This is just your notification that I’m angry that Reboot was cancelled, and I’m angry Star Trek Prodigy was cancelled.

I feel you need this information.

the way garak looks at bashir as he puts all the clues together at the end of cardassians. the sheer 'look at that little twink go (affectionate, sexual overtones)' energy he manages to convey in the background there as bashir passionately does the presentation of their group project that garak did 80% of the actual work on. immaculate

#star trek ds9 #deep space 9 #star trek #garashir #elim garak #his lil face journey as they speak to the lady about rugal coming to the orphanage too. adorable. 'it's so over oh we're so back' #also the revelation that garak is high as a kite not only for this but for most of the first two seasons. hysterical #I love him so much already. #'yes yes I'm sure we're ALL very sad about the orphans or whatever. I wouldn't know I haven't experienced a natural emotion in years' #(let's hope he's at least fooling himself at this point) #ALSO also. sisko in his bathrobe in the middle of the night b/c 'so uh dad my unhinged new boyfriend wanted me to ask #if we could borrow the car. no he didn't say why. yeah I'm sure he has a driver's license he was like in the army or something #btw he snuck into my room while I was sleeping and I didn't notice a thing lmao isn't he cool???' #sisko you deal with so much all of the time and there aren't enough medals they could give you for it #bashir going 'tell me what's going on in your head or I stg I'll turn this runabout around'...... yes. yes wonderful

Was poking around AO3 for kicks and giggles, and I find it fascinating how so many folks can just go ah, yes, this story Inspires me to Create, while this…not so much.

I know this isn’t entirely fair given the discrepancy in the amount of media per franchise, but here are the AO3 works counts for Dune, Star Wars, and Star Trek, all sci-fi classics that also have new additions to their respective franchises.

Especially given how Star Wars itself draws heavy inspiration from Dune, I just find the differences in these numbers interesting! And I feel the same! SW does appeal to me a lot more than the bloodline obsession/freaky eugenics/religious manipulation themes of Dune, which also exists in SW but far less.

(Also, while I really loved Chani in the new film, I definitely personally did not feel any shipping sparks between her and Paul, I just wanted her to get away. The guy does NOT deserve her in any way. (then again, I also felt no shipping sparks between Padmé and Anakin, so this could just be a me thing…))

This also reminds me of how the James Cameron Avatar films are a huge fandom flop, despite the budget and blockbustery fanfare they got.

To be clear, I don't necessary think media needs to spark fandom creativity in order to be good or worthwhile, and there's plenty of stuff I enjoy without feeling the need to create, so this isn't meant to be a criticism per se.

But I was just contemplating about different media and themes that inspire me and makes me want to engage in a community, versus stuff that doesn't.

If you have any thoughts, feel free to share!

#YukiPri rambles #Star Wars #Dune #Star Trek #this is just me rambling but it felt like a Tumblr post #again folks have reasons to want/not want to watch these films and this post isn't about that #I didn't watch the new Avatar so can't really critique it #My only experience with Dune is the new movies though I've read up on the full story and #ngl it did not make me want to watch the older stuff or read the books #I have limited experience with Star Trek too #so I'm personally coming from a hugely Star Wars biased perspective but #hmm just thinkin the numbers be interesting

I like to think the music made people more inclined to dance but it wasn’t necessary. Una and Kirk were just vibing and decided to commit to the bit.

The thing about TNG is that the space aliens and moral quandaries are always like, the least insane part of the episode

#star trek tng #star trek #tng #watching Loud As A Whisper right now #because I wanted to know more about sign language in the Star Trek universe #and anyways I'm only 15 minutes in and I have notes #1) Picard saying 'cluck cluck cluck' to Riker was so ??? #broski who talks that way #2) your mission is to pick up and shuttle an incredibly important diplomat #and you're telling me the mission briefing didn't include the fact that he was deaf??? #3) I absolutely don't believe that Riva is some exceptionally talented peace negotiator #because every interaction he has with another person makes me want to punch him in the face #4) His initial interaction with Geordie is like... some abled persons weird fantasy of how disabled people interact with each other #You're telling me this guy is deaf. has deaf parents. and still reacts to other peoples disabilities like they're brand new? #5) The Universal Translator Isn't Universal If It Doesn't Translate Sign Languages #6) Why does Picard act like he's never met a deaf person before??? Do they not have deaf humans in the future?? #anyways I understand that this was probably a pretty progressive episode for it's time #but it ages weird #like the world building seems very poorly thought through

hc that uhura , scotty , sulu , and chekhov all gossip whenever jim and spock leave the bridge

#they talk ab the tension between spirk every single day i just know it #one time they’re gossiping and the news is so crazy that they forget to stop talking when jim and spock walk on the bridge #and jim’s like what’s going on ? #so they include him in the gossip and jim is obviously so into it #and spock just stands there like 🤨 #so from then on out they include the captain in their gossip sessions and spock is the only one doing any actual work #star trek #star trek tos #tos #spock #captain kirk #jim kirk #kirk #s’chn t’gai spock #nyota uhura #lieutenant uhura #uhura #montgomery scott #scotty #hikaru sulu #sulu #chekhov #pavel chekov #lgbt #lgbtq

The amount of copium T'Pring is ingesting in this scene is unprecedented and deeply sad especially paired with Spock immediately going "Yeah of course, you know me so well babe." Someone SAVE her. You HAVE to understand. He made out with Chapel IN FRONT OF HER and her response is to immediately rationalize both that action and the clear 'passion' she saw in it - then to have sex with him. HELP HER!!!!

#SNW #needed to make sure I was right about this conversation and I was #WOOF #star trek SNW #T'Pring #SNW Spock #<- different beast from TOS Spock like they're NOT the same person they're not even different versions of the same person #same with any TOS character vs any SNW counterpart - those are just ocs with the same names #which is WHY.......they should have just made NEW CHARACTERS!!! #T'Pring: -seeing Spock & Chapel making out- This iis part of some la r ger plan. It is. It's a plan. He's so good!! At planning. And ACTING #Stonn: -standing right next to her-.................. #T'Pring: He LOOKS like he's cheating on me because of his passion. His half human passion. We love each other. He loves me. #Stonn: ............................................................ #Spock in this scene and Spock in that scene playing chess with Chapel like 'We need to do the right thing and tell Starfleet about our #relationship' oh you need to tell STARFLEET??????? #Hey Spock #Hey #You think you might need to tell your FIANCEE??????? About your RELATIONSHIP with Chapel?????????????????? #You think T'Pring might need to know about that???? No??? Ok #INSANE writing that they didn't even have him HINT at her presence. It's as if T'Pring doesn't exist if she isn't literally right in front #of him #how much T'Pring trusts and tries to connect with SNW Spock vs how he gen-u-inely doesn't seem to care about her literally at ALL #<- I'm screaming #Guy who only treats you like an adversary or inconvenience except when you might break up with him

"It amuses me SNW did a better job selling "Not all Orions are pirates" in one episode than LDS did in four seasons.

In LDS it's basically Tendi kidding herself whereas SNW took it seriously."

Absolutely gobsmacked by the double switch the Orville pulled with the Krill, Moclans and Kaylon. I thought for SURE we were heading for the classic "disparate warring factions all unite against the larger existential threat" and then in the last two episodes they Matrix dodged out of the way into "your former allies are now allied with your sworn enemy and now the killer robots are on YOUR side because you saved them from extinction???" I love that "everyone unites" trope but this is so much more interesting!!! Everything is complex and messy, no easy answers. Absolutely thrilling TV.

lower decks is the best star trek show. i'm not taking constructive criticism at this time

#HOLY SHIT #no spoilers but. oh my god the latest episode is SO GOOD #i knew we were going to get at least a part of mariner's backstory this season and IT DOES NOT LET DOWN #really season 4 has been banger after banger #A Few Badgeys More was the only episode i was kinda eh on #if you asked me how i would rank lower decks after just watching the first two seasons i would probably say like. high mid #it's funny but not that deep #but in the last season it's quickly rocketed to be one of my favorite shows. certainly my favorite of new trek #idk it's just rare that a show seems to perfectly straddle being largely made of references and specific star trek jokes #while also having incredibly strong characters. not just of the main four but also the bridge crew. t'lyn. even compelling one offs #tbh i think the reason it's so successful is because it actively avoids the BIG GALACTIC DESTRUCTION plots that disco picard and prodigy do #(though prodigy much less so) #it just. let's the characters exist and builds plots around the characters instead of the other way around. #anyways sorry for rambling. the latest episode just. gave me feelings. #lower decks #my posts

I like to think that other Vulcans who date humans tend to seek out Sarek for advice

#‘yes the humans are terrified of horrors yes they’re going to keep putting them on. the point is to hold them’ #*horror movies #‘logical arguments will not win you are just going to have to accept that you have a pet dog now’ #‘no I do not understand what ‘fine’ means either. you will have to wait till you bond to figure out the correct way to respond’ #there’s also cute stuff too #but I think they’d usually seek him out for stuff they need help on #I’d like to think he gets happy whenever someone brings back good news to him #unofficial grandpa to many kids both born in and adopted to these couples #at least to the ones who had kids in some way #also unofficial grandpa to pets adopted by couples who really love their pets #Sarek trying to logically explain to Amanda why he must attend this kitten’s birthday party #‘I am an honored guest I do not want to upset the younger generation that looks up to me it is only logical I attend’ #s’chn t’gai sarek #Star Trek #Vulcans #humans

[penicillium-pusher]

rip to the concept of Vulcans getting drunk on chocolate instead of alcohol

#star trek #strange new worlds #based on the trailer and Spock drinking with Klingons lol #I imagine they’re gonna go for a drunk Spock joke #and I’m like naurrrr that’s not how it works #something only I am invested in <3

[mai-komagata]

i mean we can't get away from kirk in snw

If we are supposing the "main" main characters in this ensemble show are like uhura, spock, la'an, and pike (im basing this on a-plots + prevalence in b plots), then you need to show spock and kirk becoming friends if this keeps going -- not like "oh we drink some times" buddies but like "im fucking ashamed about how much my friendship means to me if im forced to confess this under the influence of space pollen" and that is like 1 year into their 5 year mission.

Like he's taken a year to be like "confiding my its complicated relationship with my friend" level friendship with uhura. Like if you are wondering why they keep bringing kirk in its because SNW just builds on every thing even casually mentioned in TOS and well, this isn't a casually mentioned plot point. And yes, kirk hasn't interacted much with spock, yet. But if that is not the eventual purpose it should have stopped in s1e10. But they need to build him as plausibly hanging out there b/c Spock doesn't like, *seek out* people. La'an went through a journey in this season with him (and that is important for her character! And very well done!), but I'm guessing they specifically chose *him* because it gives him a foothold. Same reason they have Sam on the ship. There will be a limit to Spock's character development if Kirk isn't visiting on occasion in the next few seasons. Just like you couldn't have a Pike show without having Una around -- she is his emotional support officer. And yeah, i love all the other characters, too. I really wish we had more than 10 episodes a season. But that means there are some characters with more a-plots than others. And as long as our main characters are the ones I listed, yeah kirk will be around. But Kirk in of himself is not an a-plot or b-plot character. He is a vehicle for storytelling for the other main characters -- Pike and La'an and Uhura so far (i.e. the other main characters that aren't Spock). but ultimately the camera doesn't follow him -- he isn't himself a pov character. That is why I'm not worried about him but why he needs to be there sometimes (but not always, because he isn't integral for like... Chapel, Una's or M'benga's story. No reason to have them in their episodes).

#he's like pelia #or garak #he's there to aid other characters develop #but his character development is only a fun easter egg #not the plot #jim kirk #james t kirk #spirk #i guess #but i dont even mean it romantically for once #not everyone is a main character in an ensemble show sadly #star trek strange new worlds #strange new worlds #snw #strange new worlds meta #spock #i really wish we had more than 10 episodes a season

I don’t have the streaming services to watch it but from what I have gathered so far the crew of the enterprise from strange new worlds just keeps stealing Jim from the Farragut. What are you doing with that man. Why are you forcibly adopting him.

Sometimes I remember that Michelle Gomez was BAFTA-nominated for Missy in Doctor Who and I start screaming.

#doctor who #michelle gomez #gomez!master #missy #in all of new who the only other actor nominated for a BAFTA tv award has been Matt Smith for Eleven #she was nominated with Lesley Manville for River and Chanel Cresswell for This is England '90 #FOR DOCTOR WHO #there's an interview with Jack (her husband) somewhere where he was like #I had to tell people it was like getting an Emmy nomination for Star Trek #like SHE DID THAT
