I love that one of those names is real.

I mean how much more ridiculous could you get?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

No more at all. It's mathematically perfect.

T'lyn

Insane Vulcan (Most sane person on the show)

Compared to a normal person, yes. Compared to anyone on the Cerritos, she's more logical than Sarek

I can just imagine Boimler popping up and going "Mariner! You can't say that!"

T'Lyn is basically Daria, or Vulcan Aubrey Plaza added to the ensemble, and I'm here for it. She's such a welcome contrast to the other character personalities, but somehow still manages to be almost as chaotic.

Vulcan Aubrey Plaza

Terrific description 😀 Also, I'd commit light treason to see Plaza play a vulcan in LD

Also one of my favorite characters. She's hysterical and I did not expect that, or at least to that extent. I love her.

Also moopsy.

D&D Beyond

This is entirely too clever. And accurate.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, my favorite part of the meme for sure. It works on so many levels lol

Ensign Demoted is like having Kai Winn as a main character for me...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Wha? How do you mean?

EDIT

I interpreted your comment as equating Mariner with Kai Winn.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I named my cat Mariner because of the character. She's actually my favorite star trek character of all time.

I want off Mr. Nightmare Fuel's wild ride.

Ransom is less bisexual and more buysexual. You know that dude is dropping the credits for the deluxe horga’hn on his shore leave trips.

Are these the same creators as Inside Job? Loved that show. Getting strong inside job vibes

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Nope, made by a great guy named Mike McMahan. He was a writer on Rick and Morty before co-creating a show with Justin Roiland. Then he got this gig. He's a huge Star Trek fan and exceptionally funny himself. The show is really well done without compromising on typical Star Trek ideals and morals. Also includes more easter eggs than you can shake a bat'leth at. It's an awesome ride.

Does inside job get better? I watched the pilot and it just felt so insanely forced to me. I really was struggling to actually laugh with it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It gets good enough that I was pissed when they cancelled it.

Man Disenchantment just can't get it together. The first 3 episodes are fantastic too. They keep over-complicating and papering over things that spin out of control. I don't know if the Groening team just can't handle a serialized show or what it is, but the show just never comes together. They abandon every thread that's interesting too!

I kept watching until this latest season. I keep saying "unless this one is good I'm done," and they just don't quite get there. It's a consistent C+.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This most recent season is the last, so you might as well finish it off. It doesn't really get better from what I've seen, though. It's a weird thing where I like the setting and characters well enough, but not the plot. It'd make a great video game.

I wanted so much more from Disenchantment, which is ironic in retrospect. The writing just felt like Mr. Baggins' morning toast with too little butter scraped across it. Each season could be compressed down to a movie with very punchy dialogue and good comedy beats. Instead, it's kind of a drawn out slog where the animation is doing a lot of heavy lifting for most scenes.

What show is this? A star trek adult cartoon or?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Exactly that: Lower Decks! It's absolutely brilliant. The first season was a bit rough in places but the rest have been 🤌 There was even a Lower Decks crossover episode in Strange New Worlds, it was possibly the best thing ever
