“Lower Decks was made by people who hate Star Trek”

No, lower decks was made by people who love Star Trek enough to make an entire show about everything Star Trek is, to put in references to episodes that barely anyone knows about, to watch all of Star Trek enough to know every stereotype and running gag in the fandom, and to still make the show able to stand on its own 2 feet.

They put in a reference to the animated series episode “the infinite Vulcan” where Spock is cloned to be a massive Vulcan, they put in a reference in the comics about “The way to Eden” in their first edition, these are people who care about Star Trek enough to find every nook and cranny of it, and create a likeable show about it.

I am also a firm believer that if you truly like a show, you are able to point out that it does have flaws, and to accept that, and I feel that lower decks does that perfectly. It shows that your little perfect Star Trek show has flaws and inconsistencies, but shows that you can still enjoy watching the show, as well as you can fix those mistakes or just have it be funny.

I really like lower decks. 🫠

frontlawnfood

Lower Decks is a love-letter to the fandom, a masterclass in canon references and tiptoe-or-maybe-just-ram-your-way-through-the-plot-holes storytelling,, crafted by people who are #goals Trek nerds. Life-long Trekkies *aspire* to that kind of comprehensive, encyclopediac knowledge of canon, okay? The entire show is utterly brilliant in the way only truly clever satire can be, and yet still so deeply, perfectly "real Star Trek" that not only have multiple actors from the classic shows voiced their respective characters thereon to show their support, but it got a CROSSOVER EPISODE with Strange New Worlds. That hasn't happened since the '90s. I love every minute of Lower Decks. Every single moment.

buthowboutno

wow! as a broke college kid, i wish there was a way to access books and movies as well as scientific articles that the new administration isn't necessarily a fan of. man. If only there was a free and trusted vpn ( up to 10 gigs of downloadable data) to use in conjunction with an anonymizing router (also free up to 10 gigs) to safely, er, permanently borrow media in an untraceable way as well as share files. Man, what's that browser that keeps your online activity anonymous? I'm awfully attached to firefox, personally. If only i had a browser extension that would throw a smoke screen over my browsing data while blocking ads at the same time.

what was i talking about? hmm. weird.

I went looking for this today, wanting to show it to a friend who had never seen it, and found to my horror that one of my favorite pieces of Star Trek lore was only available as a Snapshot on the Wayback Machine and thus in imminent danger of being lost forever. Therefore, I present to you, gentle reader, "The Footnote" by Judith Gran, who at the time of its writing held the position of Dean at the Thurgood Marshall School of Law in Houston, Texas.

“How did the court get so much power that it can overrule both Congress and the president, ignore efforts to hold justices accountable when they are nakedly corrupt, and overturn laws like our bribery statutes? Who put them in charge of America? The simple answer, as I lay out in detail in The Hidden History of the Supreme Court and the Betrayal of America, is that the justices gave that power to themselves. Not only is such power for the court not found anywhere in the Constitution, but Article 3, Section 2 explicitly puts the Supreme Court under the thumb of Congress, not the other way around: In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make. [emphasis added] The Founders and Framers were very clear about this, even though that notorious liar Sam Alito wasn’t when he recently wrote in The Wall Street Journal: “No provision in the Constitution gives [Congress] the authority to regulate the Supreme Court—period.””

—

The Supreme Court Was Never Meant to Be Kings and Queens

This stolen, illegitimate, corrupt, right wing SCOTUS majority has no legal or moral right to impose its tyrannical, christian nationalist agenda on an entire nation.

Remember several years ago when it was pretty common to caveat some complaint with "first world problems"? Even though it was its own kind of obnoxious, I wish we'd kept to an internet culture where people could recognize when they exist in a place of privilege, instead of this thing we do now where we pretend that the world's problems and traumas are somehow experienced collectively and thus shared by even the most privileged, so even a person living safely in the U.S. whose worst hardship of the week was their AT&T phone not working for a few hours feels perfectly comfortable going online and claiming that their individual life is awful due to a vague "everything" being objectively "terrible." The loss of perspective, that's a real #firstworldproblem.

annacaffeina

I think of this as "stolen grief" when someone with a comfortable first world life starts saying that they cannot experience any happiness in their lives because (insert conflict here) is happening (insert place here) and (insert people here) are suffering.

I genuinely think these people have been deluded by social media into thinking that this performative wailing and lamenting is in some way 'raising awareness' or 'creating change'. I think they genuinely believe that anyone capable of living a content life is inherently a bad person.

In the meantime someone in Wisconsin (or wherever) displaying an active grief for the suffering of (people) in (place) at the expense of their own mental health is contributing nothing to that situation, and making the real suffering of (people) in (place) about their own discomfort and pain. We have to end (conflict) so first world people can sleep better at night. It's honestly rotten.

Social media has created its own version of religious displays of piety in the public square. putting on passion plays of their own stolen grief and stoicism of enjoyment. The only public moments of pleasure they are allowing themselves is when they slap a scarlet C on anyone they deem too un-pious and label a colonizer. Then they can joyfully throw rocks at them until they drive them from the internet. Then they can return to flogging themselves for going to work when other people are suffering.

I hate it.

myfootyrthroat

I also see cases where the person in Wisconsin will be chastised for talking about police brutality/queer legal challenges/women's rights in Wisconsin because "other people have real problems". Which puts people in a weird bind where the only problems they're "allowed" to focus on are ones they can't change.

Fáilte, a chairde!

Coined by agricultural researcher Eliot Coleman, the term "Persephone Days" refers to the period during which a given location receives less than 10 hours of sunlight per day, because below that threshhold most plants slow their growth to almost nothing, even if the temperatures are warm enough to survive. And we're not so different from our beloved plandaí. See, we humans slow down too, in large part because our bodies process vitamin D from sunlight hitting our skin. We're not set up to function at our peak when it's dark and cold, we're just not. We are supposed to hunker down somewhere warm & dry with plenty of food stored away, and share body heat & stories with our nearest & dearest until the sun comes back. (But noooooooo, we in our infinite wisdom have determined as a species that uninterrupted productivity is a moral requirement. Whose idea was that anyway?!?)

As I am in NE Ohio, today is the last day below 10 hours of daylight for me. We have picked up almost 42 minutes of Day since the winter solstice.

Wednesday is the last day of Winter on the old Irish calender I follow.

Thursday is Imbolc, the first day of spring.

In 3 more weeks, the sun will set at 6pm.

The spring equinox is exactly 7 weeks away.

Hang in there, a chairde. The dark half the year is almost done.

Slán go fóill!

Also like, transit doesn't need to make a profit, it creates money by allowing people to move easier. We dump hundreds of billions into the interstates and they have never made a singe cent of money back for us because we know the money created by allowing for the movement of individuals outways the money spent

Hi Mr Gaiman,

Why did Aziraphale play the role of gardener while Crowley is more professional with plants and Aziraphale would be better suited to be a nanny? (kind and caring character, all that angelic stuff)

Thanks

Life was ever thus.

frontlawnfood

I mean, if the kid's nanny was *nice* and staying indoors/close to the house was pleasant, he'd have no real motivation to go hang out with the mean nasty old groundskeeper always telling him to demand his own way & squash things. A devoted but definitively scary & disturbing nanny pushed him to go spend equal time with mister all-life-is-sacred out in the garden. Which was the point.

neil-gaiman

Hi Neil,

Sorry if this is trivial but I'm a bit confused re: the Hugo Award. Isn't it an American award? What does it have to do with Chinese censorship?

Thanks!

The Hugo Award isn't an American Award. It's an award given by (and at) the World Science Fiction Convention, which moves around. In 2023 the Worldcon was in Chengdu, China.

In previous years the Hugo process has been commendably transparent.

This year a number of books, people, and things that people nominated, in order that they be on the voting ballot, were declared "ineligible" and did not appear on the voting ballot.

No explanation has been given for why this was or why any of the individual works were ineligible. No explanation has been given for why no explanation can be given, other than "after we reviewed the constitution and the rules we must follow, we determined the work was not eligible," with no explanation of what the "rules they must follow" are.

There is a not-unwarranted suspicion here that it has to do with Chinese censorship. Other explanations would happily be entertained but the complete lack of information is difficult to deal with.

jeanjauthor

Deliberate lack of information is censorship, folks.
