Armada I had more interesting campaigns and what I really missed in A2 were little "surprises" like the Galaxy class ship (otherwise not part of the A1 fleet) with Spock aboard, Jem'Hadar, Son'a, Cardassians etc. In A2 there were no ships that were not part of the buildable fleet (except Ferengi)

Give me your favourite #StarTrek ship 🖖

Deadalus class

"In the hands of the Prophets" (DS9, season 1: Keiko vs. Vedek Winn over the question what to teach in science classes: sometimes Trek has to engage real world problems quite literally, so pages like GFR can't pretend that Trek is actually for conservatives and right-wingers

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · 10d

he (or at least the GFR-website) writes tsons of senseless (and mostly hateful) articles. If I remember correctly, lots of Burnam-hate was fed by this page even before S1 premiered

Erinnert mich an die ARD-Umfragen nach Beginn der Proteste gegen die CDU-Abstimmung mit der AfD. Da wurde eine Umfrage, die über vier Tage durchgeführt wurde, von denen nur der letzte nach der Ankündingung des CDU-Plans war, damit betitelt, dass es der CDU bei der Wählergunst nicht geschadet hätte.

Excellent location to open a museum on colonial history, gender studies and climate change

I just started to enjoy listening to Nighy's podcast and was considering getting a Discworld audiobook read by him...
Well, time and money saved, I guess

I read at first "who gets paid the most" and wanted to protest... then I read again

The line "A warrior's drink" comes to mind

my guess is that he has two cinema screens placed next to each other playing Star Trek and a random selection of 60's/70's/80's shows, both in slow motion...

Since "frogs" and "no kings" are appearing increasingly often together these days, I wanted to share that one of my favourite stop-motion picture is a short film by Wladislaw Starewicz:

Don't forget Netanyahu's former ally the Hamas is working on similar goals regarding Palestinians and Israelis. The cease fire is broken by both sides - Hamas shoots civilians and attacks Israeli soldiers and the IDF retaliates without care for civilian losses.

the drawing seems to show a Roman(?) soldier grabbing someone's shoulder who then lets go off his baloon he was holding... makes not much sense to me, but maybe to someone else?

In all cases, the "heros" had to fight against Starfleet or at least its Admirality. Picard S1 probalby went further on the dystopian road - to me an apparent reflection of Trump's first term. I just wanted to point this out in defence of S1. But yes, it did not deliver much more than this premise

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · 27d

Picard S1 (especially the first episodes) did actually made a great point about the fragility of the utopian society when threatened. It was very much in alignment with Measure of a Man (and sequels with ExoComs, Lal or Hugh) regarding Starfleet's readyness to deny recognition rights to "new life"

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · Sep 24

my favourite moment of the trailer: writing "Rewrite history" + immediate cut to Tuvix in the transporter room

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · Sep 21

It is actually one of my favourites... but it was a shame that the whole second half is just action and especially the face-off between Picard and Ruafo. They underused F. M. Abraham

Ist doch nur logisch: wenn der größte Vertreter des Rechts auf Meinungsfreiheit ermordet wird, dann sollte die Meinungsfreiheit gefälligst mit ihm gestorben sein. Und notfalls hilft die Regierung etwas nach

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · Sep 14

👀
Two good episodes (Shelat and Terrarium), some were okay, others terrible except for a few scenes

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · Sep 11

I don't think this will stop Netanjahu or Hamas from doing anything...

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · Sep 6

political and social commentary on current events as one would expect from a Star Trek series.
2) Sybok
3) a Daedalus class starship
4) more deep space exploration (no more being back at earth for dinner)
5) Timothy Dalton in SNW's first admiral gone mad story
6) Orion pirates + Tendi's ancestor

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · Sep 6

Things I would like to see in SNW Season 4 or 5:
1) Cardassia on the verge of becoming a fascist militarised society: we know that it happened at some point when Madred was a child so it might just fit into the timeline of SNW. It would be the perfect background for much needed and currently absent

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · Sep 5

Actually, SNW did exactly the same - the Gorn considered the Federation colony in "Hegemony" an invasion of their territory as well.

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · Sep 5

Yes, I liked that for this Gorn fighting its loneliness is more important than survival. Ortega's hostile reaction shifted towards cooperation a little too fast, but like her MacGyver skills she shows in this episode, I credit this to the idea that they actual learn something at Starfleet Academy

Kropotke🖖 @kropotke.bsky.social · Sep 5

That La'an would shoot a Gorn a first sight does not surprise - apart from her personal backstory, "Hegemony" established that this is Starfleet's tactics against the Gorn, now.

What bothered me was the unnecessary appearance of Metrons and the immediate skip to the Enterprise (no good bye scene)
