I know, there were some red herrings today that forced you to guess.
In Star Trek, their run-of-the-mill, rarely discussed deflector is doing way more work than anything in the Star Wars universe. The one exception is the world-ender planet lasers which have been a big plot point in too many films and STILL have no plausible means to exist IN THEIR OwN UNIVERSE!
Well, I know GOT S08 was dogshit. Is ST S05 the same? I haven’t made time for it.

3·14 days agoI finally watched Contagion after hearing about it since Covid. It’s eerie how many things they got right about a global pandemic: the blogger with his BS treatment, vilifying the head of the CDC… The list goes on.
I also watched the Deathstalker remake. It was okay, but that was to be expected.
Rage bait, maybe. But I chuckled, and that is good enough for me.

Star Trek@lemmy.zip•What Star Trek media did you watch in the last week? - 12/03/25English
2·28 days agoRewatching DS9 and then listening to The Delta Flyers commentary. I don’t always A/B the episodes, I usually just watch a few to refresh my memory then listen to a few of the podcasts as time allows.
I’m a staunch atheist who likes a holiday.
Jesus was most likely born in the spring or fall a few years earlier than we recognize, if he was even a single person or existed at all. The Church, as it did every time, took existing holidays and co-opted them.
The end of the Roman calendar year is an amalgam of pagan holidays that celebrate the shortest day/longest night. A lot of the traditions we associate with Xmas are celebrating the beginning of the lengthening of the day and the return to life/springtime.
Xmas has always been a meta holiday. Most are. Enjoy the company of friends and family just as people have for millenia, no matter what banner is hanging over the mantle.

So, she shares a name with The Walrus of Love himself, Barry White. Cool. There’s a joke in there somewhere…
