Talking to someone who is excited about something and infodumping on me. Almost whatever it is. When someone is that excited about something, I get excited about it too.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•[Spoilers] Star Trek Is Officially Rewriting ‘Strange New Worlds’ Winning Formula for Season 5English
1·18 days agoThe problem with Strange New Worlds to me is the budget and the number of episodes.
Budget, too high. Number of episodes, too low.
Every star trek has their stinky episodes but when you only have 10 episodes per season, 3 stinky episodes is a 30% stinky show.
Also, the budget being so high allows writers to take a siesta and let the effects team take over for a bunch of oooh ahhh laser spectacles. I have that complaint for the end of Deep Space Nine and Enterprise too. In TNG and TOS era, they had less budget and ability to do effects so the writing had to be excellent since most of the show was people standing on the bridge and talking or sitting around a table and talking.
So Paramount/WB, spend less money, spend all you have on writers and makeup and try a new star trek set directly post-undiscovered-country. Follow a Klingon ship that is pissed about their government being dishonorable and wants to forge their own way. Start the show with the attack on Khitomer. Game of thrones-lite Klingon-Romulan-Federation political intrigue. Cameos of the occasional TNG character at Starfleet academy or whatever. Enjoy the billion dollars WB/Paramount. Not that youll need it as one of the 3 remaining media conglomerates left.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•any life advice for a 20yo? also does manifestation actually workEnglish
6·2 months agoThere’s no magic answer. My best advice having wasted half my life trying to accomplish what seemed like a “good life” I ended up nearly broke and divorced with almost nothing but suffering to show for my time.
Now I pursue what makes me happy and only try to be as successful as I need to be so that I can keep doing what makes me happy. One day I’ll be dead, and then whatever pile of shit I accumulated will be unceremoniously thrown in the trash by a distant relative. But if I can build something or help someone, then that’s what I feel like doing with my time. Its not hedonism but its sort of a disengage ment from the rat race. Im not trying to get rich or gain power, I’m trying to relax and enjoy my life and help people while I can.
People probably say that about asbestos too.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What song lyrics did you mishear that completely changed the meaning of the song?English
6·2 months agoYou can tell by the way I use my wand, Im a woman-man no automaton.
Stayin Alive circa 2001 on my crappy boombox .
Very possibly so. I’m also not a huge believer in the sanctity of lore when you are adapting something to a different medium. IE, didnt miss Tom Bombadil in the Lord if the Rings movies so I’m pretty easy going as long as the adaptation is good in its own right.
Tap for spoiler
But seriously though, fuck Bran. Terrible character, just completely uninteresting and
lameuncool from the word go. Gets Hodor killed, somehow through unexplained time travel causes Hodor’s “hodor” problem. A girl takes him all the way through the frozen north just for him to say, bye now! Trash character. Ser Davos should have been King at the end.
Same here just finished it a few weeks ago.
I never read the books but for my money I thought the last season was really good. It maybe didnt end the way I wanted it to but it wasnt a bad ending by any means.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you use the "uno reverse card"?English
5·2 months agoWe never played that way in my circles but when I would play with 2 people reverse basically did nothing so we would start with 9 cards and reverse would do the same thing as a skip.
Oh no. How come?
