goes all monkey paw on him.
The dude is a walking pile of contradictions. There’s nobody like him in star trek sadly.
A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather’s restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.
Can we get the Andor folks to make this? Turns out the extended story of a supporting character can be amazing when done well.
On top of being an excellent documentary the credits are a masterclass in advertising; I absolutely bought it for all the stuff teased in credits.
Today is a good day to die observe trek fans are fucking lit👏
Never have I been so delighted to read such obscure trivia

Option 2 was known even at the time and appears as a joke in the dilbert cartoon.

This is a clip of dilbert waking to a 7-of-9 alarm clock which proceeds to roast him.
Ya look at the cast photo, everyone looks genuinely happy. I’m rooting for them to succeed.
Sorry not sorry 🖖
Perhaps you’re right, Captain. Perhaps I’m insensitive to the bond between you and your subservient quadruped.
I love it when Phlox tells Archer how it is.

Lol that’s a new one for me. It’s funny because it’s true 🤣
I haven’t read any of the long sun books but I feel like I understand that feeling. Fwiw, I first finished all 4 books and was only satisfied with the end of book 3. Thankfully there’s so much meat between those endings that it kept me going.
That disappointment is what made me realize that I must have missed some important details and start an immediate reread.
Once I started over on the first book it was amazing to realize how the clues are just everywhere. I’m reading the exact same words, but this time they’re hitting way harder.
if they ever do an oral history of the development of that series, it will be a juicy read.
I agree. I’ve never been interested in meeting any of the cast of any of the shows, buuut if I got the chance to meet any of them I would absolutely choose disco so I can ask how it went down.
It’s just the same story, Netflix picked it up then declined to renew.
Their process ignores gems like Scavenger’s Reign and workhorses like Prodigy in favor of, I dunno, bean counting?
My tinfoil: she survives, but is mangled/killed soon after so he has a love interest in place when the Talosians take him from the beep beep chair into his own nexus/matrix.
