Yeah, I have no idea how that stuff will work if instances are running different versions.
Federation is an imperfect thing, but hopefully we'll get this sorted soon enough.
A couple of weeks ago, federation from .world fell behind by about 3 days if you can believe it.
We (and other instances) do tend to have issues with lemmy.world from time to time - I think it's a combination of their sheer size, and some geographical quirks that can slow things down.
Right now, it looks like federation from them to us is fine, but content from us to them is taking about 19 hours to go through.
I can look into this, but there's a high chance that we'll have to just wait for it to settle down.
Does it get any better than Dadmiral Vance?
No doubt assisted by the bloody cut on the throwing hand of Blue Bombers’ starting QB, Zach Callaros, in the 3rd quarter.
No question, though it seemed like the Bombers sort of lost the plot at halftime. Maybe they enjoyed the Jonas Brothers a little too much.
I'm a little surprised by the appearance of SB 80 - its interiors are obviously very 2260s, but the exterior appearance seems incongruent with that.
Villengard. So hot right now.
I don't think it was.
Let's be honest: at this point, they could make the greatest Star Trek film of all time, and it would only be 1/47 as entertaining as watching the executives at Paramount Pictures stepping on infinite rakes in infinite combinations as they try to make the damn thing.
I think this is an extremely lousy headline, but the content is good.
Firstly, the headline slightly misquotes what Matalas actually said (emphasis added):
“We wrote nine episodes at one point and the network was like, ‘No, we don’t really understand this, it’s a bit too sci-fi, it’s a bit too in-Star Trek.’”
I think a story being a little too "inside baseball" and reliant on stuff from decades ago is a perfectly valid note, especially when we're talking about ideas like this:
The idea was that Guinan’s bar was presented as a normal bar in Los Angeles, but if you knew the right thing to do, you could go into the back through the telephone phone booth and that was Rick’s Café and it was a stopping point for all these different species that were actually there on Earth with a ‘Do not interfere’ thing happening.
The stuff about COVID messing with the writing and shooting schedule is understandable, and created problems that can be seen in many TV shows filmed around that time. All the same, it makes me wish they had decompressed the schedule and not rushed through things as much as they did.
The comments about there being a lot of different ideas in season two are interesting, since I think she overall series' biggest flaw is that it crammed a lot of ideas, many of which I like quite a bit, into only 30 episodes, with few (none?) of them being fully explored.
And regarding the Jurati Borg...I don't know, I never found that confusing in the slightest. I think their intent came through just fine.
I assume they're returning to their truck to retrieve some sort of accelerant.
My expectations for this one were high, but I'm really impressed with how well they pulled it off. Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid did a great job of dialing their performances back just enough, and the SNW cast went just a little bit broader.
This was another decent episode. I have to say, though, I don't think this season is "hitting" for me quite as much as past seasons.
