New *Animated* Short Trek: Ephraim & Dot
- Thread starter pst
- Start date
Ripper looks to be much larger (and more hostile) than Ephraim, so I doubt they're the same character.

These were fine.
I was going to judge them on one dimension, and one alone: "what did my kids think?"
They both had ear-to-ear smiles through both shorts, and my 8-year old wanted to see E&D again immediately after it ended.
I could give a shit about anything else. Windows in sickbay, crooked saucers...whatever. Like it matters.

OT, but how do those Tardigrades reproduce?
Quite true.
So why try to remove the fun?
Not like they showed truly abominable things like a leading zero registry number like NCC-01701.
Yeah, I kind of ruined my own joke there. My original intent was to go on at length with nitpicks, putting on a show of being offended by their blatant and flagrant disregard for all that is good and proper and then finish off with "but apart from that I enjoyed it." Somehow, when it came time to write the post I couldn't quite get clever enough to make it properly amusing, and time was working against me, so I kept it simple to convey that I did enjoy it and tossed in the nitpicks to be a traditional Trek Fan with no sense of fun. Just trying to maintain an image, that's all.So why try to remove the fun?
Oh, I did notice that and am eternally grateful each and every day that aberration seems to be firmly in the past where it belongs.Not like they showed truly abominable things like a leading zero registry number like NCC-01701.
Do not recall of this was mentioned upthread. With the Network so classified that i does not "exist". How is Starfleet making a film referring to it?
Just let it go. No good will come from it.
Psst - STAR TREK isn't real...
Not in this universe....Psst - STAR TREK isn't real...
"Silence Earthling! My name is Darth Vader! I am an extra terrestrial from the planet Vulcan!"
Well, this occurs 10 years after Discovery, so maybe she's calmed down a bit. Also, she's considerably bigger than Dot, who is roughly human-sized, so I don't see that she's tiny.
The nearest thing I can figure out is they're born pregnant. Thanks, Edward!
I wasn't aware DOT-7 drones were that big. I always thought they were smaller, like roughly R2D2-size.
After they crash through the laundry vats, Dot is wearing a red shirt. It seems to more or less fit, though I suppose it's just the shirt that covers it. But anyway, Epheraim is still much bigger.
Ex Astris with a predictably joyless review, seemingly entirely missing the emotional climax of the short.
I did notice the scale get a bit weird. DOT should be somewhere between R2 and human sized, but it's tiny when outside the sickbay window.
They should totally put that blinking helmet toy on Spock's head sometime!Not like they showed truly abominable things like a leading zero registry number like NCC-01701.
The supreme Klingon hereby commands you to take the entity known as Baines Lorraine to the place known as Hill Valley High School exactly 4 earth cycles from now!
From that review: "the idea of a tardigrade and a robot forming a family is absurd."
Wow.
This guy is always bitching, not just in his Disco reviews but in any of his reviews for any of the Star Trek whenever the "fundament values of Star Trek" or dare I say it, "Gene's Vision" are ignored and disregarded. But then, we get a perfect example of IDIC, certainly one of the fundamental values of Star Trek and representative of the myth that is Gene's Vision, and he bitches about it and calls it absurd.
Words fail me right now.
