I'll go further and say I'm not in favor of remasters. I want everything original, low res warts and all. Tasteful enhancements don't really bother me much, but I'm just as happy with the original versions, and consider them a record of history.
I've never been to a con, and likely never will, but it's a lot of work for an actor to be there. They take time out of their lives, have to be charming, and operate the assembly line of autographs on a multi day event. I'm not sure there's a clearly correct answer, but them being there is a real job with real work. Having them do it all gratis is a big ask.
Voting is garbage. It's a cancer on all these type sites. Deciding the value of a post only requires basic literacy, and someone else's opinion is irrelevant. I only upvote posts as a reward to the author. It isn't for anyone else. Others should read the post and decide for themselves what value it has.
I don't like musicals either, and I enjoyed it. Adding an exception to "I've seen all of the $tv_series" is kind of lame. Maybe you won't like it, but it only takes an hour to find out. I've spent way worse hours in my life than watching a tv show I generally like with a dud episode.
Pretty silly episode. I'm not a fan of musicals, and I was dubious going in, but it was fun. They managed to make it as good as a musical could be for my tastes. I'm happy it was made, and I'm happy to have seen it. That's about the highest praise I could give for something like this.
I like the idea in the abstract, but actually meeting them would make me extremely uncomfortable, and the anxiety would be no fun. Having it be a setup "thing" makes it all weird and awkward. If they randomly sat next to me at a bar or something, I could talk to them no problem.
We'll see... Can't say I'm stoked, but maybe it'll be better than I anticipate. I'm not really a fan of musicals in the first place. I could count the ones I find 'acceptable' on one hand, and can only think of two atm. If it turns out merely 'acceptable' I'll be happy enough. Hopefully the actors had fun.
I *really* hate the transparent consoles they use in new Trek. I would be so angry being forced to work on one those ~8 hours per day. How can you see anything with zero contrast and background disruptions?! Like trying to read a web page with a movie going on behind it.
My computer terminal is at 75% opacity just for the novelty and visuals, but it makes it harder to work with. I wouldn't have it if I were working in the terminal all day.
Janeway is my favorite part of Prodigy. I had a vague notion she was on the show, but when she made her appearance, I was "Janeway! \o/"
I avoid talk, trailers, and everything else for new Trek I want to see. I want the first time I see something to be in the correct context, and to be somewhat of a surprise. Makes it more fun.
It ain't over til it's over. I'm expecting s02 one way or the other, and I'm hoping for more after that.
I had looked into creating a post on lemmy from mastodon, and I read something that said it couldn't be done. Proceeds to create a post on lemmy... :^S
I guess I was reading outdated info :^D
Lists do seem to work well for organization, but mastodon isn't the best platform for lemmy. It works for limited use, but a dedicated lemmy account would be better.

S03 is up there with the best of Trek. I liked 01 & 02 also, but that's me. They're hard to recommend. I absolutely recommend 03, and the other two seasons aren't prerequisites.

I just got way more interested in the show. Notaro and Picardo are fantastic. Whatever they do, it'll be worth it to see those two.
