When Risa is down and you remember the dark times when Prequels and LOTR ruled the memes (startrek.website)

enterprise blowing up death star

We've won. For now...

[–] Maultasche@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I don't know why, but mixing two different Death Star battles kinda bothers me.

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Not to mention that the enterprise wouldn’t fit within the trench

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

They reversed the polarity smh

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

Oh yeah duh

[–] Venicon@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don’t forget recalibrating the inertial dampeners too.

[–] Waffles@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Modulate the shields.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Well not with that attitude.

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

They obviously entered the spatial anomaly and left it once they reached the size required to fit in the trench

But not the swapping of an X-Wing for a Federation starship?

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 5 points 11 months ago

shhhhh

An elegant community for a more civilized meme

Maybe one day we'll even degrade into Lexx memes

[–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It is happening now, it has happened before, it will surely happen again.

Here's the first season:

https://archive.org/details/lexx-season-one

Be warned, it's very rough around the edges, occasionally soft-core, often outright insane, but also occasionally brilliant. For example, people often credit Buffy for pioneering the musical tv episode, but Lexx did it before. Brigadoom, season 2.

Because it was a crappy show, it gave the writers more freedom to go nuts.

Season 3 gets very philosophical and is often a slog. I gave up on season 4.

If you want another cult show, but with far better production values, check out Farscape. If you've ever watched Stargate, you'll recognize a few of the actors.

Do it. It's one of those shows that will haunt you til the end of time.

[–] armus@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wow Lexx?

[–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

The dead do not poo.

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

Lex never existed. It was all just a collective fever dream. There is no way that was ever real.

Right?

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How about Farscape memes?

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

It's so beautiful!

As some who was a fan of both Farscape and SG-1 that moment was easily the best nerd-gasm I've ever had. Like it was surreal ... "are they actually doing this!?!?"

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

Star Wars memes turned stale almost immediately; Star Trek memes are evergreen.

[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Is Risa down?

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 6 points 11 months ago

Right now? I'm 99% sure no. It might have gone down before but I didn't notice (unless it was when federation broke after updating, but that was almost a week ago)

[–] armus@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago

It was down for a little bit today

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I see a red door and I want it painted black...
