I'll go first:

The Voyager two-parter "Year of hell" is considered one of the strongest stories in the series, and I'd presume ranks pretty high in the entire franchise. But it's entirely rubbish, of course, because even across 2×45 minutes it only depicts 257 days.

We were promised a full year of hell, where are the last 108 days (109 in case of a leap year)?! Did they plan a three-parter but cut costs to afford an even tighter catsuit for Jeri Ryan?

I'm outraged by this glaring oversight and can never watch another Trek episode with the same suspension of disbelief, [edited for brevity]

Just kidding of course, loved rewatching the EPs the other day 🙂 What absolutely stick-in-the-mud killjoy kvetching can you all think of to ruin a Trek episode?

Bonus points for being more ridiculous than whatever Youtubers du jour come up with 🤣🖖

While kdramas having been established in global popularity, cdramas are having a bit of a moment with international audiences.

Pursuit of Jade was recently the first to crack mainland China production to crack the Netflix non-English language top ten, and stayed on it for several weeks.

Outside China, cdrama fans seem to intersect with Star Trek fans more than one might expect. Perhaps it’s the willingness to watch massive numbers of episodes to enjoy a series? cdramas typically come in with 40 episode series, and in earlier years some had 60 or 70 episodes.

So, it seems inevitable that Star Trek cdrama fans would want to fancast reboots of classic Star Trek legacy characters with top Chinese Idol drama actors.

u/universalaxototal created these and posted them on cdramafans subreddit today. Shared with permission.

More are in the works for some of the women characters.

From the original post:

• ⁠Tan Jianci righteously commanding as Xiang-Luc Picard mic drop 🎤

• ⁠Liu Yuning looking so natural in Starfleet uniform. He definitely plays the saxophone […and towers over everyone at 1.91 metres.]

• ⁠Hou Minghao as Captain Kirk, absolutely seducing an alien woman on a distant planet while the away team pretends not to notice

⁠Deng Wei as Spock/Data 🖖

• ⁠Deng Wei also somehow managing the wearing of a hair accessory on his face (it is the future, luxury brands have collapsed, so the House of Chanel has had to pivot into quantum optics and interface technology)

Rewatched Ready or not (2019) last night to prepare for the sequel. I always enjoyed the coke snorting, incompetent character Emilie, but this time around it was even funnier because I recognised Melanie Scrofano as super capable captain Batel from SNW 🤣

Edit: Batel, not Patel. Didn't say I were capable.

I found this channel recently and it had me in absolute stitches for a good hour.

Can someone put him back please.

Brian George character's accents are like a box of chocolate: you never know what you're gonna get

Not my OC. Just found it on an old hard drive when I was looking for something else.

I know it's not the same dress, but it's definitely something Lwaxana would wear (but surprisingly never did).

Edit: The dress:
