@gregorum I was actually ok with the political aspects of the prequels. I just thought that, personally speaking, the writing was pretty clunky and heavy-handed. I think Andor showed there’s plenty of room to do political intrigue in the Star Wars universe.

@setsneedtofeed @startrek Which never made any sense in any timeline.

@CCMan1701A @startrek I haven’t liked Discovery or Picard, but I’ve *really* enjoyed Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks has been a surprising delight.

@Doug @startrek That scene was pure fan service, and after a decade in the wilderness this fan at least *loved* it.

@HeartyBeast @startrek *Please* can we forget them?

@ZenkorSoraz To paraphrase a developer from the ‘80s: “I don't know what the language of the future will look like, but I know it will be called Fortran.”

@MaxMouseOCX @startrek That’s not the criterion for the Bechdel Test — it’s ONE conversation between two women that’s not about a man.

@lonlazarus @startrek The show The Magicians did a musical episode every year that generally was quite good, but again, the premise allowed that kind of fancy.

@Continuumguy @startrek But in its serious mode, without the wacky anti-authoritarian hijinks.

@teft @startrek That is hilarious!

@doleo TOS had a gangsters comedic episode, and a cutesy animals comedic episode.

@cyd True, I guess Hornblower participated in various hijinks even as captain.
