Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x07 “Ko’Zeine”

As our cadets return home for their first school holiday, they must choose between what their families expect of them and their own dreams for the future — including an aspiring captain who’s secretly willing to risk everything to re-write her own past, and an aristocratic cadet called to serve his planet way before he’s ...

Another week, another episode I enjoyed. I'm not super sure how Genesis didn't think they were going to get caught when they activated the impulse and warp engines.

I don't know what is happening between Jay-Den and Darem but I am here for it.

I thought maybe that access card she made out of programmable matter was allowing her to do it, but who knows.

First, I just wanted to say that you’re a treat to watch on Academy and I can’t wait to see where your story goes! It’s always great to see a species fleshed out in Trek, in this case a Klingon that has other pursuits than that of a warrior.

Were you initially intimidated by the fact that you are playing a character that is part of a species that has decades of culture built up to this point? If so, how did you prepare for the role? If not, I can’t tell because you’ve been great so far.

I've only played two hours so far, but the game currently has the feeling of one of those "just one more turn..." games.

I'm having a lot of fun.

I’m not sure what type of episode I was expecting this week but it certainly wasn’t this. What a fantastic episode. Every scene with Ake and Braka was perfect. Holly Hunter did most of the acting this week with her facial expressions instead of words, but you can hear every moment.

Though I wish we would have saw her, Discovery name drop!

Oh yeah, Intrepid Class sighting! If only it hadn’t gotten its ass kicked.

I’ve watched this a handful of times and really enjoy it. It is kind of long, if I remember correctly.

I hate to admit this, but I grew up on TNG at a time when TOS was no longer on broadcast TV. I've tried to watch it in the past but was never able to make it passed episode 2.

The last week, I've been watching TOS on the star Trek channel on Pluto TV and can say that I am quite enjoying the entire experience.

Before TOS started, I watched TNG from Descent to All Good Things on the same channel.

I made this Tetris themed bead-woven bracelet

A photo of a seed bead woven bracelet against a white background. The bracelet is 10 beads wide. It has a pattern 40 rows long consisting of interlocking tetris pieces, and is bordered on either end with black beads. It has silver slider clasps with a lobster claw clasp on one end and a chain on the other.

This is really neat! How long did it take you? Were the tetriminoes preplanned or did you just kind of go with it?

Thanks for sharing this picture. They’re adorable! I wonder if this means they didn’t store enough food for the winter or if they just enjoy eating. Haha

While I had a great time going to school at UTA, Arlington has always been run by trash people.

You a fellow Maverick? I wouldn’t mind reading a rant! Haha

Good lord. I lived either on campus or in north Arlington near River Legacy (which credit where it’s due, Arlington has a fantastic park with River Legacy) so I avoided those two towns. I love hearing anti cop rants so that’s fine.

While I think having the character be the copy of the doctor would have been neat, I think I would have been sad that it wasn’t the original doctor. I’m glad to hear this.

I was watching the X-Files last night and saw a dude who looked very familiar. Suder from Voyager. in X-Files he's playing a psychopathic serial killer who is psychic. In Voyager he's a betazoid psychopath. And I sent it to cm0002 like "lol this is funny" and he said I wonder if he's been in anything recent. So I looked him up. ...

Wow. I had no idea that Suder and Wormtongue were the same actor. That’s crazy

I finally got my husband to watch The Voyage Home (he isn't a huge Trek fan) and he loved it! I thought a not-so-serious movie might be a good way to get him interested.

I’m currently on season 4 of a Mama’s Family rewatch. I’ve always loved this show!

They released it digitally a few years ago so I bought it on Apple TV. I have never seen it on a streaming service.

Meanwhile, Texas is having a pretty awful measles outbreak and the US is a few months away from losing its measles elimination status. Anti-vaxxers are so short sighted.

I'm not a law person, but to the best of my knowledge, its OK to gerrymander on party lines, just not racial lines. I think California would be fine here. They are being sued as well so we will see how it goes.

end0fline OP ,
@end0fline@piefed.social avatar

I read this on the sfgate:

Prop. 50 originally included “trigger language,” redistricting expert Paul Mitchell explained to SFGATE, that stipulated that California’s map would be implemented only if Texas carried on with its plan to add five Republican seats. If Texas decided to not move forward, then California would not either, even if voters approved Prop. 50.

That language was taken out at the last minute this summer after the Texas Legislature expedited its approval of the map in August and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott quickly signed it into law.

For any trekkies out there, this show is directed by Robert Duncan McNeal(Paris from Voyager). It has been on my must watch list for a minute. Glad to hear it’s good!

Thanks for this one. It’s exactly my type of game yet I’ve never heard of it.

We made a Super Fun, Open-source, Community-driven Platform for learning Japanese

As a long time Japanese learner, I always wanted there to be a simple online trainer for learning kana, Kanji and vocabulary - no ads, no account sign-ups, nothing. Originally, I created the website for personal use simply as a better alternative to kana pro and realkana, and as an alternative to Chase Colburn’s Kanji Study ...

This seems like a neat project on which I wish you the best. I'll definitely be adding a bookmark to the homepage and will check it out periodically.

This part made me laugh. This all could have been avoided if the company had been a good neighbor and worked with these people to correct the issue without it coming to them incorporating and setting up ordinances.

I'm at the point with companies where I hope this drives them out of business.

As far as I can tell this is going to be a free update. The only charge will be for people who want to “upgrade” to the Switch 2 version.
