Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x01 "Dos Cerritos" & 5x02 "Shades of Green"English9·11 months agoAs a fan of mysteries, my mind tends to clasp onto details that writers felt important enough to mention, but had no bearing on the plot up to this point.
The fact that the ship Tendi recovered was a “medical frigate” triggered such an alarm in my head. Yes the ship was able to gas the Blue Orions, but that’s hardly a feature unique to medical ships.
We Know:
- Tendi wants to come back to help raise her niece.
- Tendi wants to be a captain
- The finale is going to have some tear jerking moments
- This is the last season.
I think we’re being prepped for the main cast to go their separate ways, not unlike the DS9 finale.
We’ve had some foreshadowing with Freeman and Starbase 80. I wonder if the finale might end with her being posted there, as an admiral. Fix it up, that sort of thing, rather than an exile.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Vice Press to Release Star Trek: Lower Decks Fine Art PostersEnglish3·11 months agoI really want the S5 set, and the S1 poster.
Not really sold on a full set at the moment.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Begins Production on Season 1English2·1 year agoIf we go by the gap between Strange New Worlds beginning filming, and S1’s release, we could see Academy around November of next year.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Colm Meaney Isn't Sure Star Trek Needs an Old Man Miles O'BrienEnglish3·1 year agoI feel like Dennis the buffer buff from the Lower Decks S3 Premiere was intended to be O’Brien, (Transporter enthusiast, war veteran) but for whatever reason it didn’t pan out…
… which I honestly felt worked out for the best. Dennis was like my grandpa.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•[Prodigy spoilers] 30 Years Later, Star Trek Finally Pays Off Its Strangest Sci-Fi TwistEnglish5·1 year agoDude, you’re missing out then. I was dubious going in, but Time Lord Wesley was the absolute delight I didn’t know I needed. Wheaton’s performance was probably leagues better than in TNG.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•Could any of the main characters of Prodigy have been affected by the Borg assimilation in Picard S3?English5·1 year agoRok would still be considered an adolescent, if the lore from Star Trek: New Frontier applies, from which her species was largely fleshed out.
At that age, she would be very gruff and moody, only after molting in her 30’s (I think?) would she regain her more bubbly personality.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Paul Giamatti Boards ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’English7·1 year agoNot impossible. Freeman was effectively the villain for S1 of Lower Decks, despite clearly being one of the good guys.
And Prodigy demonstrates how a personal vendetta can net some kids a nemesis, despite largely minding their own business.
I would recommend looking into a USB Ethernet adapter.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Nintendo@lemmy.world•[Official] Switch 2 will be announced this fiscal year + June direct confirmedEnglish9·1 year agoStar Fox tends to launch at the end of a console’s life… so there’s that maybe.
Sakurai has been up to something… probably the next Smash, but I can always dream it’s a new or even remade Kid Icarus.
And probably some last minute WiiU ports.
Metroid Prime 4 is probably too high profile to leave to the switch… (and Mario hasn’t had a launch title since the N64, maybe GCN at a stretch) but they could always pull a Twilight Princess I suppose.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Preview ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5 Premiere With New “Red Directive” & “Under The Twin Moons” ImagesEnglish1·1 year agoThey’re all beautiful shots, but something about them doesn’t leave me curious about their contexts. I wish I could articulate it better….
Like maybe it’s not enough of a tease?
Or maybe that you could’ve told me most of those shots were from S4 and I wouldn’t question it?
Or the lack of a contextual caption maybe?
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•‘BioTrekkie With The Admiral’ YouTube Series Returns For ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5English3·1 year agoLethe. That’s who I was thinking of. Like Cornwell was Lethe before she became Lethe.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•‘BioTrekkie With The Admiral’ YouTube Series Returns For ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5English3·1 year agoWasn’t Cornwell based on a character from TOS, specifically with the same name as an episode title in DIS?
I always felt there was the intent to kill her off, (even before the S2 finale) only to bring her back as an incomplete being.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Difference Between Nerd and GeekEnglish47·1 year agoIf this is a joke, it’s going over my head. But as I understand it:
Geek: Socially Acceptable, Really smart about a particular topic, or in general. Nerd: Socially awkward, really smart about a topic or in general. Dork: Socially awkward, not especially bright.

At the very least least it tells us where Carl dropped Georgiou off.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Breaking - Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 Is Out Now In France! – Trek CentralEnglish8·2 years agoI would recommend two pins.
One being the season one you’re proposing… and a second for a focal episode to discuss and cycle it out every two days.
So for the first two days we’d focus on the first episode (episodes? It’s a two parter) then the pin would be swapped with the next episode.
This would allow more in depth discussion while acknowledging binge watching.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 250% higher.English4·2 years agoI feel like this is a large portion of the missing puzzle pieces. The difference between real world and advertised ICE stats are somewhat padded, but not significantly. You’d expect the hybrids to have a similar degree of discrepancy, but it’s wildly out of range of expectations. It may simply be that the manufacturers are giving idealized stats, since while testing they would have access to their personal charger in a laboratory environment. But in the real world, owners cannot guarantee working/accessable chargers or even that they can charge at home, which would dramatically impact the results of this study.
Or at least, I’d assume that’s the case in the US. I don’t know what EU’s charging infrastructure is like, where the study was preformed.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 250% higher.English23·2 years agoTBH, the most astonishing reveal from the study for me was that Hybrid owners weren’t charging their vehicles. Unfortunately, the why isn’t covered in the study since it seems to just be hard math and statistical analysis.
Are they just not plugging in at night?
Too frustrated with the battery draining too quickly?
Driving too far for the battery to meaningfully contribute between charges?
Is the extra hardware mass making the ICE that much less efficient?
Laziness from having to fill both the battery and the gas tank?
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 250% higher.English23·2 years agoTo be fair, I’m really just judging the EC’s article writer. Not the trustworthiness of EC or the study itself.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 250% higher.English136·2 years agoWhen I saw the headline, I thought this was clickbait, since the headline and the linked article avoided quantifying how much CO2 the vehicles said they consumed vs the real world usage.
If you dig into the cited materials, it turns out it wasn’t hyperbole.
That said, I still consider it extremely poor form to omit the information the study was centering its argument around.
Debatable.
TNG did have a crossover with a forgotten sitcom named Webster. https://blog.trekcore.com/2015/03/tng-webster-crossover/
And who can forget Voyager having a wrestling episode.
