Please elaborate.

I enjoyed the episode well enough as a gimmick. It was clear the cast really enjoyed themselves and I’m glad we get episodes like this.

I am a fan of musicals and musical theatre. While it’s nice to see them have a go, it certainly is one of the musicals of all time. Nothing impressed me. It wasn’t particularly inspiring or interesting. Forcing that dreadful auto tune on several of the characters felt even worse. It would have felt charming for them to not necessarily nail every note. In the end, I now see in retrospect why the marketing for this episode contained none of the musical numbers; the executives might have thought it would put people off.

I never mind when a good Star Trek show does an average episode because I’m always happy to see more of the characters I love.

After last weeks episode, which in my opinion could be one of, if not the best Star Trek has done in 30 years, I feel like they can take the small L here.

If the concern is that fewer people are watching commercial television, then the pressure should be placed onto anyone with a streaming service instead.

I respectfully disagree with you entirely. Patrick offered up many good points, but his best came from his breakdown of exactly how the AI might do a better job of using Wes Anderson tropes. Matter of fact, your recount of the video is so wildly different from my viewing, it’s hard to believe you’ve written your post in good faith. I wonder, what do you know that I don’t know?

Thanks for the suggestion, I have been using wefwef, now renamed voyager, and while I am appreciating it I cannot move past that it’s a web app.

But… You are in 196

Oh really? Then I’m going to guess you won’t like it since it has changed and kept changing.

Yesn’t?

It kinda improved but it’s also Star Trek discovery still so your mileage will depend on how you feel about that.

It’s fun to see them getting it from all angles, but the users really should just get out of there since it’s obvious nothing is going to significantly change. The loudest and most effective protest of all is to just leave- but people don’t like the effort it takes to change something in your routine like which site you doomscroll through.

Refer to the whole post and reconsider keeping this comment up, please. Whataboutism isn’t going to get you far with me.

It’s not uncommon to see people become so swept up on dogma that they lose sight of the humanitarian side of an argument. The simplest fact of the Ukrainian invasion is that it is, well, an invasion- and people are dying and a nation is losing its self-evidently valuable sovereignty.

I by no means rebut how obviously propaganda is wielded in the framing of this war; the narrative bias in the media is clear. It does not make the author by default correct to sanctimoniously act like everyone else is a bunch of dumb dumbs because you identified this.

You only need to ping in to your human side to see that what is happening is a tragedy, furthermore it’s clear the only one who has the stop button to this affair is the head of Russia’s government. You know who I refer to.

Shifting gears entirely, I’d like to peel back the tone and intent of the article as well as the OP who shared this. What is your intent in sharing the article? Without knowing what you mean exactly, I feel that I can’t properly engage in the conversation, you know? What is the relation to communism here besides the clear (and frankly fair) disparaging of the American government’s goals and intent in the narrative being written around the war?

That’s a thoroughly convincing perspective. I suppose we will never truly know the story for sure behind what OP said, but I would like to give the benefit of the doubt that perhaps these conversations were had respectfully at an appropriate time and place. But also, knowing the bad-faith approach many take when talking about trans rights, it is hard not to lean on the possibility that there is mal-intent.
