Researchers say they have made a significant step towards Drexlerian nanotechnology - programmable atomically precise manufacturing

While kdramas having been established in global popularity, cdramas are having a bit of a moment with international audiences.

Pursuit of Jade was recently the first to crack mainland China production to crack the Netflix non-English language top ten, and stayed on it for several weeks.

Outside China, cdrama fans seem to intersect with Star Trek fans more than one might expect. Perhaps it’s the willingness to watch massive numbers of episodes to enjoy a series? cdramas typically come in with 40 episode series, and in earlier years some had 60 or 70 episodes.

So, it seems inevitable that Star Trek cdrama fans would want to fancast reboots of classic Star Trek legacy characters with top Chinese Idol drama actors.

More are in the works for some of the women characters.

From the original post:

• ⁠Tan Jianci righteously commanding as Xiang-Luc Picard mic drop 🎤

• ⁠Liu Yuning looking so natural in Starfleet uniform. He definitely plays the saxophone […and towers over everyone at 1.91 metres.]

• ⁠Hou Minghao as Captain Kirk, absolutely seducing an alien woman on a distant planet while the away team pretends not to notice

⁠Deng Wei as Spock/Data 🖖

• ⁠Deng Wei also somehow managing the wearing of a hair accessory on his face (it is the future, luxury brands have collapsed, so the House of Chanel has had to pivot into quantum optics and interface technology)

Yesterday I decide watch another TOS episode, I like "Let THat Be Your Last Battlefield".

Something I notice people forget about old Star Trek is how the enterprise was capable of terraforming entire planets or even decontainment it in just a seconds in the episode.

This is also funny to me because Spore game did the playeable spaceship into capable of creating life or destroying it at player's will.

I have the feeling Star Trek writers just forget about this.

What you think about this enterprise feature?

Have you ever mixed up episode titles to a degree that the stories would be humorous if the titles were swapped? For a long time I confused “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” and “Miri”. Imagine if there was an episode about kids turning into robots or a a virus that made robots act like kids.

It makes me so happy that this documentary was produced as an Asian American fan. I want the directors to autograph my Blu-ray in Vegas.

I saw a lot of names, canon, and not canon, I know there is constitution and sovereign class, it can have names of locations of earth.

Lower decks ship is the Cerritos, which is a "California" class, together with other ones which I presume have name cities or provinces of that state, but since Lower Decks is more comedy, I start to have doubts about the true canon name and ranks of each ship, since the fanpages and wikis put ships which are doubtly canon.

Most of the time are just names like Rio Grande, but I think that was a shuttlecraft or a runabout.

So still, I don't get the criteria of ranks of names for the ships in general.

This are the kind of doubts I have when I try to understand things related with the lore.

EDIT: So, reading a bit, historically aircraft carrier enterprise was class Nimitz because, well, they like the name, so I can give an idea how can work in Star Trek. I didn't know ships have "class" and random names, I always thought it was more logically choosen. Like, they make 10 ships which are from one class, and given with a name for each one, probably throwing a bottle on it.

Sumarise: Now I know ships has random names and class with all similar ships, but class is not equal of ranks or something. Like hierarchy, that's why I didn't get it.

I didn't know all of this before posting this.

I am so excited! More so for the Asian representation! And entire O’Brien Family photo!

So this is a question I think about and tonight an episode aired and im likely practically for sure its my favorite scene of any trek. Granted most of my favorite trek scenes involve spock.

EDITED - so glad I made this post. Its cool to see or hear about peoples scenes.
