I got to that part the other day and I was curious to spare him just to see what would happen but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Did a manual save point and killed him, then reloaded the save and did it again. No regrets.

“A Bird of Prey IS a starship, ptaQ!”

I mean DS9 and VOY were shot on film and edited/finished on Beta, just like TNG was. The same restoration processes could be used for them too if they were sure they’d make up for it in sales.

EDIT: Several BTS shots starting here showing the Panavision cameras used (though you can also just tell from the tonal range of the images in the show, there’s no video camera that was capturing that in the 90’s).

That kitty nuzzle tho… ❤️

I keep thinking that it would be hilarious if as a bit foreshadowing in one of the new episodes of Strange New Worlds while Sam and the others are in the lounge, one of the other characters comes up with a personal pan pizza from the bar and tosses it at him and says “Catch!

It really was obnoxiously enjoyable

Was it though? I could see it if you changed the audio track to a language you don’t understand, because it does have a lot going for it; the production design and costumes, set design and construction are all outstanding, sound design is still some of the best there’s ever been (especially when it came to modernizing legacy sfx), obviously the vfx and novel approaches to cinematography (yes, including the lens flares) are all great, etc etc.

But literally every last thing about the story is stream of consciousness, fever dream nonsense, which in any other franchise might be forgiven, but for Star Trek of all things to have such boneheaded threads of anti-science magical thinking, noxious xenophobia and childish cruelty is unforgivable. It’s a top to bottom garbage script, ironically produced with one of the most talented film crews in sci-fi movie history, which for my money anyway, makes it even more tragic and hard to enjoy.

I’ve been using an app called Coax (Apple only, which will disappoint some) to do this with my Plex library and it’s glorious. Beautiful retro styled schedule grid, automated channel/schedule creation, even has a weather channel with Jazz playing. I’m rediscovering stuff that’s been sitting idle on my server for years because it’s just fun to see what’s “on” and be like, ‘Oh yeah, let’s check that out for a few minutes’ and then I end up watching the whole thing.

Oh ffs 😂

I like this kitty very much and would like to give her pets.

In this list, I’ve only heard of Devs and Our Flag Means Death, but those two alone are so goddamn good that you have my complete trust on the rest! Definitely going to check them out.

No worries. I almost deserved it. 😉

Ahhh I did click that but was viewing on my phone and it loaded to halfway through the comments and I thought it had just dumped me in a forum discussion. 🤦‍♂️

Cool thanks. This doesn’t appear in the original article you provided and when I searched the only result for the topic was that article.

Wow, would have guessed 17 by looking at him! He obviously has family that takes care of him. 😊

So where’s the actual story with the ’provided screenshots’? This article is just some rando saying things.

That is one dapper looking kitteh.

I’ve never used last.fm but I saw this video the other day that suggests a way to use it with listenbrainz to create your own algorithm to help ween off subscription services. I’ve been meaning to go back and take some notes but maybe it’s of use?

Exactly!!

Challenge Mode: Turn SuperTrain into a mega blockbuster or GTFO!

No way! 🤯

And Adam Scott is in that scene.

Wat?
