Sounds like a sad attempt on Disney’s part because they couldn’t come up with a fresh new movie and instead are cannibalizing characters that should be focused on the tv side of the company.

I’m doing a chronological rewatch of the whole franchise and am at the episodes where DS9 and Voyager overlap. It is mind boggling how much better DS9 is. I find myself wanting to skip almost every Voyager episode so I can just get to the DS9 ones.

I’ve watched Picard and discovery twice now and can safely say they’re very pew pew. The third season of Picard rocks, regardless. I still consider discovery to be the worst of all Star Trek shows. At the end of the day, I love all trek, but those two are not the highlights of the franchise.

For one Star Trek isn’t fantasy in space which is honestly a lot more appealing to those of the nerdy persuasion.

Like, Star Wars has ships that can travel anywhere and basically instantly whereas there are actually in universe explanations for how that might work in Trek and you can’t just zoom home whenever you want - Star Trek Voyager is a whole show about a ship that can’t return home. There are also just way better characters in trek and enough variety that everyone has different favorites.

It’s also nice that many of the conflicts in trek are solved through logic, diplomacy, and smarts. Only in Star Trek Discovery and the Picard show does the franchise venture too far into “pew pew” territory.

At the end of the day Star Wars is like 10 movies and a handful of shows that don’t do much and Trek has that many movies plus like 700 episodes of content.

One last tidbit, most of trek actually flows really well into each other and I think is way more cohesive than Star Wars where each era of movies feels like a different universe.

I wear a TNG uniform to my local ren fair every year - it almost exclusively generates excitement and high fives.

Honestly not what I expected but I’m interested.

Major shareholders sign term sheets which always govern the terms of who is prioritized with profit, major decisions or in any economic event. Breaking term sheets is breaking a contract which is illegal in the sense it has legal consequence for not being adhered to. Especially if it involves a public company and is under SEC jurisdiction.

 

!nerdgeist@lemmy.world is a community for those wanting to nerd out over things that maybe folks in your IRL commununities don't care as much about. Share what you're passionate about, discuss movie or video game news, or show off your nerdy collections!

See you there!

 

The amount of comments I’ve accidentally swiped away from and had to retype because I’m trying to look at the original post for reference is getting quite frustrating. This is far and away my favorite lemmy app but we really need this functionality for it to be a true successor to Apollo. Apollo’s UI was fantastic but we also need the utility of Apollo.

 

Hey folks,

I setup a community called nerdgeist on lemmy.world as an inclusive space to nerd out around stuff you’re passionate about that maybe those in your immediate IRL communities don’t appreciate as much.

Come check us out and join the conversation!

 

Three They Come was maybe the coolest to me so far. The exorcism quest line was also really memorable and creepy to me.

What are your favorites? Found any secret quests that we should check out?
