This sucks (Was it really costing much money to run?) but as long as Firefox continues to work with full-flavor ublock I'm happy.
Why are they angry? Are you providing evidence in your comments or just ranting?
LOL @ the gap where Neelix died
I watched this at full volume at work and my boss offered me a raise what does it mean
It's centralized and for-profit. They will have to do ads eventually or shut down.
That's the user downvoting the copy of the post on their own instance. If OP doesn't have downvotes then those votes won't federate.
exactly. the only kind of self expression anyone needs is going on lemmy and making smug comments.
Some excellent observations here thank you. Viewing the bubbles as symptoms rather than the disease, really makes the "twist" as the end into more of a "reveal". I tend not to prefer Russel T Davies brand of storytelling but even in my confusion I thought this was a stand-out episode.
Also always worth noting that Gatwa’s final scene here was the first scene he shot as the Doctor
Wow! What a scene to drop an actor into.
For most of this episode I thought it was a good (if a bit on-the-nose) commentary about our societal distraction sickness and everyone living literally in a bubble. The hero was someone who literally able to walk on his own two legs, etc. But once they went underground everything kind of went loopy?
Where did the slug monsters come from? The idea that they came from "outside the (city's) bubble" kind of reinforced the idea that it's dangerous to hide from what's scary. But then we see the homeworld was also eaten destroyed by the same slug-monsters? If the slugs are controlled or created by the dots, are we meant to understand that the people of the home world are similarly walking around in bubbles? If so, then why does Finetime exist? The whole premise of an off-world "perfect" colony seemed to imply they were providing some service to the home-worlders beyond their 2 hours of "work". Why would a society of people living in bubbles send their youth to a faraway planet?
Then we see that the dots are capable of quickly killing the inhabitants. So where did the slug monsters come from? Why did the dots not just kill zippoty zop? Were the slugs obeying the dots alphabetical order parameters? Were they created by the dots?
At this point I was like "whatever it's Doctor Who, the plots are never as consistent as the vibes!" But then the vibes changed completely when it's revealed everyone is racist?!
My best guess is that this is some bungled way of comparing the people of Finetime to our modern social problem with radicalization on social media, like "look beyond yourself man" but that feels a bit of a stretch. I feel like I'm missing something big here!
Is there crypto stuff in Firefox? Also I like the Pocket integration...
My sad take is that I felt like I noticed a shift in the opinions of fandom after that infamous Red Letter Media review in 2012. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love those reviews and think they're hilarious, but a lot of Redditors (and Lemmy-ers) seemed to look at the Plinkett character as someone worth emulating instead of despising.
Not to people with a financial interest in promoting Monero.
Generations is one of my favorites. Frequently underrated, imo. I honestly might place it above First Contact but I love all of Gene's children equally.
Apologies I see how you got that impression, I edited my comment for clarity.
This thread is a honeypot for annoying accounts to block
Mother watched it while I was in the womb. I came out already addicted.
I don't think this one is so bad. Polarized plating reduced the effectiveness of energy weapons the same way polarized sunglasses reduce the glare from the sun.
If anything a vague "shields up" makes even less sense.
OP asked for examples and the comment in question (along with your reply) gives the appearance that you're both just making up nonexistent situations in order to complain about a TV show.
💯It's the classic alt-right playbook of prioritizing civility over the actual message.
Until Disco S3, "Living witness" was the furthest future we had seen in Star Trek. But Academy takes place after Discovery. At the end of "Living Witness" the Doctor is described as heading towards Earth.
Assuming the burn didn't get them, it's entirely possible two EMHs are surviving in Discovery's time. I think it would be a fun twist if it wasn't the EMH we expect!
This was mentioned elsewhere but I thought it was cool enough to deserve it's own post. The artist is Dusty Abell and they are selling copies on their website here: https://www.dustyabell.com/products/star-trek-doctor-who-friendship-is-universal-print
It also voted to lower jail call price caps.

That includes The Verge.
I think this is a good incentive for Journalists to be more active on the fediverse.
You know things are getting real when a Starfleet officer takes off their jacket.
