Last night, I was wowed by the stunning IMMERSED IN STARLIGHT experience at Bristol Museum featuring the stellar photography of Lee Pullen. Profoundly moving images of nebulae and galaxies, all taken from a garden in glorious #bristol.

Thank you!
I had to use Milliput to fill the gaps!

Hurrah!
I watched the first series of Prodigy straight through. So well done.
Ah yes. What I’ve seen of Lower Decks has been superb. Need to get back to it.
I’ve flipped flopped on so much modern Trek. Discovery largely left me cold, and Strange New Worlds has been great but I’ve wanted Trek to look forward rather than back for so long. This show is the first one that has really clicked for me in the last decade or so.
True. And history is replete with it. I guess the word has a negative connotation for me that I don’t specifically see in this show. As I said, everyone is different, and everyone sees different things in art and entertainment, which is exactly the way it should be.
Yup. Season 2 is confirmed. Beyond that, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I think a lot of the reporting on the break in productions is click baiting, but if there is a gap then we also have 60 years of shows and films to revisit.
Well, I think on that we’ll just have to agree to differ. To me, it looks like storytelling.
They’ve just wrapped filming on season 2 I think? Beyond that I reckon there will be more Star Trek. There have been gaps in productions before and I’m sure there will be again, plus comics, books and so on.
This iteration doesn’t feel particularly propaganda-led to me, just like it’s reflecting aspects of contemporary culture – which the franchise has always done. I’m sure there were people watching TOS at the time who thought it was pushing a particular worldview. Same in the 80s. Same in the 90s.
Hope you enjoy it.
Not everything can unfortunately. Some Trek series have left me cold. It’s a form of IDIC, I guess.
For one hour a week, it makes me feel like I did when I first watched TNG all those years ago.
Personally, I feel that this is the most Trek series in terms of philosophy and outlook for years, something actually looking forward rather than being a prequel — albeit one with plenty of callbacks. As a guy in my 50s, I’m not the target demographic, but, boy, am I loving it.
I think the thing is that this is only one ‘flavour’ of Star Trek. The franchise has constantly changed and adapted. Some have been to my taste, others haven’t been, but the great thing is that there’s usually something else on the horizon.
Oh, most of the time in these situations I think… grow up!
As for how only older people are only concerned with morality, I’m not getting that read from it personally. Certainly, the older characters are genuinely wiser, although some of them make some pretty big mistakes along the way.
I think, in the long run, all the younger characters realise that if they muck around they get their arses kicked — a trope across all school type shows (and in real life too!) Also, I’ve known a few starship captains who were irresponsible in their lives.
Apparently, some toe-rag is impersonating me on Facebook to try to scam people.
Please do not accept any friend requests and report if you see them pop up!
Thanks!

Daniel Radcliffe refusing to wear Alyssa Liu's gold medal because it feels like "stolen valour" is the most Daniel Radcliffe thing that Daniel Radcliffe has ever done. What a superstar.
(Found via threads, original source unclear - but thank you!)
I spent enough time being bullied for liking things like Star Trek & Star Wars as a kid. There’s no way I’m going to be bullied by people claiming they’re Star Trek or Star Wars fans as a 52-year-old man now. Come at me & you’ll get blocked and ignored — while I’ll be over here enjoying what I love.
Oh, I ignore those ranting and raving and make up my own mind. If I like something I talk about it. If I don’t, I move on to something more to my liking. There’s too my energy wasted on light and fury in the real world, let alone my escapism!
It was so well done.
Just watched it. Wow.
OK, episode eight of Starfleet Academy… Beautiful. Inspiring. Pure Star Trek. A perfect example of the show I’ve loved all these years. Bravo.
