Oh my god it’s like you KNOW ME

[–] gedfromgont@piefed.ca 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You also like Linux and Star Trek

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 14 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Half correct! I never got into Star Trek.

Never got into star trek, yet.

IT WAS FORTOLD

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well shit in that case I wonder where I should start

Lower Decks seems like the most accessible, though I haven't seen it.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lower Decks is made of at least 50% inside jokes and organic fun-pokery. Which is brilliant if you already know Star Trek but probably very whooshy if not. Is what I'd say if I didn't know there are indeed people who got into Star Trek starting with Lower Decks which confuses me endlessly.

It is reference heavy and you can usually tell when they're making a reference but it's usually funny or charming enough that not knowing the references doesn't take away enjoyment. Then you watch tng, ds9 and voy save rewatch lower decks and realize most of that insane cartoon stuff was actually pulled from the old shows. It's great.

I mean Star Wars

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Also no! At this point I’d probably just start helping the person out.

I don’t like Battlestar Galactica, either. I’m more of a Last Starfighter guy.

Easy mistake. They meant star gate

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Are you telling me I should try to watch Star Gate too?

I saw the movie when I was little but I remember so little about it I thought the movie starred MacGuyver.

Well you're here so it's bound to happen
