Did anything change after they became a big YouTube sponsor?

It worked for me. I'm using Boost for Lemmy as my client.

Welcome! If you need to charge your phones, note that this house has Yokohama wiring, but we have Nagoya and Shikoku adapters available.

You can leave at any time through the door over there. It's a shoji door, so you'll need to find a compatible knob. No, don't be silly, that one is a fusuma knob! Of course it won't fit.

I believe they turned off the API restrictions for moderators. So Boost (and I assume other third party apps) still works for me because I created a private subreddit and made myself a moderator.

I'll continue to lurk until Spez realizes and blocks my access but I deleted all my comments and posts and don't plan on adding any new free content to their site.

I'm sure it's just a caching issue but, infuriatingly, some of my old comments appear randomly and I have to go in and delete them all over again.

Trailer for a trailer is a pattern that started a few years ago. It's annoying and I hate it. The worst is when they put those 5 second clips at the beginning of YouTube trailers announcing a trailer is coming up.

The absolute mess of a production 2022's Star Trek Day makes me both want to watch this and skip it. The only redeeming things were the hosts but it was obvious that they were even making things up on the spot.

Real initials were already taken so Hotmail suggested ending with "2". Unfortunately, "rvq2" looked difficult to secure everywhere (and pretty ugly) so "r2vq" was born and used everywhere.

Everyone forgot who Peter Parker is. They all still remember Spider-man.

Hey thanks for the well thought out and detailed reply.

As much as I don't want to just say "well I guess we like different things" and just leave it at that, I think it does come down to how one defines episodic and rewatchable.

I think your hotel room example is a perfect example of this. I'd be very happy to put on a random episode of Strange New Worlds or Lower Decks in the same way I would with TOS, TNG, or VOY. The other shows (like Prodigy, Discovery, or Picard) I would want to rewatch the whole season to get the satisfying story (like DS9 or ENT).

I also think that you're correct that character development in TOS was more about learning who the character was, rather than watching them grow. I feel TNG had character growth episode-to-episode but, like you said, I can see how it's much more prevalent and important to the episodes in SNW.

Like I said, I hate saying this, but I think it just comes down to preference. I think I could watch a random episode of SNW and enjoy it the same way I would TNG or VOY. Maybe because I've already seen the episodes so I'm enjoying the alien of the week knowing that I don't need to see the resolution of the season long arcs. For the same reasons, though, if I recommend TNG to a friend, I always recommend watching it in order, even from the really bad first couple seasons.

The one with the eye patch? Is he only allowed to play virtually impaired characters?

So I checked the transcript of The Menagerie were Kirk speaks about the one time he met Captain Pike.

Well caught!

PIKE: Lieutenant Kirk.

KIRK: That's right! It's an honour to meet you, sir. Congratulations on your promotion to Fleet Captain.

I was so focused on Pike's face since he has met Kirk before. But this is the first time Kirk has met Pike and this is the first thing he says to him. So of course that stands out in his memory in The Menagerie.

It was shared late last year as a preview. YouTube
