As an ENT fan, excellent choices 👌

That’s Zalbag on the right, but Dycedarg has a beard, and a frumpy robe too I think.

Ahh gotcha thanks for explaining, I’m sure I saw their posts in my feed then.

Fare thee well internet stranger 🍻

Sorry I’m still new here, I can’t decode this meme. One of the mods is no longer active?

an impromptu thread concerning beans

I will see my dream come alive at last 🎵

I will touch the beans 🎶

And after he beans back out:

Lord! It’s a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind!

“The house I grew up in was built by the Dublin Corporation,” Meaney says.

“How could we build houses then and can’t build them now?.. It’s fking Thatcherism, Reaganism, the neoliberals and the trickle-down economy that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael both bought into, [the idea] that the market will sort everything out. B***ocks.”

Our boy doesn’t hold back and I’m here for it!

#8: the real me

#9: the daily performance

Throughout several episodes in the first two seasons of Enterprise, the Suliban draw Captain Archer into the Temporal Cold War. That sounds cool, but the execution of the Suilban falls flat, starting with their design. They look like they’re covered in cheap green foam, giving them an unsettling texture that reads cheaper than even the aliens of the original series.

Look how they massacred my boy

At least the Suliban villain, Silik, was pretty cool. Sometimes an enemy, sometimes a friend, always throwing shade 👌

I am mildly annoyed when an action scene essentially pauses so the heroes can have a small dialog scene.

I always find myself wondering: isn’t that bad guy, hull breach, detonation timer etc still there?

Gimme those guest stars from ntsf:SD:SUV:: 🤞

Oh, this definitely includes Renegades 👌

If you do that you miss much of the best Trek villains:

Kai Wynn and Gul Dukat

They are part of reason folks are advising you to hang in there.

But ultimately just enjoy it and skip any episode that is boring you; if you make it halfway you’ll probably want to watch the few relevant ones you skipped.

p.s. Buckle up 🖖

Enterprise all the way.

It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.

Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.

Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.

Highlights include:

• Captain Archer feuding with Duras
• Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
• Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
• Grapplers!

Low points include:

• Decontamination
• Archer/Tpol tension
• Cogenitor episode
• The finale

Came here to mention La Sirena from Picard.

Hologram bridge crew with fully hologram passenger quarters, the introverts starship par excellence 👌

Quick someone animate it for the masses, for the children, for me!

It’s a matter of opinion of course, but to me Picard 1/2 suffers the same malady as S31: “all we need is a big star to sell our franchise”

Season 3 felt to me like the owners of the franchise desperately trying to salvage the final season from Patrick Stewart’s meddling.

As for Kirk’s stories you’re right he’s done if not already overdone, at least as a main character. Who knows how he may work as a supporting character 🤷‍♀️

When Monday-me tries to remember what Friday-me did

If Kirk is going to come back, it has to mean something. It has to be the show. But I was so impressed by this writer, so I said let’s talk after I’m done in Vancouver.

He had me in the first half, but thankfully this doesn’t sound like another vanity project ala Picard S1/S2 🤞

I came here for the post about fog, but stayed for bikepower rabbit hole 👌

This looks like one you can make from an old washer and an old bike: https://permies.com/t/90723/Pedal-powered-washing-machine
