well they use a mobile emitter for the doctor so no reason you can’t bring your virtual concubines to the r&r sections of the ship if you were motivated and they didn’t have plot reasons for rationing photons also the usual weird hangups that starfleet has outside of Riss

they did expand the holo-emitters to be on every deck of voyager ...in the premiere of lower decks season 4. lol that show is really correcting a lot of the wrongs that have cropped up. it's not entirely surprising, the showrunner and writer of that episode, mike mcmahan, is a goon and still lurks at least tviv and possibly this very thread

voyager wasn't very good, but i can't call it bad any more after seeing what _really_ bad star trek is if the lower decks guy actually reads something awful, i hope he knows how appreciative ms jones and i are of his work. watching lower decks is the television highlight of the week, and tbh i dont think it's even close

So, good job.

Beeftweeter posted:they were both pretty good. the premiere with all of the voyager references (and i didn't look at the credits, but i'm pretty sure ethan phillips, neelix, was the voyager museum curator) was really pretty decent too, even if you don't like voyager. they struck a good balance between making GBS threads on it and being respectful of it it was very obviously famous divorcee and DMs creeper andy richter

So, good job. yeah! even not knowing the references, ms. vector enjoys it and it's also made the better old shows more interesting for her as i rewatch them. it's the type of trek trek desperately needed when it needed it

i just read “a stitch in time” the only star trek book i have ever or will ever read. i made an exception because it’s written by andrew robinson, who played garak on deep space 9. it was honestly very enjoyable and full of bisexual tension and if you are a friend of garak you’ll check this out

Achmed Jones posted:HELL YES just watched the new ep yeah i thought both the A and B stories were really good this week. i like pretty much any trek episode with a malfunctioning gigantic computer lol, and they rightfully were pointing out the absurdity of it. plus i thought the setting was really cool in general the B story with tendi, mariner and rutherford pretty obviously getting hazed was really pretty good too, had a satisfying ending and a good tie-in to the A story (with boim's first command). i definitely didn't expect the chula game to be incorporated into the story that way either, it was really good overall imo it's really one of the best trek series in a long time. hard to say if it's better than SNW, but i think it might be just because there's been more of it and subsequently has more development

"computer comedy" we did, too. we're doing a ds9 watch/rewatch, so the anomalies jokes landed extra well also, boimler's third act scene led to a rewatch of s01e04 since ms. vector didn't watch the first few with me. s01 holds up better than i gave it credit for, at the time, and i think we;lol rewatch the whole first season to get in sync Casual Encountess posted:i just read “a stitch in time” the only star trek book i have ever or will ever read. i made an exception because it’s written by andrew robinson, who played garak on deep space 9. it was honestly very enjoyable and full of bisexual tension and if you are a friend of garak you’ll check this out adding to the reading list, thanks! fe: the audiobook is narrated by him
