ordered a vr thing from ebay earlier this week and they printed the label immediately but still haven't dropped it in the post yet. simultaneously annoyed and sympathetic because I have definitely done that a bunch of times

lol and Dal R-El having to take the Kobayashi Maru with Spock, Odo, and Uhura voice-acted by clips from the old shows was a great "what's up, trek nerds, we know you're watching even though this show is for your children" moment

and I kinda suspect they're not gonna try to explain how the galaxy got so much smaller (aside from the Protostar having an experimental new super-powered warp drive), because it's a kids' show. They have had some excellent good weird trek situations, though. Sentient vore planet and Rok suspended in time were both great.

Caitans, tellarites, klingons, and ferengi are all alpha/beta quadrant species, the inhabited portion of delta quadrant is ostensibly supposed to be a significant distance from Federation space - like it was established in Voyager that the Kazon territory was like 70 years away from Federation space at high warp, but somehow we keep running into alpha quadrant stuff everywhere. (just, uh, like voyager, lol)

boyf started watching Star Trek Prodigy and while I think it's a fun show it's also very difficult to like, contextualize in the greater trek universe because where Prodigy takes place, physically, is very vague. They start out by explicitly stating that it's in the Delta quadrant, with a Kazon slaver delivering a caitan (?) captive to the forced labor camp that the series starts out on. And there's a Tellarite laborer. Later we run into a ferengi, and the wreckage of a Klingon ship

also if they spent like a week here and tried it out, they'd discover that accurately cw'ing their posts actually increases engagement because the feddy's fulla weirdos who love to scratch and sniff, but that's already been thoroughly explained by other folks, lol

Content warning:cw discourse meta

man I'd say I'm baffled at the indignation that a lot of new folks have to being asked to CW what they assume is anodyne stuff, but I'm pretty sure that reaction comes from the same part of the brain as flipping your shit over being asked to mask up or remember pronouns. being politely asked to do something out of consideration for others causes a certain kind of busted brain to immediately jump to "ARE YOU SAYING I'M A BAD PERSON???? HOW VERY DARE", and I got no time for it
