Hey #StarTrek posse, do we already have some kind of plan how we're gonna deal with #Netflix releasing all of #StarTrekProdigy season 2 at once?
Like, the weekly release cycle of Paramount+ kept us somewhat in sync. The time span where you could see spoilers because you didn't watch the episode yet was pretty short, I assume less than 24 hours for most of us.
Now, I fully expect some people to binge the whole season in two days. People who can't will have a hard time with spoilers, won't they?
Many say that #startrek shows some unreachable utopia etc.
But I think that even many people still like to have something, I have impression that there is growing trend, that more and more people seek non-material pleasures, something that you can't directly buy. Impressions, memories to enjoy about, if you say.
Yeah you still need to buy a good boots for hiking, but if they are good, they will serve you for a while and you don't need to buy more and more boots to hike. You need only time.
Das Thema ist auf dem Holodeck in #StarTrek durchaus umstritten, möglicherweise resultierende Holosucht wird beispielsweise behandelt.
KI mit Daten von Toten füttern und ins Zwiegespräch mit dem Avatar gehen. Auch in #SeaQuest wird es genutzt, der @darwinpod erzählt uns davon. 🐬
Sometimes you read an Internet thread in 2024, and it takes you back to simpler times. This morning, I read a new thread (yes, I checked the date) where people were earnestly and nerdily debating how the Enterprise would fare against an Imperial Star Destroyer (not well was the consensus opinion btw).
Tech companies, please stop making things smaller and thinner, it's not 1998. We want longer battery life and our things to be repairable, instead of replaceable. If you can't think of any actual innovations, stop wasting resources!

That reinds me of the Nimoy/Spock story.
Leonard Nimoy got tired of being seen as Spock everywhere all the time. He wanted to be known as the skilled director he was. His first autobiography was titled "I'm Not Spock."
Years later, when flip phones were new, he was walking down the street when his phone rang. He picked it up, and in an easy, reflexive movement, flipped it open and put the fingers of his other hand where the knob on the Star Trek communicator would be. It was a motion he had made hundreds of times while in character. At that moment, he realized just how deep an impression that character had made in his life.
His second autobiography was titled "I Am Spock."
I heard this story in an interview with Nimoy years ago, back in the flip phone era.
Dominion Media Television keeps knocking it out of the park. It's a shame I haven't convinced the author to come over here to the #Fediverse yet, but I will, one day.
I may have gone over the top with the handouts and preparations for my Star Trek Adventures game. But after too many sessions playing online, I LOVE playing in person #StarTrekAdventures#StarTrek#TTRPG
