"Years ago, the ideals of Starfleet called a young girl from the far side of the galaxy to service."
"Find those ideals inside yourself."
I still can't get over how good a job Strange New Worlds did with "Ad Astra Per Aspera". It's a brief moment during the closing statements, but I like how distant they framed Una. The show clearly knows how small and helpless one can feel when their existence comes under scrutiny of the law. Depicting Number One in that position was incredibly striking.
I’m sorry you fell off the series. Everyone’s got their own tastes. Ironically enough Strange New World’s holodeck episode was a huge love letter and homage to classic Star Trek.
It’s been pretty enjoyable so far. Caleb, Jay-Den, Sam, and Genesis all have good chemistry as a main cast. Not every show needs to be TNG: Season 8. There’s some nits one could pick, but I’m looking forward to see where it goes once it’s out of character introduction and exposition mode.
I typically stick to recipe websites with a good reputation rather than random blogs that come up in search results. But that can be tricky if you’re looking for a specific dish.
I went off script a bit with the flatbread. My grocery store usually has a pretty good pita or naan, but they recently started carrying an onion missi roti that I wanted to try. I believe it uses whole wheat, so it started off darker than your usual pita straight from the jump. I may have left it on the grill for a minute too long, but rest assured it was far from cracker-esque.
Every sci-fi show with a budget eventually does, “Alien tech, but organic.”
If you want to talk about Star Trek borrowing from Mass Effect, the final threat from the end of Picard Season 1 is a way closer plot beat than the surface level Gorn aesthetics.
At the end of the day, fiction is a reflection of the time it was written in, and some elements are just going to echo throughout genre fiction.
That’s Beth Toussaint in the TNG Season 4 episode “Legacy”. She’s playing the late Tasha Yar’s sister in that episode. Beth apparently gets mistaken for Linda Hamilton a lot though.
I still love how Jellico’s changes were all just stealth excuses for cast requests.
That being said, a four shift rotation is absurd.
