Am I the only one who finds new content for old sci-fi media uncanny? Especially in the case of Star Trek, where these new series and movies display brighter environments and sleeker, more advanced technology than series that take place later have.
Like we have Strange New Worlds, but all the characters are dressed in these modernized outfits, most of the consoles are touch screens, and everywhere is brightly lit. Compare that to TOS's pilot with Captain Pike, where the tech feels more analog because that looked sci-fi in the 60s. There was a charm to the old stinkiness.
It feels so disjointed, because most the other series have built off each other. Technology and fashion advanced from TOS to TNG and onward.
I understand our ability to depict these settings cheaply has improved over time, so this is just a reimagining of old things the show didn't have the budget or ability to show well. I'm also not saying SNW is bad, it just feels uncanny to me.

Annoying my parents as we watch Strange New Worlds with opinions such as “Spock should always have chest hair” and “I don’t like how the Gorn are now just a Purely Evil Species with no redemption”

Deerfoot Refresher
wdym by “catching deerfoot” ? i have a vague memory of deerfoot having a gorey death in BF but don’t remember completely
@figgybeans
[Image ID: Deerfoot from Warrior Cats. He is a solid brown cat with yellow eyes, long whiskers, and dark brown paws, tail tip, and mustache. His upper lip is slightly cleft, permanently showing his front teeth. He's drinking some sort of pink liquid refresher from a glass with a straw.]
Deerfoot is a ShadowClan warrior who has opposed Thistle Law since Brokenstar took power. He's a son of Lizardstripe and Mudfoot, and the brother of Tangleburr and Runningnose.
He was actually one of my first reduxes so I'm super fond of the whole Mudlizard family lmao
Him and Tangleburr are the "two halves" of ShadowClan symbolically. Tangleburr immediately threw her weight behind Runningnose and Brokenstar and enthusiastically supported every campaign they engaged with. Deerfoot meanwhile was working with Nightpelt to plan the coup.
How did he not die during Runningnose's Plague? Maybe he got lucky. Maybe Runningnose couldn't bring himself to kill his brother. In any case, when TigerClan rolled around, Deerfoot did as Deerfoot does and organized the rebels once more.
He meets his end after helping Mistyfoot, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw escape to safety. He was the only cat captured in the 'Great Escape', and refused to snitch on any of his accomplices, paying with his life.
Because of his actions, Reedwhisker, Mosspelt, Stumptail, Mudfur, Jaggedtooth, and others were never discovered as rebels. He saved them all with this sacrifice.

You ever like work on a giant article about the muppetsaga and how it's connected to Strange Aeons, and then your laptop is like it's time to die without any worrying and all your work is gone?
That just happened to me, and I am so annoyed I hate technology. I swear if I could, I would publish this in a paper, or I would send you all this in letters. Can you imagine? Just a stack of letters from the crazy person on tumblr that swears that Strange Aeons is the muppet joker. Honestly, I would subscribe to that.
