#Star Trek Next Generation

Idk about y'all, but I LOVE this scene

It's so charming to me that the whole crew just puts on this whole elaborate roleplay just for their friend's promotion.

The only ai art I endorse is Data soong’s art

The most surprising thing I have learned from being in many fandoms over the last twenty years.

If actors really believe in a character ship, they will never let a non shippy script stop them from showcasing that ship.

did anyone ever write a fic to explain what she did with all that fabric she bought in the pilot

[comic-sans-chan]

these polls pitting epic ship against epic ship need to stop, they are SO toxic

anyway here's another

[rhizomehaunt]

imagining data has a youtube channel where he chronologically reviews every book in existence do you see my vision

[antagonistic-sunsetgirl]

Unpopular opinion. Like, really unpopular. But Worf really sucks man. It is so chill if you like him! I love the variety of interests in this fandom! And I’ve really enjoyed some episodes with him!

But personally? He’s a terrible dad, he doesn’t learn from others around him like Julian (ds9), Miles, Riker, DATA, Kira Nerys (ds9) and really anyone else does. It’s like a whole Star Trek theme. He sees it fit to meddle violently in other’s relationships (Ezri and Julian), judges very quickly and seldom changes his opinion, respects very few people, AND he’s very susceptible to manipulation and invocations of, well, honour. More rigidly than other Klingons.

I dunno, friends. I think he’s a weirdly static character. But I’m happy to be proven wrong.

Star Trek: Slander

I still haven’t watched ds9 completely sorry guys 😩

GOD I just watched Descent Part Two and boy do I have some THINGS TO SAY!!!!

THIS!! Number one, Brent Spiners acting shines through ONCE AGAIN with the differences between Data/Lore, and I can't!!! Get enough!!!

But this shot!!!

They're having a civil conversation. But there's a power imbalance.

The power, in this episode, sits in Lore. Lore has something Data wants: Emotions. Or access to emotions. He is the only one who can give them to him (and is doing that, although in a twisted sort of way) and Data KNOWS that. He's being manipulated, sure, but he still knows that fact is true. He knows Lore has that power over him, and he's following his lead here.

Yet, the way they're standing.

Data is standing tall, calm with his arms straight at his sides. Showing No Sign of aggression. He's trusting, he's open to be hurt in his position. Only his head moves when he's speaking. And he's speaking calmly, even though Lore has his BEST FRIENDS VISOR in his hand. And with previous knowledge of Lores misdeeds and wrongdoings that's a BIG DEAL. and yet, he's still standing at equal footing with Lore.

Lore though. Lore!!! He's hunched slightly. He's holding the visor in front of him like a shield!!! His facial expression!! He's thinking. He looks frightened even though he's in a position and power And KNOWS IT!! He still cracking wise (which is shown to be his coping mechanism and reflex in difficult situations, like with Dr. Soong) and trying to diffuse situations.

Lore has the power here, but the simple acting of Brent Spiner shows differently.

This shit has me thinking too hard

My thoughts about Star Trek theme music:

1. TOS is iconic

2. I like how TNG’s theme feels so exciting and adventurous. Major exploring vibes.

3. Deep Space Nine has such a gorgeous theme and I will always love it. Makes me feel so many things!!

4. Voyager: One of my absolute favorites! Really has the “Boldly Going” vibe to it.

5. Enterprise: Faith of the Heart is much maligned, and I used to be one of the haters, but the more I watched the show it really grew on me. Now I defend it to the death. I really appreciate that it’s so different.

6. Discovery: LOVE everything about it. I like how it has tiny hints of TOS, but slowly swells into it’s own unique theme. Will happily listen on repeat.

7. Picard: Sweet and nostalgic and haunting. I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the show, since I don’t do grimdark and depressing, but the theme is very lovely.

8. Lower Decks: Upbeat and fun, like the show!

9. Prodigy: Sweet and a little bit haunting, then turns more adventurous.

10. Strange New Worlds: Feels very TOS, but with more percussion. Doesn’t really stand out, but it might grow on me.

Kelvinverse Movies: Michael Giacchino did not have to go so epic, but he did and I’m thankful. The End Credits track for the 2009 movie is one of my most listened to of anything on Spotify. I love how he melded the original theme into the movie theme.

no one: me: wesley crusher was originally leslie crusher so there's a universe in which beverly crusher has a daughter and jean-luc picard got his ass handed to him on the bridge by a brilliant 15-year-girl
