Honestly, it took me a second to even realize this wasn’t just an unedited scene from LD.

That was a fun listen. We’ll see where this goes.

I think it’s less “I’m not the target audience” and more if you’re going to do a Star Trek [insert genre/target audience] show, do it right.

It’s certainly possible to create an intelligent pre-school show that isn’t painful for adults to watch. Take Bluey, for instance. Toddlers love that show, but it also has a cult following among the adults that watch it with their kids, and the style doesn’t look like every single other kids television series on the air.

In comparison, Scouts has a cheap-looking generic style I’ve seen before, and the plots we’ve seem are absolutely brain-dead and superficial. Sure, maybe we don’t need the kids to talk at length about the subspace plasma inverter matrix manifolds or whatever, but that doesn’t mean the show can’t be more than just bright colors and barely coherent plots. It just doesn’t do any justice whatsoever to what Star Trek is.

My sister called this an abomination… and she’s the one who sees redeeming qualities in DISCO (I do too, but I think she likes Disco more than me).

From what I’ve read, I agree. This seems to be purely oriented towards iPad babies, which is horrid; these kinds of shows let their child viewers be dumber than they actually are.

I’d much rather have a Craig of the Creek-esque show about a group of kids having fun and going about their lives on a starbase while their parents deal with big Starfleet stuff in the background, hinting at something bigger going on as a mystery for parents and smart kids to solve. The kids never save the entire Federation or something hokey like that; at most, we have something like a Picard stuck in the turbolift with three children and a broken leg during red alert situation every once in a while.

No, seriously. These are the kinds of episodes that really make you want to have Rick Berman “as a guest” in the trunk of your car before “taking him for a nice swim” in the river.

I think it gets good when he goes from unintentionally annoying to well-meaningly annoying.

I don’t know; I’d rather watch all of Discovery than some of the horniest Enterprise episodes…

Except Metro Center got torn down.

One of deez days, one of deez days, chicken and ice cream

I press X, and they make up some BS about how your unorthodox solution changes the warp geometry in just the right way. Picard gives you some sort of rant about being more careful in the future, a neutral relationship impact. Meanwhile, Chief tactical Lieutenant Murder-Anything-That-Isn’t Human is so impressed their bio now says they want to marry you, though you know that will quickly change to shove you out an airlock unless you are a total psychopath.

I think I largely agree with your points.

I’m also really annoyed that the choice tree required a website that no longer works. Additionally, for the overall results of the graphics, I’m rather bugged the game is that hardware intensive and think they could have easily optimized to make this game more accessible to lower-end hardware. I did my entire playthrough on an AMD laptop with iGPU (on Linux through Proton), and it was mostly playable.

However, it was still really fun, and I only payed $12.50 for it.

Honestly, ENT looks pretty good. I mean, not as good as TOS remaster, but being done natively in 720p (and even 1080 in later seasons), it doesn’t look that bad.

I like to imagine there’s just another Musk that’s better known in the Trek universe…

Funny, but I personally prefer in in the original Klingon:

Surely that’s got to be in the replicator database; I mean, I think it would be a big mess up on the part of the Obsidian Order if Seska didn’t at minimum have an opinion on jumja sticks, if not eat them frequently enough to get it programmed into the replicator.

I’m tired of multiverse plots, but I might make an exception if it allows them to bring Hemmer back without too severely messing up the overall plot of the show.

Oh, whoops. I guess I made a mistake in the Inkscape export. Guess I’ll fix that eventually.

In Archer’s case, yes.

However, Paris stole directly from the dealership, apparently.

Most aliens have forehead ridges; some, like Tandarand, have giant cheeks. But the humans, they have… pronounced philtrums!

I was actually going through the audiobook of this trying to gather and classify enough data to fine tune a Piper TTS voice of the Star Trek computer.

Haven’t finished it yet, but maybe one day. While I normally would have ethical qualms about commanding the likenesses of the dead, they actually did try to collect voice data before Majel Barrett died; unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to actually pull it off, but the attempt feels as close to consent for this sort of thing as one can get.
