Star Trek isn't Star Trek, but on occasion you may find that it's Star Trek.

No details about the format yet, as near as I can tell.

Interesting, isn't it? I saw a number of people making that same observation during one of the migration waves.

It's an interesting idea, but I wonder if the "Twitter-like" design of Mastodon is more appealing to brands than the "Reddit-like" design of Lemmy.

Yeah, I did think that was odd.

Hmm yeah it looks like they deleted it for some reason. I'll try to keep an eye out for whether it gets reposted.

I really don't get this. He doesn't resemble Jim Carrey at all, and he certainly doesn't act like him.

Per Memory Alpha,

In interviews the producers of Voyager have said they felt Locarno's actions in that episode made him "irredeemable". (TNG Season 5 DVD-special feature, Memorable Missions Year Five: "The First Duty")

It certainly would have been interesting to see what they did with her over time. I have my doubts that she ever would have become a very deep character, but I'm sure she would have had some decent episodes.

At the very least, they could have done more to explore her background in a more fulfilling way than they did with the episode featuring her sister.

 

I'm thrilled to announce that in eight months, !startrek@startrek.website has reached the 10 000 subscriber milestone.

Whether you're a local user or visiting from across the Fediverse, thank you for helping to make this a great place to be.

Whatever comes next, I'm confident it will have zero side effects.

Well, these were "very Short Treks", which were a different thing. Just a promotional gimmick, not genuine episodes the way the original Short Treks were.

The article is a little unclear, but it's very likely he was answering a question.

Automatic doors were invented in the 1930s.

"Flip phone"-style form factors were appearing in fiction in the 20s, and had started to appear in actual electronics by the 60s, albeit as full-sized telephones and radios.

The first stylus-friendly touchscreen became available in 1962, and the first patent for such a device was filed in 1946.
