My favorite little easter egg is that the LOWER DECKS font in the title card now has those blue streaks in the background. Because it’s the 5th season. Just like TNG added those blue streaks in its 5th season.

By the way, that’s why Ransom calls Una “the hottest First Officer in Starfleet history”.

“Halt dagegen.”

Gegen was? Grammatik?

Aber passt ja. Die AfD ist halt dagegen. Also, gegen alles.

Damit es eindeutiger wird, empfehle ich die Begriffe “Leistungsnehmer” und “Leistungsgeber” oder “Leistungserbringer”.

Außerdem strahlen die Bildschirme, die mittlerweile an vielen Haltestellen angebracht sind, unglaublich viel Wärme ab. Ist vor allem im Sommer geil, wenn es eh schon zu warm ist, und dann wird man an der Haltestelle auch noch zusätzlich gegrillt.

Thank god it’s monday

Jaaa, endlich wieder arbeiten. ಠ_ಠ

One thing that the current era of Trek does right is giving each series a unique vibe. Remember when everyone complained that Voyager was just TNG 2.0? Definitely doesn’t happen nowadays.

Of course that means that not every series appeals to every Trekkie. And that’s okay. Just pick the ones you like.

“Compact” is a bit of a stretch. But the size of the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro (non-XL) is pretty nice. I currently have a 7 Pro and while the “screen real estate” is nice, it’s really on the upper end of what I’m willing to use. (Both in terms of size and weight) I bought my mom a Pixel 8 recently and I really liked the form factor when I set up the phone. It’s large enough to fit everything on the screen but small enough to use comfortably. Since I really want a telephoto lens the non-XL Pro version seems like it’s made for me. 😄

wenn man nur tagesschau liest und Talkshows anschaut wird man nur wissen das “Schulden = schlecht” sind

Das liegt nicht nur an der Tagesschau. Das ist einfach in unserer deutschen DNA drin.

Neulich habe ich mal irgendwo gelesen, dass Deutsche möglicherweise auch deswegen so gegen Schulden sind, weil in der deutschen Sprache nicht zwischen finanzieller Schuld und moralischer Schuld unterschieden wird. Es ist das selbe Wort. Während beispielsweise im Englischen zwischen debt und guilt unterschieden wird.

Keine Ahnung, ob da was dran ist. Klingt aber auch nicht völlig abwegig.

I’m all for trying new things within the Star Trek universe!

I’m usually in the same boat. Because IDIC, you know? I like it when new shows expand the Trek universe and try something new. Just look at DS9. It got a lot of backlash in the 90s (“too dark”, “not Gene’s vision” etc.) and nowadays it’s very popular and often ranked somewhere around TNG.

But this Section 31 movie… I don’t know. Nothing about seems appealing. The main role is basically Space Hitler. It was already nonsense how they tried to redeem that character on Discovery while she had no redeeming qualities. Compare that to other Trek “villains” like Gul Dukat who at least had some sort of moral compass, even if it was a bit skewed. But Georgiou? There’s nothing. She’s just one-dimensionally evil. Do we really need a movie with her in the main role? 😕

Deep Space Nine ist besser.

Da hatte jemand Spaß mit der Überschrift. Ü

Thankfully TOS never did any fantasy stuff like galactic barriers, Trelane, massive green hands in space, or Abraham Lincoln. That wouldn’t have been true to Gene’s vision.

I’m not a fan of Disco either, but tardigrades and time bugs are really low on my list of complaints. Star Trek did lots of even whackier stuff over the last 60 years (or did everyone forget the “Fun with DNA” episodes of the 90s?). In fact, that time bug episode was probably the best 32nd century Disco episode. Which is a low bar, but anyway.

This was … a DISCO episode.

Lengthy but meaningless action sequences? Check. Shaky cams all the damn time? Check. People talking about their feelings at the worst possible moment? Check. No apparent command structure and people just doing whatever they want? Check. One-dimensional villains? Check. Flamethrowers on the bridge? Check. (although, to be honest, those are so absurd that I’ll actually miss them)

I liked the future scenes because they were noticably slower and cerebral than pretty much anything that Discovery did during its five seasons. I wish they would have done something like that more often.

But yeah, that’s it. I’m somewhat glad it’s over. I liked the first two seasons of the show. Despite their flaws I appreciated that they’ve tried something new in the Star Trek franchise. And ultimately that led to Strange New Worlds, so I’ll have to give them credit for that. Anything after the season 3 time jump was not my cup of tea though. There was never enough worldbuilding for my taste because so much screentime was devoted to Burnham and Book, and that meant that the 31st century never really felt “real” to me.

Maybe I’ll rewatch seasons 1 and 2 somewhere down the line but I have no interest in watching seasons 3-5 again. I’ll just treat them as Burnham’s fever dream or something like that.
