Yeah yeah, stem bolts reference, sure - are they intentionally making a battered-looking rustbucket shuttle for fun? These nerds.

Btw, a lot of the criticisms I've seen of Lower Decks get resoved if you just accept that it's basically a children's social engineering cartoon made by and for adult trekkies.

Like, "Why do all the characters talk so loud and fast?" "Why do none of the characters date each other when they all have such good chemistry?" "Why is every major status quo shift resolved within an episode or two?" Because friendship is magic and we have to save the world before bedtime, bitch! Get with the god damn program

#lower decks #star trek #star trek lower decks #st lwd #lwd #I'm not saying these aren't valid criticisms #but I am saying that if you watch Lower Decks with the expectation that you're about to watch a bunch of childrens tv tropes #you're going to enjoy it more and have more of your expectations met #than if you watch it expecting to see a bunch of adult film tropes

Would you change or add anything to the Lower Decks ds9 episode?

I would have made it 60 minutes long and included more cameos.

EDITED TO ADD: Also, I would have made them animate Lt. Vilix'pran.

The way the Star Trek franchise continues to shoot itself in the foot is part of the charm at this point, honestly.

Big Festivids Recs Post!

Last weekend was the big Festivids GoLive, which meant the release into the wild of 160 brand new small fandom vids (aka fanvids, edits, etc.) Right now the collection's anonymous, but tomorrow is vidder reveals, so I wanted to write up a recs post for some of my absolute favourites from this year's collection. If you know Yuletide, well, Festivids is like Yuletide, celebrating small/weird/underappreciated fandoms! It's an exchange fest, so people ask for the small fandom vids of their heart and, then, receive one.

Honestly the collection this year is SO high quality, you should really go and browse the works yourself in their entirety; there are so many vids that I absolutely loved that I didn't put on this recs list, because I was trying not to get carried away (and also trying to get it done). But just to get you started, here are a smattering of my favourites. I tried to represent a bunch of vid genres and source types here, but ultimately it's just my taste.

RECS RECS RECS!

Andor: Level Up

AHHHH this is a vid about Andor and fascism and collective action and One Way Out and it's so gorgeously done. Perfect song choice, perfect vid, makes me cry and I will rewatch it many times.

Andor: be ready and be brave

Focusing on Ferrix, its history, its people, and its revolution. Absolute chills. Also I'm SO happy whenever I get to watch a vid to a Mountain Goats song.

Mosquita y Mari: como siempre soñé

Such a sweet, soft, slow romance vid. I ACHED for these two. Like reading a 300k slowburn but in three and a half minutes.

Dropout TV: Nothing in my Head

The Dropout TV vid of my DREAAAAAMS! (largely Game Changer but with lots of stuff in there!)

Taskmaster UK: Blood in the Cut

UHHHH. IT'S AMAZING??? It's hot and raw and kinky and hardcore. the vidder has the delicate, precise touch of a bloody scalpel. Yes, this is a vid for Taskmaster, the UK show where comedians do silly tasks. Because yeah, it's that show, but it's also this show.

Slash/Back: Uja

This vidder KNOWS how to vid horror. The way this vid cuts the most terrible images to make them barely-there, more horrifying for being rough slaps against my consciousness . . . yikes. Amazing vidding, super cool and scary, while also maintaining the uplifting, kickass, hopeful tone you want from a collective-action horror movie.

Janelle Monae: I Like That

Glorious, joyful, sexy celebration of being a free-ass motherfucker.

Star Trek: Lower Decks: Hard Times

Boimler vid about how he's essentially a redshirt who is just slightly too sweet to actually die. Absolutely adorable and hilarious.

Woman King: Upside Down

Absolute BANGER of a vid, great cuts, great movement, great character arc and great Dahomey women being amazing.

Romeo + Juliet: Magnetic

We all agree Harold Perrineau is the best Mercutio, SO, with that in mind, here is a flawless celebration of the best Mercutio.

Knives Out/Glass Onion: 'Til You Hit a Nerve

Brilliant comparison vid putting Marta from the first film together with Helen and Andi from the second one, drawing out the similarities and dissimilarities in a visual feast and with a badass powerwalk. Nothing not to love!

David Cronenberg's Films: body

This one is phenomenal. It takes David Cronenberg's entire filmography and condenses it into a vid about all the sexualized body horror. It is deeply horny and deeply disturbing and deeply fascinated by every single finger going into a hole in a body that shouldn't be there. It's soft and tentative and it's very graphic and violent, all at once.

The Wheel of Time: Velodrome

Tower politics and circularity and being bound to one another in every good way and every bad way; what a beautiful vid. I love how this is about a place, and about how that place draws these people together over and over in their shared experience and love and trauma.

The Midnight Sky: The Laughing Heart

Absolutely gorgeous vid of the film to a spoken word + music rendition of Charles Bukowski's "The Laughing Heart" (there is a light somewhere). I have not seen this film but I found this vid deeply moving.

Moby Dick: Queequeg and I

There are four (FOUR!!!) Moby Dick vids at Festivids this year, and they are all amazing combinations of a huge smorgasboard of sources, I heartily recommend them all, but I'll specifically rec two. This one is Queequeg and Ishmael to "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and it is the sweetest queerest thing ever. Queequeg and Ishmael get a happy ending shhhhh they do shhhhh yes this is how it happened they came out of the water they're fine

Moby Dick: a vulture feeds upon the heart forever

This vid is a fucking masterpiece. It is a huge archival multisource Moby Dick vid that weaves all these incredibly different visual together to make a coherent, tragic narrative. And like. The BOOK is not a coherent narrative! This is such gorgeous and amazing fanwork. Don't miss out on it.

Women's 100m Sprinting: Didn't Come to Play

This is GORGEOUS, I don't know anything about sprinting but I know I love these beautiful joyful powerful women running really fast and hugging each other and being amazing. The editing on this is so tight; the vid never stops for a second. Like a sprint?!?!?!

The Golem and the Jinni: סיפור הגולם

This is another book vid, but since this book doesn't have any adaptations, it's using entirely archival source and probably some documentaries and films to construct the story - or, really, construct the vibe of the book, construct the metaphors of the book, and the result is beautiful and powerful and meditative. It's about survival, and making life.

Jesus Christ Superstar: Hope on Fire

This is another umbrella vid, where the vidder is taking a bunch of different productions of the play and mashing them together. This vid focuses on Judas and Jesus/Judas, and it all feels so inevitable and tragic and real and cruel. I really loved it.

Jordan Peele's Films: Goodbye, Honey, You Call That Gone

This is such a wonderful mashup of Jordan Peele's three films, exploring all the parallels and differences and just the rich tapestry of his imagery.

猎罪图鉴 | Under the Skin: Put It On Me

I don't know this source but this was just so gorgeously put together; there's a focus on art and art objects, on hands moving and creating, that's just mesmerizing.

"Boimler and Mariner remind me a lot of Fry and Leela from Futurama, except this time, the boy is the one with the purple hair. Also, I love how Mariner's parents are voiced by the same actors for Hermes and LaBarbara Conrad."

#here's the thing i haven't watched futurama in literal decades #and even then it was whatever episode i could catch on tv #so i don't know if fry and leela are a couple in this pic #but they're both cute so who cares #enjoy #confession 360 #star-trek-fandom-confessions #star trek #lower decks #futurama #beckett mariner #bradward boimler #philip j fry #turanga leela

#star trek lower decks #ok you got me NOSTALGIC #NANA AS KIRA ON TV IN 2022?? THE WORLD IS HEALING #rutherford desperately fangirling over nog/jake is so cute

[flutishly]

Was thinking about the new back-to-back Lower Decks episodes and about Star Trek's definition in relation to insightful television (another post for another time) and I sidetracked to thinking about Mariner's character arc, her interaction with Ransom in "I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee", the way she's processing her own self-destructive tendencies, and how for all that she probably wouldn't make a very good Captain, she's definitely a good leader.

She'd make such a good second in command.

Mariner's biggest flaw is her insubordination and tendency to push back against authority. But at the same time, these are often highly calculated acts of insubordination, brought on very intentionally and wielded like a sword. Mariner knows how to manage people and inspire them. She has a great capacity for creative thinking. And she also constantly challenges whoever's in charge. She has no interest in dealing with the bureaucracy of Starfleet and the minutiae of managing and the difficulties of playing politics with the admirals.

On the other hand, Mariner would be excellent at delegating ensigns, finding wacky solutions to strange problems. And most importantly, she'd positively crush it at giving her captain a reality check. Starfleet First Officers often need to push up against their commanding officers and have in many cases been the essential voice in making sure that the captain sees reason.

Older obscure Star Trek fanfiction

What does a TV adaption of an extremely nihilistic comic book series made in the early 2000s and a Science fiction television show of the 1960s representation of the ideal vision of the future have in common apparently, a lot of fucking actors

This is a story that has nothing to do with enterprise except for references. I’m sorry for those who were expecting Ent, but what can I say? I’m a Genz Trekkie; I can’t always stick to one audience

Warning the boy's series is a super freaking gory series, wall so is Decks, but not to the extent The Boys is. There is mentions of Disembowelment and electrocution in this story and other warnings that I cannot give you at this time because this fic is not finished you have been warned

Please don’t hesitate to PM me and give writers love and support as always enjoy

The ghosts of the past can be a big pain in the ass for those in the future, and there’s nothing wrong with hoping for a better tomorrow.
