Just watched an episode where they literally went to a section of space completely absent of all energy and matter and still somehow met this
I scrolled down and I was jumpscared by this. XD
Well, it was supposed to be where no 'man' has gone before, but people had to whine about it, and here we are.
I'm just realizing that the wording change made humans seem REALLY pretentious!
Star Empire leaking, if it ain't human it ain't no one.
I mean, isn't this basically what every European did in the Americas and Africa?
Columbus: "Look, I'm the first human being ever to set foot here!"
200 Taíno people staring at him wondering WTF was going on
Columbus: "Look, I planted a flag, that way if anyone else ever comes here, they'll know this is Spanish land now."
There are parts where no one has gone, but landing on a barren rock probably isn't a good story
I'm struggling to come up with an example of them landing on a barren rock and anything neutral or positive happening. It's almost always bad
It doesn't have to be a barren planet it could also be a planet with no intelligent life. Maybe a solar system with that's void. Idk
Well, sure - the times it turned out fine don't make for an interesting story!
They said no "one". They can go places as long as there are many things there.
Colonizer mindset.
Huh...
...
huh...
TOS came out at a time when people still talked of Columbus discovering america.
TOS came out at a time when Columbus was still being held in high regard. :)
To be fair, it would be a boring show if they didn’t.
Ship enters orbit of a planet
‘Spock, what do our scans show?’
‘Intense geologic activity, no atmosphere, no life signs.’
Ship spends the next 3 months in orbit collecting data, moves on to the next target
‘Spock, what do our scans show?’
‘Planet is frozen, no geologic activity, no life signs.’
Ship spends the next 3 months in orbit collecting data
Realistic sci fi is waaayyy too boring for a general audience.
The aliens didn't go there though. They're just there.
I choose to believe that it's usually like that, and we're just seeing the days where something interesting happens.
Hey look, it's Starfield!
I'm glad you made this comment because I was about to.
Starfield, a surprisingly great framework for a game from Bethesda, but they forgot to put the actual game inside it
Todd spent all their time and money making sure the game was utterly impossible to see without a 3000 dollar OLED monitor (that LUT was a monstrosity).
I fully agree with this, but at the same time I just sort of assume any Bethesda game is gonna require a kind of baseline mod setup just to be comfortably playable, so that almost felt like par for the course to me 😅
More power to them, but I will genuinely never understand how people can play Skyrim or Fallout 4 unmodded or on console. I can see New Vegas unmodded, but that ain't Bethesda anyway.
Unmodded Fallout: New Vegas gameplay
I did use Neutral LUTs when I tried it, which at least made it not give me a splitting headache, but sadly it did nothing to fix the other issues. I got like 10-15 hours into the main story so I'd like to think I at least gave it a fair shot.
I mean the original line was "where no man has gone before" which at least made sense, although it didn't represent the female crew very well.
Yes, it did though. Women, too, are human.
English uses 'man' and 'mankind' interchangeably.
Grammatically, 'no man' makes more sense than 'no one.'
I've always thought it was an odd change. I get why they did it, but the original clearly wasn't being used in the way the change implies.
It has the same energy as saying that you can't use the term "whitelist" and must substitute "allowlist", or "master bedroom" to "primary bedroom", or that time they changed "monkeypox" to "m-pox".
"Master bedroom" being changed is such a silly one. That term wasn't even used until the 20th century and referred to the master of the household. It has nothing to do with slave masters.
"I am no man!" Says the female crew, who proceeds to stab the space Nazgul in the eye.
It was a list:
Boldly yes, but It's been a long road gettin' from there to here.
Where no MAN has gone before. Therefore plenty of space chicks
That was in TOS. They changed it to no one in TNG
Star Empire vibes, if they're not human they're no one.
