Also there was pretty broad support for the move on the subreddit so idk why this user is accusing the mods of "power-tripping".

I didn't really love this episode. I agree with other users that it feels a bit more DIS than SNW s1. I think maybe because of the pacing &/or the action, or maybe just how OTT the plot is, like stealing the Enterprise should be a bigger deal than it is here imo, it just feels a bit ... almost routine? Also I feel like I am the only person on the internet with this opinion, but I really like Spock's relationship with his fiancée and I don't particularly care for the whole Spock/Chapel sub-plot, soooo I am sad to see that continuing. I also didn't enjoy the overtly -> overly emotive Spock, it reminded me of the films, and the Chapel nearly dying bit again felt more DIS than SNW s1. Also, I counted like four different occasions of somebody remarking on Spock being a very un-Vulcan Vulcan, which really felt like a bit much...?

It was very nice to see more of M'Benga, though. He is a great character and I felt like we didn't see enough of him in s1. It felt weird having very little Pike or Number One, though. I hope this is not going to be the standard going forward, it feels like going backwards after SNW seemed to spend a whole season trying to reassure us that they understood what people hadn't liked about DIS?

Oh also -- the new chief engineer seems cool.

I believe Beehaw has defederated from lemmy.world.

Fwiw, I am very happy to support the patreon but I don't feel great about it being attached to server perks. For some people $4/mo is nothing at all and for others it is genuinely significant. I don't want the Star Trek instance of all instances to be rewarding those who can afford to contribute financially.

I didn't realise how much I missed them until I read this comment.

Oh cool, ty very much, that's very helpful.

I disagree about Julian's parents. His mother definitely never comes across that way, and even to the extent that his dad does -- I think the episode encourages you to believe his mother when she tells him that they both were just worried about him and wanted what was best for him. It's clear they do love him, and that he loves them, however dysfunctional their relationship is.

Sadly I am in Australia and have the same difficulty with timezones wrt online games. But thank you. :)

What do you think is the ideal number of players? I really want to get a game going, but I feel like because of the way roles work in ST you really sort of need at least ... 4? And probably better for 5 or even 6? Most rulesets you can modify for fewer players but I don't think it's possible with STA sadly.

Strong agree on both counts.

Thank you. :)

Me too but at the same time I am so hyped for it I don't know if it's even possible lol.

I am so excited for SNW. Does anyone know which episode the LD crossover is going to be?

Yeah I think the "block 'em all and call it a day" feels like what it is to me. But to be fair even that is an improvement from what I had thought originally was just them not actually caring at all lol.

Having mainstream news sources reporting on this -- especially more financially-oriented ones like Forbes -- is actually a pretty good sign. Even though I am enjoying Lemmy more now that I have tried it anyway.

Surely not licensing issues that affect every single other region in the world, though? But you are right, I hadn't really thought about that angle.

It always feels especially odd for Paramount to pretend the US is the whole world when the IP is ST specifically.

This is so cool, congratulations.

Hrmmm interesting, ty!

is this still true even with s3? My friend has been trying to talk me into Picard for ages and they said s3 was good Star Trek.
