It still baffles me that Star Trek Voyager Threshold was ever considered the worst Trek episode. It’s is a delightful sci fi B movie, has an incredible performance from Robert Duncan McNeill and decides to unapologetically go completely insane in the last 5 minutes.

"i hate a popular thing" is mostly boring sooooo instead tell me the piece of media you love despite everyone else hating it me? i have many, but the two that spring to mind are Milla Jovovich film Ultraviolet which i own twice accidentally, PS3 game NeverDead, and Super Mario Bros. (film, 1993)

One of the annoying and misguided things about modern fandom - say Star Trek and Star Wars - and they view the lore as something that can only encompass things they've already seen. When you show them something they haven't seen before, they don't go, "ahhh, interesting." theysay, "Canon violation!"

When they put out the backer survey, I suggested that adding this for free would be a good way of getting back some fan goodwill considering the complete lack of comms and the fact the doc is 3 or 4 years overdue at this point. Alas. Pay $25.

Dude, I try not to be cynical but when I already pay a ton of money years ago and I still haven’t gotten my disc and they wanna hit me up for $25 more freakin dollars for a BONUS DISC?! 🤯😡 I just don’t get it.

Yay, “Wonderlands”! My #StarTrekDiscovery book about what Burnham did on her gap year in the far future. It’s like a mini-series entry before S3. You should definitely get it and maybe even read it too.

Louder please, for the people at the back. Poor/bad writing is a thought terminating cliché used to shut down constructive discussion. I’m so happy that somebody (Una McCormack no less) has managed to craft such an eloquent response to its usage.

And l’m afraid at the end of the day I simply don’t find “flaws in the writing” a helpful way of reflecting critically on TV: “What is trying to be achieved given the extraordinarily complex production environment” seems a much more fruitful question to me.

There was a #StarTrekProdigy Art Book in the works. I was going to co-write it. It went into limbo when it was removed from Paramount+ with uncertainty if Season Two would find a home. Then more uncertainty when Paramount was merging with Skydance. If you want it — Trek fans should rally for it!

That said, if they don't release a #StarTrekProdigy art book it will be a literal crime.
