Firefox because it isn't chromium, and I just like it. With chromium, google controls the web. Doesn't matter what kind of wrapper a third party puts on it. It's still chromium and it's still google.

I just got way more interested in the show. Notaro and Picardo are fantastic. Whatever they do, it'll be worth it to see those two.

Just tried it, and it rendered properly after 2 clicks(3 altogether including the original)

edit:
BTW, I'm on firefox 115.12.0esr on debian 12

I'm getting peculiar behavior clicking on your boosts. Not sure what's going on. I suspect it's a mastodon issue(I'm on 4.2.10), but I can't say for sure. Once I get to the attached page, I can click the links, and everything works fine.

I wonder how bad the numbers were; if it was losing money, or they just didn't make all the money like they wanted. Sometimes you have to give things time to find the audience.

Prodigy is a bit of a weird one, and I'm not surprised it didn't catch on right away. IMO, it could've been profitable(if it isn't already), with the audience slowly and steadily increasing.
FTR, I'm old, and I love it. I was disappointed I didn't see someone, but you can't have everything

I've only yelled at my screen once, so that's a big improvement over previous seasons.

@ValueSubtracted

Heh... Yea, I forgot about that. Trek isn't always the best at consistency, or perfect logic. They could still pretend that never happened, or give some hand wavy explanation for why Kira and Dukat never mentioned what they look like.

It's out there now. I guess we'll see where it goes. I'm not upset. There's been worse design decisions in the franchise :^)

@ValueSubtracted @setsneedtofeed

It could go either way. Someone around here postulated they were proto changlings. That's pretty interesting. There's other cool ways to spin it, and lame ways also of course. Like all this stuff, I think "Ok, now what?". I hope what they come up with outweighs the fun mystery of the Breen.

@ValueSubtracted @JWBananas

I'll go further and say I'm not in favor of remasters. I want everything original, low res warts and all. Tasteful enhancements don't really bother me much, but I'm just as happy with the original versions, and consider them a record of history.

@onehellofausername @sarsaparilyptus

I'm pretty cool with subpar episodes. They still add to the world, and give me something to watch with characters I enjoy. Of the series I like(almost all of them), there isn't a single episode I skip on rewatch. The "bad" ones bulk out the series and make it last longer.

@Takeshidude

He's alright. No love, but no hate either. What bothered me most was the 'Leave it to Beaver' presentation in the early years.

@ValueSubtracted

I thought this was a funny turn of phrase...

FRAKES: You have to remember, audiences were not ready for a bald English captain with a French name. And a Klingon on the bridge, and a blind guy driving.
