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.

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.

Fan Made Shows/Movies?

@startrek

Any particular shows people here like watching? I've seen Renegades and a few others. I'm currently in the middle of Phase II. The special effects impress me for the budgets involved, and the writing/acting makes me appreciate the professionals more :^P I don't want to shit on any of them though. The effort is solid, and they're still an enjoyable watch.

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.

Ok, so I'm trial following @startrek and I'm getting a torrent(<a bit of hyperbole) posts in my home page. How do you people that follow hundreds/thousands handle this? Just ignore most of what flows down the page?

I've tried to be careful curating the people I follow, and it was fairly manageable til today. Trying to avoid setting up a lemmy acct, but StarTrek is only gonna get more active, and there's more to life than StarTrek :^O How to manage?

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.
