One thought just occurred to me... let's say "Khan Noonien Singh" as a real person was made up because Roddenberry just didn't want to let the execs win. Why would he then name Dr. Soong what he did in TNG? He couldn't have liked those strings of syllables that much...?

I don't think you can go wrong with either one! I love TNG and rewatch it constantly. You're right that TOS has fewer takers but I'm sure there will be some who will want to re-watch to refresh their memories on the details of the episodes. My partner and I rewatched Balance of Terror, the Cage, Arena, and Space Seed because of SNW. I'm sure others wouldn't be here if we weren't down to discuss any Trek in some way.

I feel like with this instance being this small right now, it would probably not be best use of resources to create a community just for a handful of people that would do it. It might work if you can guarantee like 30 people will engage during the 40-ish minutes of an episode. For now, wouldn't it be better to test interest by creating your own viewing party posts in the main !startrek community and go from there?

From what I understand, admins here are literally paying out of pocket AND volunteering their time to host us. Just as when I invite my friends over to my house for a BBQ, if one of them brings a friend that starts shitting in my pool, I tell them to GTFO and probably stop hosting BBQs for a while even though my friends who DIDN'T shit in my pool still end up suffering the consequences.

Thanks, current Fediverse admins!

Wow, can I just add all the communities from mander.xyz and then filter out what I don't want? I like the content but I'm starting to try to consolidate my testing IDs into one instance. It's a feature that I have to purposely go add other communities on other instances and the only "defaults" I get are the ones on my local instance?

I wonder if there is a way to have a feed that is startrek.website + mander.xyz but exclude other non-sciencey discourse from ala .world or .ml. "All" right now does not options to filter those out...

Which 3 did you like?

My initial reaction is that that story was told very well and Christina Chong was phenomenal at acting it out too. But I think I need more time to actually digest the ramifications of what just happened to her too... yikes.

I don't know how to express that I'm shrieking like a teeny bopper from the late 90s for this via text, but just imagine that's what I was doing for a full minute and 57 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
