  • I thought it's the fat one

  • Spock in SNW brings his portrayal in The Cage in alignment with the rest of TOS. In that episode, he smiles and has a more relaxed demeanor. If you watch TOS again, Leonard Nimoy plays Spock as oblivious to human emotional expression without being robotic. I actually find Ethan Peck's portrayal to be more rigid than Nimoy's. The Peck Spock tends to either suppress his emotion to the degree that he can appear monotonous and stiff, or fail to suppress emotions and experience outbursts. Around 10 years later, the Spock in TOS finds a balance and seems to have found a balance between emotional expression (including sarcasm and low-key passive aggressiveness against Dr. McCoy) and logic. That's good character development imo

    Edit: Not to mention Spock's final words in the 2009 movie where he tells his alternate self not to think too hard about logic and do what feels right. That's Spock's arc ends and resolves his internal conflict that lasted over decades.

  • That Vulcans cannot feel emotions because of their biology. They actually suppress them and have been trained to do that since they are children.

  • Very true. We are misled by how Worf tries to be a stereotypically honorable Klingon because he is culturally human. He has little knowledge of how Klingons raised in Qonos understand honor.

  • Now, how are we going to deal with smaller instances calling themselves the Marquis?

  • Those might be the wrong words. I wanted to say that she analyzes Trek through the lens of the critical theory as applied to gender and inclusive feminism.

  • It's good to see Kirsten Beyer back in the writer's room. It could be her that this episode reminds me of Workforce from VOY where the away team forget about their identities and keep on working for the planet government.

    I felt the pacing was a bit rushed at the end and the episode could have given more time to explore the Kalar man's memories and history so his arch is more earned.

  • Who voiced the computer? It sounds like Kate Mulgrew

  • Here is the answer from the actor himself. Andre Dae Kim was busy filming Vampire Academy in Spain and could not return due to scheduling conflicts.

  • You don't understand Lemmy. Feel free to host your own instance with your conservatives views. It will likely get defederated by other instances, but nobody's stopping you.

  • Is one carbon atom the same as another carbon atom, philosophically? Can you keep your identity when all your atoms are replaced by other atoms of the same kind? It's the ship of Theseus problem

  • According to Memory Alpha, the barrier appears in at least three TOS episodes: "Where No Man Has Gone Before", "By Any Other Name", and "Is There in Truth No Beauty?"

  • When's the funeral?

  • It really helps if people speak literally and not use metaphors like this. It's so hard to understand when people mean it or if they are exaggerating or trying to be funny. I don't find it funny.

  • To see Lemmy content on kbin, just add the full address of the Lemmy instance to the end of the kbin URL. For example, https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] lets you see content from [email protected] on https://kbin.social.

    The other way round should also work (ie. to see kbin content on Lemmy), but for some reason it's not working on major Lemmy instances for me, even though they are federated to kbin.social and other kbin instances.

  • Lemmy and kbin are two different forum software that can be installed and run on servers. Because both use the ActivityPub protocol, the content between them can be shared. So, a Lemmy user will be able to see content from a server running kbin, using Lemmy.

  • Not for long if the migration continues
