It’s my favorite of them which I’ve rewatched though more than once. A tad dated, so I wonder if newly introduced folks would like it.

Of the live action, what have you enjoyed the most?

I know nothing of Academy, but I understand it’s in the Discovery future. I kind of wish that arc brought them back to their time. That future is rough and… can scifi be too futuristic? Anyway, not sure if I will dig the Academy of that time, but can’t knock it until I try it.

I kind of want to meet the new demographic that is into the latest Star Trek. As in, that’s all they know and what they like best. I’m not sure that demographic is even formed yet, but I’m kind of curious how different they would be from the old Trek folks. What is it about the new track that they like versus the old.

@[email protected] @[email protected] yes. devotion. alas, i will probably eventually watch it. even if only as a background show while I am doing something else. i hope it doesn’t hurt. 😬

prodigy however, i never finished it. i don’t know why, but my youngest didn’t dig it and then it went through the re-homing. i just sorta forgot about it. i think it’s time i give it a second go. i’ll force him to watch it because all kids should be properly indoctrinated with trek. ;-)

I will never begin to understand how and why execs make the decisions they do.

No idea if it was most popular, but i wouldn’t have thought so. The humor seemed directed mostly towards existing fans. I cant imagine they brought in many new viewers. I’d love to be surprised though.

It certainly has its differences. I’ve really enjoyed SNW. Discovery had a lot of good, but plenty to counter balance it. I’m glad they wrapped it up because it really really needed to.

Now… this Section 31 movie? I watched the trailer. And… as much as I hate to say this because of how much I love Star Trek… I think I’m going to skip that one. Normally I watch everything out of devotion. Yep, that means watching some pretty bad stuff. I just don’t know if this movie has any redeeming qualities though.

I love Yeoh, but I really don’t like the Georgiou character much. And this movie takes place in the part of the Discovery timeline that I just didn’t dig so much.

I don’t know. Maybe.

I’d hate for there to be some Star Trek I didn’t watch .

So what do people classify as New Trek. Post Archer’s Enterprise?

Ha! Because of all the cartoon energy? 😁

It had me rofl. 😁💜

So perfect.

Same. I didn’t want to rush it. Savor it, you know.

It left me with the good feels.

Indeed. 💜

I have serious love-hate for her.

Ooh! I didn’t hear about a possible movie. Is it a sure thing?

Is Blue sky activity pub connected so that we can follow people from Mastodon? I don’t really follow people (and as a result don’t use Mastodon much), but I’d love to follow him!

/me hangs head in shame

I seem to have a visceral reaction to advertisements. It’s very physical.

The short answer is that the Google Play version won’t actually block anything because it breaks their terms of service. So that version just tells you how many trackers and what the trackers are. I still use some of those apps and even respect them (e.g. AP News, AccuWeather), but it completely boggles my mind how they’ve loaded so many trackers into their applications… 🫤

Longer answer: To actually block trackers and ads, you need to use a third party source to download the app so that it’s fully functional. By providing the app that way, they don’t have to abide by Google Plays rules.

The link above is for the F-Droid “app store” version, which is one of the more well-known “stores.” I highly recommend F-Droid. They host free and open source (FOSS) applications. For most everything you use, there is a FOSS alternative which will be ad and tracker free.

Want a simple ad-free calculator, go there. Want to watch YouTube ad free, go there. Want to download an ad free Lemmy client, go there. Etc etc.

Hurrah for high quality FOSS software!

Yep. It’s becoming more and more common for folks to know that they can do it, but it certainly isn’t ubiquitous. It wasn’t that long ago when I caught my partner listening to music on YouTube with all the ads and I blew their mind away by installing NewPipe. They just had no idea.
