  • Godzilla takes over Hollywood drone show - Monarch: Legacy of Monsters S2 premiere event

    Jump

  • There is now cleaner official video of the drone show from AppleTV and Legendary Studios posted to YouTube.

    Worth a view!

  • Well, you might want to put priority on achieving the Star Trek franchise’s favourite prime number in rewatches before the end of the 60th anniversary year is done.

    The Toho Godzilla Monsterverse as the older franchise of the three can be patient in waiting for you to discover its awesomeness.

    But if you’re game to give it a try, AppleTV’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a successful entry point that introduces you to the lore without giving everything away.

    Thanks for welcoming me and my proposal!

    Yes, a thousand is huge, even if an order of magnitude lower. 🖖🏼

    Incredible engagement all.

    Certainly an instance record but is that a Lemmy record? Are many of those upvotes coming via other APIs or is it just Lemmy’s

  • Finally, someone asked the most important question for the fediverse!

  • Hi StarTrek.website, I'm Karim Diané aka Jay-Den Kraag from Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, AMA! (Responding to questions Thursday @4pm!)

  • Hello Karim,

    Fantastic that you’re the providing the first Trek cast member AMA in the fediverse! Incredible way to get into the franchise.

    I hope this will be a good experience on your side and that you might consider having your own account on Mastodon or Pixelfed.

    A few questions please…🖖🏼

    — In your study of previous Klingons in the franchise, have you considered B’Elanna Torres journey to accepting her Klingon heritage? Do you see some parallels in her discomfort with Klingon culture, its norms and expectations with Jay-Den’s search for a path to his own identity while still respecting his culture of origin?

    — Was there a specific moment, in your preparation process for the role, when it suddenly came together for you and you knew who you need to be as Jay-Den? Could you share when that was?

    — What other languages, if any, do you speak beyond English? If you are bilingual or multilingual, do you find that helps with the Klingon dialogue and phrases?

    — How are you finding Toronto and the surrounding area? Have you got out much around the region? Other than what appears to be the Escarpment in S1E4, have you been out on location shoots?

    Jump

  • Wasn’t Roddenberry’s original concept for the Ferengi closer to the Furies in this episode?

    They were supposed to have large bat ears and the cannibalism rings a bell too — at least the rumours Picard mentions about the Ferengi in TNG ‘Encounter at Farpoint’ included cannibalism.

    While the “capitalists on steroids” concept for the Ferengi doesn’t align with the Furies, I still can’t help thinking that Secret Hideout and the Roddenberry estate haven’t pulled out another old idea and reworked it.

    Roddenberry’s concept was reworked in the posthumous Andromeda tv show that combined a few of his ‘trunk’ of concepts that were never greenlit. According to the fandom wiki, Magog in Andromeda were “a savage bloodthirsty species feared throughout the universe...(with) baser instincts to kill other living beings for food, or forcibly infest them with Magog eggs for reproduction.“

    This ForgottenTrek page on the Ferengi does mention cannibalism and big ears, but I don’t see the prosthetics sketch with the big bat ears that I am recalling.

    Do khaosworks@startrek.website or USSBurritotruck@startrek.website happen to have any other references for the original Ferengi concept at hand?

  • My partner, our older GenZ offspring* and I were pretty stunned at the end of that.

    I’m trying to think of the last time the franchise had an episode with such a dark ending that was not the first episode in a clear multipart sequence.

    This is not cozy Star Trek.

  • That ship definitely has a late 24th century Sovereign-class look to it.

    That third nacelle looks like the full scale Protostar drive.

  • That’s how Sam interpreted it, and it’s why she imitated it / mirrored it back.

    But what if it wasn’t pro forma?

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x05 "Series Acclimation Mil"

    Jump

  • Does anyone else have any lingering questions or hypotheses around two nonsequiturs in the episode?

    1. The Bajoran who welcomed Sam said that her “pagh is strong;”
    2. Jake’s holographic reconstruction called Sam ‘sis’.

    I’m wondering why and how the photonics chose the form for Sam - and whether her form is based on a real person - such as Sisko and Cassidy’s daughter Rebecca.

    I’m also really wondering how a photonic being can have a pagh…

    These definitely seem like things that might be followed up on later.

  • How Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Pulled Off Those Amazing Deep Space Nine Returns

    Jump

  • This has some value added in terms of contrasting the outcome of DS9 ‘The Visitor’ with Jake’s Prime Timeline outcome.

    I like the SFA outcome, and I think it respects what Avery wanted in terms of showing that Sisko was a fantastic Black father who left a legacy of good parenting to future generations.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x05 "Series Acclimation Mil"

    Jump

  • I was very moved at how Jake was a truly adult version of the youth we saw in DS9 but that he also had the posture and dignity that Avery Brooks brought to Sisko.

    Cirroc Lofton really can act and it’s outrageous if he’s not been getting work if he wants it.

    If you’ve seen him as himself in his podcast, there’s no doubt about his performance in this episode.

    It makes me very much want to see him cast in something else.
