    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x09 - "Subspace Rhapsody"

    Throughout this series, I've felt bad for Chapel, knowing that she's doomed to spend years pining for Spock during the TOS/TAS era (assuming they don't seriously diverge from canon). However, after watching this episode, now it almost feels like karmic retribution for breaking his heart in the...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x02 - "Disengage"

    OMFG, I realize that I run the risk of making myself sound unhinged any time I rant about how much I can't stand the huge, distracting "skip" button that Paramount+ insists on slapping over the intros of all their shows, but it feels especially absurd that someone felt the need to do so for...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x10 - "The Stars at Night"

    Maybe it makes me a petty person, but part of me really wanted to see Mariner curse out Captain Freeman for shipping her off to that crappy starbase and/or sarcastically apologize to the crew for all the "terrible" things she said to that muckraking reporter. I realize that because of her past...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x08 - "Crisis Point Ⅱ: Paradoxus"

    If this is the last time George Takei appears in Star Trek, his final line will end up being "The horsey is going to bite you now." :lol:

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x07 - "The Serene Squall"

    That was the first Seinfeld episode I ever saw. Incidentally, the actor who played Lt. Bookman in that episode, Philip Baker Hall, passed away earlier this week. By an odd coincidence, I happened to have been watching him in the movie Magnolia right before I heard that news.

    Am I the only one who can't stand Paramount+'s skip button?

    Even though I doubted it would do any good and was fairly convinced I'd be dismissed as a crank, I actually sent a complaint to Paramount+ a few months back suggesting that very thing or that they at least significantly shorten the duration of time the skip buttons appear on screen. There are...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x03 - "Ghosts of Illyria"

    Both those people are me, so I may be the only one wondering why this apparent change was made.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x03 - "Ghosts of Illyria"

    Yeah, I actually went back and checked myself before I made my post. She calls herself La'an Noonien-Singh in the first episode, but the recap seems to sort of "retcon" that by truncating the dialogue from that scene and having her just say "La'an Noonien" instead, like the producers belatedly...

    Am I the only one who can't stand Paramount+'s skip button?

    Thanks, though since I own neither a smart TV nor an Xbox, I'm afraid those solutions don't appear to be viable in my case. When I hit any of the "back" buttons on my Roku remote, it just rewinds or exits the video. Still, I appreciate the reply since it makes me feel a little less crazy just...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x03 - "Ghosts of Illyria"

    Did La'an decide to drop Singh from her name? In the recap, when they showed the clip of her introducing herself to Pike, I noticed that the audio cut off so that she just says La'an Noonien instead of La'an Noonien-Singh, plus later in the episode, Chapel refers to her as just Lt. Noonien.

    Am I the only one who can't stand Paramount+'s skip button?

    Ha ha, jokes on you; I'm unlikely to have either children or grandchildren and will probably die alone. :wah:

    Am I the only one who can't stand Paramount+'s skip button?

    Yeah, watching on the computer, it's less obtrusive than when I watch on my TV, though I still hate that it remains up the entire time, plus I feel like I shouldn't be forced to choose a smaller screen. Believe me, I do feel ridiculous for allowing this particular issue to be such a major...

    Am I the only one who can't stand Paramount+'s skip button?

    I can see how that would be irritating. I'm getting a little OT here, but I've experienced the opposite when it comes to Hulu. When I watch Hulu via my Roku, I don't get any commercials, even though I'm not paying for the ad-free version. Maybe there's some sort of glitch relating to my Roku...

    Am I the only one who can't stand Paramount+'s skip button?

    Exactly. I mean, who is waiting to hit that button until there are only three seconds left in the intro?

    Am I the only one who can't stand Paramount+'s skip button?

    I'm nervous about making this post. I'm fully aware that this probably sounds like the most frivolous of complaints, but I cannot get over how annoying I find the skip button that pops up during the opening credits of shows on Paramount+ now. I may be in the minority here, since with binging...

    Spoilers Coda Trilogy Discussion Thread

    Well, that sucks, since, apart from the Destiny trilogy, when it comes to the litverse, I've mostly just read the DS9 relaunch books. Oh, and also New Frontier; I guess those are part of the same universe, too. I'm not 100% sure this is directed at my comment specifically, but I'll respond...

    Spoilers Coda Trilogy Discussion Thread

    Okay, I haven't read the Coda trilogy. Some venting rando, totally unprompted, left a comment on my deviantART page spoiling part of it for me, which I didn't appreciate since I thought there was a chance I might get around to reading it someday. TBH, I haven't read a ton of the Trek relaunch...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x06 - "Kobayashi"

    Somewhat OT, but I feel the need to declare how much I hate, hate, hate the "skip" feature that Paramount+ has recently added to the intros of their series. It's distracting and obtrusive and even obscures some of the names in the opening credits, which I'd go so far as to say feels rather...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 2x10 - "First First Contact"

    Ugh, this showed up in my recommendations and I was depressed to see how many angry idiots in the comments seriously think that LD took the idea from some random RLM video. This kind of thing always makes me think of the story David Gerrold told on the TAS DVD audio commentary about the kid who...

    News Star Trek Day Coming September 8

    Sadly, I'm not surprised. I got fed up with blocking toxic people in the chat and ended up watching a significant portion of the event on Paramount+ instead.
