oh noooo what abt snw is bad 😭

:smiles:

One million little things. I’ll will put them in an arbitrary numbered list for no reason.

1. Enough TOS already: we get it, tos was pretty awesome but like…. No need to beat a dead horse. Spock is the most deadest horse to ever die. The fact that there has now been THREE actors to revise the roll of Spock is a red flag. When Spock came back on TNG, in the 80s, I felt like they were jumping the shark with that. Enough Spock, let Spock rest. I don’t care about his secret siblings that’s literally dumb. He was at his ever best in tos and everything else after has been a bad interpretation only created so people can go “look it’s Spock!”. Also speaking of which

2. Spock isn’t Spock: SNW Spock serves no Spock energy anyway, so why even bring him back. Just have a different Vulcan character for the love of god…. OH WAIT you can’t because you decided to make a tos prequel and Spock was the first Vulcan in Star fleet so you literally on god cannot have another Vulcan… sucks to be you. And then…. For some unknown reason… they were like “you know what Spock needs ???? A love triangle” like dear lord in heaven the cringe factor just shot through the roof. I don’t even wanna get started about how in amok time it was very clearly implied and stated and tpring and Spock had an arranged marriage and only ever met as children. You know, the whole reason they didn’t wanna get married because there was nothing between them in the first place and being shackled to a stranger for the rest of their lives would have been awkward as hell….. instead the writers of SNW were like “what if we retconned one of the most iconic episodes of tos… and instead made it so Spock and tpring were bitter exs 😂😂😂😂” LIKE SHUT THE HELL UP! Honestly Spock not being interested in pursuing romantic/sexual relationships was very fundamental to his character. It set him apart from the others in the show and was definitely meant as a parallel to Kirk who was constantly falling in love with everyone. How many times did they have to explain the concept of love to Spock who would then be like “hmmm I don’t personally get it but you humans do seem to gain something from it.. so” AND NOW WE ARE MEANT TO BELIEVE THAT SPOCK WAS IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP AND IN LOVE ???? Literally giant retcon for something so fundamental to his character.

3. They based a show off a failed pilot from the 60s: that’s kinda all I have to say about that one. It’s just kinda funny on principle and kinda gives the whole operation doomed vibes. They were like “nooooo we can make it happen this time I swear!” Yeah. No.

4. Pike is nothing: Pike is a lame captain, I’m sorry. He constantly seems like he doesn’t know what’s going on and his plastic face is stuck in a smirk as if he’s epic, and I feel like the show keeps TELLING us how epic he is and yet he has done nothing to prove that so far. Like character will walk up to him and be like “pike you are so bad ass!” But it seems like whenever anything bad happens pike looks exactly like the below picture.

Maybe he did awesome stuff in disco that I just didn’t see yet but still…. No proof of anything bad ass. I feel like he’s not even in the show that much, really.

5. I don’t like the humor: humor is personal of course so I won’t go too much into it, but they rely on a lot of quippy one liners and characters reacting to something random happening by being like “well that was random!!!” Which to me is just like the laziest form of humor. I honestly think that classic trek managed to be very very funny at times, especially tos and ds9, and they never much relied on pointing at something, turning to the audience and going “well isn’t that crazy!”

6. Weird pacing: I feel like I’m constantly being bored to tears and yet often get taken off guard by events happening. I think this is because they try and throw in as many plot twists as possible. I do not like unnecessary forced plot twists. For example at the end of episode three they were like “the transporter didn’t work….. because m’benga is keeping his daughter in there!” Like what. Literally what. No hints to that before. No nothing. Plot twists that come out of left feild with no hinting before hand are just empty. That whole episode was filled with empty plot twists. “Number one is genetically modified!” Like okay. Do you want me to feel shock at this revelation that is never brought up again and holds no relevance in the bigger picture

7: I dont like new trek aesthetic: again just a personal preference. I can barely look at the stark white shiny chrome polished plastic of it all. I hate lense flares too and it’s disappointing that the new trek aesthetic seems to be mostly established from AOS movies… like why. I will say they have built some impressive sets and don’t seem to be relying too much on CGI to get the job done, so that’s good to see and to their credit. But yeah, I think the 60s modernism of TOS was very timelessly beautiful. I understand it was very of the era and won’t hold up the same, but I wish they would have incorporated more aspects of modernest design when creating the aesthetic for new trek. Like that wouod have cool. Oh and also most the uniforms are so 🤢🤢🤢

8. there is only 10 episodes per season: that is like, not enough time to get into a show in my opinion. No time to get to know any character or nothing. Oh and speaking of that

9. Why is there so many damn characters. I can’t even tell who’s supposed to be a major character and just kinda a background character. It leaves no time to explore their personalities since we have only got to know them for 10 episodes. I guess maybe since half of them have been mentioned before we are supposed to know them already? Like Spock? But for a character we know the most about, we sure do spend a lot of time on Spock.

I don’t know, I could probably keep going. Like I said a lot of this is just personal opinion and it’s not an awful show. It’s just I care so much about the franchise it would be hard for any show to meet my expectations. I did go into it kinda exciting but pretty neutral and wanted to watch as much as possible before I formed an opinion. I’ve seen up to episode 9 now and am definitely gonna finish it off, just for completions sake. Overall it just feels pretty stale to me, like they aren’t trying to do anything new and are just relying on recognizable stuff from the franchise to get them through. I’d really like to see them make a show that continues the journey (you know… maybe We can meet the…. Next generation… of people in starfleet?) instead of shows that keep going back or are based around well known character.

I think they are really scared to make a series that doesn’t heavily lean on TOS or TNG because those are their two most recognizable shows. However, if they made a show that took place where canon left off (after ds9) then they would have to bank on the fact that everyone watched a much less popular series. I feel like they don’t even want to touch the dominion war because they are afraid no one will know what that is, but in order to make a truly new series they do kinda have to talk about it, don’t they? So like, instead of dealing with that whole mess let’s just keep making prequels because everyone knows who Spock is. So yeah those are most my thoughts on SNW (I could keep going) if anyone reads this whole thing feel free to send angry messages and pick apart the probably countless misspellings I made here cuz I am not going back to edit all this. Bye

Okay, thoughts on ep 5 of Strange New Worlds:

- Spock Amok is a terrible name, those words do not rhyme but I feel like they should. 2/10, you tried

- number 1 and La'an just wanting to work for fun is so cute 😭 I love them

- T'pring is a baddie and she should dump Spock

- Body swap! Body swap! Body swap!

- the actors are both so good, aww

- I love a filler episode

- the dramatic shot of the fishing hat got me

- Spock screaming with absolutely dead eyes also got me

- the medical professionals weren't like "hey, we'll give you some painkillers because it's the future and we should be able to do that basic thing"?? No, they said, "ha! This is going to hurt! Haha!"

- honestly, that's on brand for Chapel

- I want Chapel and Ortegas to get together SO BAD OMG

- but they're definitely setting up Chapel and Spock and I'm going to grieve when it happens

- Also Chapel is a bi babe (or pan or generally queer) and honestly, we all knew based on her haircut, but it's nice to be confirmed in the dialogue

- now if she and Ortegas could start dating...👀

- I want Sam Kirk and his mustache back

If you made it to the end, thank you for coming to my TED Talk. When they make Spock/Chapel canon, I will be holding a funeral for Chapel/Ortegas. Contact me then for further details

#I keep saying Sp-uh-k Amok #star trek #snw #chapel #spock #ortegas #t-pring #number 1 #la'an #i really hope i'm remembering everyone's name right because I'm really bad at that #strange new worlds

✨2022 Writing Year In Review✨

I was tagged by @lenievi! Thanks for the tag, I love doing stuff like this! 🥰

1. Number of stories posted to AO3: 17

2. Word count posted for the year: 122,912 (pretty sure this is close to my yearly average which is just like ?????? how tf do I write that much 😭)

3. Fandoms I wrote for: star trek (tos, aos), khr, and pokemon technically

4. Pairings: spones, sarek&spock, mccoy&amanda, 1859, 8018, and platonic 5933

5. Story with the most:

- Kudos: Reciprocal Averaging (373) (thanks so much y’all!! 😭😭🙏)

- Bookmarks: Reciprocal Averaging again lol (110)

- Comments: And, who could’ve guessed! Reciprocal Averaging (24)

6. Work I’m most proud of (and why):

Out of the light, my mirrorverse spones fic. I’m really proud of the worldbuilding I did for that fic, especially in terms of adapting tos episodes into their mirrorverse versions. I’m also pretty proud of the emotional journey spones have, I feel like it actually progressed well and I feel like I’m usually terrible at that kind of thing lol. Also figuring out how to fit in the rest of the crew, what their mirrorverse selves are like (including bones, who was SO FUN TO FIGURE OUT!!) was a great time!!

7. Work I’m least proud of (and why):

Uhhh I’m not sure actually? I feel like the ones I’m “not proud of” are because I remember how much it sucked to edit them lol, and I feel like editing always makes me hate my work. So I try not to actually think that way about anything I’ve published 😅

8. Share or describe a favorite review you received:

A lot of people leave sweet reviews, and I’m really thankful for all of them!! It makes me so happy to hear that people are enjoying my stories 🥺 A few of my favorites were by fellow transmasc people telling me how much they appreciated my fluffy trans!spock fic, but those felt too personal to share here so I thought I’d share this one instead:

I adore how this opens with Jim's POV, and with so many little asides and details that make my heart sing. From Jim's teasing, to 'arguing', to McCoy being too mad to even notice Jim entering the room, to the PDA discussion to... well, you get the idea. It makes the fic feel so deep and layered and an incredible addition to the BW series. And then the whole litany of failed first dates, lol. I don't think I could pick a favorite no matter how many times I reread this. But I love Spock being so determined to make this happen for Leonard's sake (even to inadvertently sabotaging one of the dates), and Leonard's ever-underlying insecurities rearing their ugly heads. Love how they work through it all, and the wonderfully romantic "final first date" at the end - even Kirk's determination that they will have a great one, and that's an order, dammit! Heart-warming and made me laugh out loud several times. I adore the relationship you've crafted between Spock and Leonard and always look forward to the next story in the series. Thank you for continuing to share these delightful interludes with us!

This person leaves a lot of kind reviews, but this one especially was SO nice to receive because I rewrote next time for sure SO MANY TIMES to figure out the failed date attempts and make the story feel fleshed out and real, so it was really nice to hear my efforts paid off~

9. A time when writing was really, really hard:

Honestly the last few weeks of 2022 were really tough, especially in terms of writing for 12dos and my 100th fic on ao3 celebration. Tbh I think I put too much on myself LOL right around holidays when I was really busy and had a few covid scares so I was just super stressed out and hating everything I was writing. But I’m getting back into some wips this year and things have calmed down so I’m feeling a lot better about things!

10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you:

Tbh I was NOT expecting to get back into writing khr again LMAO and somehow I wrote like 4 fics this year??? XDD I think Customization especially was surprising because I had the vague idea for it and then sat down and wrote it in like an hour lol, it was a lot of fun tho!

11. A favorite excerpt of your writing:

I wanted to share something from out of the light but all of my favorite scenes are a little too steamy to just post on here I feel LOL so have this excerpt from Held Together:

“Do you even know where you are going, Leonard?” Spock asks, somewhat amused. It would entertain him to no end to watch McCoy try, and probably fail, to navigate the mountains Spock knows so well, but it would be more amusing if it wasn’t nearing midnight.

“Sure.” McCoy stops and points up at the night sky. “That’s Sehlat Kan-bu, over there is the Scholar.”

Spock stops just behind him. “…You are aware of our ancient constellations?”

“Constellations have always been an interest of mine,” McCoy says with a shy smile. “I’ve always thought that what people see in the night sky says a lot about their culture. Once I finished learning all of Earth’s, I started to learn those of alien cultures, too. It’s surprisingly common throughout the galaxy, though of course on Vulcan most constellations were devised before the time of Surak. I’d have a hard time imagining T’Pau pointing up at the sky and claiming that a certain star cluster looks like a sehlat.”

A small smile tugs at Spock’s lips. “Certainly not in public, anyway.”

McCoy laughs and turns to keep hiking. “It shouldn’t be much further.”

Spock’s curiosity is piqued now as he follows McCoy across the rocks. He has to admit he hadn’t been expecting much, particularly once he realized that McCoy was taking him into the mountains. Spock has quite literally seen everything on these mountains many times, so he had wondered what McCoy could possibly show him that he hadn’t seen before.

But now that McCoy seems to actually possess an intimate knowledge of the area, Spock is much more curious to find out what it is.

They walk for 10.6 more minutes before McCoy comes to a stop, staring up at the sky. He is standing in the middle of a clearing that Spock had once named Sehlat’s Bed, due to the unusual amount of times he had stumbled upon a wild sleeping sehlat in the area. Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be one here now, but Spock stays on alert as he comes to a stop beside McCoy.

“A-ha! There it is.” McCoy points upwards. “That’s K’diwa.”

“Roughly translates to lovers,” Spock comments, staring up at it. “I too enjoyed learning the constellations when I was younger, and this is one of the only ones that I thought actually looked like its name. You can see the line of stars where the two beings become entwined, one being—”

He turns, only to find McCoy now holding out two of his fingers. Before Spock can even raise an eyebrow, he murmurs in Vulcan, “Spock, will you be parted from me and never parted? Never and always touching and touched?”

Spock’s breath catches. He had not expected this, and it probably shows on his face. Even though he should have known it was coming, it turns out that McCoy managed to surprise him after all.

12. How did you grow as a writer this year:

God these kinds of questions are so hard lol because I feel like I have no perception of how to judge my writing????I feel like I’ve improved in crafting stories with like actual plots in them lol, which I think was always a weakness of mine. I’ve also tried writing a lot of different kinds of stories this year, so that was cool!

13. How do you hope to grow next year:

I wanna get better at writing shorter things, since I think it takes a lot of skill to fit a fully fledged story into just a few thousand words. I also wanna continue improving at plot building and descriptions lol

14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):

well tbqh the answer seems to be sarek LOL. 1859 and spones ofc are also always my muses 😄

15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:

hmm other than my obsession with nature and wildlife LOL I don’t think so

16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:

Something I’ve been doing this year is editing fics on my phone (and by that I mean reading them on gdocs on my phone and doing the actual editing on my computer document), but the main thing that’s important about this I think is that it tricks my brain into thinking I’m reading something “new” because it LOOKS different. Like I think part of the reason editing is so hard for me is because I know what it’s SUPPOSED to say, so that’s how I read it even if there are typos/grammatical errors/better ways to phrase/etc. So I think it’s really helpful during editing to read your story on a different document, or with a different font, cause at least for me I’m a lot more likely to catch mistakes that way!

17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:

I am SO excited to work on the next fic in my pokemon spones series because I’m introducing sarek and amanda LOL. I also got newfound direction for my sarek & mccoy 5+1 meetings fic so I’m looking forward to working on that more! (I told you my muse was Sarek lololol). Otherwise I’m looking forward to working on new spones and 1859 stories, finishing this spock/scotty fic I have, and working on my original story idea as well! OH also my QPR fics that I’ve been working on and am excited to share hopefully this year!!

18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read.

Idk who to tag, so if you want to do this, consider yourself tagged!

54 Great Things about Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach

Strange New Worlds season one episode six... yay... so glad we got to this one...

Pike's impression of La'An is so bad 😂

La'An's security lessons were probably mandatory continuing education for the crew and that's why they all know them and I need fic now of this happening

Combat cruiser has grappling hooks to grab Alora's ship instead of a tractor beam

Enterprise is gigantic compared to the shuttle and the cruiser - I like seeing the size of things in space because it's easy for me to loose track of the scale of the ships

Pike's hair is ridiculous in this episode - too much mousse, my man, too much

Number One is thoroughly enjoying seeing Pike reduced to a bumbling lieutenant and slightly mortified

"Oh, well, it's gold, technically… because I'm captain" 🙄

Attempt #1: Uh this is my Number One

Attempt #2: Una

Attempt #3: Lieu-Lieutanant Commander Una Chin-Riley

Number One manages to keep a straight face as her captain demotes her an entire rank in his attempts to speak coherently in front of a woman (no, I am not interested to know about the discrepancy in the rank stripes on the uniforms or screenshots of the ship's roster)

Rukiya learning about the transporter timer 😭

The Majalis maxim "science, service, sacrifice" is very similar to Pike's in Discovery "service, sacrifice, compassion, and love"

Slow turn by everyone in the ready room when Pike can't turn off the googly eyes

When Pike tells Alora Starfleet requires them to investigate the downed combat cruiser with or without her help, backing up Number One's statement, Number One turns to face Pike and then turns back to Alora like "Told you"

Spock being like "Whaaaat is happening" during the debrief

Everyone is instantly charmed by the First Servant in sickbay

M'Benga realizing the Majalans could cure his daughter

Uhura is 9,000% done with the lessons of security by the time they go investigate the cruiser

Alora blatantly lying No, I don't know what that neural dampening device is

Majalis has pretty architecture if you don't know what's actually going on

The floating agenda Alora's assistant uses is rad if you don't know what's actually going on

Spock would be such a good dad

"That would be an impressive feat [rewiring the biobed to generate a subspace frequency], though Dr. M'Benga might object." … And the First Servant is so proud that the ship's science officer thinks that he is impressive

Oh my god how does nobody fall off the Majalis walkways

Uhura scarfing down lunch and her smirk as Kirk talks a big game and then becomes a shrinking violet when La'An comes over

"I would, but I'm conflict averse?"

Lesson six of security: Know when to bend the rules. Good rule for lots of things

So much empathy for Elder Gamal when M'Benga is expressing his wonder at the quantum bio implants… because this kid probably has those implants not to improve his quality of life, but because he is going to be plugged into a machine that will literally suck the life out of him and those implants will let him be a longer lasting battery

The doors to Alora's quarters are beautiful if you don't know what's actually going on

Pike is such a beefcake under that uniform, damn

"I wonder what ever happened to that Majalan girl who couldn't fly a shuttle"

Uhura is so proud of herself for figuring out the Prospect 7 mystery, and she should be!

Everyone constantly underestimates Uhura when they give her a task and she always delivers in spades - get it, girl!

La'An being a good mentor and telling Uhura to present her work to the captain

Rukiya 😭

The First Servant and Rukiya playing together

Grumpy Pike at having his romantic rendezvous interrupted and Diplomatic Number One politely inviting him to reengage his brain

Mitchell's face when the cruiser explodes after trying to warp out of a tractor beam

Everyone on the bridge is standing to pay respects for the loss of the First Servant during Pike's call to Alora - it's a nice touch

La'An defending Uhura as she presents her evidence that Elder Gamal has been lying

What the fuck is a Mugatan breathing stone - I need answers (never mind, I looked it up and I don't want to know)

Deck 17 is the Enterprise's attic, apparently (why are there so many containers everywhere does the Enterprise not have cargo bays?)

The ascension ceremony top-side is beautiful if you don't know what's actually going on

Damn the brig is huge - everything on this ship is way bigger than I think it will be

Look, given how completely adorable and taken everyone is with the First Servant, I knew the kid was toast the first time I watched this episode, that's just the way fiction works. But every time I watch the scene where they take him down to the chamber and Alora is being all creepy about Pike being allowed in I want to jump into the television and pummel her into the ground. All of which to say, nice acting.

"You're saying there's no way to contact the captain exactly when I need to talk to him?" And Spock looking genuinely afraid as Number One advances on him saying this.

I can't describe how deeply uncomfortable and sad and angry the ascension scene is for me. Which I guess is the point.

They really threw Pike onto Alora's ridiculous circle bed as awkwardly as possible or that's just not a great camera angle

"You're damn right I'm going"

Eerie soundtrack during Pike and Alora's conversation is eerie

"Maybe in the future you'll feel differently." Great line and lot for Pike to think about given their earlier conversation about his future accident

Elder Gamal helping M'Benga develop a treatment for Rukiya, even after his terrible loss

I never have to watch this episode again

#star trek strange new worlds #lift us where suffering cannot reach #i hate this episode #it's not a bad episode it's just not for me #snw great things

Tag 9 people you want to get to know better

I was tagged by @thescrumptiousbooksstuff !!

Three Ships

1. Tinn and Gun (I nearly missed discovering them but thankfully, i started watching MSP and the way these two have a strong grip on my heart 😍😮‍💨😭)

2. Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter (I may not have shipped them while reading the books, but reading all the excellent fanfics have changed my mind)

3. Prapai and Sky from Love in the Air (They are WAY too cute and oh to have my very own prapai)

[You know just HOW HARD it is to just list 3 ships, considering just how many i read fanfics for]

First Ever Ship

I mean, my first EVER ship was (still is, to be honest) Natsu Dragneel/Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail was my introduction to world of anime (i considered Pokemon as cartoons as they had eng dub when i watched it) and I still pray for the day they actually become canon.

My first M/M ship? That would probably be Kirk/Spock from the Chris Pine movies (AOS). They might not have had that actual onscreen romance, but their devotion to each other was simply unparalleled.

It's either that or Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale from Teen Wolf. I started shipping them while reading fanfics of them first, then watching Sterek scenes and actually watching the show only a few years ago.

Last Song

Sugar Rush Ride by Tomorrow x Together - This song and Devil by the Window from txt's lovely album The Name Chapter: Temptation have me in a tight grip.

As of writing this post, the song changed to the My School President cover of Just Being Friendly so might as well add that in. Because I LOVE this cover so so much. The MSP soundtrack is probably gonna be my part of most streamed albums this year.

Last Movie

I haven't seen an actual movie in almost 2 months. But I last watched

Matilda: The Musical on Christmas. It was such a good musical, thoroughly enjoyed watching, especially the Revolting Children sequence, it was GLORIOUS (though i still like the old movie better, this was a good nostalgic trip)

Definitely watch if you like Matilda.

Currently Reading

I'm assuming you're asking about actual original books instead of fanfics, right? Because I'm sorry but if so the last actual non fanfic stuff I've read is Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine, not kidding.

I'm actually preparing for a very important pg medical exam so it's mostly like mbbs books with fanfics and genshin and some thai bls during breaks.

Currently Consuming

Black Coffee (I'm having french roast americano that i made in my coffee maker at home) and had breakfast just a while back which consisted of paranthas made with radish filling!!

Tagging:

I honestly didn't really expect to make friends on Tumblr because I've always been more of a lurker on this site. But I've found a lot of interesting people. I may tag you but you're in no way obligated to have to answer them, feel free to ignore if you want!

I guess it runs in the family...

ID: A pair of GIFs from Star Trek. The first GIF is from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and shows Sam Kirk ignoring Spock’s order to “please step away from the egg” and touching the surface of an egg shaped alien device, before he is thrown backwards by an explosion of yellow lightning. The second GIF is from Star Trek: The Original Series and shows Sam’s brother Jim Kirk receiving an mild electric shock from a glowing alien computer after he ignores an alien saying “i suggest that you do not touch it”. The caption below the GIFs is enlarged and in bold, and says “i guess it runs in the family...”.

yes I relate to spock bc I am mixed and undoing the damage wrought by assimilation

yes I relate to spock because I have adhd/autism and have had to mask

yes I relate to spock because I’m a musician

yes I relate to spock because I’m a science nerd

and most importantly

yes, I relate to spock because I am gay <3

Has anyone done this yet?

Image ID: two images of Spock and Jim Kirk clasping hands from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. One contains the “live slug reaction insert, the other an edited insert saying “live Bones reaction” with an image of Doctor McCoy (Bones) instead of the slug.

NAUR U DIDNT SEE THAT THE READ MORE DIDNT WORK, anhways

yeah 😭 kinda disappointing ... not heinous ofc but like "ehh, shame u had to go down that route". as soon as they went down the whole worship route - bc i coulda guessed it would end up in some sort of "savage execution" whether it be a sacrifice or not.... it like a 1 in 3 chance with that trope. HELP. AND the finishing blow of "we've given them... tools for farming... and freedom!!"

HELPPPagain- its like.... just kinda ickyyyyy. tos' attempt at this kinda thing was OUTRIGHT gross but here i guess its got enough plausible deniability to be ickyyy and thats it.

WHICH IS SUCH A SHAME BC. AGAIN LIKE I SAID. i really liked the rest of it, in terms of john and his story, and d'argo's reaction. same way i liked elements in paradise syndrome, again- with kirk, and with spock and bone's reaction... which is very funny actually. god bless.

also SORRY TO BE LIKE GUY WHO ONLY KNOWS TWO SHOWS BUT like ... you know. its fair i think. bc farscape obviously does have star trek influence (christ what doesnt) - both in things it takes from it, and in elements of it that feel like an obvious response to "fix" parts of trek. so its kind of... yeahhh bringing it up a lot. LOL.

bhonestly though. backtracking. i will take the time 2 say i think farscape has otherwise held up fine, otherwise. i mean- tbh? yeah its- hmm, there's some parts or one or two lines that do make me go "eh!" but its like. frankly very typical for late 90s so whatever. like- buffy was WAY fucking worse for it, anywayand wrt this episode in particular, i wouldnt be surprised if a more "modern" show tried this exact same story, in the exact same way, even now. bc its like- eugh... like i said, "plausible deniability". i dont use that to excuse it, but i guess there's just still some thought processes that are so... inherent that it just doesnt get challenged in the way it should.

also off topic but I KNEWWW it . googled it and lishala is part filipino. i KNEWWWW IT.

and also also. rygel. hmm. sometimes i forget he exists in the show and i sort of like... what they did with him in this episode, the uncomfortable elements notwithstanding. but im still v on the fence with him as a facet of the crew. ah well. anyways

strange new worlds episode 1 commentary!

the excessively american militaristic vibe of those aliens... this is gonna be a thing isn’t it

i would let christopher pike do unspeakable things to me. especially with that beard. that’s all i’ll say on that

i really like the theme music but i wish it was a bit peppier

enough of the straight spock bullshit i’m uncomfy

shuttle stamets??????

LIEUTENANT KIRK????? WHAT

michael 😭

kinda sick of them to deprive me of love of my life una number one chin riley like this...

USS ARCHER AHHHHH

i’m really glad they’re not downplaying pike’s trauma and that they’re really having it impact his day to day life and leadership! love this fucked up little space man!

i love the doctors!!!

ok yes the excessively american militaristic vibes of those aliens is very much a thing... no subtlety here huh

wait i kinda love la’an... didn’t expect that

UHURA AND CHAPEL!!!!!!!!!

why am i crying real tears at the sight of una! why do i have such an intense connection to this character who’s only had like ten minutes of screen time!!!! i love her so fucking much

every time there’s even a slight southern twang in anson mount’s accent i actually go so feral what is wrong with me

“we called it the second civil war, then the eugenics war, and finally just world war iii” absolutely losing it at how usamerica centric this is lmaooo

wait.............. they really went there with ambiguous global disaster in earths history huh... 30% of the earth’s population....

THE PRIME DIRECTIVE OMG

the king jr.... is that.....

ok ignoring the whole war part of it... this story about the domes and the forests... cute

WAIT SAM KIRK????? IS THAT JIMS BROTHER?????????????

i love this stupid crew so much already

ok that was fun!! not quite as light and funny as i was expecting/hoping but it set up some interesting character dynamics and i really do already love this crew so much. feel like i’ve waited an eternity for this show and i’m so glad it’s finally here!!!!!! gonna post more about it tonight probably but for now i’ll leave it at this

edit: wait i was so busy being horny that i forgot to note that PIKE HAS A GIRLFRIEND? how am i supposed to get chaotically unattached flirty scenes between him and una now

another edit like 2 days later: upon rewatching that scene of him at the cabin i now realise captain batel isn’t actually his gf lmao they’re hot though good for them

#rosie watches snw #snw spoilers #oh and if anyone cant get param0unt+ and wants a Iink to downl0ad the episode hmu here or twitter #i'm grandhighwLtch on twitter btw
