I watched a few when it first aired, but it just didn't live up to the original for me. I might revisit it, if I can find it streaming anywhere.

The complicity of many democrats in the current Washington morass has never been more obvious.

Where did you see it? I can't find a listing for it.

Samuel Agro @samuelagro.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

For me, that's irrelevant. What was actually done is how it is, regardless of any unrealized hopes. Not judging those who liked it, or accepted it, just saying it's not for me. I don't think I made it beyond the first four eps of Enterprise, for that and many other reasons.

Samuel Agro @samuelagro.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I didn't stick with Enterprise long enough to see the justification, but the bottom line was they thought the new design was cooler, so fuck the timeline. Any justification that came later, clever or not, was to smooth it over after the fact. Fan service for the rabid Klingon fandom of the time.🤮

My main reason for being angry was that they'd addressed the transforming Klingon thing in DS9 in the Tribbles revisit, so to me it was well-established timeline truth. Discovery never felt like the same reality to me. I wasn't a fan of the show, at all, but I actually loved the ugly Klingons.

Samuel Agro @samuelagro.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

100% agree on the theme song and most of your observations. They lost me, literally, in the first minute, when the Klingons show up and they are in new style rather than old style makeup. I literally shouted 'oh, fuck off' at the TV.

Yeeeaaahhh... Fu*k this guy...

Perhaps my recollection of the book is faulty, since it was a while ago I read them, but it seemed to me Rice did a lot of dancing around the queerness.

Used a little white gouache there in a few spots.

I draw one pic of her every Inktober, since I love the character and she's Halloween appropriate.
