Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

StarTrek.Website has upgraded to Lemmy v0.19.5!
Hi everyone,
We've now upgraded to v0.19.5 - this update includes the changes from v0.19.4, which we had not yet upgraded to. This is a relatively big one, and you can find details here:
---
Here are some of the user-facing highlights:
-
There is now a dropdown option to hide posts.
-
You can now view and delete all images you've previously uploaded.
-
Federation has been improved in a number of ways. It's now possible to federate with Wordpress, Discourse, and NodeBB. Federation with Mastodon has been improved, and we should now be federated with more servers on that platform. Most posts to our communities should automatically receive a hashtag matching the community's name (e.g., #startrek, #daystrominstitute, etc.). This is dependent on the poster's home instance, though, so only posts from servers which are running v0.19.4 or higher will receive the hashtags.
-
There's now a user setting to change how votes are displayed - you can see or hide upvotes, downvotes, score, upvote %, or none.
---
I'd also like to remind you that we have two alternative interfaces available:
-
https://old.startrek.website/ is a suspciously familiar-looking user experience.
-
https://vger.startrek.website/ is a nice mobile-first experience. If you've ever used the Voyager mobile app, this is that.
Edit: We also have a wiki, which is open to users who feel inspired to develop resources for this community!

Finally, we remain eternally grateful to all users who are able to support startrek.website by contributing to our Patreon - your generosity helps to keep the lights on!

As part of her Grade 12 art activism class, Lexis De Meyer was tasked with investigating accessibility challenges faced by people with disabilities in her community of Abbotsford.

Nearly a month later, I feel like I need an update. Did you pull the trigger?
Thinking about "The Boss" a little more...
The full context of the line is that the Meep is saying that two-hearted aliens are very rare, and that's why they'll be interested in the Doctor.
Is this a "collector" situation? Is it Kivas Fajo, thus cementing DW as Star Trek canon?
Not a very good headline, but I love the glimpse behind the scenes.
I watched this video the other day expecting pretty fluffy content, but I was similarly impressed by the discussion of just how much it was Millie Gibson's show during the first filming block.
âCasting Ncuti meant casting him before heâd finished on Sex Education â that was a risk that we took."

I think this is probably the weakest of the Tennant specials - RTD seems to enjoy starting new Doctors with relatively lightweight, farcical instalments. I think that makes sense, as it probably helps the exposition go down, but they remain my least favourite flavour of Who.
I remember reading that Beep the Meep was some kind of legacy character, but avoided spoilers. Nonetheless, I didn't find the big betrayal very surprising.
Resolving the meta-crisis in the first special did surprise me, but it was probably a good decision.
Regarding "The Boss" - do we think that's a mystery for another day? It doesn't really make sense for it to be Sutekh...

Star Trek rarely does predestination paradoxes, but...sometimes it does. Your idea sounds plausible.
Regarding a third season, I know you have said itâs possible. What is your level of confidence? Is this now just like any other show on Netflix awaiting a season pickup if it does well?
Kevin Hageman: I would guess more than doing well. We donât know anything about season 3 yet. But what from what I see of Netflix when they do pickup shows for a season 3, which is very rare, itâs not about doing well, it has to do gangbusters.
Dan Hageman: Most things only get 2 seasons.
Kevin Hageman: I think itâs going to be a real challenge. And I think it has to be bigger than just the Star Trek audience watching it as much as they can. Itâs about breaking into kids who are [not already fans]
Dan Hageman: But letâs also put it into perspective. Lower Decks is five seasons, but those seasons are 10 episodes. Ours is 20 episodes. We got 40 episodes. Itâs a lot of content out there. So it kind of comes down to: are there large watch-throughs of the season? Whereâs the appetite? Do people want more Prodigy? Obviously, Kevin and I want more Prodigy. But happy with how we left things off at the end of the season 2. We feel like thereâs a nice place to stop, but also a new adventure to pick up if we want to.
Kevin Hageman: Doing a show like this is not cheap, doing 20 episodes. So, my hope is we get a great-sized audience, but if itâs not big enough to warrant another season, thereâs always option B. Which would be, letâs do a 90-minute animated film, the sequel which could start the film franchise.
The co-creators lay out their vision for a potential future for 'Prodigy.'

This is probably a good time to acknowledge that the current MB government isn't shaping up to have a great environmental record, taking a bold stand against the federal carbon tax and fighting to keep zebra-mussel-positive lakes to be kept open.
Manitobaâs environment minister says the âdecimationâ of her department under previous governments led to oversight gaps in the provinceâs oil industry

Okay, the lore on these things is convoluted-but-fun.
These alien vessels were provided to the Khitomer Alliance by a variant Iconian civilization that was found in a neighboring dimension, after a strike team that included an Aetherian ally helped ward off an existence-threatening attack by their variant version of the Borg. Significant similarities exist between these starships, and the Obelisk Carriers found in our own reality, though with more modernized technology and capabilities, including an even more resilient structural field, and improved mobility.

individual discussion threads for each episode that come out one or two a day,
BRB adding this as an option
Personally, I prefer option 1, if enough people are going to participate.
Prodigy Season 2: How do we want to discuss it?
With Prodigy season 2 poised to drop 20 episodes on us on Monday, we're trying to decide how to manage the discussions. Each option has its pros and cons, so why not put it to the group? The way I see it, we have three options:
-
One discussion thread per episode, with an index pinned to the community for convenience.
-
Four discussion threads, breaking the season into 5-episode blocks, with an index pinned to the community for convenience.
-
One megathread to discuss the season, with no episodic threads.
-
Individual episode threads, dropped at a rate of two per day.
---
Edit: Based on the response, we'll go with Option 1. I might space out the actual posts somewhat, though, to avoid spamming the "All" feed too much.
Nothing, nor would I be interested in trying.
"We sat there going, 'Does that work?' â but it was too late."
![Doctor Who boss on "risky" Midnight: "None of us had any idea if that script worked"](https://startrek.website/pictrs/image/b65295bd-7ee3-4ab5-93bf-a61a5fb3dd8b.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
NARRATOR: It did work.
---
One of the all-time great episodes for my money, though I can absolutely see why that script would make them nervous.
My Agents of Yesterday character became my main for a very long time - lots of fun.
I despise ranking things, as I find it reductive.
That said, I think "Boom," "73 Yards," and "Dot and Bubble" were all-timers, with every other episode being sone degree of "fine," in my opinion.
"Space Babies" probably comes in last.
I actually have a Dyson Sphere themed character, so I might have an excuse to use it regularly!
I want to see more screenshots, but it sure looks purdy.
yes exactly
Sounds like that's exactly it - it's only briefly mentioned:
At this point in the episode as originally scripted, RTD explains, the Remembered TARDIS had collapsed and disappeared after depositing the Doctor, Ruby and Mel in 2046. That was an SFX sequence too far for this already-packed episode, and so it was cut from the script.
It pains me, I blame everyone else.
Okay, I actually find it somewhat refreshing and/or hilarious when a writer eats some humble pie about some narrative nonsense.
I have to admit, I didn't even notice this specific occurrence - by this point, it was kind of a layer cake of nonsense, which...is not unusual for RTD season finales.
This sounds a lot like a defense of the episode, but it's not meant to be, not really. I just don't mind this specific narrative cheat, I guess.
