So I’ve been barely active on Lemmy for a litany of reasons but I am active elsewhere. Specifically, Bluesky. I run an account that I’ve posted here a couple times called the Starfleet Press Office where I post lil tweets that take place kinda within the Star Trek universe, breaking the fourth wall to an extent. The idea is that the Department of Temporal Investigations owed a favor to the team in charge of the S.P.O so he got a temporal link to Bsky set up. For fun. So random tweets get posted that are commenting on current episodes (A few were made for different Lower Decks episodes as they were posted), other ones about just random events in the universe that I think would be funny (sometimes lining up with holidays, like some Santa teleportation nonsense), and others that take real world events and parody them in the Star Trek universe, like the ferengi CEO of a health insurance conglomerate getting killed.
I’m clearly doing something right because @RealGulDukat, the guy who posts Trump tweets as if Dukat said them, follows only 13 people on Bsky and one of them is me. So whatever nonsense I keep posting I’m just gonna stick with. Drop by and say hi!
The Orville is painfully derivative. It’s not the Star Trek show we never got, it’s reheated leftovers of the Star Trek show we already had thirty years ago.
NuTrek has certainly had its writing failures (looking in Picard’s direction), but at least it generally tried to let the franchise evolve.
And none of those failures had anything to do with “virtue signalling”. They’ve mostly been the result of committing to a season long arc with no meaningful plan and fumbling the ball halfway to the finish line.
