I don't think I should be voting on the poll since I'm still catching up on all Trek between TOS and Discovery, so I only know one of the 4 characters pictured and that's Number One. But that got me to think about another possible name: Number21 or Number2One/NumberTwentyOne, or however you want to spell it. Idk if the 21 in your username has some meaning to you, but that way you'd be able to keep it :)
But it also kinda sounds like you're ordering something off a menu so idk about that... ^^'

It's a screenshot of a character from the TV adaption of The Expanse, Jules-Pierre Mao. He's famous for doing experiments with radiation ::: spoiler minor Leviathan Wakes/Season 1 spoiler and neglecting any human rights while doing so. :::

Inside Llewyn Davis is one of my favorite movies for how it essentially deals with depression, but Dave van Ronk being an ally even if just in throwing bricks makes it even better imo

I know you're joking but I have a friend who's like that; their introduction to Star Trek were the 2009 movies and afterwards they started watching a bit of the previous series but never really got into it. So they keep telling me how amazing the 2009 movies are (I've seen them all once around the time the released, I don't recall a lot of the plot, just that I found them to be very un-star trek, they watched them religiously) and how hot all the actors are and I just roll my eyes and say "yeah yeah, suuure". Still love them, despite their weird Star Trek opinions.

First impressions (to be continued when I watch the second episode next week)

5x01 Nice feelgood introductory episode (action scenes in warp, actions scenes in the desert, saving the population of a city through the power of ~~friendship~~ combined shields, Romulan tech, a lot of TNG references I didn't get because I never watched it but I'm sure it's good fanservice, Book's return, new Tilly storyline, new Saru story line, Kovich bringing in the unethical orders, Michael and Vance disregarding them etc etc) but I didn't like that it felt as if someone desperately wanted to introduce every new storyline in the first episode

I saw this movie in cinema when it was released and I can tell you that I haven't see it since so I haven't got a clue ^^'
What I can tell you is that I was 13 at the time and I had probably watched most of TOS and seen a few movies with the TOS cast tho I also can't pinpoint which. Most of the plot of Into Darkness eludes me and I know even 13 year old me thought it felt like a very generic action sci-fi film, almost like Star Wars, and that my dad was disappointed by it for similar reasons.
But I definitely wasn't as disappointed as him; you can impress a 13 year old with explosions and I think that Leonard Nimoy's obviously old appearance made me realize just how long ago TOS was filmed, but it also prompted me to research the actors of TOS a bit (I usually don't care much for actors or celebrities in general).

Seeing Into Darkness in cinema also lead to me believe that Star Trek as a franchise was still alive and well and I only realized later that these movies came seemingly out of nowhere. It's probably also why my English teacher was so taken aback when I, a 7th grader, could explain a comic with a joke or pun of some kind about William Shatner's toupee that was printed on one of her outdated worksheets a year prior to the release of Into Darkness (English isn't my native language, otherwise this might sound pretty normal). But my parents just had their children rather late and my dad is a nerd who grew up with TOS, of course I know Star Trek.

TL;DR: I think for me personally it helped me connect to a fandom I thought was dead; I'd have to see it again to give any actual analysis of the plot.

I appreciate the advice but don't worry too much about me; I'm currently doing one, max. two episodes per day and while it's still semester break at my uni right now I don't even manage to watch one every single day and when classes start again it'll be even worse :') Plus I (presumably, still on the search for a doc to diagnose me) got ADHD so I gotta make the most out of the obsession while it lasts, the last time I was this obsessed with something it only took 2 years for the obsession to wear off...
But I've been more or less (mostly less for the past 8 years) invested in Star Trek since I was like 10 so I assume this is gonna be a life long thing for me :)

While I'm not able to help you with the setting up part, I'd use it and I like the idea :)
Though I don't think it's mainly the missing abilities that keep me from creating memes myself; it's the fact that I feel I have too little knowledge compared to everyone else, but I'm on my way to change that, currently trying to watch all of Star Trek that I haven't seen and rewatching the part I have seen.

An episode of Star Trek after a long day.

My friends/sibling.

Researching my niche interests/finding out I share a niche interest with someone.

Taking a mental health walk.

Snacking unhealthy amounts of camembert, drinking black tea and Berber (green tea with spearmint) tea, snacking cucumber.

Eating good Falafel/Sushi/Asian/Middle-Eastern cuisine.

A good workout/feeling completely exhausted after doing martial arts.

Being able to help other people.

And because of your username: playing TotK.

I think it's just that trans people will find it easier to transition from one dying platform to a beautiful new one. (I'm so sorry, but you basically set up the punchline for me, I'll show myself out now.)

[-] lazzerot@startrek.website 6 points 10 months ago

OP are you making these yourself? Or do you know where they come from? This really tickles my funny bone, I love them Claire's memes.

Is everyone just commenting because of the instance I signed up on?! (Hi to the other Star Trek person, I see you ;)) I mean I welcome it, but I fear you'll have to wait a few years before rail has warp drive, roughly until the 23rd century...
(Also disclaimer for everyone who reads this; I didn't make this meme and I can't remember where I downloaded it, I just thought this is perfect 196 material, but if the OP sees this and wants it removed I'll do so of course)
