Makes more sense but I assumed you were being sarcastic anyway, which in that context made me lol pretty hard.

This was actually a pretty funny comment and I feel like everyone missed it.

Discovery also had hologram communication technology that I guess was also a secret? Starfleet went back to flatscreens for everything and didn’t use holograms again until the 24th century.

If it was just one thing, okay, but there were such numerous inconsistencies, it was like the writers and designers did not care about trek, they were writing a sci-fi show with the trek name slapped on top.

It’s totally possible to respect the heritage of old sci-fi - look at The Mandalorian and Andor - maintaining consistency with the old retro sci-fi aesthetic actually elevates them above what a modern redesign would have done.

No journalists on the ground found any indication of a mass casualty event on Tiananmen Square

ON Tiananmen Square. This is fascist-level wordplay. The same journalists found a massacre all around Tiananmen Square in the rest of Beijing.

no evidence that Chinese tanks actually killed anyone on 6/4

This is just a straight up lie. Lots of people were killed in Beijing. Just possibly not any within the tiny physical confines of Tiananmen Square itself.

supporters of Israel and the US are both “tankies.” Glad we agree, good talk!

Based af, the tankies who support Chinese and Russian imperialism are equivalent to the tankies who support US and Israeli imperialism.

Yeahhhhhh, historically, the original Treks just did NOT understand how to properly utilize FEEEMAALE characters, from the writers to ahem the producers. coughfuckbermancough

TNG: awful writing for the women

DS9 and VOY: amazing writing, some of the best women characters in TV history

ENT: nosedive back to awful writing for women

DSC: awful writing for everyone

PIC: tiny bit of redemption for the women mistreated in TNG

LD&SNW: modern and consistently non-terronly writing

6x15 Tapestry

PL brought a trait system overhaul, cyberware overhaul, and combat overhaul that dramatically changed up the gameplay loop even in the core game.

The story was always amazingly crafted, but the game never warranted a second play through. Now it does.

Keeping it spoiler free: at one point my female V was walking past a bunch of the Barghest gang who were non-aggressive, but making degrading comments. One said something about “coming back on all fours” and I turned around and mono-wired his head right off. The entire gang went aggro and I had to kill about 50 of them. Worth it, will do it again next playthrough.
