hopesdead@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•BREAKING: Elon Musk Calls For Trump to Be Impeached4·16 hours agoI’m sure we are wanting this for very different reasons.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Phrase the Prophets!English1·2 days agoThis isn’t licensed nor are these based on actual in-show designs, but Anne Gregory makes some nice ones you can get on Etsy. Maybe this would be a better alternative? I wouldn’t know how to make an earring. https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnneGregoryJewelry

This scene from "Blood Oath" weighs heavily on my mind.English8·5 days agoMaybe it is something regarding the Bible? A Google search doesn’t bring an exact result for that quote but a bunch of different Bible verses are in the results however.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•Why did Richard Daystrom get a research organization named after them?English5·7 days agoDaystrom Institute is UFP, not Starfleet affiliated. Hence why those who work at Daystrom aren’t Starfleet.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•Why did Richard Daystrom get a research organization named after them?English7·7 days agoI didn’t notice this before but in Alpha canon Daystrom Institute was founded in 2256, before TOS. So this speech doesn’t make sense. The writer probably didn’t know that either.
EDIT: I need to clarify that this information is from “Chose Your Pain”, so it came along after “The Ultimate Computer”.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I like the man on his left reading the shirt9·11 days agoYou can find this on the album Inside Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry was asked to give an example of network notes. For context, just know Gene was a Humanist. He framed The Bible as if it was the script for a television show. Everything pretty much would have been deemed inappropriate.
I know we tease people in modern times who would criticize Jesus of Nazareth for how he has been historically known, but it is wild how a religious text would not been deemed acceptable for 60s or 70s television.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•How long would a shuttle from Earth to Vulcan take?English2·13 days agoYeah, if you go back and watch the video I posted on YouTube, the welcome message that plays when you’re in line specifically says shuttle. It would’ve made more sense if they were runabouts but there’s no evidence that runabouts are even used during the period of Picard season 3.
Based on what I can remember from DS9, runabouts are faster and generally used for longer trips.
EDIT: Is the Federation even adhering to the warp five speed limit anymore? I know it doesn’t get addressed after “Force of Nature”, but is there anything suggesting that the speed limit has been dropped completely by the 25th century?
EDIT 2: The site I linked says 28.19 days.

At least I wasn’t attending a bat’leth tournament.

Excuse me but us Asians have been using air fryers since the 90s.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish8·18 days agoYep. Many people for example mistakenly think Los Angeles is near Disneyland.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish7·18 days ago🤭 Thanks. Unfortunately, unless I planned a better day to Agua Dulce (the city which Vasquez Rocks is located), I wouldn’t dare make the drive again. On a Saturday, there was so much traffic for the 64 mile drive.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish6·18 days agoI mean, Raffi lived here. Memory Alpha says the appearances in PIC are Vasquez Rocks, not a differently named location.

Going back to the Classic Trek tradition of multipart stories bookending and beginning seasons.
