I hope that, after three seasons, they’ve concluded that arc. Imagine seven seasons of Riker and Troi ”will they, or won’t they?” The smartest thing the writers did was have them both move on from their old relationship and still be friends.
And saying she transferred away then having her come back one or twice a season in a recurring role is still possible and believable.
Her loss. ‘the filming pacing was too slow’ ?? It was COVID, honey.
They should make Bortus the new XO. :)
Disney owns a Star Trek competitor. One that was already being (and continues to be) well received. And last I heard, Disney was actively marketing it on Plus. They would be even dumber than they’ve been recently to let it die. I guarantee you that’s the argument Seth MacFarlane is making to them.
Wikipedia cites that as of January 5, 2024, The Orville has not yet been canceled but that it could go either way. Adrianne Palicki (Commander Grayson) has already walked away.
Season 3 was the biggest tone shift in the whole series. But you’re right.
The Pilot is Family Guy in Space, the rest of season 1 is Galaxy Quest: The Series (save for Firestorm which essentially a lost Voyager script). Season 2 is TNG with Stargate humor, and New Horizons is TNG crossed with Mass Effect.
sigh I require more!
It’s been a long time waiting for season 4, but it hasn’t been canceled yet. And every now and then Seth comes up for air and says to remain hopeful.
There was a point in my life where I would just copy the Redbook files directly off the disc. Nothing like folders of ~100MB .aiff files farting around on your hard drive (back when 80GB drives were expensive.)
When I moved to Japan, and often had to stand on the train with no hand hold, I quickly learned how to lower my center of gravity and balance on two feet against random tilting and turns at high speed.
The insistence of the graffiti:
FARTS
FARTS
damming to anyone who sees children as people.
I found my favorite comment of the week. Maybe even the month!
Of the newer trains in Japan, I like the gold-colored refresh of the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line with the 1000 Series.
Or Spacia X, the newest Limited Express train running between Asakusa and the mountains north of Kanto.
But as far as classic sets go, I absolutely love to see the various old (now retired) Express trains with bull noses and maroon & cream color schemes.
whitepeopletwitter and 196 on various instances are always fun.
Personally, I like more specific sci-fi and fantasy groups:

You meant to say Deep Space Nine.

JR Sobu Rapid Line (OC)
Two sets of E217s on the JR Sobu Rapid Line during a rare two-way layover at Tsudanuma Station in May 2020. This picture was taken shortly before JR began phasing the E217s out with E235s.

My Star Trek Chronological Viewing Lists
I made a joke post about watching all of Star Trek again and some people asked me about my viewing order,so I decided to make a more formal post about it.
(Save this post, I will be updating it as time goes on)
Let me explain sum up; I ascribe to the idea of three distinct timelines. One involving all of the original set of series and movies, one for the alternate timeline movies ,and one for the current set of series. This isn't a post to argue about what order is more accurate, this is just my collection of lists for others to enjoy if they so desire. I have my rationales for organizing everything this way.
RODDENBERRY TIMELINE: https://pastebin.com/wiPG3KEu (temporary link)
(I'm really distracted by important things right now, so I will have to add the others later. I also already know that there are a number of errors with the first list, I will update it in the future. Until then, enjoy.)
Star Trek: Continues can be watched for free on YouTube & here.

Captain Janeway - Hair Master
My favorite part was how her hair was in a beautiful and much more complicated knot in the premier episode, then it was a mangled mess after Voyager was thrown to the Delta Quadrant, but they make a show of her fixing it into the simpler knot with her bare hands while walking the corridors from one disaster to another.
Janeway commands, and her hair obeys.

Help finding a war movie

> [request] Help finding a war movie > > I'm having trouble finding a movie I caught the ending of on cable TV once upon a time, and never saw again. Does anyone here recognize it? > > Modern (~1990s) soldiers (the heroes) are pinned down. They rig explosives for some reason and use the radio to remote detonate them. Something goes wrong, and one of the soldiers takes a walkie talkie and walks towards the explosives, without any cover, to use it to force them to go off. He has to get very close to them. He gets shot repeatedly, and just before being fatally wounded, he yells "Blow!" And the explosives go off. > > Additional information: > - On US cable in the mid to late 1990s > - Modern war film, with then-current tech (Desert Storm-era) > - Soldiers are outside in rocky/deserted terrain during the daytime in above the described scene > - walkie-talkie is a military-grade CB brick > - Soldier is a short, young guy who I've seen in a few other movies typecast as a low-ranking soldier or officer of some kind
