Groundhog Day

Aye! For me, I have two keys I toggle back-and-forth through most of the engagement. One keybind is set for all my attack powers in a specific order, then all of my heals/buffs in a specific order. I press one, then press the other, then the first, then the second, again and again.

I also have "spacebar" for attacks, but those are my trigger finger powers for specific "shots".

Agreed. I would have loved to have that kind of callback to the story.

[-] Indy@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

That was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for providing the links to the various segments!

[-] Indy@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

Well said. And it's been an enjoyable journey throughout.

Some of the stories have been lackluster here and there, but that in itself is Star Trek. Not every show/game/story is going to be for everyone, yet beautifully all are welcome as trekkers/trekkies.

Groundhog Day

[-] Indy@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

I love this! Now you need to do an analysis like this one on Star Trek and the Bechdel-Wallace test!

TOS is already a rough rewatch with some of its acting and portrayals of the future. I can't imagine how tough it would be to rewatch it through that lens. Haha!

I realize you’re not trying to predict quality, just personal enjoyability, but I do wonder how it relates to quality.

I don't mean for this to measure quality. To each their own, as they say. After all, it is just entertainment and I'm free to watch anything else or skip this or that episode. This is all just a fun observation for me, much like a discussion on the finer points of warp theory or Federation economics.

Still, I'm glad it's something that clicked for you too. I figured there would be a number of people whose appreciation of Trek relates to this "test".

[-] Indy@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

I like that too. I'm not sure it would counter these "rules".

How would you propose phrasing a rule for that non-Fed criteria?

[-] Indy@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

To be fair, I think every series has a lot of episodes that would fail this test, some of which were excellent, like DS9’s “In the Pale Moonlight”, and “Far Beyond the Stars” or TNG’s “The Inner Light”, but if used to assess a series, I think this could be a good metric.

Indeed, "In the Pale Moonlight" is one I thought of which fails as well. I still think it makes a good measure to see how many episodes of a show pass/fail overall. Only to see if it's really about the whole crew or mostly one character. (Arguably, early TNG comes really close to being Star Trek: Wesley while mid/late TNG comes close to Star Trek: Data.)

[-] Indy@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

I wholeheartedly agree. Well said!

[-] Indy@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

Hahaha

I was wondering (and hoping) someone would post some meme like that in reply.
