Usually how it starts to be honest lol

I’m sorry but what the absolute fuck is your problem

Probably just the vibes lol also gotta think about the fact that if we hit on the wrong person we can die lol we gotta be careful about that in general. Also I wouldn’t worry about looks either. I’m into dudes that look Seth Rogan and stuff. See the right side of this meme for some my type of omnom. Boop

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES I LOVE IT

I said to a friend that if I saw Paul look at me like he does in that second photo my soul would have left my fucking body. Instant cardiac arrest.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA I NEED IT. If you see it again send it my way <3 If I don’t find it first anyway lmao

Not fucking wrong lmfao

Oh lol no I was referring to:

SAM does work though lol

OH MY GOD SHE COULD HOLD MOOPSY WITH NO PROBLEM

What’s Her Name being Holly Hunter’s character? Nahla Ake? I’m still struggling on names too, don’t worry lmfao Lura Thok is the one that fucks me up the most but Gina Yashere did such a good/hilarious job.

Honestly that was my reaction too. Deeply worried about the show and hesitant but willing to watch it just for him. I fell in love with basically everything in the show. As much as I love Discovery… this I think is better. Still love the USS Discovery more than the USS Athena though.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (Released in 2026) takes place in 32nd Century (Discovery-Era) and follows a group of 1st-year Cadets going to the Academy, the Academy itself also for the first time going back to Earth after 100 years under the chancelorship of Captain Nahla Ake (played by Holly Hunter). It also has returning faces like Robert Picardo as The Doctor/EMH from Star Trek: Voyager as the lead Medical Officer for Starfleet Academy and Tig Notaro as Jett Reno, an instructor at the Academy, and features a new hero ship, the USS Athena, a ship that ‘docks’ with San Francisco to act as both campus and training vessel for the Academy.

The primary plot of the first season revolves around one of these students, Caleb Mir, attempting to find his mother after being seperated from her as a child. He does this with the help of Captain Nahla Ake, the woman who seperated him from his mother. The only person they know who is connected to the disappearance of his mother is Nus Braka (played by Paul Giamatti), a criminal guilty of murder and so much more.

Generally, the show explores the difficulties of finding your place in the world and trying to find your personal path. While this is a ‘teenagery’ and ‘CW’ style narrative, it never actually feels like it’s aimed at teenagers. Nor does it feel light, glib or trite. Just like the best Star Treks, there are moments where your heart sinks and moments where it soars.

Give it a shot <3

NO GODDAMMIT FIX IT. GET RID OF THE SHOES AND MAKE HER SIT COMFORTABLY

Seriously though. As a gay man I felt so seen through both you-know-who (well all of them) but also the fact that she can’t sit in a fucking chair correctly. None of us apparently can.

He’s the main villain of Starfleet Academy lol thus the out of context.

I was genuinely fucking worried about Starfleet Academy. All the posters made it look really teenager-y and a lot of the branding felt that way too. Then it opens with the Federation seperating a mother from her child in a dark as fuck trial. Me and a buddy I met here on Lemmy watched every episode of the season together on Plex and we were surprised everytime but no more than that. We both had the same kinda thoughts, although me more worried than him I think, but were shocked at how well it took it around.

Only real issue that we both had and completely agreed on (minor disagreements are always to be expected but especially with us… a venn diagram that barely overlaps. Love you bro <3) was they used some pop music during the first and final episode we could have done without. But otherwise?

Added brand new worlds and civilizations. Added new cultures. Expanded on Star Trek lore and what happened with Sisko. Gave a satisfying narrative conclusion to some of The Doctor’s story/suffering from some stuff in Voyager/Prodigy. Did the typical reflection of the world through Star Trek (seperating kids from families is just the start of it), screamed hope/optimism/empathy/love/compassion from every rooftop, eye candy to fuck with them seeming to have designed the outfits almost exclusively for showing off one of the guys enormous-ass muscles (and enormous ass-muscles). And most importantly?

Paul Giamatti as the campiest and Star Trek-iest villain since Q and Harry Mudd. Kind of a mix of both to an extent. Dude was acting the fucking paint off of the walls. It was absolutely fucking incredible. Also Holly Hunter as Captain was a fantastic choice. I stan Captain No Shoes.

People gonna love/hate it. But it’s doing shockingly well critically. Most of the complaints have been based around it being not like the older Treks but Trek doesn’t stay stagnant. It boldly goes. Explores strange new opportunities and expands on the world. No part of it stamps down on what came before, it just builds off of giants. If people don’t like it, meh. Don’t gotta watch it. But I’d give it at least a chance if I were you. After all, what Starfleet vessel goes to Red Alert immediately without doing some exploration first?

As a gay man I’ve seen people care so much they tried to kill me lol

It is strange how many women hit on me and I have zero response for it everytime

Well you’ve done pissed everyone off.

Good job <3 I mean that legitimately. The best shitpost I’ve ever made have always been the ones causing straight dudes to get ravenous over me being gay. So much funnier seeing them just drool in rage and seems like you got the same pricks going lmao

Hi.

I post a lot.

I started posting about 3 years ago to another instance before moving to lemmy.world and then shifting over to lemmy.dbzer0.com. I’m gay and a massive die hard Star Trek fan. I also post a fucking lot, way more in the past that I currently do. The things that I do post to shitpost communities are pretty gay or pretty horny and have similar vibes to the stuff that Violet apparently posts.

I’ve been called a power user (which I hate), a lemmy celeb (which I hate even more) and an asshole (which is accurate). Someone also accused me of being Gallowboob (a very prominent redditor) once which was kinda funny. I’m just a known quantity.

You’ll never know either

Well a useful tip is that I don’t post in this community or to any Lemmy.world communities anymore lol

Hell yeah. When I was jumping through for screenshots I happened to just land on that moment and it was too good a chance to pass up taking a screenshot of that too lol
