    Spoilers The Interstellar Song Contest grade and discussion thread

    I just saw a post about "the two Ranis," and now I want a Corbett/Barker style skit.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread

    But attempts to treat can make people double down. I've attempted to call family members out before for assuming it's "mums" as opposed to "parents" in cafes with small kids before and got told "they're stereotypes for a reason" (which from that family member was translatable as "I'm right...

    Point. I forgot about most of S3 and S4 Ent.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread

    It's only different in the context of streaming Trek, which tends to be a season arc. Pre-Discovery, DS9 was the most arc-heavy Trek we had, and even then it wasn't full seasons.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread

    Reached the end of my binge watch, spread over 2 days. Loved it, especially how it ties so much together. We really need a season 3, not that I think it'll happen. Incidentally, anyone know if there'll be a Ready Room for the season? Given the cancellation and rescue I suspect not, but...

    Spoilers Dot and Bubble grade and discussion thread

    I've been debating posting this as I don't want to derail the conversation, but this is pretty much the same thing I've been through a few times, albeit with disability. I'm visually impaired and tend to find my own way around life - I use my phone camera to zoom in on rail announcement boards...

    Spoilers Dot and Bubble grade and discussion thread

    Far too many people (myself included) don't detect racism unless it's really overt. The dialogue is delivered at a fast pace, with a lot going on on screen (multiple chat windows open, I ignored the ones that weren't speaking, the rest got lost in a flood of "Linda's friend list" at the...

    Spoilers ALL of season 2 online NOW in French!!

    Pedantry this may be, but: Kes? She's still out there in incorporeal form somewhere. STO does have Kim as a captain, but I'd love a canon update on him.

    Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

    My guess would be they were done in a hurry after the strikes last year so were shorter to speed up production.

    Spoilers Season 5 Episode Preview Thread

    Add to that, Wil Wheaton's Ready Room next week is Kurtzman, and at the end of this week's RR, Wil says they'll talk about "Discovery and maybe even more" (paraphrased)... Something is definitely coming...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x04 - "Face the Strange"

    I'm not 100% sure there's no massive deliberate misdirect with that possible future. We know the Fed falls, but how sure are we that it was the tech itself that causes it? Without seeing the lead up, it might be Mol and Lok hyping up the tech enough to get loads of other factions mad enough to...

    Spoilers ALL of season 2 online NOW in French!!

    Excuse me while I find the world's smallest violin for those butthurt about someone else seeing the show before them. Welcome to the 2000s, when the Internet was just emerging and America still insisted they got everything before the rest of the world - region by region release sucks, doesn't it?

    Spoilers ALL of season 2 online NOW in French!!

    No, that's just how things are, the same way most British TV is in English, Welsh, Irish, etc, and American TV is often English or Spanish. When we have foreign language shows, we dub them - the majority of the audience can't understand the original, so why bother offering it? I know enough...

    Apparently the creators are aware and trying to get it taken down - someone hit the button too early I guess.

    Spoilers The Giggle grade and discussion thread

    Erm... That was disappointing, way too silly at the end, and total fan service having two Doctors active. Did 14 retire then? Or is there a chance he'll pop up for scenes or eps next season?

    Ah thanks, I went in without seeing the trailer.

    The Creator new sci-fi film

    Okay that was like watching a modern take on Asimov combined with a documentary on the War on Terror. I thought it was incredibly nuanced, showing the strengths and weaknesses of AI, but above all that it's how we program/use it that matters most. Again, I don't want to spoil, but those worried...

    The Creator new sci-fi film

    Booked to see it today, hopefully it's a nuanced film. Apparently the superweapon is surprising (I won't spoil what it is, but I read a synopsis on Google just now) and makes me think all is not as we're led to believe at the start.

    Game Starfield

    Thanks @Rincewiend - I'll bear that in mind in a few months when I consider whether to upgrade my GPU. :)
