Modern TV is so expensive to make that a flashy show like SNW is doing well if it can average ten episodes per year. On that basis alone I want them to do new stories. I wish they would lean a little less on TOS sometimes too. Maybe then they'd have time to write some scenes for Ortegas.

Picking out all the continuity issues in season one of TOS makes a fun drinking game. Balance of Terror also had the crews of both ships whispering like they were worried they could hear each other. lol

Some of the continuity changes, especially to the characters, feel like improvements to me. Chapel and T'Pring are far more interesting in SNW. They don't just feel like walking tropes as they usually did in TOS.

Speaking of design, I like what they did with the sound in DIS and SNW. They hail someone and it starts with the TOS sound and ends with the TNG sound. They have lots of sounds blended from the different eras and it works surprisingly well.

Why didn't you use the way they spoke in the film?

Valeris: "A lie?"

Spock: "An exaggeration."

I agree about reference to our time, but the Lorca's Musk line works because he's from the mirror universe. I'm not sure that's what the writers intended, but I'll take it.

The Picard issue feels like most of what I hear online about it. I suspect in a few years the consensus on season 3 of Picard will have changed.

Yeah, I noticed before I watched and then told my fellow trekkie friends I thought it would be time travel. My reasoning was the only episode of any Trek I could remember that contained the words "yesterday" or "tomorrow" and didn't involve time travel was "Return to Tomorrow." Called it.

Btw, it was a good episode of The Orville. :)

It's not sufficiently intuitive yet because not everything you can do is reachable by a link. For example, this instance automatically shows us many communities from beehaw.org because users from here have subscribed to them. However, we don't automatically see every community there, and even if we browse their main page from this instance we don't have a link to browse all their communities. It didn't take me long to work out I had to browse beehaw.org from a separate browser tab to see all the communities I could search from startrek.website and subscribe too, but that's too many steps for most people.

If I browse to a beehaw community from here and click the posts linked from their sidebar I end up on pages on their domain that don't know I'm logged into startrek.website. It just doesn't work seamlessly unless you're very web savvy or have even done some webdev before.

I say all this as someone who likes it here. I'm going to stay and I've pinned a browser tab here to replace my reddit tab, but Lemmy needs some dedicated work before people other than the rebellious, adventurous, and ancient net nerds like it.

I did the same. Sync can live in the depths of my app drawer for a while. Muscle memory just got me to write my first comment here. 🙂

The fact Reddit dominates the useful results of so many searches is a problem. That won't work as well with Lemmy because good posts live on different instances.
