I feel a bit weird stimulating that community myself, because I don't live there any more. It was really nice to keep up with what was going on! And some people do post on Lemmy...but not enough.

Well said. Archer could have been such an interesting character who grows throughout the series, and I think that was much of the original plan, but I think the writers were straight up exhausted from TNG - DS9 - VOY for like 30 years and gave up trying.

9/11 allegory with the Xindi - I mean, it was a pretty big event and it's only natural for America's biggest sci fi show to try and tackle it. The Xindi arc was interesting and I think really good in some parts - but it didn't feel like Trek to me. This wasn't the show to try it on.

I feel so bad for Scott Bakula. This was going to be an absolutely defining role for him but he was given nothing to work with, and was cut loose right when the interesting stuff started showing up. I really want him to get another chance to shine, with some decent writing up to the calibre of Strange New Worlds at least.

I think there will be a lot of confused people trying to access Reddit. We might get a few stragglers but I think word of mouth is better for getting people involved - ie messaging them to come over.

Quality over quantity, absolutely!

I'm not from Melbourne, but it's great to see Melbourne people using their Fedi alternative to Reddit. The Brisbane one is dead!

Thank you, this is great advice

Yeah if I had full warranty I would be happy taking a punt but not sure I should take the risk... probably better to wait for a sale

I think it's going to suck. The city is going to collapse under the weight of it all - roads jammed, public transport breaking down. Call me a disaster monger but if something drastic isn't done to the make the city better connected it's done for.

Nothing else to say other than this is an interesting plan! I would really love to see the original cast return.

You're right...I am thinking it would basically be a reboot. Or some kind of time shenanigans which change history. Not sure.

I've been looking for the Good That Men Do for a while, no luck yet...but I hear it's good!

They kind of had to get up to speed quickly to even have a fighting chance against the enemy of the week. To be fair, when they went up against the Xindi it was pretty clear the NX-01 had barely any chance, it was in pieces.

Some of the best moments of the series was when they'd rig up something out of the primitive tech they had like the grappler and figure out a way to punch way above their weight in fights. So I don't think they fully lost the scrappy underdog status.

You got us. It's all an act - Australia is just a sham to stop you finding out about how nice New Zealand is. That whole "cute little lord of the rings island" thing? It's to make you underestimate us.

This is super interesting. Thanks for sharing!
