i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake
fabulous

Am I onto something here?
Or maybe I'm just tripping
But at the risk of sounding too lofty or philosophical, I think that there's a dialectical relationship between story and lore, between canon and creative freedom, between Watsonian and Doylist interpretations.
If the dialectic is two opposing concepts or ideas coming together to synthesize something new then that's exactly what all these things do for each other.
People say that no one cares about lore, but its existence can elevate a story and make it unique and immersive.
People argue that canon bogs down creativity in long running shared storytelling univdrses, but rarely have I ever encountered a world that had no unanswered questions, no vaguely detailed eras or locations, or no room for new characters doing new things.
The Watsonian critic cares only for what can happen from the perspective in-universe, while the Doylist cares only for real-world constraints and practicalities, but the decisions made when writing the story determine the explanations that come from within it.
On one hand, this isn't Star Trek's first hiatus, on the other hand, none of those other times were during a 1930s-style fascist takeover of the United States

The way I see utopia in star trek is that not that the Federation is a perfect society wherein nothing goes wrong and everyone is good but rather one where is a group of people organize around an issue seeking to expand justice and equality, the people who counter that are either nonexistent or powerless. You aren't rebuffed by a teacher when you bring up you being bullied. Your sexist supervisor is removed and disciplined without you having to fight for it. That's what makes the Federation a better future imo
Not that i ever thought there was a secret 9th episode (only heard the rumor today), but seeing this post hit me with a pang of sadness for the show. I enjoyed all the seasons, even if the show deteriorated over time and ended poorly.
Stranger Things always gave me this weirdly specific nostalgic feeling (something about the music, cinematography, and characters) for my own childhood even though I grew up 20 years later.
I really want to go back and re-watch it all but I'm not sure if I want to knowing that every happy moment between all the darkness won't matter.
From the beginning of reality to the heat death of the universe
This is my scope when I look at fictional universes, for better or worse. The more differences from our world, the more I feel this way.
I said it as a joke in a discord server but I think I'm partially serious when I say that Star Trek will be complete when we have detailed canon from the beginning of reality till the heat death of the universe.
This is why i dont like retcons or reboots, and deep down i think a lot of the canon and continuity fans are feeling this too; its like, "What do you mean you 'have to reboot the franchise in order to tell new stories' theres still hundreds of years of unexplored plot"?
hello there (TOS: Metamorphosis)
bonus:
do not. respond to my doylist criticism with a watsonian explanation.
(to translate: Do not respond to my criticism about how the artist wrote/designed the work by explaining the in-universe explanation for it. The author chose the rules that made that explanation happen; they are not bound by these laws.)
if i had a tricorder there's nothing i wouldn't scan. rock. leaf on ground. poison ivy. my houseplants. crawfish. catfish. my food. a spicy mcchicken. my coworkers. my sisters. bowling ball at the bowling alley. old book. a penis if I could find one. Casey's sweet tea. more rocks?
What do you scan first with your new tricorder?
Rock
Leaf on ground
My food
A spicy mcchicken
My coworkers
My sisters
Bowling ball at the bowling alley
Old book
A penis if I could find one
Casey’s sweet tea
More rocks?

Poor Spock, who lost his hair on an away mission.
i cant believe there are people who still havent seen this video
I could probably recite this entire video, word-for-word, on demand.
Goddamn, this is nearly thirty years old and it fits like a glove into contemporary shitpost cadence and aesthetics, this is High Art

IT BETTER NOT BOUNCE OR YOU’RE A DEAD MOTHERFUCKER
Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

One reply says "I understand; I too 'lost track' of my father when he accompanied me to the Vulcan Learning Centre in a garish and unnecessary shade of grey"
Replies are split between Vulcans agreeing he took the correct course of action and humans begging to see a "garish and unnecessary shade of grey"
Data was an artist on a level organics cannot achieve and I appreciate him.
“you may experience the emptiness with me if you wish” is all at once 1) a very cool thing to say and 2) unbearably romantic
"Data doesn't feel things" "Data has no emotions" oh yeah? Then explain this whole scene
