I cringe in horror at the idea of children using stainless steal straws. There’s so much potential for horrible accidents.

Church tithing doesn’t count as donating to charity, IMHO.

I don’t think that’s how it works

That’s a more recent phenomenon. These folk were retiring just as that culture was taking off.

Extraordinary classic fantasy books provided ignition for inspired creativity.

Caveman like enough?

While I think it was too early in the run for a musical episode, they pulled it off pretty well. Generally speaking, series should wait until at least season 5.

I suspect that there will be new characters and small subplots that will arise in future seasons that will never be set to music.

A little bit of Kirk us enough for this show. I’d really hate to see home become a major character. I also wonder why they cast a Jim Carrey doppelganger as James T. Kirk?

You have a point, but it got lost in the assholery of your reply. I too long for a little more of the hard SciFi and morality tales of Star Trek. The writers/producers try too hard to explore characters & relationships rather than the cool things that we can see/learn while exploring the galaxy - - all those strange new worlds.

I’m a bit older than you and gotta disagree one one point. The 50s was NOT an optomistic time for American SciFi. With the exception of “Forbidden Planet”, which heavily influenced TOS, 50s SciFi was dominated by paranoia, repression & fatalism. There were monsters under every rock. Our inability to control ourselves and our technology was dooming our future. The early 60s TOS was an optomistic breath of fresh air. Maybe we wouldn’t blow ourselves up after all

Longer seasons would allow them to throw in a few SciFi oriented episodes that don’t necessarily advance character arcs. Where would SNW be if TOS didn’t have the “Arena” (Gorn) episode that was based on a completely unrelated SciFi short story?

Mirror, Mirror was a SciFi episode that not only gave us the foundation for Discovery, but cemented the evil-twin-goatee trope into pupular culture.

Space Seed (Botany Bay/Khan) was also a one-off SciFi episode. Where would the entire franchise be without it?

I really hope SNW makes room for exploring the sort of SciFi ideas that Star Trek was originally based on.

Lol, older millenials never saw the early internet experience. UUCP, FTP, Gopher, Mosaic, et al.

Choosing an instance is no more confusing than choosing an email provider. I signed up on several right away. I figured I’d stick with the one I liked best, but since they all run the same software it makes little difference. One instance lost its domain, another is constantly being DOSed. Otherwise it’s simple.

I gotta disagree with you on one point: Facebook was never cool.

Unfortunately, there’s not enough of them even 8f they do disproportionately more harm.

How do you feel about i am actually chatbots?

Yo. Zz-up?

So it’s basically Reddit NFTs.

Nah, it can’t be an NFT with a cringy picture of an anthropomorphic animal and/or Trump attached.

Block chain is still a really cool solution in search of a problem to solve. Money wasn’t it. NFTs isn’t it. What is? Sports betting, maybe?

Are you saying that this doesn’t sound like ??? to you?

The AI was trained of Reddit comments, so what do you expect?
