Okay, I'll give you Code of Honor.

As a purist, I'd say watch them all and in release order, but if you really have to be choosy with your time, here's a list of things you can skip (in my opinion):

  • Star Trek Into Darkness
  • Discovery (whole show)
  • Picard S1 and S2
  • Short Treks

I know suggesting skipping Discovery outright is going to be seen as... extreme, but I suggest doing so only if time is a crucial factor. It's a dizzyingly uneven show with the lowest points of quality in all of Trek. However, it also has some incredible highs and some truly great characters, so if you find the time to watch it, you should. And I know I'm in the minority on this, but I found Short Treks to be unwatchable.

On the flip side, Lower Decks is incredible, and Strange New Worlds is good. The third season of Picard is excellent. Prodigy is a little weird but it's got a lot of strength. Star Trek Beyond is also a surprisingly good movie.

holy shit that would have been great, or this creepy motherfucker

The Tholians are at the top of my list. I was absolutely thrilled when it seemed that ENT was going to properly examine them; it's a huge shame they never got the chance. STO tried to tackle them, but they were heavily limited by the bounds of canon.

A very close second - though they've definitely gotten more love since ENT - are the Andorians. My biggest problem with Trek's portrayal of the Federation is that it's very much a Humans Club. At best, it seems like the Four Founders are really the Humans, their babysitters the Vulcans, and the two jerks they found.

Would love to dig in more on the political realities of the balance of power between Earth, Vulcan, Andor, and Tellar.

it's so weird, the lemmy.world instances aren't showing up for me in my searches. Maybe it's a server thing

[–] tymon@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks - how do I actually access that? When I copy that into the community search, nothing comes up except for your comment, and it's not showing up in google

[–] tymon@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I probably should have planned for this weeks ago. Things are gonna get sticky

I swear If i'm about to be sucked into some looking-glass or magical shoe I'm gonna be pissed

Holy shit. This might be the winner

It never even occurred to me to put a sign up advertising the bounty of the tree. This might be simplest. But on the off chance no one takes me up on that, I'll still have almost 300 plums. I'll check out that webzone, thanks

Having never made a jam or a jelly of any kind, I'm hesitant to try this, but it might be a good option. Do you have a favorite plum jam recipe?

Thou need not speak so formally, friend

For example, this comment links to another community on another instance, but when clicked on, you're not actually able to interact with anything on that community, because you're suddenly not logged in.

It's doesn't function like linking to a subreddit, and I understand that that's because of federation, but is there a better way of doing this? It seems... very stupid that linking to a page would suddenly "log you out" for all intents and purposes, while searching that same community wouldn't.

Does this make sense?
