Star Trek memes and shitposts
Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
Transcription: A side by side picture of Star Trek Strange New Worlds character Hemmer and The Next Generation character Geordi La Forge.
Hemmer isn't really "blind" though, he just sees in a different way than humans do
Geordi isn't really "blind" though, he just sees in a different way than other humans do
Not directly related, but my favorite exchange about human eyesight...
(Lt. Commander Data) "Sir, Lieutenant La Forge's eyes are far superior to human biological eyes, true?"
(Capt. Picard) "M-hm."
(Lt. Commander Data) "Then why are not all human officers required to have their eyes replaced with cybernetic implants?"
(Lt. Commander Data) "I see. It is precisely because I am not human."
Tbh I agree with Data. It's absurd that they don't go full AdMech and replace all their fleshy bits with machine bits. Maybe I just crave the strength and certainty of steel more than the average human.
Resistance is futile
Resistance is futile after all
Hemner isn't human.
I thought the blue skin and antenna gave it away.
It's the same amount of Vulcan science officers! (Maybe even 2½, if you count Burnham's upbringing)
'Hi we're Starfleet, and we recruit our captains from among the best and the brightest on 150 member worlds, spread over 8,000 light years! But the vast majority of the time, when it's not Jean-Luc Picard, we just get them from this one particular country that accounts for about 4% of the population of Earth. Weird, huh?'
Wait, are you counting T'Pol and Spock? What about Tuvok? He was a science officer on the Excelsior.
Spock is also half Vulcan, no? So it's 3 people and 2 Vulcans.
It's hard to be a blind tactical officer.
Tuvok kind of managed in the Year of Hell, didn't he?
Martok half managed it. He's not technically a tactical officer but he must count.
From which series is the left guy from?
Strange New Worlds
Ah… Paramount plus, there are to many streaming services.
All the big companies who owned a majority of cable television channels have all essentially created their own streaming service
Paramount/CBS: Paramount+
Disney/ABC: Disney+
NBC/Comcast: Peacock
Fox: not aware if they have a major one
CW/WB/Discover: HBO Max
Then of course the conpanies that spawned from streaming services.

Before that, we had all their content together available on Netflix. Like it should be.
Imagine if each record label would do their own streaming service and pull their content from Spotify, YouTube music and Apple music.
Would all 3 take the Netflix way and start producing their own bands?
Music is still not being pirated as much as before Spotify & co existed. The streaming model still works.
I have a feeling that now, that the streaming model for movies & series got more confusing and more expensive than before, the seas will be full of pirates again.
I loved having all of Star Trek together on Netflix, together with everything else. Just like it is with music, it was somehow very comforting having such a good service for the money paid.
Is trek not available on Netflix in other countries? I'm in Canada and we have TNG, Voyager, TOS, and DS9 on Netflix.
Actually we have all those still in Germany - also TAS. I should have phrased it better - i meant new Star Trek, like lower decks, SNW, Picard, Discovery & Prodigy
I watched the few first episodes and didn't hate it but wasn't really interested where it was going. Is it worth watching the rest?
It's widely regarded as the best of the new trek shows.
First season is really good. Second is a bit hit and miss.
Huh. I would say literally the exact opposite.
Same. The second season the show really begins to stretch its legs.
Season one every episode was solid 4-4.5 stars. Season 2 had a real mix, mostly hitting around 4 stars but with one that's got to make its way into the top ten episodes of all time, and one that's got to make it into the bottom ten.
